"Came a Hot Friday" is a 1985 New Zealand made comedy film starring some of New Zealand's most well-known actors and comedians, based on the 1964 novel by Ronald Hugh Morrieson.

Plot

Set in rural New Zealand in 1949 two buddies, Wes Pennington (Peter Bland) and his pal Cyril (Philip Gordon) are out to ride a great horse-racing scam for as long as they can. They are inveterate gamblers who have joined forces to bilk local bookies by taking advantage of delayed broadcasts of horse races. To stop being caught the duo don't stay in each town for too long, but when they arrive in Tainui Junction, fate catches up with them. Through a series of unforeseen circumstances, Cyril and Wes get involved in uncovering a bootlegging ring, arson, murder, and other dastardly deeds. The townspeople are in a class of their own, including the Tainui Kid, a Half Maori man who believes himself to be a Mexican Bandito, (Played by Billy T. James) who becomes a kind of protector for the put-upon, gambling duo.
