That is what it is about

Emus! Aren't they those big birds that can't fly? Because they devastate the landscape and abduct children, Australia has a real problem with these feathered creatures. A special military unit arrives. The head of the operation is Major Meredith, who has a bone to pick with the emus. Two mangy Rambos and "Australia's Horniest Man" are sent in to remedy the situation. The aim of the chaotic squad is to hunt down the emu queen.

What you should know

The Australians are crazy! The cheapest puppets, CGI from the junk heap and gags way below the belt. If you can stomach that and are not averse to films such as SHARKNADO and NUDIST COLONY OF THE DEAD, THE EMU WAR is a trash movie as it is written in the book: cheap, bloody, stupid and, above all, completely balla balla! "Brain off, laugh muscles on" is the motto here. Unbelievable, but true: the movie is based on true events. In 1932, the Australian military really did take action against emus. What the fuck!

Direction

Behind THE EMU WAR is a wild trio of Australian comedy greats. John Campbell (OPEN SLATHER), Lisa Fineberg (GHOSTERBUSTERS) and Jay Morrissey (BACKYARD ASHES) met while working on the comedy series GOCSY'S CLASSICS. From this series, they formed a group of jokers known as "Hot Dad Productions", which worked both in front of and behind the camera in THE EMU WAR. With so much silliness, you can't help but wonder: they all have a bird, don't they?
