SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
RavenGlamDVDCollector This is a must-have. I had a frantic years-long search for the DVD, and kept coming up against that Mamba movie, and of course, the Cindy Crawford offering, and believed this Australian movie to be a doomed quest. Was really relieved to have found it, and have joyfully re-watched it since January 2011.One of the prettiest heroines on film. There is absolutely no denying this. People, I am RavenGlamDVDCollector of ElectricLadyLand, I know what I an talking about. And like that other reviewer pointed out, a heroine that you want to root for. She loves animals, and is only trying to protect the kangaroos from further harm. I disagree with other reviewers claiming that she incites the violence. She is vulnerable and alone, a pretty target, who speaks her mind, and the moment they notice her, trouble's in the air. Good thing the baddies aren't just cardboard characters, they are indeed 'good ol' boys' who, testosterone-driven, go past points of no return.Cassandra gets top score for this one from the #1 FAIR GAME fan on the African continent.Story concerns Jessica defending the wildlife preserve against kangaroo poachers. Yes, in real life, be advised to stay totally clear of confrontations with obvious rough-and-tumble types, but she just made it clear to them that they were the hell not welcome to slaughter more kangaroos. Leading to a well-filmed car chase scene, with that Beast truck the other star of this movie. And a gory kangaroo carcass stuck inside her pick-up. A nude shot of her taken by the intruders. Harassing building up to a crescendo. Everything dear to her is destroyed, and defiled, including herself, after she is trophy-ridden half-naked draped over the crash-guard of the truck. Yes, the rape is inferred, but clearly took place. After that she fights back, a one- girl assault team, and exacts full revenge. Summed up this way, it sounds scant, but the movie has to be seen. The Australian outback, the girl on her horse, that nasty 'red-eyed' nightmarish Beast truck that has a life of its own, the even nastier men and their disregard for life...If you like pretty girls on film, this one's for you. Be warned that it is not for the faint-hearted.
lost-in-limbo This mid-eighties thriller is a skimpy, but surely entertaining and crazy Australian b-grade exploitation attempt at the revenge sub-genre. A young woman takes on some restless kangaroo poachers who go onto make her life hell, when she confronts them about killing animals on her wildlife sanctuary. It's a lot better than you're led to believe. A cat (well there's three of them) and mouse game evolves, as they simply go tit for tat (no one is desperate to back down) in humiliating, terrorising and finally gaining sweet vengeance. The savage violence isn't particularly extreme, as it has a comic book tone to it, but it's mean-spirited and gustily dished-up. From the get-go you can tell it's going to be thrilling, exciting and blistering as it gets straight in to it and never adjusts otherwise. The suspense holds up and the adrenaline kick gets the heart-pounding in many knuckle-busting sequences (the memorable trophy truck ride). Andrew Lesnie sharply photographs the colourfully rugged Australian landscape and wildlife, but it's the moody nightlife cinematography that adds the atmospheric dynamics. Cassandra Delaney (who looks lovely and spends the quite bit time in the flesh) brings a genuine grittiness and sympathetic side to a strong, capable character. The boneheaded, cruel poachers are eccentrically portrayed by Peter Ford, David Sandford and Gary Who. From this inclusion, the gigantic killer pig feature 'Razorback (1984)' comes to mind. Dominating a lot the scenes would be that of Ashley Irwin's uncanny live-wire and throbbing music score. Sometimes uncalled for, but always palatable. Director Mario Andreacchio makes good of the psychical set-pieces and locations. While writer Rob George's material is fundamental, he still strikes up a dependable script that never resorts to camping it up. An agreeable revenge item.
gall34 Weak plot but great showcase for Cassandra Delaney. Also interesting Outback scenery and action. I enjoyed the rural Australian scenery; that was interesting to me; the remoteness helped give some credibility to the lawless villains. The setting was different and remote, giving some credibility to the lawlessness of the villains. A lot of the action was unique and haunting. The plot grew more and more predictable but I didn't mind. The plot seemed designed to showcase Cassandra's charms and, I confess, she won me over! Unfortunately, Casasandra later married John Denver in real life and turned to music...meaning she was only in about 5 movies. Too bad. I would go to a movie just to see her.
Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*One thing you can say about this movie, the video box didn't lie. That's very important to me after so many heartbreaks. It promises you a naked woman tied to the hood of a car and that's exactly what you get. Three kangaroo hunters decide to pick on a woman who lives by herself. She's all alone on her wildlife preserve, they're three fun loving hunters...you know where this is going. Their pranks escalate until we get the female hood ornament scene.About that scene, loved it. Another classic B-movie moment. It's the perfect turning point to turn her from farm girl to vengeance minded assassin. She does not disappoint. While the movie is not overly bloody or brutal, it has a cool B-movie vibe going on that suits it well. Morons humiliate her, she strikes back and so on and so on until the bloody end. I liked it.
