Defined in the glossary: Ozploitation, Biker
Australia's outlaw-biker scripture. Mad Max drank from this tank.
The only film Sandy Harbutt ever made, and Australia's foundational outlaw-biker picture. After a club member witnesses a political assassination, someone starts picking the riders off, so a cop goes undercover in the Gravediggers to find out who. Harbutt cast and consulted real bikies, and it shows in the funeral run, a highway procession of hundreds of bikes that no budget could have bought. It became a cult object at home, screened and re-screened for decades while its maker never directed again. The leather, the chrome and the sunbaked-road fatalism fed straight into Mad Max a few years later. Rough around every edge and held together by pure mood.

The cycle in depth
- Ozploitation: the Australian genre boom, 1971 to 1986
An adults-only certificate, a tax loophole, and a Melbourne doctor who knew what happens to bodies at speed. Australia's fifteen years of cheap, mean, brilliant genre film.
- Wake in Fright is not an exploitation film
It was lost for thirty years, found in a bin marked 'for destruction', and it is the best thing on this site.
Filed alongside
Patrick
A man in a coma does telekinesis. Better than that sentence implies.
Long Weekend
A couple litter, and Australia decides to kill them. Excellent.
The Born Losers
The first Billy Jack film, and much nastier than the sequels.
Angels Hard as They Come
Jonathan Demme's first script, produced by Corman. Rashomon on bikes.
Dead End Drive-In
A drive-in turned into an internment camp. The satire is not subtle.
Fair Game
A woman alone at an outback wildlife reserve is hunted by three kangaroo poachers. Lean and nasty.
Thirst
A secret society farms humans for blood. Ozploitation does vampires as corporate agribusiness.
The Man from Hong Kong
Jimmy Wang Yu wrecks Sydney, with hang-gliding and a man actually on fire. Peak crossover.
Razorback
A giant pig film shot like a perfume ad. Somehow works.
The Cars That Ate Paris
Peter Weir's debut. A town that farms car crashes. Very strange.
Road Games
Rear Window in a truck, with Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Turkey Shoot
The budget vanished mid-shoot and they kept going. Chaotic, mean, fun.
