He Died With a Felafel in His Hand	comment	A search for love, meaning and bathroom solitude, with a lot of random shit happening in the meantime.He Died with a Felafel in His Hand (2001) is a flamboyantly pointless housemates-from-hell story, based on a the grunge fiction novel by John Birmingham. Despite mediocre circulation, it has become something of a Cult Classic among slackers, unemployed yobbos, leftist university students, and anybody else who's experienced the joys of cramped, noisy shared-house living in Australia. Memorable mainly for that scene in backyard Brisbane, plus a kick-arse soundtrack full of Australian artists and snappy writing that makes it the most quotable text since Oscar Wilde.Stars Noah Taylor, Emily Hamilton and, for some reason, Romane Bohringer. And while most of the people described in the page quote show up in the film, all of them show up in the book.

He Died With a Felafel in His Hand / int_132a7a97	comment	When the neo-Nazis show up, Taylor (wearing camo face paint and armed with an M16 water-pistol) says, "I had to call in the cavalry to neutralise the rent situation. With extreme prejudice." While The Ride Of The Valkyries swells.

He Died With a Felafel in His Hand / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: All of the Melbourne scenes, in contrast to the Brisbane and Sydney parts. All three parts have their share of black comedy, but the Melbourne scenes have a higher ratio of dark stuff to comedy. Everything in the Brisbane scenes is treated as funny, no matter how dark, and while Sydney has a few serious moments it ends on a very hopeful note, but Melbourne is just straight up depressing, with a (very welcome, but small) side of comedy.

He Died With a Felafel in His Hand / int_90e31482	comment	Laser-Guided Karma: It's not outright stated, but very heavily implied that Nina was the one behind 'Robert J Corcoran', and she let Danny be falsely blamed. At the end of the movie, Danny pays off his debts and walks away a free man as the police go after Nina and Anya's taxi.

After that, things go very dark very quickly, and though the movie ends on a hopeful note, that's really the moment when everything starts going downhill.

It's also the song that plays over the ending and credits, as he and Sammy walk away from everyone and everything. Flip's death and the immediate aftermath has "Golden Brown" by the Stranglers.

He turns it off, but when he discovers what's going on, the music comes back on. The beginning has "Golden Brown" by the Stranglers playing very loudly, prompting Danny to go outside and demand that Flip turn it off. Turns out that Flip was watching Rage, and he died while watching it.
