Once Were Warriors is fucking hilarious, but it is a fully New Zealand made and funded film. Basically Lee Tamahori was just some NZ'er who saw a shitload of cash over in Hollywood (well more than he could make in NZ anyway) so that explains the shitty movies, I guess he directs whatever he's asked to. 'Next' was actually pretty decent though. I used to work with his nephew (someone called Jesse Tamahori) which goes to show how much of a fucking village New Zealand is
