Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPenultimate film shot featuring Australian actor Jon Blake. About a year later after this film's shoot had wrapped in December 1985, he was injured in a car accident near Nectar Brook, South Australia after shooting had wrapped on the last day of filming of The Lighthorsemen (1987), on 1st December 1986. Website 'Cinephilia' reports of the Jon Blake accident and legal case: "Jon Blake was critically injured whilst driving home on December 1, 1986, after the final day's filming of The Lighthorsemen (1987). He sustained severe brain injuries and in December, 1995, the New South Wales Supreme Court ruled that Blake should be compensated for the loss of potential earnings as a star in the United States. After taking evidence from actors, directors, and film critics who indicated his career could have been as big as Mel Gibson's, the court awarded him $32 million in damages. This was later reduced to $7 million after the defence appealed."

Featured review
Its good.
I remember the first time I came across this movie. My friend bought this as a video from the $1 bin when a local video store was closing down. I borrowed it off him and have enjoyed watching it ever since.
It shows some cheeky Aussie yobbo jingoism and wacky 80's Aussie comedy. The lead actor Jon Blake does well as the star of the movie and the rest of the cast play their parts well.
For Aussie car fans there are loads to see in this movie. From the GTHO, Charger, AC cobra and Jaguar race.
Probably the best thing of all is that it shows what Melbourne looked like nearly 20 years ago. If you are from Melbourne you'll understand that the place has changed. See if you can recognise the Palace in St Kilda.
Anyway, 10 might be way way to high for such a movie but I'd rather watch this instead of some crap film from Sydney.
