Magnificent and silly, the television series continues incarnations of Timothy Ly's film work. Set in Cabramatta where Mr Ly grew up and went to school, Timothy set up martial arts drama in a short film made on no budget called Maximum Choppage shortly after he left Fairvale HS in 2002. He used locally sourced actors and locations. The community is often ignored by mainstream media, unless there is a drugs issue to report on. Timothy also made a feature length film titled "Maximum Choppage Round 2" on no budget with local actors. The humour of the earlier films has been amped considerably to fit into ABC sensibilities, but it is funny. It fits with the locale. It is unique in Australian context. Silly, funny and worth watching.
