Review of Dead End Drive-In (1986) by J.b. R — 24 Jun 2012
Pitch-perfect Ozploitation film from the master BTS coming on the heels of his kid's classic BMX Bandits. This film has everything: post-apocalyptic landscape, cars, tits, great action sequences, and a punk rock ethos.
The acting is solid (especially a great turn by Peter Whitford as the drive-in owner). Like Romero, Trenchard-Smith always finds a way to layer smart sociopolitical commentary into his entertainment and this film is a perfect example.
A true masterpiece of Australian new-wave film-making.
