I'm not sure of the reference but I would assume since it's New South Wales you could effectively throw a rock in any direction and it would hit a Aussie
My Dad grew up on 12 Simmat Avenue, Condell Park. My Mum grew up on 11 Allingham Street, Condell Park. They always tell me how Bankstown was full of Aussies when they were kids. Now it has been taken over by the Lebanese and other ethnic groups. Nothing against Arabs of course.
@@AustraliaUnmasked1984 You could be right. 1st gen Lebs who migrated 40 years ago are now dying, their kid's and all the millions of dollars in drug money is going to Surtherland Shire, Eastern Suburbs and North Shore lol. It's their turn to be wogged out in the next 40 years. Bankstown will be white again by 2060 hahaha, full circle.
Lived there at this time and worked at Holden motors banks town and lived in strathfield. Long time ago I miss the time when I was there .long time ago.now I live in the usa
I haven't thought of the Bankstown roller skating rink for years. I used to think, Wow, how do they do that Nut Bush City Limits dance without falling over.. And on roller skates, in Bankstown. Just a passing thought.
@@traigakhongten3564 Would that be a Vietnamese.. function centre /restaurant? Much (much!) better cuisine than the old roller skating rink, if it is that place. 😉

The height restriction indicator in front of that railway bridge looks like it was built in a men's shed, fair dinkum. The local state member needs a talking to in order to remove this eyesore and get the NSW DMR to come up with something less obtrusive.
I'll always be proud to call myself a Bankstown boy. It is actually far nicer than people give it credit for although growing up there was tricky. Thanks to the Middle Eastern crime squad and Goulburn Supermax it has vastly improved since the days of Blue Light Disco stabbings, good old Telopea St and the classy Milperra massacre. Getting belted up by gangs in Bulldogs jerseys for no other reason than you were white and on your own was fun too, ahh the good old days. Nostalgia.
Paul Couzens' only acting job, this movie... I wonder what became of him. Anyone know if he has a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter acoount? Would be nice to ask him some movie details in person...
Bankstown. Before it was Commonwealth Bank, now it's the Bank of Arabia (which of course deposits the "secret dollar" - which pays for housing and yellow torana's) otherwise known as SCATA ZAKATA MALAKA.
this is such a crappy movie! But I love it cause I grew up in the area ( I am 44 now ) . I remember "coles on the bridge" and seeing a holden one tonner furniture body bent in half under the low railway underpass .
Arrggh I've been transported back in time & it's not all bad ! The Itie in the Valiant these days is dinkie die Ozzie & in reality that Val would have left that old FJ in the dust.

How the hell is Bankstown the same as the projects? I don’t see homeless people flooding Bankstown, I don’t see people getting shot 24/7, I don’t see crackheads there. The most project-like suburb in Sydney really Surry Hills/Redfern. I bet u made up ‘gangstown’, and you have never been to Bankstown, yet you still try to give your opinion of Bankstown. You are entitled to your🐱 opinion of Bankstown, but at least get your white-trash self up out of Vaucluse, and go there to see ‘how bad Bankstown’ is.
Damn, Everyone sure don't like the lebos in the comment section, I don't get it, What have they done to that place. Lol excuse me for being abit confused.
You're excused. Knowing this from being born and raised right smack in Bankstown, quite a bit of the older Lebanese folks are more civilised, however it was a fair percentage of the younger Lebs that wrecked their reputation, with their holier-than-thou attitude, their "I own Bankstown. You stay out of my city" mentality, disregard for authority, etc. But particularly the latter, given the level of disrespect they air out at the police, the amount of carnage they caused through doing burnouts and doughnuts with their cars (normally Japanese), and their level of shouting. But then some of the Bankstown Police have then in turn damaged their own reputation by mixing the badly-behaved crowd with the well-behaved crowd by means of accusations and assumptions leading to innocent folks being arrested or tackled, which then turned the level of rebellion from the reckless young Lebs even further.
Lebanese people have been immigrating to Australia since the 1800’s and early 1900’s. I know a Lebanese guy who used to have the custom plate AUSSIE on his car.
@@bluemarshall6180 The funny thing you can be racists all you want bankstown was built and Australia infact was built by migrants so burn all you want nothing going to change that. It just shows how racist people can be laugh and smile in your face and behind your back they talk shit
Back before it was spot-the-Aussie at Bankstown Square.
Was a great place to live, then all the Europeans moved out to get away from the Lebo's
Yeah I wish "they" took over eastern suburbs.
@@povofpv61 they took over double bay already
I'm not sure of the reference but I would assume since it's New South Wales you could effectively throw a rock in any direction and it would hit a Aussie
Exactly true !
Wow, classic 1977 views of Bankstown
I love your songs
Death of a suburb.....
I used to own a 1955 Chevy sedan. Its' number plate was BAD 786 five plates after the FJ in the movie!
I only recognise the bridge. That's where the train goes all the time. On the other side is Bankstown Centro. Lived in Bankstown since 2002
North and South Terraces.
Now Bankstown looks like fucking Beirut
Enjoying your stuff Gezza....jeez I miss the Sydney of old
Now it’s just Baghdad.
Same in Melbourne
On the contrary. Baghdad are Iraqis you convict fuck
back then it was all bogans now its all lebos
My parents are Lebos and I live in Condell Park. lol. Nah all good mate

I was 145 Marion Street Bankstown,,corner Highland Ave ,good old days mate
@@danielhedger5904 yeah mate nah , the Lebanese have been driven out by Indians
Sydney is a fat cat town. Every Lebo is getting pushed out because majority cant make 6 figures. Those that do dont want to live in Bankstown.
1:24 that was prophetic.
Back when there were actually Aussies in this town
We are coming back. All the Arabs want to move away from Bankstown now.

I miss the Bankstown from back then, I went to Bankstown GHS in 1971-2

I haven't thought of the Bankstown roller skating rink for years.
I used to think,

And on roller skates, in Bankstown.
Just a passing thought.
Bankstown roller skates turn in restaurant about 15y now I think , I’m not sure now.
@@traigakhongten3564 Would that be a Vietnamese.. function centre /restaurant?
Much (much!) better cuisine than the old roller skating rink, if it is that place. 😉
that’s it
@@traigakhongten3564 Amazing.
I went there once, for a bush fire charity night, and didn't even realise it.
Thanks for letting me know.

That railway underpass!
Last scene was on Robets Rd Boral Cement is still there only 1 car on the rd now there's 10000 a hour
I recognise the bus stop near the train station that is it
Was The Area still Called Canterbury Bankstown?

Seen the movie, along time a go .
@ramio1983 Its funny they probably arrived not long after this video was made,
over 30 years later they still haven't really assimilated
They used to hold the Hotrod and Street Machine shows in the Shopping Plazas back then
now its all drug dealers and gang shootings...
Roselands was the big one for the NSW title for hot rods .
Do people realize that is Robert's Road where he was cutoff by the Valiant, next to Enfield Yard.
Check out the single deck ' Posty ' red rattler carriage booting along at 1:12

Before it was little baghdad

@@AridersLifeYT whether it’s the immigrants or not mate! This country is well and truely stuffed! Has been for a long time now, and getting worse!
The only similarity to the Bankstown of today was the driver pulling out in front and the reaction.

Classic movie. A bit cheesy but I'm glad they made it , sink a lot beer and drive ! But don't forget your P plates.
