COMMUNITY RATING




The same cultural explosion that gave birth to Australian art classics Picnic at Hanging Rock and My Brilliant Career spawned a group of demon-children: maverick filmmakers who thumbed their noses at authority, made their own rules and in the process unleashed films such as Stork, The Adventures of Barry McKenzie, Alvin Purple, Stone, The Man from Hong Kong, Patrick and Mad Max. Across the globe, audiences applauded Aussie brutes with white line fever, well-stacked heroines and stunts unparalleled in their quality and extreme danger. NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is the first detailed examination and celebration of the Australian genre films of the 70’s and early 80’s and the undervalued auteurs and actors who brought them to life in such an explosive way.
