Superb documentary, 10 January 2009
9/10
Author: Neon-man from Australia

This documentary detailing the wave of Aussie exploitation (better known as Ozploitation) films through the 70s and 80s is not only made with such passion, excitement, complemented further so by the anecdotes and praise from the key players of the wave and their fans, but is criminally underrated. The film is always interesting, educational, inspiring, and choc-a-block full of tits, pubes, blood, gore, and the sexiest cars/car chases/car accidents you've ever seen. not only is this film so much fun, but it is the most important Australian film to come out this year because it gives the deserved praise to a wave of films that should've been treated better and in retrospect have been forgotten (until now. And some of the featured films in the doco are thankfully getting their first DVD releases). Thankfully, as the ending of the film details, Aussie film-makers are heading back to the days of Ozploitation and putting it in their movies, as seen in the likes of Wolf Creek, Saw, Undead, and Rogue. It's also great hearing these directors, producers, writers and actors alike talking about how much fun, dangerous, and crazy it was to make these sorts of films, and how it was never inspired by how much money could be made (however, money was made, and Ozploitation did have an audience, mainly in countries outside of Australia). This is an excellent, exciting, and informative documentary and is absolutely essential viewing for all aspiring film-makers. If this doesn't get a Best Documentary nom at the Oscars, I will be disappointed. I hope to see it on more "Top 10 in 08" lists, because it is certainly on mine.
