“I actually know the movie he watched… Romper Stomper, Australian cult classic, 1992. He was playing Russell Crowe in what he was doing. I’m not making this up. That’s a scoop for ya.”

In the 1992 movie, actor Russell Crowe plays the leader of a neo-Nazi group in Melbourne, Australia. Crowe’s character said the following line in one of the film’s scenes…

“I’m gonna tell you something. I want you to listen to me, okay? This is not your country.”
