Totally agree with Philleh, brilliant remake!
This weekend I watched some Ozploitation (if you can actually call them that as they were all so tame):
The Adventures of Barry McKenzie - It was funny but it got a little slow and boring mid way through. Was all a bit random but still a fun watch. Had
the most accurate portrayal of England I have ever seen.
The Naked Bunyip - Started off quite funny but slowly got oh so boring. I started wondering when it was going to end only to find I was only 50 minutes into the film and it goes on for 2 hours and 20 minutes. I switched it off but doubt I missed anything interesting. Or did I?
Turkey Shoot aka Blood Camp Thatcher - This was nowhere near as rude or violent or gory as I was expecting, how this was banned is beyond me. It wasn't a bad film though, I can see why it has it's cult status although it wasn't received well in Australia itself. (mmmmm Olivia Hussey *drool*) Sorry where was I? Oh yes so overall it was good fun, I had to take it with my tongue firmly in my cheek but was definitely worth the watch.
Roadgames - Now I watched this thinking it was going to be some nasty little serious chase thriller but it turned out to be a non graphic thriller/comedy. This was a surprise but definitely a pleasant one. I really enjoyed this film. I really liked the characters and the plot, it had it's serious thriller elements but they were interlaced with some humour so an enjoyable watch indeed. The best of the 4 over the weekend.
I've yet to watch Night of Fear and loads of other Ozploitation so I'll report back when I do but let's hope the supposed "most controversial film Australia has made" doesn't disappoint
