ABSTRACT Chopper Read was a larger-than-life Australian convict with a knack for writing and a gift for self-promotion, penning his autobiography from behind bars and releasing it to commercial success. Chopper presents viewers with a dramatized account of Read's peculiar rise to stardom, touching on a stabbing at the hands of an incarcerated childhood friend, an infamous incident in which he agreed to have his ears sliced off by a fellow inmate to earn a transfer out of his prison's "H Division", and a claim that he "never killed anyone that didn't deserve it".
