    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After the release of the film, Russell Mulcahy received a surprise phone call from Steven Spielberg who was curious on how he achieved some of the effects in the dream sequence such as the shot of the two moons.
    • Goofs
      The car Beth is driving is a Ford. It has the brand tag in the front of the car in some scenes and then in other scenes, the brand tag isn't there.
    • Quotes

      Jake Cullen: [to Beth] There's something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day.

    • Alternate versions
      The original Australian version of the film was edited down to secure a more commercial M rating (known as the "theatrical version") by removing 4 scenes of graphic violence. The cut scenes included footage of explicit gore and blood-spurts in the death of 3 of the characters plus the final killing of the razorback itself. The UK Anchor Bay and Australian Umbrella releases contain the theatrical version, though the 4 deleted scenes are available as extras on the Australian DVD.

    The epitome of B
    Feels like your standard, worthwhile B-movie with enough Australian flair to make it stand out a bit more. There are some moments that make this feel like a larger scale project but then the elements of cheapness drag it right back down and keep it in that realm. The weakest part of the film was without a doubt the lead actor - almost entirely wooden, very hard to enjoy his performance. Everyone else in the film was great! The older Aussie who the film starts with probably gives the strongest performance in the film - he's so intense and animated! It's great! There are some pretty good cues on the score, and some really beautiful landscapes and environments, but in the end there's just not too much memorable about this flick other than some really cool shots of a giant pig breaking through walls and windows. Well, and those freaky, Johnny Rotten looking dudes...
