Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
Documentary on the Australian exploitation movies of the 70's and 80's. It was really in-depth, including interviews with a plethora of important people from the era. It starts off with the early sex films and gross-out comedies, then goes more into the horror and action genres.
Before going into this, the only films from this genre I was familiar with was the Mad Max series (Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior being one of the all-time faves). Really worth checking out if you're unfamiliar with this sort.
Thanks to this, I have a bunch of new films to add to my watchlist: Patrick, Road Games, Dead End Drive-In (which is on Netflix streaming :)), Razorback, The Howling 3: Marsupials (looks totally bonkers), Snapshot aka The Day After Halloween, and Next of Kin.
Really well done. Recommended. Four out of Five stars.
