* PropagandaMachine: No Quarter is a right-wing TV program which constantly advocates anti-immigration and Islamophobia with slanted, biased means covered by false "balance" to lure opponents in, when the host Jago Zoric is far from a neutral host or moderator when they get there for a debate. He gives cover to even more openly far-right groups, who he is shown as in bed with (and they use violence).
* RoleReprisal: Jacqueline [=McKenzie=] is Gabrielle once again, who's now risen to a corporate medical job, though her son is a Neo-Nazi thug like she had once been with. Dan Wyllie (Vic/Cackles) is back, and still a Neo-Nazi thug, but working with those who present a more "clean cut" look. John Brumpton reappears as Magoo. who's now become a survivalist type living in a shack far out in the wilderness where he has tons of weapons along with far-right paraphernalia. However, he still works with other far-rightists (Vic included).

In 2018, a series set 25 years after the events in the film called ''Romper Stomper'' aired on the streaming service Stan, with Jacqueline [=McKenzie=] as Gabrielle once again.

''Romper Stomper'' is an interesting look at the skinhead culture of Australia. Hando and Davey are best friends, having a great time hanging with their Neo-Nazi pals and beating up on members of the local Vietnamese population. Things go awry when they meet Gabrielle, a junkie with a dark past. The woman drives a wedge between the two men that is only deepened when their gang dissolves, leading to a final confrontation.

* ThoseWackyNazis: The skinhead gang is very explicitely of the Neo-Nazi Davey and Gabrielle aren't as bad as the others, but they do nothing heroic.
* ZergRush: Just about every Vietnamese man in Footscray swarms the skinhead gang, overwhelming them and sending them scurring across the entire city as they're picked off one by one.

* UsefulNotes/{{Melbourne}}: The film was set and filmed there, but the chosen locations are more obscure than most films that's true of.

The film received high critical acclaim in Australia and features an award-winning performance by a young Creator/RussellCrowe.
