Director Paul Goldman's 'Director's Statement' for the film reads: "Australian Rules tells the story of a young white boy growing up in a small coastal town in Australia. It's about all the kinds of courage it takes to grow up in a country that still refuses to. It's about taking a stand, about the responsibilities of manhood and nationhood. It's about relationships: between fathers and sons, mothers and sons, husbands and wives, blackfellas and whitefellas. It's also about the courage it takes to love. I wanted to make a film that talked back to this big, secret country that we live in."
The nick-name of Gary Black (Nathan Phillip) was '"Blacky" whilst the nick-name of Mr. Robertson (Kevin Harrington) was "Arks".
This film was financed with the participation of Palace Films and Istituto Luce. Beyond Films Limited handled international sales.
This film was produced with the assistance of the SBS Independent, the Australian Film Finance Corporation, Showtime Australia, the South Australian Film Corporation, and the Adelaide Festival of Arts 2002.
Work on the screenplay for this movie began even before its source novel it is based on was published. Paul Goldman, already good friends with the author and soon-to-be co-screenwriter Phillip Gwynne, read the manuscript and felt immediately that the book, titled 'Deadly, Unna?', had legs as a film.
"Gary 'Blacky' Black: Old man's Fruit and Nut? Liz Black: Old man's Fruit and f***ing nut"
"Gary 'Blacky' Black: Aw come on who is the lucky lady this week... Aw Kylie! No Way! Dumby Red: Come on Blacky! Gary 'Blacky' Black: No No No. I Can't! Dumby Red: Aw, why? Gary 'Blacky' Black: She's Special to me Dumby!"
