Why use words, when images can do all the talking. A brief love letter to Ozploitation – the low-budget Australian exploitation films made after the country’s introduction of an R rating in 1971.

Funny that it is possible to churn out a fantastic story from the images. Definitely a lovable love story.
‘Nuff said.
😉
You’ve seen the “Not Quite Hollywood” doco, right?
Of course 🙂
Thank God for that. No lover of Ozploitation can afford to be without it. 🙂 One of these days they’ll re-release “Next Of Kin” and “Frog Dreaming” (aka “The Go-Kids”) on DVD. And if they don’t, representations should be made to Canberra. 😉
Good stuff James; but call me old-fashioned, I thought your text was enough!
Regards from England, Pete.
I recently watched “Dead End Drive-In” for the first time (it’s on Netflix) because it’s one of those films that cinephiles reference frequently. I was pleased and surprised at how good it is as a film, it holds up very as a pointed economic fable. (And not at all what I expected from the cover art.)
Absolutely agree. It’s easily the most cohesive of all the Ozploitation films.
