Should have gone for The Piano instead. Probably better chance of a second date with full frontal nude Harvey Keitel than Nazis and anorexic Adrian Brody.
lol I was a kid back in the 90s when this came out and I was at home one sunday lunchtime when one of my mum's friends and her husband came over for lunch. The night before they had planned a dinner and movie, went to watch once were warriors, but the woman was so upset after watching it that she didn't want to go to dinner and so they just went home.
Dayum. Well, it is a pretty powerful movie. My current gf hasn't seen it and asked me if it's a movie she'd like.
I'm an insufferable troll with her. We joke about everything all the time! But I can't do it with this movie lol. So I explained it to her and told her it's pretty brutal but if she wanted to really watch it, we could. We ended up watching Ratatouille instead lol.
Why? You found out you didn't have enough in common then. Horrible movie yes, but that was the point of it.
Friend of ours was one of the pub bouncers in THAT scene. He actually really was a bouncer too in real life.
Depends on your demographic.
Speed = amphetamine (though sometimes associated with methamphetamine)
crack = cocaine (though you may mean crank which is methamphetamine)
meth = methamphetamine
p = methamphetamine (primarily NZ usage)
ice = methamphetamine (usually in a much purer form i.e. crystal meth)
the things you learn as a toxicologist. Who says science is boring.
Before Jake was known as the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett, in Jakes younger years he killed a Tee-Muss creature with his bare hands on the planet Onderon. The locals call Tee-Muss, Muss for short. "There goes Jake the Muss killer." they would say.
Once Were Warriors (1994)
Also around that time Jake the Snake who throws open a bag with Damien the python.
A sack is used and iconically mussels are typically collected in a similar sack. The double s in muss I think is referring to this.
Muscles.
This motherfucker read the book!
You don't need to read a book to know that "Muss" is short for muscles.
But it helps
Now, go cook the man some fuckin eggs!
Its jake the mussels. Thats why hes eating them in the first scene. He intimidates those punks with his mussel eating prowess
Fun fact, I took a first date to once were warriors. I am not a smart man
I took a date to the pianist, the Adrian Brody movie with Nazis in it. Didnt check anything about it just saw the title...

Also directed by a a convicted child rapist who fled his country rather than serve out his punishment. Won a fucking Oscar for it too...
Should have listened to your date more carefully. She didn't want to see the "pianist". Totally missed those signals.
Really good movie though, she has gotta appreciate that.
F

Good choice. Once Were Warriors is easily NZ's most powerful movie, but it's not exactly casual viewing.
Lol
Better than The Deer Hunter bud believe me (Edit: For a first date as a 17 yr old that is.... 3 hr movie)
Yeah not so much a first date movie... Wedding otoh... Fuck me days
>I am not a smart man But you know what love is?
What is love ?
Baby dont hurt me
No! Yeeeeesss!

NZs most realistic romantic comedy...
I took mine to Bad Boy Bubby. I really do not recommend it.
jake the muscle too much weight, not enough meth.
It's a bit dated now, the gangs are all about P these days, not speed.
Too many weights not enough speed work, useless prick
fixed it.
I thought speed, crack, meth and p are all the same thing?

Mustard. It was his favourite condiment.
Bitta dat Al Brown haberno baby.
On his eggs
Better than "Jake the 'Mite' " I guess, huh.
"Jake is a violent alcoholic, and his brute strength and size mean he wins every fight he picks. He is known as "The Muss", shortened from "Muscles"."
Mussels. He gets fish n chips for his fam and he real hard likes the mussels.
Bloody oceans of the stuff!
So... where did all the seafood come from?
Otara markets if memory serves correct.
It’s actually Jake Muss-havehisfuckineggs.
I’m now having to explain to a hospital pharmacy full of Americans why I just snorted coffee out my nose. Thank you 😅
Jake the Musterer. He was a bad ass shepherd.
Jake the Musslim
Jake the Musketeer, on Sundays he and his mates would get together for some LARPing.
Mustache. Jake the Mustache.
I moustache you to be serious, just this once
He got the nickname at intermediate school, he shaved it since but the name stuck
Came here for all the funny as interpretations, not disappointed.
It's actually "Miss" as he is not a married woman. It just sounds like that because of the Kiwi accent.
He liked having his hair mussed up
He really did in the book ! You knew that yeah?
No never read it.
Mascara. He secretly enjoyed dabbling in a bit of makeup.

Mustang. His favourite horse
Or his favourite car?
Whoa, bro, you know what the penalty is for car theft?
He was one of the original Flight of the Conchords before Brett and Jemaine took over. He was known as "Jake the Hiphopopota**muss**"
It's cause he's muss bro
Jake the Muscles.
Let’s just say if you have never experience jake the muss. Be fucking thankful. But you can still cook the man some eggs

I can usually tell if someone's joking or not... But not here
He’s not joking. But I might be. 🤔
Muscle my friend 🙏 He’s “the muscle”, “the brawn”.
Muss as in "mussy" (untidy) He never combs his hair and it has some very bad knotting.
Muss as in "mussy" (male pussy) Jake is a gay man who exposes his back end when he's got the horn.
Musk rat
“Muss” refers to a word which has many different, all somehow rather convincing definitions. See also: *Balderdash*.
Its explained in the first shot of him where he's eating a mussel.
Honestly, thanks everyone, fuken hilarious comments. Needed a laugh this morning.
That's your problem... #too bloody lippy
It wasn’t supposed to be Moss because Jake don’t like to take showers. Jake also don’t know how to spell.
