Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Kelly Gang's armor weighed around 96 pounds each—Ledger trained for months to move believably in replica pieces.
Ned Kelly's 1880 Jerilderie Letter, demanding justice for Irish-Australians, is woven throughout—making this essentially a 19th-century manifesto with bullets.
