www.collectingb...
More of a documentary than a drama, a 'docu-drama' if you will, 'The F.J. Holden' movie delivers up Bankstown, NSW, Australia, as it really was for us local rev-heads in the late 1970s.
Back before it was spot-the-Aussie at Bankstown Square.
Was a great place to live, then all the Europeans moved out to get away from the Lebo's
Yeah I wish "they" took over eastern suburbs.
@@povofpv61 they took over double bay already
I'm not sure of the reference but I would assume since it's New South Wales you could effectively throw a rock in any direction and it would hit a Aussie
Exactly true !
Death of a suburb.....
Wow, classic 1977 views of Bankstown
I used to own a 1955 Chevy sedan. Its' number plate was BAD 786 five plates after the FJ in the movie!
Now Bankstown looks like fucking Beirut
Now it’s just Baghdad.
Same in Melbourne
On the contrary. Baghdad are Iraqis you convict fuck
I only recognise the bridge. That's where the train goes all the time. On the other side is Bankstown Centro. Lived in Bankstown since 2002
North and South Terraces.
1:24 that was prophetic.
Back when there were actually Aussies in this town
We are coming back. All the Arabs want to move away from Bankstown now.
@@StephenWestSyd You could be right. 1st gen Lebs who migrated 40 years ago are now dying, their kid's and all the millions of dollars in drug money is going to Surtherland Shire, Eastern Suburbs and North Shore lol. It's their turn to be wogged out in the next 40 years. Bankstown will be white again by 2060 hahaha, full circle.
True, well said !
Lived there at this time and worked at Holden motors banks town and lived in strathfield. Long time ago I miss the time when I was there .long time ago.now I live in the usa
Enjoying your stuff Gezza....jeez I miss the Sydney of old
back then it was all bogans now its all lebos
My parents are Lebos and I live in Condell Park. lol. Nah all good mate
My Dad grew up on 12 Simmat Avenue, Condell Park. My Mum grew up on 11 Allingham Street, Condell Park. They always tell me how Bankstown was full of Aussies when they were kids. Now it has been taken over by the Lebanese and other ethnic groups. Nothing against Arabs of course.
I was 145 Marion Street Bankstown,,corner Highland Ave ,good old days mate
@@danielhedger5904 yeah mate nah , the Lebanese have been driven out by Indians
I haven't thought of the Bankstown roller skating rink for years.
I used to think,
Wow, how do they do that Nut Bush City Limits dance without falling over..
And on roller skates, in Bankstown.
Just a passing thought.
Bankstown roller skates turn in restaurant about 15y now I think , I’m not sure now.
@@traigakhongten3564 Would that be a Vietnamese.. function centre /restaurant?
Much (much!) better cuisine than the old roller skating rink, if it is that place. 😉
that’s it
@@traigakhongten3564 Amazing.
I went there once, for a bush fire charity night, and didn't even realise it.
Thanks for letting me know.
That railway underpass!
magnetic P plates in 77. wow, I had no idea we had them back then.
I miss the Bankstown from back then, I went to Bankstown GHS in 1971-2
The Burqa is mandatory there now
@@emohruo7996 Don't come to bankstown... your not here welcome here
Don't come to bankstown... your not here welcome here
@Snake Eyes okay.. so why you telling me this you spinner?
@Snake Eyes I live in Bankstown you weirdo
@ramio1983 Its funny they probably arrived not long after this video was made,
over 30 years later they still haven't really assimilated
Before it was little baghdad
The height restriction indicator in front of that railway bridge looks like it was built in a men's shed, fair dinkum. The local state member needs a talking to in order to remove this eyesore and get the NSW DMR to come up with something less obtrusive.
0:30 he literally drove through the Plaza of today where i use to Jig school and hang out with friends, police would catch us and take us back to school after a twitch of the ears, a treat before the cane from principal or the teacher. The best life
I recognise the bus stop near the train station that is it
The fj Holden 1977 cool film
I'll always be proud to call myself a Bankstown boy. It is actually far nicer than people give it credit for although growing up there was tricky. Thanks to the Middle Eastern crime squad and Goulburn Supermax it has vastly improved since the days of Blue Light Disco stabbings, good old Telopea St and the classy Milperra massacre. Getting belted up by gangs in Bulldogs jerseys for no other reason than you were white and on your own was fun too, ahh the good old days. Nostalgia.
The only similarity to the Bankstown of today was the driver pulling out in front and the reaction.
Was The Area still Called Canterbury Bankstown?
They used to hold the Hotrod and Street Machine shows in the Shopping Plazas back then
now its all drug dealers and gang shootings...
Roselands was the big one for the NSW title for hot rods .
Seen the movie, along time a go .
Check out the single deck ' Posty ' red rattler carriage booting along at 1:12
It's Paul Couzens, though he does look a lot like Craig McLachlan.
Paul Couzens' only acting job, this movie... I wonder what became of him. Anyone know if he has a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter acoount? Would be nice to ask him some movie details in person...
Saw this car in 77 painted yellow.
Arrggh I've been transported back in time & it's not all bad ! The Itie in the Valiant these days is dinkie die Ozzie & in reality that Val would have left that old FJ in the dust.
Aus Ren and Stimpy
No you mean the 'Marrickville Mercedes!..!
this is such a crappy movie! But I love it cause I grew up in the area ( I am 44 now ) . I remember "coles on the bridge" and seeing a holden one tonner furniture body bent in half under the low railway underpass .
It is terribly tedious...like old episodes of _Homicide_ - hours of footage of cars driving around with jaunty library music added for effect! (Great time capsule of old cars an streets, though.)
bankstown's more funnier since the 1980s
anybody remember the old cobbitty farm bakey in bankstown
Remember it.... Built it! lol
@@raystanley8584 do you know anything about the 1921 building on the South Terrace? Right next to where the jewel theatre used to be (now the asian club)
still the same road rage just lebo's
The good old days when BANKSTOWN was the Real Australia
Classic movie. A bit cheesy but I'm glad they made it , sink a lot beer and drive ! But don't forget your P plates.
Whats this show called?
The fj Holden film
everyone putting shit on immigrants. spot the aussie this, viet that blah blah.
doesnt matter. you born here your Australian. I seen a vietnamese man yell out "this is australia" before punching on with a sudanese guy outfront of bakery. god i love this country.
they ruined it
@Mack Hannon why u hating
@Mack Hannon spanish-irish-english-french mix.

bankstown today: 2 Lebo muslims doing 25km over in their subaru wrx, blasting mosque music or rap through the speakers.
You are also a hypocritical bigot!
@@bluemarshall6180 The funny thing you can be racists all you want bankstown was built and Australia infact was built by migrants so burn all you want nothing going to change that. It just shows how racist people can be laugh and smile in your face and behind your back they talk shit
Bill dee and yet he has more likes against his comment.
wtf is mosque music? theres no such thing
Ramsey-Not-Ramsay have never heard of the call to pray.
They call it gangstown for a reason its like the projects in NYC
How the hell is Bankstown the same as the projects? I don’t see homeless people flooding Bankstown, I don’t see people getting shot 24/7, I don’t see crackheads there. The most project-like suburb in Sydney really Surry Hills/Redfern. I bet u made up ‘gangstown’, and you have never been to Bankstown, yet you still try to give your opinion of Bankstown. You are entitled to your🐱 opinion of Bankstown, but at least get your white-trash self up out of Vaucluse, and go there to see ‘how bad Bankstown’ is.
@SomeoneIsBreathing. I lived there 15 years muppet, everyone is a meat head there, uneducated, ignorant, inflated egos, and a trashed up heap 👌👍
MAMAMIA! 😂
Is this Aus. Dukes of Hazzard or Cheech and Chong?
Damn, Everyone sure don't like the lebos in the comment section, I don't get it, What have they done to that place. Lol excuse me for being abit confused.
Typical racist cunts
You're excused.
Knowing this from being born and raised right smack in Bankstown, quite a bit of the older Lebanese folks are more civilised, however it was a fair percentage of the younger Lebs that wrecked their reputation, with their holier-than-thou attitude, their "I own Bankstown. You stay out of my city" mentality, disregard for authority, etc. But particularly the latter, given the level of disrespect they air out at the police, the amount of carnage they caused through doing burnouts and doughnuts with their cars (normally Japanese), and their level of shouting. But then some of the Bankstown Police have then in turn damaged their own reputation by mixing the badly-behaved crowd with the well-behaved crowd by means of accusations and assumptions leading to innocent folks being arrested or tackled, which then turned the level of rebellion from the reckless young Lebs even further.
Lebanese people have been immigrating to Australia since the 1800’s and early 1900’s. I know a Lebanese guy who used to have the custom plate AUSSIE on his car.
Is the Olympic Pool still in operation....??
It's been replaced by the Bankstown Arts Centre
Long gone.
Fukn lebs driving around, nothing's changed
bankstows flops
Go easy on the Leb bashing , geez 🙄
No imported filith
*Wish I had a time machine*
