This is ONE OF THE BEST COMEDIES I HAVE EVER SEEN! Beautifully irreverent, quirky and absurd and full of random dialogue, this is one of those films that will make you laugh until to pee. I am not joking!
Ned tells the "untold" story of Ned Kelly. In this version, we are led to believe that Ned got into the bushranging business in order to fund his true passion; magic. That's right, he wanted to be a magician. His family, who were in the rubber farming trade (imagine fields of rubber plants basking in the sunlight) shunned him for not wanting to follow in the family business. So Ned goes it alone.
Ned's adventure sees him running into three outlaws: one of whom has a burning desire to get shot in the face, and another who simply loves getting dolled up in pantalloons and dresses; and the four of them would eventually form The Hughes gang...but the name doesn't stick, so eventually changes to The Kelly gang. As their reputation grows, they are hunted down by the evil and gay Mr Sinclair, and how Felix Williamson manages to deliver dialogue like "This tea tastes like it was pissed from a dead baby!" with a straight face is beyond me.
In an interview with Empire, Christopher Walken remarked that Ned was one of his favourite films of all time. So watch it and see for yourself! This is a true gem of the Australian film industry. Guaranteed to chase the blues away!
