Definitely a fan.They filmed it in Melbourne. I remember they did one scene across the road from my old work. Converted a laneway into a garage. Now I just need to find the photos I took. One of my colleagues had a contact on set and we used to get updates as to when he was on set or when they were going to blow stuff up.
