Defined in the glossary: Ozploitation, Carsploitation
No plot. A stuntman and a prog band. Exists purely so Grant Page can work.
There is no plot, and that is the entire concept. A stuntman comes to Hollywood, befriends a theatrical prog-rock band, and the film exists solely to string together his real, astonishing stunts and their pyrotechnic concerts. It is a documentary about spectacle pretending to be a movie.
Grant Page, the Ozploitation era's central stuntman, performs dangerous feats with no digital safety net, and the film is a pure monument to physical daring. Narrative-wise it barely functions and does not care.
A gloriously stupid celebration of people risking their lives for your entertainment.

Written about
- 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.
The cycle in depth
- 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
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.
Mad Max 2
The template the whole Italian post-nuke cycle copied for a decade.
Mad Max
Made for nothing on public roads. You can feel every dollar missing.
Alvin Purple
The sex comedy that funded the entire boom. Historically important, hard going.
Next of Kin
A slow-burn gothic in a nursing home. Much better than its obscurity suggests.
Snapshot
A young model is stalked after a nude shoot. A slow-burn Australian thriller with a real sense of dread.
Turkey Shoot
The budget vanished mid-shoot and they kept going. Chaotic, mean, fun.
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.
Dead End Drive-In
A drive-in turned into an internment camp. The satire is not subtle.
Long Weekend
A couple litter, and Australia decides to kill them. Excellent.
