Pity Ozploitation was never embraced in Oz by Happyfat73	Sep 5th, 2008 12:25:57 AM
I mean, apart from the first 2 Mad Max films, which are so popular as to be an anomaly in the genre anyway. We could still be making great genre films. Alas, the Australian film industry is dominated by pretentious arthouse wankers intent on making boring naval gazing pieces of shit that no one wants to watch. There is a backlash in the wind, though, so hopefully the remake of "Razorback" that I'd love to get off the ground might be feasible.
This is a fantastic documentary by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Sep 5th, 2008 12:34:57 AM
Your gonna flip Harry.
Happyfat73, Razorback was fucking awesome! by Talkbacker with no name	Sep 5th, 2008 01:07:37 AM
I'm surprised by the amount of aussies i meet here in london who have never heard of it. Yeah I think the tide is about to turn. The kiwi's have been kicking your arse a bit recently. Saying that you have given the world in recent times Alex Proyas and Andrew Dominik!
Road Warrior is an absolute Classic by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:20:18 AM
I can't describe how much I love that film.
Looks like TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION!!! by Motoko Kusanagi	Sep 5th, 2008 01:25:00 AM
Gawd, I love ROAD WARRIOR. Btw, looks like a great documentary.
Don't fucking remake Razorback! by Sherlock Holmes II	Sep 5th, 2008 01:30:56 AM
Is that you Jamie Blanks, you fat cunt. Find something original to do for crying out fucking loud. Atleast those arthouse movies you scorn aren't miserable fucking remakes!!
Doomsday was waaaay better than Road Warrior by RexGattling	Sep 5th, 2008 01:32:46 AM

Razorback will be remade by Happyfat73	Sep 5th, 2008 01:59:05 AM
Mark my words. Although I probably just gave some other unoriginal prick the idea to get it done before I can.

No Poofters by Ladonite	Sep 5th, 2008 02:45:57 AM
Not because its homophobic, but because its a funny classification. This is actually playing next week at my favorite cinema, already intended on checking it out. I've seen most of the films it discusses, Man from Hong Kong, Death Camp Thatcher, Mad Max, etc. Good stuff.
My world just called by macheesmo3	Sep 5th, 2008 02:50:04 AM
it said it had been rocked !
Turkey Shoot is utter shit by dogstardude	Sep 5th, 2008 03:37:46 AM
It's one of the worst films ever conceived. I'm embarrassed that it came out of my country. The Man From Hong Kong is great, they should totally do "Next of Kin" or "Patrick" as well. Great ozploitation classics!
The best time in a cinema you will have this year by fabiodeniro	Sep 5th, 2008 06:41:06 AM
I've seen Not Quite Hollywood twice. It gets better on the second viewing. It's that good. Technically, the film is brilliant. Sounds and looks wonderful (they restored many of the jawdropping genre clips from the masters). Razor sharp editing. Great soundtrack. Full of fascinating filmmaking anecdotes. It's a flick for geeks like us. Not Quite Hollywood is a lot like the movies it depicts.. sleazy, violent, dangerous and all about giving the audience a good time. There is more (top and bottom shelf) nudity in the first 20 minutes of this film than Lemon Popsicle 1 through to 4. It heavily features Tarantino at his geekfrenzy, manic best. If any hater wants to debate why the world would be a better place without QT I'm all ears. This flick has pretty much bombed in Australia. Please see it. You'll thank me later. And if you think I'm a plant, think again. I'm making a doco on the Australian film industry. Nothing But The Struth. Not Quite Hollywood is the best Australian film of the year. It won't change your life, it's just pure entertainment.
We Can't Be Beaten by BBSloth	Sep 5th, 2008 07:17:06 AM
Good to hear some Rose Tattoo being used
its tanking? I didn't realise it was out yet here in Australia by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 07:24:21 AM
they should actually, oh, I don't know, advertise it.
they promoted the hell out of it ironic_name by fabiodeniro	Sep 5th, 2008 09:49:42 AM
wake up
a few reviews in some bullshit mag like empire isn't promoting i by ironic_name	Sep 5th, 2008 03:08:04 PM
having an ad on at, say 8:30 with the tits edited out might actually let people know its on. I am awake. thats how I'm writing this, professor.
Think about it/do your homework ironic_name by fabiodeniro	Sep 6th, 2008 12:02:26 AM
They didn't have the marketing budget for tv spots. Madman got great press and Hartley worked his ass off doing interviews and Q&As with the audience all across Australia. The website and trailer are excellent. And most of all, it's a great film that is the cinematic equivalent of a Christina Ricci titty fuck. Well received by critics, it deserves to do well at the box office, but sparing that, it will make a killing on dvd (which I'm told will be packed with extras). If you believe in the spirit of AICN, this flick will be on constant rotation on your dvd player.
