Let us know what you think Vamp......I've loved this film since renting it on the old Guild VHS many lightyears ago!

To see it uncut was a treat....to see it uncut in HD would be an even bigger treat!

Which talented member can knock us up a BD cover using the below fantastic artwork?

It just so happens I watched it today, and yeah I enjoyed it.I'd say it was one of the more endearing exploitation flicks to have come out of Oz.I especially liked 'Alph', the weird looking hairy bloke with a taste for toes! There's some pretty juicy gore in there as well amongst all the explosions, shoot-outs and corny dialogue.Lynda Stoner and Olivia Hussey were nice to look at as well.Definitely a fun film imo.

The cuts were excessive considering Michael Craig's splattery demise was left intact even in the old butchered Guild release I owned (Paid £22.00 for new at the time !).It's not a good film by any means but it's never boring & the mk-up effects are well done.It was quite a revelation watching the uncut Australian video (On bootleg) for the first time.

True and while there's other Aussie efforts i prefer to TS the film still merits a watch. I've got the Optimum, ABUS and AWE DVDs. Yours truly did own the Hardgore and Vipco releases too but gave 'em away once the above superior editions came along.

I keep meaning to give this another try. But I am reluctant to buy it as I really did not rate it on previous viewings.

When Brian Trenchard Smith is capable of a film of the quality of Dead End Drive In, Turkey Shoot just looks like a load of old cack, I'm afraid.

Turkey Shoot is a load of old cack, that's what makes it so much fun imo.
