not horrible nor great

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Look, I'm a fan of this film, truly, I am. It's just very dated. The anachronisms, the language, the sensibilities, the pacing. It might be a road movie, but it's SLOW. There's no sense of urgency and you really don't 'get' that there's actually something they're running from.However, I love how much this film covers the country. The Wellington scenes are good fun.Perhaps I would have liked it more if I was alive when it was released/set but it just doesn't appeal to me. I don't deny that it's a stalwart of Kiwi cinema, but times have changed and this film certainly doesn't endure.

Yep great Kiwi movie in it's day, got people back into the movie theaters showed life the way it was, if you were unhappy with things the way they were you could just drop everything jump in a car and go. sadly it is showing it's age a little now, but is still great entertainment the mini speeding through the streets of wellington is just great, then driving through the wellington railway station just great.As for those big Aussie tanks the cops use to use, they always had trouble catching smaller cars on the Windy narrow roads, only ever good for the straits. The sad thing is Geoff Murphy didn't make any more comedy ones after this bit of a shame. got some great actors, Kelly,Bruno,Don & co. Lots of kiwi jokes. just a great entertaining movie, i saw it on DVD so bought it, a must have. Shame that movies like this for good old entertainments sake are seldom made anymore.

This movie is great fun, and entertaining from start to finish. Whereas some of Geoff Murphy's movies (Quiet Earth, Young Guns 2, Utu) made it to video, this little gem didn't (at least not here in the US) - too bad. Hopefully at some point, someone will recognise it as the classic it is, and release it on video or DVD.

Goodbye Pork Pie is one of my favourite movies, mainly because it covers everything about road trips, hitch-hiking and hassles with the law in New Zealand. Kiwi's get a real kick from GBPP because it's a hoot to see the old police cars, the chases in Wellington CBD, the dope smoking, the small "in" jokes about how New Zealanders see each other.
