I think it's more a film depicting a wrong-headed every-man who simply does not know any better, with Bazza being a reflection of a certain type of person who might not even exist in reality for all I know, it's all seems very exaggerated to me, and I am not Australian. It is also chock full of colorful and offensive Australian slang, which on the surface is rather rude, but the movie is not mean-spirited, so that sort of softens the blow. The film plays out in an episodic way that lacks a plot, coming off as a loose series of comedy sketches than an actual film. The flick was the directorial debut of Bruce Beresford, who would later go onto direct the gritty ozploitation heist flick Money Movers (1978) before moving onto a more reputable films like Driving Miss Daisy (1988).
It's a fun enough low-brow adventure but it is far too long at almost two hours for what it is.
