Ian and David get strapped to the hood of an Outback death machine–all in the name of reviewing Mario Andreacchio’s 1986 cult film, FAIR GAME!
Cassandra Delaney stars as the proprietor of a remote Australian animal preserve who runs afoul of three randy and ill-tempered kangaroo poachers. Can she survive a bloody night of terror, torture, and totally unnecessary animal cruelty?
More importantly, can your intrepid critics stay awake long enough to see what all the fuss is about?
Lucky you, the answer is “yes”–but just barely.
To ease the heartache of watching that rare and unholy oddity known as the “boring exploitation” movie, the guys also review Mark Hartley’s superb and truly out-there 2008 documentary, NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD, which tracks the rise and fall of Australia’s exploitation boom!
Watch as Ian and David break down what doesn’t work about FAIR GAME; why it may have developed a following despite its not being very good; and what we can learn about bad genre films by watching great ones!
FAIR GAME (1986) is now available On Demand from Dark Sky Pictures.
NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is now available on Amazon Prime.
