      Stone: Yeah, I like the old Gravediggers. I'd be glad to see them any time.

      [the Gravediggers burst into Stone's apartment and beat him to a pulp]

    • Alternate versions
      The original Australian theatrical cut ran 132 minutes, but director Sandy Harbutt was unhappy with this version: due to the film's hastened post-production, he was unable to properly view it in its entirety, and deemed the finished result overlong. When optioned for video release by Roadshow Home Video, Harbutt requested that he re-cut the film so that it reflected his original vision. The original Australian video release (circa 1985) runs 98 minutes and carries a "Director Approved" message coupled with Harbutt's signature. It is this significantly shorter "Director's Cut", which saw a 1995 21st Anniversary re-release through Premium Films, that has remained in circulation since. The scenes exclusive to the theatrical version would not be made commercially available until they were presented as a special feature of Umbrella Entertainment's 2021 Blu-ray release of the film.

    Classic
    This film is a bit of a classic for Australians, particularly those of us in Sydney who remember the day the biker convoy scene was shot. Though the story is a little dated and corny after all these years, it's worth another look, if only for nostalgia value.
