In the late 70s and early 80s, films like MY BRILLIANT CAREER and BREAKER MORANT put Australia’s ‘New Wave’ on the map. But at the same time, a depraved generation of young Aussie filmmakers was putting a very different kind of movie on screens. This is the ultimate collection of Ozploitation trailers, packed with ockers, knockers, pubes, tubes, comatose killers, outback chillers, high-octane disasters and kung fu masters, featuring such classics as: ALVIN PURPLE, PATRICK, WAKE IN FRIGHT, MAD DOG MORGAN, BARRY McKENZIE HOLDS HIS OWN, STUNT ROCK, STONE, FANTASM, ROAD GAMES, DEAD KIDS, FELICITY, TURKEY SHOOT, THIRST, BMX BANDITS, THE MAN FROM HONG KONG, DEAD END DRIVE-IN …and many more!
When you are a hardcore movie buff it is hard to put into words the joy you can have by simple watching old trailers. Here, we have a total of 65 of them. You watch just the horror, the action, or the sex in separate groups, but if you’d rather just sit tight and watch them all come at you together in a mix you can do that as well. Many of these trailers are for movie I have done reviews for already. There were still many that I haven’t heard of and something like this is best used as a tool to open you up to new stuff. Only here in this release all these films were ozzie films in some way or another.
If are to be honest with you, this isn’t something that everyone will love or even like. There isn’t a lot of people out there that will enjoy a disc of trailers, but there are just enough that many releases like this have done very well over the years, one namely being 42nd Street Forever. So, if you dig that you should dig this. If trailer and after trailer isn’t your thing, then you might find yourself lost on this release.
