| His street. . . His games. . . His rules. . . Nominated for seven 1984 AFI Awards including Best Supporting Actress (Sandy Gore and Peta Toppano), and Best Original Music Score. Winner – Best Achievement in Sound. Vinnie (Vince Colosimo) is a kid heading for big trouble. He’s an outcast at school alienating teachers and students alike and a runner for the local Mafia boss. He lives in welfare housing with his mother, a young brother and sister, and his Mum’s lover who he can’t stand. And he takes out his aggression with the world practising boxing at the local gym. Worst of all Vinnie is continually haunted by the childhood image of the murder of the man he most wants to be – his father. But hope is at hand for Vinnie in the form of a girl Gloria (Sigrid Thornton), and his music teacher Bonnie (Sandy Gore) who encourage him to dump his Mafia associates and get involved as a drummer in the school band. Now Vinnie is marching to the beat of a difference drum, and a Street Hero is about to be born! Co-starring Peta Toppano, Bill Hunter, Ray Marshall and Amanda Muggleton, STREET HERO also reunites Vince Colosimo with his MOVING OUT comrades – director Michael Pattinson, Screenwriter Jan Sardi and co-stars Sandy Gore, Peter Sardi and Tibor Gyapjas. And features a soundtrack that spawned one of the biggest selling record albums of its year with hits from Jon English, Renee Geyer, Dragon, Ross Wilson, Leo Sayer, Dear Enemy and Sharon O’Neill. |
