Nazi skinheads in Melbourne take out their anger on local Vietnamese, who are seen as threatening racial purity.

A woman who is prone to epileptic seizures joins the skins' merry band, and helps them on their run from justice, but is her affliction also a sign of impurity?

Many (many) years ago I had an "agree to disagree" discussion with a co-worker about whether Romper Stomper was a good movie or not.
She couldn't get past the ugliness of the content to see that it was 'a good movie' about bad things / people / situations.
Alien 3 is also one of those, I think. I love it, but it's dark and dreary and hopeless - in fact, because of that.
The movie Romper Stomper [1] shows accurately how someone can get sucked into violence.
