Not to be mistaken for a mockumentary, documentarian Zoe McIntosh follows the lives of "bestest" mates Clint and Dwayne - the extremely quotable members of the two-member Deadly Ponies Gang who trawl the edges of rural West Auckland on their pimped-out rides (i.e. steeds decorated with glitter, beads and sunglasses).
Not short of a suave move with the ladies, Clint worries that Dwayne’s not pulling the way he once did - most likely because he has no teeth ("I'm less of a man without the teeth"). So Dwayne organises a gig to fundraise for a new set, the "Help My Mate Dwayne Get Some Teeth Fundraising Gig". Along with some drug deals to supplement their income, the pair go in search of a life of hustling, riding and partying.

"Zoe McIntosh's not-quite-mockumentary The Deadly Ponies Gang is a good-natured lark, a chance to goof off with some uniquely Kiwi characters, but too slight to linger in the memory for long. Clint Rarm and Dwayne Sisson play exaggerated versions of themselves, the sole members of the titular gang, selling weed in West Auckland and using their pony to strike up conversation with any babes who might be at the local beach."
