was filmed at the Australian Army's Jungle Warfare Training Centre in Canungra, Queensland. Other scenes were filmed at the Anzac Rifle Range in Malabar, Sydney. All Australian soldiers - including draftees - who were to be deployed to Vietnam went through four weeks' specialised training in Canungra. The Boeing 707 departure scene was filmed at the rear of Hangar 131 at the Qantas Jet Base at Sydney Airport. Reception The Odd Angry Shot grossed $866,000 at the box office in Australia, which is equivalent to $4.25 million in 2018 dollars. Tom Jeffrey: When it came out, it wasn't well received by some reviewers because they felt we should have been critical of Australia's participation in the Vietnam War, that we didn't show much of the other side - we didn't show Vietnamese people being killed with napalm bombs and all that sort of stuff. Well, my answer to them at the time was that it wasn't that kind of film. Our intention was to show how the men survived in that environment. According to Jeffrey the film made a profit.
