" “There’s a helluva lot more action and crashes just in the trailer for MIDNITE SPARES than there is in the first two FAST AND FURIOUS movies put together!”- Quentin Tarantino
Strap yourself in and hold on tight as Umbrella Entertainment proudly presents the world premiere Blu-ray release of this car-crunching Ozploitation classic – newly remastered in 4k from the original vault materials.
They didn’t get angry… they got even.
Set against a background of high-risk sprintcar driving, MIDNIGHT SPARES tells the action-packed story of a motley team of grease monkeys and speedway freaks who take on a massive car stealing and stripping racket in the west of Sydney.They quickly discover that they’re not only battling a tough and highly organised auto crime cartel – but also the bent cops who protect them.
Packed with jaw-dropping crashes and smashes, bitumen-burning chases and adrenaline-pumping speedway action, MIDNITE SPARES features scene-stealing performances from Ozploitation superstars Bruce Spence and David Argue, alongside Gia Carides (in her film debut) and spunky Amanda Dole (1983 Playmate of the Year)."

Great absolutely love this film, rewatched it earlier this year, I’m pretty sure this is the only transfer over from vhs, an under rated gem.
