Independent U.S. distributors Synapse Films have announced that they will release on Blu-ray director Tom Jeffrey's classic Australian film
The Odd Angry Shot (1979), starring Graham Kennedy, Bryan Brown, John Hargreaves, and John Jarratt. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is August 13th.
Harry (Kennedy), a hard-edged Special Air Service Corporal, meets a new company of soldiers during his second tour in Vietnam. There's the naïve Bill (Jarratt), the easy-going Bung (Hargreaves), the blunt Rogers (Brown), the pragmatic Dawson (Graeme Blundell), and the youthful and innocent Scott (Ian Gilmour). Because of their training as professional soldiers from Australia's toughest Army unit, these men believe they can deal with any situation. They pass the time playing practical jokes, getting into drunken brawls and humoring themselves to keep their minds off the war. But, when the first "odd angry shot" rings out, and an enemy mortar barrage hits their camp causing many casualties, the men realize their protective shield of humor is no defense at all against the harsh realities of armed combat.
