1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:03,435
It is a pleasure to welcome you
to your friendly drive-in.

2
00:00:03,468 --> 00:00:07,210
Our ultra-modern snack bar
It is open and ready to serve.

3
00:00:07,244 --> 00:00:10,277
How about a hamburger
thick and crunchy?

4
00:00:10,316 --> 00:00:12,388
 �French fries or fried fish
with potatoes?

5
00:00:12,428 --> 00:00:14,184
 �A lemonade
or frozen orangeade?

6
00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:15,812
Soft and creamy ice cream?

7
00:00:15,851 --> 00:00:18,885
Or giant sausages
with sauce or mustard?

8
00:00:18,923 --> 00:00:20,265
And now...
the function begins

9
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:22,885
Thank you. We hope they pass
a very pleasant evening.

10
00:00:25,131 --> 00:00:28,961
There was a certain flavor
in the Australian farm...

11
00:00:29,003 --> 00:00:31,043
...I say it
"Australian exploitation."

12
00:00:31,083 --> 00:00:32,807
Weird, wonderful movies...

13
00:00:32,843 --> 00:00:34,185
...really rare.

14
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:36,391
Extremely dirty.

15
00:00:37,356 --> 00:00:38,730
Very fast...

16
00:00:38,764 --> 00:00:40,291
...and cheap.

17
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:41,510
Urban vulgarity.

18
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:45,129
- Foul language.
- Play that, you rotten English bastard.

19
00:00:45,163 --> 00:00:46,445
Something is going to explode.

20
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:49,194
Sexual suggestivity.

21
00:00:49,227 --> 00:00:51,115
The Australian boys...

22
00:00:51,147 --> 00:00:52,773
...terrorizing people.

23
00:00:52,811 --> 00:00:54,535
Murder, rape and destruction.

24
00:00:56,075 --> 00:00:57,253
Mysteries...

25
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:58,501
...scary.

26
00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:00,362
Slice, cut and kill.

27
00:01:01,004 --> 00:01:02,662
Bad publicity for Australia.

28
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:06,369
Most Australian films
gender...

29
00:01:06,412 --> 00:01:10,635
...were released in the US through
of specialized cinemas...

30
00:01:10,668 --> 00:01:13,636
...and this coincided with the great boom
Australian...

31
00:01:13,676 --> 00:01:16,774
...the great Australian new wave that
emerged with "My Brilliant Career"...

32
00:01:16,811 --> 00:01:19,462
..."Acquiring Wisdom", "Advice
of War" and all those movies.

33
00:01:19,499 --> 00:01:23,045
When those movies came out,
They were talking about the new Australian cinema.

34
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,123
"Australian cinema, Australian cinema."

35
00:01:25,164 --> 00:01:27,400
That was the key word.
for independent cinema.

36
00:01:27,436 --> 00:01:30,185
But it was not like that with the films
gender Australians.

37
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:33,897
I didn't know they were until I was
in my armchair and listen to them.

38
00:01:33,931 --> 00:01:37,641
Come on, shoot me.
You already killed the kangaroo.

39
00:01:37,676 --> 00:01:38,853
Shoot me.

40
00:01:39,659 --> 00:01:44,582
SIDE NOTES
presents...

41
00:02:47,147 --> 00:02:51,816
IT IS NOT, PRECISELY,
HOLLYWOOD...

42
00:02:51,851 --> 00:02:56,324
The crazy story never told
of the Ausisplotation.

43
00:02:56,907 --> 00:02:58,631
People don't know anything
from Australia...

44
00:02:58,667 --> 00:03:01,351
...except what appears
in travel brochures...

45
00:03:01,387 --> 00:03:05,129
...which really does not induce
people to come to Australia...

46
00:03:05,164 --> 00:03:09,801
...because there are not many in the world
interested in kangaroos and koalas.

47
00:03:09,836 --> 00:03:11,592
In the late '60s
and early '70s...

48
00:03:11,628 --> 00:03:14,791
...there was a seismic cultural movement
and politician in Australia.

49
00:03:14,826 --> 00:03:19,104
People didn't want to be controlled
by governments and the status quo.

50
00:03:19,147 --> 00:03:21,220
The whole world is
in a desperate situation...

51
00:03:21,259 --> 00:03:23,528
...and we can't afford more
stay without doing anything.

52
00:03:23,563 --> 00:03:26,912
Feminism was beginning to fracture
the relationships between man and woman.

53
00:03:26,955 --> 00:03:28,100
THE FEMALE EUNUCH
Germaine Greer writes:

54
00:03:28,139 --> 00:03:29,666
"Women must seek
a revolution".

55
00:03:29,707 --> 00:03:31,562
There was a lot of opposition
to war.

56
00:03:31,595 --> 00:03:33,831
It was incredible to live
in a society...

57
00:03:33,867 --> 00:03:36,682
...where they recruited by lottery.

58
00:03:36,715 --> 00:03:38,919
We were involved
in the moratorium.

59
00:03:38,956 --> 00:03:42,435
- Apartheid.
- We defended abortion.

60
00:03:42,475 --> 00:03:44,864
- Nuclear disarmament.
- We felt like we were part...

61
00:03:44,907 --> 00:03:46,914
...of a rebellion that was beginning
all over the world.

62
00:03:46,954 --> 00:03:49,158
We had the idea...

63
00:03:49,195 --> 00:03:51,464
...that we could change everything.

64
00:03:51,499 --> 00:03:54,631
And you could do it at the same time
that you took a lot of drugs.

65
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:58,344
There was a young aristocracy
who dominated the situation...

66
00:03:58,379 --> 00:04:01,226
...and preferred fornication
and the hallucination...

67
00:04:01,259 --> 00:04:04,325
...to the previous situation.

68
00:04:04,363 --> 00:04:06,469
If you weren't crazy,
You were not modern.

69
00:04:06,507 --> 00:04:07,969
There was tremendous energy...

70
00:04:08,012 --> 00:04:10,433
...which was usually
transferred to the arts.

71
00:04:10,476 --> 00:04:11,904
I never believed that Australia
was a place...

72
00:04:11,947 --> 00:04:14,532
...that needed culture
of no description...

73
00:04:14,571 --> 00:04:16,262
...but we feel
that we should have it...

74
00:04:16,299 --> 00:04:19,169
...just like the opera,
something to put on the stamps.

75
00:04:19,211 --> 00:04:21,960
And of course
slowly it began to grow.

76
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:24,068
In reality, it only grows
in things that rot...

77
00:04:24,107 --> 00:04:26,889
...because culture is,
after all, cheese, right?

78
00:04:26,923 --> 00:04:28,199
Or yogurt.

79
00:04:28,428 --> 00:04:29,518
LOCAL PRODUCTION:

80
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,129
Not inspired - Barely existing
Pathetic

81
00:04:33,163 --> 00:04:36,676
Today there is no industry
cinema in this country.

82
00:04:36,716 --> 00:04:39,912
We are on par with Ecuador and Iceland
that, like us...

83
00:04:39,948 --> 00:04:42,249
...are among the greats
not filmmakers.

84
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,355
But there are signs that
we could have found...

85
00:04:44,395 --> 00:04:45,737
...to our sleeper
film industry.

86
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:49,349
The great cinematic silence
in Australia...

87
00:04:49,387 --> 00:04:52,551
...was occasionally broken
by an international team...

88
00:04:52,586 --> 00:04:55,521
...what I was trying to do
an Australian film.

89
00:04:55,563 --> 00:04:58,662
Ted Kotcheff made a call
"Waking up in Hell."

90
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:00,740
This is John Grant...

91
00:05:00,779 --> 00:05:03,910
...a young master,
handsome and intelligent.

92
00:05:03,948 --> 00:05:06,119
This is John Grant...

93
00:05:06,155 --> 00:05:09,003
...an ugly, sweaty animal
and desperate.

94
00:05:09,036 --> 00:05:10,922
What happened to John Grant?

95
00:05:10,955 --> 00:05:14,250
The desert happened to him
to John Grant.

96
00:05:14,283 --> 00:05:17,000
It was a nightmare
it developed slowly with drink...

97
00:05:17,035 --> 00:05:19,457
...fights, shootings
and kangaroo hunting.

98
00:05:20,426 --> 00:05:21,953
The Australians of that time...

99
00:05:21,994 --> 00:05:23,587
...they didn't want to see it
like Australia.

100
00:05:23,627 --> 00:05:25,602
The people were leaving,
saying: "We are not like that.

101
00:05:25,643 --> 00:05:27,366
we don't behave
that way."

102
00:05:27,403 --> 00:05:29,443
As a foreigner,
one sees things...

103
00:05:29,483 --> 00:05:31,239
...than the Australians
they take it for granted...

104
00:05:31,275 --> 00:05:33,545
...or accept as part
of daily life.

105
00:05:33,579 --> 00:05:37,191
They don't notice the eccentricity
or idiosyncratic of their lives.

106
00:05:37,227 --> 00:05:38,504
So that we don't forget.

107
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:39,968
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

108
00:05:40,012 --> 00:05:43,109
He knew the effect
that the border has...

109
00:05:43,147 --> 00:05:46,376
...in whom they are seen
as civilized Europeans.

110
00:05:46,410 --> 00:05:48,549
If it had not been
for these invaders...

111
00:05:48,587 --> 00:05:50,627
...they told us how
we saw each other...

112
00:05:50,667 --> 00:05:52,325
...or about our landscapes...

113
00:05:52,362 --> 00:05:54,664
...our cultural anonymity
it would have been absolute.

114
00:05:54,699 --> 00:05:56,935
What they supplied
It was the knowledge...

115
00:05:56,971 --> 00:06:00,287
...for future filmmakers
Australians of our capacity...

116
00:06:00,331 --> 00:06:02,950
...to tell stories
about ourselves...

117
00:06:02,987 --> 00:06:05,158
...in a dynamic way
and interesting.

118
00:06:05,195 --> 00:06:07,334
We really went
very lucky...

119
00:06:07,371 --> 00:06:10,240
...well we had at the time
and place indicated...

120
00:06:10,283 --> 00:06:12,138
...to two extremely people
committed...

121
00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:14,341
...with the idea of a culture
of Australian cinema.

122
00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:17,608
If you could show a hint
of creative capacity in Australia...

123
00:06:17,643 --> 00:06:19,465
...suddenly you received
ample funds.

124
00:06:19,498 --> 00:06:21,887
The government gives piles of money
to any bastard...

125
00:06:21,931 --> 00:06:24,418
...that says he can paint,
write poems or make movies.

126
00:06:24,459 --> 00:06:25,920
And the whole thing began.

127
00:06:25,963 --> 00:06:27,751
IT'S NOT HOLLYWOOD,
PRECISELY

128
00:06:29,035 --> 00:06:32,865
"Ockers", Breasts,
Pubic Hair and Tubes...

129
00:06:32,907 --> 00:06:35,842
I had a funny idea
for a movie...

130
00:06:35,883 --> 00:06:37,672
...about Australian sexuality.

131
00:06:37,707 --> 00:06:39,779
What do you think of "les ba nismo"?

132
00:06:39,818 --> 00:06:40,996
They...

133
00:06:43,019 --> 00:06:46,150
I'm afraid I don't understand
medical terms.

134
00:06:46,186 --> 00:06:49,253
The idea was to have a character
like Dr. Kinsey...

135
00:06:49,291 --> 00:06:50,851
...wandering and taking notes.

136
00:06:50,891 --> 00:06:52,865
He saw sex
as Australia sees it.

137
00:06:52,907 --> 00:06:54,336
Talk to a madam
in a brothel

138
00:06:54,379 --> 00:06:57,161
I used to be a prostitute...

139
00:06:57,195 --> 00:07:01,156
...but age and everything else
It affected me.

140
00:07:01,195 --> 00:07:04,294
With models, photographers,
the common man.

141
00:07:04,331 --> 00:07:06,982
Censorship at all levels
I jumped on him constantly.

142
00:07:07,019 --> 00:07:10,117
When it is finally released,
many sequences had been cut.

143
00:07:10,155 --> 00:07:13,024
I would be terrified of sex with a man.
I wouldn't know what to do.

144
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:15,139
And the director, John B. Murray...

145
00:07:15,178 --> 00:07:18,921
...included drawings of a little monster
naked to indicate the cuts.

146
00:07:18,955 --> 00:07:21,857
The little monster jumped, moved
and danced on the screen.

147
00:07:21,898 --> 00:07:23,687
And the audience went crazy.

148
00:07:23,723 --> 00:07:25,992
They preferred the parts more
from the movie...

149
00:07:26,027 --> 00:07:27,620
...which only contained
to the little monster

150
00:07:27,659 --> 00:07:29,415
Australian censorship...

151
00:07:29,451 --> 00:07:32,386
...was the most repressive
of the West.

152
00:07:32,427 --> 00:07:35,776
If you saw naked breasts,
and certainly...

153
00:07:35,819 --> 00:07:38,568
...if you saw pubic hair, basically
you fell out of your chair.

154
00:07:38,603 --> 00:07:41,090
We had a censor in Australia
in those days...

155
00:07:41,131 --> 00:07:44,611
...a man named Prouse.
I didn't know much about him...

156
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:46,854
...except he was one-armed.

157
00:07:46,891 --> 00:07:50,950
Maybe Prouse couldn't masturbate
as easily as others.

158
00:07:50,987 --> 00:07:53,092
And when I had conflicts
censorship,

159
00:07:53,131 --> 00:07:55,814
Barry Humphries gave
press conferences, and said:

160
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:58,720
...who regretted that Mr. Prouse
I wouldn't have been able to attend...

161
00:07:58,763 --> 00:08:01,895
...but he knew that he would have given
his right arm for doing so.

162
00:08:01,931 --> 00:08:05,575
I think it was the advent
of Don Chipp as Minister of Customs...

163
00:08:05,611 --> 00:08:08,228
...which led to censorship laws
less severe.

164
00:08:08,267 --> 00:08:10,820
I hope you have a great time
in Australia, sir.

165
00:08:10,858 --> 00:08:13,127
I think the standards
communities change...

166
00:08:13,163 --> 00:08:16,065
...and the philosophies of censorship
They follow them.

167
00:08:16,106 --> 00:08:18,495
He was the pioneer
of the R classification.

168
00:08:18,538 --> 00:08:21,855
The R rating allowed violence
much more explicit...

169
00:08:21,899 --> 00:08:23,492
...and much more explicit sex.

170
00:08:23,531 --> 00:08:26,346
Suddenly, everything was worth
for old and young.

171
00:08:26,379 --> 00:08:29,991
It is the most daring comedy,
crazy and funny that you have ever seen.

172
00:08:30,027 --> 00:08:31,587
As I approach you...

173
00:08:31,627 --> 00:08:33,383
...I stick the smoked oyster up my nose
in this way.

174
00:08:33,419 --> 00:08:36,419
Excuse me, ma'am.
Do you have a handkerchief?

175
00:08:36,459 --> 00:08:40,168
"Stork" was the first
of the so-called "ocker" comedies.

176
00:08:40,203 --> 00:08:42,177
How's the situation here?
with women?

177
00:08:42,219 --> 00:08:43,975
There was a lot of frankness...

178
00:08:44,010 --> 00:08:45,832
...about the morals of the time,
it seems to me.

179
00:08:45,866 --> 00:08:48,583
The old m�nage a trois.

180
00:08:48,619 --> 00:08:51,139
Somehow it is not left
like something dirty.

181
00:08:51,178 --> 00:08:52,837
Are you a virgin, Stork?

182
00:08:52,875 --> 00:08:55,842
To everyone's surprise,
"Stork" turned out to be...

183
00:08:55,883 --> 00:08:59,625
...the first commercial success
Australian in 15 years.

184
00:08:59,659 --> 00:09:03,008
It was a moment of change in
acceptance of Australian films...

185
00:09:03,051 --> 00:09:06,596
...as something that people
maybe you would like to see.

186
00:09:06,635 --> 00:09:07,746
Not many years ago...

187
00:09:07,786 --> 00:09:11,365
...if you asked a foreigner
which exemplified Australia...

188
00:09:11,402 --> 00:09:15,777
...they would probably have said
a kangaroo or a koala.

189
00:09:15,819 --> 00:09:18,470
Now that answer
it is more likely to be...

190
00:09:18,506 --> 00:09:21,540
...our self-proclaimed hero
national, Bazza McKenzie.

191
00:09:21,579 --> 00:09:25,474
Barry McKenzie was an Australian
who was looking for sexual adventures...

192
00:09:25,515 --> 00:09:27,555
...which, at the same time,
I feared them.

193
00:09:27,595 --> 00:09:29,832
He is a simple character
that is found...

194
00:09:29,867 --> 00:09:32,649
...in the most sophisticated environment
from London.

195
00:09:32,683 --> 00:09:35,072
We try to make England
looked the worst possible.

196
00:09:35,115 --> 00:09:37,351
That's not difficult.

197
00:09:37,386 --> 00:09:39,721
Do you like it? It was done
with a coat of Dulux.

198
00:09:39,754 --> 00:09:43,584
It was very important that there be
a lot of dog shit everywhere.

199
00:09:43,626 --> 00:09:46,593
I even wrote a song:
"Be careful with the Pop� on the Sidewalk."

200
00:09:46,635 --> 00:09:48,544
Don't be careless.

201
00:09:48,586 --> 00:09:51,074
The buildings can be
ancient and historical...

202
00:09:51,114 --> 00:09:53,503
...but the streets are covered
of garbage.

203
00:09:53,547 --> 00:09:54,757
Damn dog shit.

204
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:57,183
I almost broke my leg on the card
visit of that Alsatian.

205
00:09:57,227 --> 00:09:59,747
There are several things that
They were made for the first time there...

206
00:09:59,786 --> 00:10:02,339
...and I think the vomiting scene
It is the most seminal.

207
00:10:03,307 --> 00:10:05,696
I mixed up the vomit.

208
00:10:05,739 --> 00:10:08,357
It was more than
no corn soup.

209
00:10:08,394 --> 00:10:09,954
- Pea soup.
- Fruit salad.

210
00:10:09,994 --> 00:10:12,383
Augmented with
potato salad

211
00:10:12,426 --> 00:10:15,623
- And lemonade to give it effervescence.
- I remember Barry saying:

212
00:10:15,658 --> 00:10:19,652
"Be sure to include chunks
of tomato. "They always show up."

213
00:10:19,691 --> 00:10:21,763
We had a vomiting scene
in the first movie.

214
00:10:21,803 --> 00:10:23,875
They copied us
in those of "The Exorcist".

215
00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:25,344
I won't sue them."

216
00:10:25,387 --> 00:10:28,736
I thought we should have two
in the next, and so it was.

217
00:10:30,506 --> 00:10:32,067
one of the scenes
what I treasure...

218
00:10:32,107 --> 00:10:35,271
...was making Barry McKenzie vomit
from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

219
00:10:35,307 --> 00:10:38,372
I'm not feeling well, Ned Kelly.
I'm going to call Ruth.

220
00:10:38,410 --> 00:10:40,515
And people were confused by this.
of "calling Ruth."

221
00:10:40,555 --> 00:10:43,173
And he leans over the railing,
and you hear him calling...

222
00:10:45,451 --> 00:10:47,360
Ruth!

223
00:10:49,258 --> 00:10:51,265
It makes you sick to even think
in it.

224
00:10:51,307 --> 00:10:54,405
It's one of the great moments
of Australian cinema.

225
00:10:54,443 --> 00:10:57,258
And if there had been more of that
in "Picnic on the Hanging Rocks"...

226
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,916
...it would have been a movie
even better.

227
00:10:58,954 --> 00:11:01,671
How does an Australian
handsome and clean like me...

228
00:11:01,707 --> 00:11:03,136
...everything goes so wrong...

229
00:11:03,179 --> 00:11:05,928
...when a bastard
unpleasant as you...

230
00:11:05,962 --> 00:11:09,311
...are you lucky on a plane?

231
00:11:09,354 --> 00:11:12,169
Homophobia and racism
They can be charming.

232
00:11:12,202 --> 00:11:14,952
If it rained virgins, I'd be stuck
in a sewer with a whore.

233
00:11:14,986 --> 00:11:16,131
Charming.

234
00:11:16,171 --> 00:11:18,592
What a person of color
most charming.

235
00:11:18,634 --> 00:11:21,569
- Essential.
- I will not admit that they are attacked.

236
00:11:21,610 --> 00:11:23,999
This is what makes us
who we are

237
00:11:24,043 --> 00:11:26,498
We did have a classification:
NAM.

238
00:11:26,539 --> 00:11:28,197
No faggots allowed.

239
00:11:29,387 --> 00:11:31,525
How many times
Have I told you, Rhonda?

240
00:11:31,563 --> 00:11:34,410
Don't bring any
of your faggot boyfriends...

241
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:36,067
...through our private area.

242
00:11:36,106 --> 00:11:37,699
Especially the Australians.

243
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:40,356
They are the oldest
everyone's faggots.

244
00:11:40,394 --> 00:11:41,409
Yes, sir.

245
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:45,760
Barry had always hated and detested
to the Australian "ocker".

246
00:11:48,266 --> 00:11:49,826
To his horror...

247
00:11:49,867 --> 00:11:52,420
...the people he hated the most
I loved the movie the most.

248
00:11:52,459 --> 00:11:55,077
Are you glad to have a girl with you?
to see the movie?

249
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:58,376
Yes, it's like the song says,
puts your girlfriend in the mood.

250
00:11:58,411 --> 00:12:00,647
I'm proud to be Australian.

251
00:12:00,683 --> 00:12:02,505
He makes me feel
Australian.

252
00:12:02,539 --> 00:12:04,610
Yes, I think it is
a real Australian.

253
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:09,025
Look, there are always idiots
who see satire as a documentary.

254
00:12:09,066 --> 00:12:11,652
They thought it was support
to your lifestyle.

255
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:13,927
And in fact,
in a comical way...

256
00:12:13,962 --> 00:12:15,872
...certainly it was.
She was very affectionate.

257
00:12:15,914 --> 00:12:17,474
Yes, I was talking
with some friends...

258
00:12:17,611 --> 00:12:19,334
...sophisticated friends,
who produce movies...

259
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:21,313
...and they think this is the guy
demonstration...

260
00:12:21,355 --> 00:12:24,486
...which has given Australia leadership
world in current film production.

261
00:12:24,523 --> 00:12:27,784
I think so, Barry.
Did you know that critics are furious?

262
00:12:27,819 --> 00:12:31,943
A nasty movie,
third or fourth category.

263
00:12:31,978 --> 00:12:34,847
It was really disgusting.
Look at her, she's just horrible.

264
00:12:34,890 --> 00:12:37,224
It is ugly, harassed
and unpleasant.

265
00:12:37,258 --> 00:12:40,324
- Ridiculous.
- Maybe I'm old-fashioned, young lady...

266
00:12:40,362 --> 00:12:44,224
...but lesbianism always bothered me
It has left a bad taste in your mouth.

267
00:12:44,266 --> 00:12:45,543
Not Australian.

268
00:12:45,578 --> 00:12:49,058
 �It is true that all Australians
are they homosexual?

269
00:12:49,099 --> 00:12:51,008
No, friend, it's just a rumor...

270
00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:54,312
...which the Australian government propagates
to attract English immigrants.

271
00:12:54,347 --> 00:12:56,835
I thought maybe it was
Too Australian.

272
00:12:56,875 --> 00:12:59,777
We were not making a film for
the Australian Tourism Commission.

273
00:12:59,818 --> 00:13:02,306
If you can't satirize yourself,
you have no identity.

274
00:13:02,346 --> 00:13:04,385
I think that's it
a very important film.

275
00:13:04,426 --> 00:13:06,335
Society was changing.

276
00:13:06,378 --> 00:13:10,656
The perception of social values
and political values ​​changed.

277
00:13:10,698 --> 00:13:15,171
Let the barriers disappear
laws against pornography.

278
00:13:15,210 --> 00:13:18,309
Let's abolish the censors, they say
and have fun as we want.

279
00:13:18,347 --> 00:13:21,249
Maybe Australia will lead the world
in the field of television...

280
00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:22,402
...with "Number 96".

281
00:13:22,443 --> 00:13:26,436
"Number 96" was a TV program
important, very successful.

282
00:13:26,475 --> 00:13:30,119
He turned the TV upside down
because it was... surprising.

283
00:13:31,563 --> 00:13:34,791
That kind of release
It also happened in the movies.

284
00:13:34,825 --> 00:13:37,192
It was mandatory to have at least
a nude scene.

285
00:13:37,226 --> 00:13:39,615
I was often nicknamed
"the naked girl next door."

286
00:13:39,658 --> 00:13:42,047
It was a position of liberation.

287
00:13:42,090 --> 00:13:43,945
It was a way of saying...

288
00:13:43,978 --> 00:13:45,887
..."I am who I am
and care."

289
00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:48,833
The Australian girl is
proud of her figure.

290
00:13:48,874 --> 00:13:51,241
And with all rights.
It is very beautiful.

291
00:13:51,274 --> 00:13:52,835
Nudism was not a problem
in this period...

292
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:54,151
...because everyone wanted
be naked

293
00:13:54,186 --> 00:13:57,983
It's so you can walk alone
the bottom of the swimsuit.

294
00:13:58,026 --> 00:14:00,808
And if you're wearing the full bikini,
you are old fashioned

295
00:14:00,843 --> 00:14:04,039
Everyone shows everything.

296
00:14:04,074 --> 00:14:07,108
People were walking naked in the street,
at home, naked at parties.

297
00:14:07,146 --> 00:14:08,226
 �Someone wants to play
to garment poker?

298
00:14:08,266 --> 00:14:09,641
Women are proud
of their big bodies...

299
00:14:09,674 --> 00:14:11,081
...the men in their bellies
for drinking beer...

300
00:14:11,114 --> 00:14:12,968
...it was a celebration
of the meat.

301
00:14:13,002 --> 00:14:16,297
There were certain elements in society
Australian, very conservative...

302
00:14:16,330 --> 00:14:18,818
...they were alarmed
for the new freedoms.

303
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:22,055
You warned that civilization
would face disaster...

304
00:14:22,090 --> 00:14:24,229
...if morality continues
being degraded.

305
00:14:24,266 --> 00:14:26,176
How much time do we have left?
actually?

306
00:14:26,218 --> 00:14:28,935
I have spoken to Lord Longford
and Malcolm Muggeridge...

307
00:14:28,971 --> 00:14:31,076
...and they give him a period
of 10 years.

308
00:14:31,114 --> 00:14:33,983
I was waiting anxiously
moral decay...

309
00:14:34,026 --> 00:14:36,415
...but it didn't happen so seriously
like they said.

310
00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:39,328
Yes there was enough
to make it interesting.

311
00:14:39,370 --> 00:14:42,403
Alvin Purple was filmed
earlier this year...

312
00:14:42,442 --> 00:14:45,737
...by leading filmmaker
from Australia, Tim Burstall.

313
00:14:46,698 --> 00:14:49,251
"Alfie", with Michael Caine,
it had just been released.

314
00:14:49,290 --> 00:14:53,993
And I did the reverse situation
where Alvin was the victim.

315
00:14:54,026 --> 00:14:56,263
The women turned
the predators.

316
00:14:56,298 --> 00:15:00,674
Tim said he wanted to have someone in
this role other than the obvious leading man.

317
00:15:00,715 --> 00:15:03,431
If you have a real gal
as the protagonist...

318
00:15:03,465 --> 00:15:07,044
...all men will hate him
for being so sexually experienced.

319
00:15:07,082 --> 00:15:09,766
All women would feel
resentful, you know?

320
00:15:09,802 --> 00:15:11,690
"I never found myself
with someone like that."

321
00:15:11,722 --> 00:15:15,071
Graeme Blundell was perfect for her
because he seemed like a regular guy.

322
00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:17,831
She became one of ours
first megastars.

323
00:15:17,866 --> 00:15:19,775
It was very exciting to be
in the center of all that...

324
00:15:19,819 --> 00:15:22,469
...and incredibly intimidating to have
I have to deal with it in my normal life.

325
00:15:22,506 --> 00:15:24,099
People came up to me
anywhere:

326
00:15:24,138 --> 00:15:27,651
"There's my wife, old man.
"She wants to talk to you, do you understand?"

327
00:15:27,691 --> 00:15:31,432
I didn't really think about it
in a jealous, possessive way...

328
00:15:31,466 --> 00:15:34,116
My marriage ended.
My wife was a pioneering feminist...

329
00:15:34,154 --> 00:15:36,325
...and obviously I wasn't going to live
with all the nonsense...

330
00:15:36,362 --> 00:15:38,434
...corresponding to Alvin Purple
in real life.

331
00:15:38,473 --> 00:15:40,710
There are very few actresses
of my generation...

332
00:15:40,746 --> 00:15:43,396
...that did not appear naked
in an Alvin movie.

333
00:15:43,434 --> 00:15:46,151
 �You went to work in a hurry
this morning?

334
00:15:46,186 --> 00:15:49,535
The girls who have turned
very modest they are naked and...

335
00:15:49,579 --> 00:15:52,928
...apparently, they enjoy it.
I would suggest that for very little money...

336
00:15:52,970 --> 00:15:54,563
...since Burstall
was involved.

337
00:15:54,602 --> 00:15:56,741
Tim loved to include breasts
in the making if possible.

338
00:15:56,778 --> 00:15:58,883
- That was the game.
- It was all for the art.

339
00:15:58,923 --> 00:16:00,711
I think Tim, actually...

340
00:16:00,746 --> 00:16:04,575
...may have encouraged some
of actresses to be more daring...

341
00:16:04,618 --> 00:16:07,106
...in terms of quantity
of clothes they took off...

342
00:16:07,146 --> 00:16:09,382
...giving them additional remuneration...

343
00:16:09,418 --> 00:16:11,971
...to make your well-being
healthier and more stable.

344
00:16:12,010 --> 00:16:15,239
Tim Burstall didn't bribe me
to show more breast.

345
00:16:16,554 --> 00:16:19,304
They couldn't have seen
more than what they saw.

346
00:16:19,339 --> 00:16:21,510
I remember Tim offering
to Jackie Weaver...

347
00:16:21,546 --> 00:16:23,968
...I think it was $500 in cash
to take off his clothes.

348
00:16:24,010 --> 00:16:25,734
And Jackie said:
"How much? Okay."

349
00:16:26,378 --> 00:16:27,470
It was a big budget.

350
00:16:27,471 --> 00:16:30,120
I remember telling him
to Johny Seale on one occasion,

351
00:16:30,154 --> 00:16:33,895
"How was it?"
"It was difficult to judge," he responded.

352
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:36,897
"The viewfinder was completely
covered in steam."

353
00:16:36,937 --> 00:16:39,654
The visor often fogged up.

354
00:16:39,690 --> 00:16:41,894
For God's sake, he told me,
that's very hot.

355
00:16:41,929 --> 00:16:44,580
You want to get good laughs,
you want to see good breasts.

356
00:16:44,618 --> 00:16:45,795
And that gave it everything.

357
00:16:45,834 --> 00:16:50,373
It was a success of proportions
astronomical.

358
00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:53,345
The budget was $200,000.
and raised $5 million.

359
00:16:53,386 --> 00:16:55,842
See those huge queues
that went around the corner...

360
00:16:55,882 --> 00:16:58,271
...knowing it was a movie
extremely profitable...

361
00:16:58,314 --> 00:17:00,452
...gave him a huge boost
to the industry.

362
00:17:00,489 --> 00:17:04,134
I worked with Robert Aldrich,
Robert Altman and Tim Burstall.

363
00:17:04,169 --> 00:17:08,293
And they all have that wonderful
quality of vulgarity.

364
00:17:08,330 --> 00:17:11,363
Departure from our passionate past
and adventurous...

365
00:17:11,402 --> 00:17:14,369
...there is a very daring story,
very beautifully beautiful...

366
00:17:14,410 --> 00:17:16,549
...very incredibly
exciting...

367
00:17:16,585 --> 00:17:19,041
Thank goodness it happened
140 years ago.

368
00:17:19,082 --> 00:17:21,471
Tim wanted to make a movie
about Eliza Fraser...

369
00:17:21,514 --> 00:17:24,362
...but I didn't want it to be something
terribly serious and distressing.

370
00:17:24,394 --> 00:17:26,282
It should have been fun...

371
00:17:26,314 --> 00:17:28,583
...with shamelessness
as an operative word.

372
00:17:28,618 --> 00:17:31,039
Without a doubt,
"Eliza Fraser" was...

373
00:17:31,082 --> 00:17:33,416
...a mix
huge and wonderful...

374
00:17:33,450 --> 00:17:34,759
...a great potpourri.

375
00:17:34,793 --> 00:17:38,568
I guess it may have been because
the Australian film industry...

376
00:17:38,602 --> 00:17:41,471
...I was looking for a way
to move forward...

377
00:17:41,514 --> 00:17:43,848
...and they found in Tim
to the perfect person...

378
00:17:43,882 --> 00:17:46,565
...which could actually give them
a little of everything.

379
00:17:46,601 --> 00:17:48,325
In reality, he was trash.

380
00:17:48,362 --> 00:17:51,396
He was the louse of the industry
Australian film.

381
00:17:51,434 --> 00:17:53,856
On the other hand, everyone always
We will owe him everything.

382
00:17:53,898 --> 00:17:56,069
He was the person
more responsible...

383
00:17:56,106 --> 00:17:59,138
...to start walking
the rebirth at that time.

384
00:17:59,178 --> 00:18:03,040
If Tim Burstall had energy,
John Lamond had super energy.

385
00:18:03,081 --> 00:18:05,503
John had great capacity...

386
00:18:05,545 --> 00:18:09,375
...to understand what he liked
to the public at that time.

387
00:18:09,418 --> 00:18:11,687
A little rawness,
and some nudity.

388
00:18:11,721 --> 00:18:14,088
We will explore the strange,
the erotic...

389
00:18:14,122 --> 00:18:16,489
...the ugly, the obscene
and the beautiful.

390
00:18:16,522 --> 00:18:19,391
a strange trip
and sometimes disturbing...

391
00:18:19,434 --> 00:18:21,376
...through the darkest
from Australia.

392
00:18:21,418 --> 00:18:23,839
We spent a year
collecting material...

393
00:18:23,882 --> 00:18:26,600
...about people who dived naked
and filmed tropical fish.

394
00:18:26,634 --> 00:18:29,481
There was a crazy bastard
who used to conduct music...

395
00:18:29,513 --> 00:18:32,295
...and paint their women different
colors to make bare murals.

396
00:18:32,329 --> 00:18:34,566
And there was a lady in Kings Cross
called Madam Lash.

397
00:18:34,601 --> 00:18:36,903
- Lash is ready!
- Look at that colt.

398
00:18:36,937 --> 00:18:39,042
You don't see craftsmanship like that
nowadays.

399
00:18:39,082 --> 00:18:40,740
It really happened
around us.

400
00:18:40,777 --> 00:18:43,014
We saw things
like I haven't seen again.

401
00:18:43,049 --> 00:18:45,700
I wouldn't mind seeing them again,
because I have never done it.

402
00:18:45,738 --> 00:18:48,705
black magic ceremonies
They are strange and terrifying.

403
00:18:48,745 --> 00:18:51,298
We see one of those ceremonies
in the middle of a forest...

404
00:18:51,338 --> 00:18:52,745
...not far from Melbourne.

405
00:18:52,778 --> 00:18:53,989
People were very surprised:

406
00:18:54,026 --> 00:18:57,060
"Devil worshipers
in Melbourne. This is"...

407
00:18:57,098 --> 00:18:59,431
And John said:
"I can't talk about it.

408
00:18:59,465 --> 00:19:01,701
"They will curse me."

409
00:19:01,737 --> 00:19:03,974
I told him: "Tell me.
"You have to tell me."

410
00:19:04,009 --> 00:19:06,726
He answered: "It was in the garden
from my mother-in-law.

411
00:19:06,762 --> 00:19:09,412
They were all friends of mine;
we use a smoke machine...

412
00:19:09,450 --> 00:19:11,970
...and a girl who squirmed
at the altar

413
00:19:12,010 --> 00:19:14,727
After Kings Cross,
we ran out of vices...

414
00:19:14,762 --> 00:19:16,999
...and so we had to create
false vices.

415
00:19:17,034 --> 00:19:19,489
"Jaws" was in a movie theater
and in 14 drive-ins...

416
00:19:19,530 --> 00:19:21,635
...and we premiere a week
next and we collect the same.

417
00:19:21,674 --> 00:19:24,424
For information of those who come
to the drive-in for the first time...

418
00:19:24,458 --> 00:19:26,695
...the following tips will
feel at home...

419
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:28,104
...and will improve your experience.

420
00:19:28,137 --> 00:19:30,374
If you went from one extreme
from Australia to another...

421
00:19:30,409 --> 00:19:32,449
...there used to be about 400 drive-ins.

422
00:19:32,490 --> 00:19:34,857
Both in the US
like in Australia...

423
00:19:34,889 --> 00:19:37,377
...by having the fetish
of cars...

424
00:19:37,417 --> 00:19:39,075
...the drive-in culture exists.

425
00:19:39,114 --> 00:19:42,594
I can see great possibility that the
Australian films get there.

426
00:19:42,634 --> 00:19:45,929
I mean, if they couldn't win the Suspension
Silver at the Krakow Festival...

427
00:19:45,962 --> 00:19:49,344
...they could certainly take a place
with drive-in audiences.

428
00:19:49,386 --> 00:19:52,168
Sink your teeth into one now.

429
00:19:54,058 --> 00:19:56,676
Now for the first time
on the big screen...

430
00:19:56,714 --> 00:20:00,291
...we bring you a revealing study
and optimistic between the sheets...

431
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:02,533
...and modern love and sex.

432
00:20:02,569 --> 00:20:04,194
we sit
one saturday afternoon...

433
00:20:04,233 --> 00:20:06,208
...and we came up with the idea
for "ABC of Love and Sex."

434
00:20:06,250 --> 00:20:08,355
And what you deliberately
We decided to avoid...

435
00:20:08,393 --> 00:20:10,760
...it was the style documentary
textbook.

436
00:20:10,794 --> 00:20:13,990
John Lamond convinced me
to participate in the film...

437
00:20:14,026 --> 00:20:16,033
...like someone dressed
leather

438
00:20:16,074 --> 00:20:18,463
Scandalous.

439
00:20:18,506 --> 00:20:22,303
Everyone was in their robes
and they breathed deeply.

440
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:24,932
And they all got naked,
the stomachs disappeared...

441
00:20:24,970 --> 00:20:26,596
...and we start with the orgy.

442
00:20:26,634 --> 00:20:29,480
But one wouldn't want an orgy
with any of these people.

443
00:20:29,513 --> 00:20:31,073
You would have run away.

444
00:20:31,113 --> 00:20:32,673
We strive to be
controversial.

445
00:20:32,713 --> 00:20:35,430
The vagina is an area
incredible erogena...

446
00:20:35,465 --> 00:20:37,352
...and, due to its elasticity...

447
00:20:37,385 --> 00:20:39,774
...can accommodate penises
of different size.

448
00:20:39,817 --> 00:20:42,632
John could conceive these things,
and he realized that...

449
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:46,692
...if there were young girls soaping themselves
each other in the shower...

450
00:20:46,729 --> 00:20:49,446
...you would probably attract
to some type of audience.

451
00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:52,384
Meet Felicity.
She's the new girl...

452
00:20:52,426 --> 00:20:55,077
...more shameless, daring and sexy
of the world.

453
00:20:55,113 --> 00:20:57,022
He read the script and thought:

454
00:20:57,065 --> 00:20:59,454
"This is so...hot."

455
00:20:59,497 --> 00:21:01,537
Felicity starts at a school
in a convent...

456
00:21:01,578 --> 00:21:04,196
...because I had always heard
that people with devout Catholicism...

457
00:21:04,233 --> 00:21:05,760
...is the hottest
when he does it.

458
00:21:05,801 --> 00:21:08,736
I was very much in favor of liberation
feminine when I was younger.

459
00:21:08,777 --> 00:21:11,647
It's incredible, in a way,
to make this movie...

460
00:21:11,689 --> 00:21:14,723
...except that the movie
It's actually pro-women.

461
00:21:14,762 --> 00:21:18,756
- Miles, I'm so hot.
- Just look at this part.

462
00:21:18,794 --> 00:21:21,216
There is a certain fantasy
masculine in it.

463
00:21:21,258 --> 00:21:24,127
Fantasy number one
of those who watch sexy movies...

464
00:21:24,169 --> 00:21:26,503
...and not just men,
It's the lesbian scene.

465
00:21:26,537 --> 00:21:29,188
I think two girls lying together
They are not lesbians...

466
00:21:29,225 --> 00:21:31,112
...it's more the male fantasy.

467
00:21:31,145 --> 00:21:33,479
Glory doesn't like lesbian sex
in the movies...

468
00:21:33,513 --> 00:21:35,422
...and I can't speak
of the private part.

469
00:21:35,465 --> 00:21:38,465
In my defense, I could say that
lesbian things really happen.

470
00:21:38,506 --> 00:21:40,448
And of course
It was even more interesting...

471
00:21:40,489 --> 00:21:43,271
...if lesbians were beautiful...

472
00:21:43,306 --> 00:21:46,023
...not women with looks
of truckers.

473
00:21:46,057 --> 00:21:49,374
It's forced, but it doesn't mean
let it be bad.

474
00:21:49,418 --> 00:21:51,425
Jon knew there was
enough people...

475
00:21:51,466 --> 00:21:54,280
...who wanted to see voyeurs,
guys who smell panties...

476
00:21:54,314 --> 00:21:55,590
...and leather orgies.

477
00:21:55,625 --> 00:21:59,106
He could be ribald,
but it was totally adorable.

478
00:21:59,145 --> 00:22:02,047
And John never took
Seriously yourself...

479
00:22:02,089 --> 00:22:06,083
...like an evangelist as to
to sexual freedoms...

480
00:22:06,121 --> 00:22:11,239
...or as a playwright
respectable and responsible.

481
00:22:11,273 --> 00:22:13,510
They tell me that I treat women
as sexual objects...

482
00:22:13,545 --> 00:22:15,912
...and I guess it's true, because
I ask them for sex and they object.

483
00:22:15,946 --> 00:22:18,335
By the mid '70s,
sex meant money...

484
00:22:18,378 --> 00:22:19,655
...there is no doubt about that.

485
00:22:19,690 --> 00:22:21,763
There were more and more movies...

486
00:22:21,802 --> 00:22:24,355
...where the box office increased
like crazy...

487
00:22:24,393 --> 00:22:27,741
...because the movie included nudity
of someone attractive.

488
00:22:29,065 --> 00:22:32,262
Abigail became notorious
in "Number 96".

489
00:22:32,297 --> 00:22:36,094
And he had a certain reputation
"dangerous."

490
00:22:36,137 --> 00:22:38,309
It was definitely
a sexual symbol.

491
00:22:38,345 --> 00:22:40,767
We publicize the fact
what we had filmed...

492
00:22:40,810 --> 00:22:43,112
...the first frontal nude
totally with Abi.

493
00:22:43,145 --> 00:22:45,447
She felt that they had
taken advantage of.

494
00:22:45,481 --> 00:22:47,718
It made the press say...

495
00:22:47,753 --> 00:22:50,372
..."He used my body."
And I was very surprised...

496
00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:53,444
...and I called her and said, "I didn't know
"Let that be your opinion."

497
00:22:53,482 --> 00:22:55,718
He responded: "No. Just
"It got you publicity."

498
00:22:55,753 --> 00:22:59,201
The media took it
like cheap excitement.

499
00:22:59,241 --> 00:23:02,275
They clung to women
as sexual symbols.

500
00:23:05,097 --> 00:23:08,261
It was what you should be
at that time.

501
00:23:08,298 --> 00:23:10,687
It had a lot to do
with bikinis, wet clothes...

502
00:23:10,729 --> 00:23:13,664
...running half naked,
showers and things like that.

503
00:23:13,705 --> 00:23:16,094
I had work
partly because she was pretty...

504
00:23:16,137 --> 00:23:17,795
...and I was willing
to take off my clothes.

505
00:23:17,834 --> 00:23:22,438
I think it's great to document
that you looked very good.

506
00:23:22,474 --> 00:23:26,182
I thought we were demystifying
the female body.

507
00:23:26,217 --> 00:23:29,959
I was terribly wrong.
It was like an exploitation.

508
00:23:29,993 --> 00:23:33,026
One of the criticisms that he said said that
my breasts were not in great shape.

509
00:23:33,065 --> 00:23:35,334
So they criticized my breasts
instead of my performance.

510
00:23:35,369 --> 00:23:37,508
Consequently,
some of the best actors...

511
00:23:37,545 --> 00:23:38,822
...they tended not to be in movies...

512
00:23:38,858 --> 00:23:41,345
...and there were more and more models
as protagonists.

513
00:23:41,386 --> 00:23:42,912
My name is Tony Ginnane.

514
00:23:42,954 --> 00:23:45,987
Last year I brought a company
film to Hollywood...

515
00:23:46,026 --> 00:23:48,960
...the world capital of cinema,
and I offered them "Fantasm."

516
00:23:49,002 --> 00:23:51,969
It was impossible
get cast.

517
00:23:52,009 --> 00:23:54,725
And the idea arose to film it
in USA

518
00:23:54,761 --> 00:23:57,379
I was in charge of the agency
of nude models...

519
00:23:57,416 --> 00:23:58,758
...largest in the world.

520
00:23:58,793 --> 00:24:02,437
And one day they arrive at my office
these gentlemen from Australia...

521
00:24:02,473 --> 00:24:04,545
...and of course the first name
what did I mention...

522
00:24:04,585 --> 00:24:06,919
...went to John Holmes, the King.
John was living proof...

523
00:24:06,953 --> 00:24:09,190
...that not all men
They were created equal.

524
00:24:10,153 --> 00:24:12,542
That's a shot that tends
to take your breath away.

525
00:24:12,585 --> 00:24:14,495
Everyone had their
10 minutes of fame.

526
00:24:14,538 --> 00:24:17,255
Maybe John Holmes helped me
to get 30 cm. of fame.

527
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:18,850
I had never seen anything like it.

528
00:24:18,889 --> 00:24:21,344
I would certainly see her again.
I thought it was very funny.

529
00:24:21,386 --> 00:24:23,174
- Very funny. Really.
- Likewise.

530
00:24:23,210 --> 00:24:26,024
There was a brief moment
in Australian history...

531
00:24:26,057 --> 00:24:28,130
...where mixed couples
middle class...

532
00:24:28,169 --> 00:24:31,104
...they wanted to see nudes
and sex on screen.

533
00:24:31,145 --> 00:24:32,869
Now we have returned
to Hollywood...

534
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:36,615
...to bring you erotic comedy
most scandalous they have ever seen.

535
00:24:36,649 --> 00:24:38,078
Unfortunately...

536
00:24:38,121 --> 00:24:40,674
...for when it comes out
"Fantasm Comes Again"...

537
00:24:40,713 --> 00:24:42,501
...I think that moment
had passed.

538
00:24:42,537 --> 00:24:45,220
The "critics" of the period hated
that kind of cinema.

539
00:24:45,258 --> 00:24:49,120
I would feel safer if I asked
the pilot how many hours he has.

540
00:24:49,161 --> 00:24:51,365
You have to come look
my blog

541
00:24:51,402 --> 00:24:54,215
It was really a notion
of surprise and horror...

542
00:24:54,249 --> 00:24:57,151
...that we would have to admit
before the rest of the world...

543
00:24:57,192 --> 00:25:00,062
...that we were rubes.

544
00:25:15,978 --> 00:25:18,050
One had the feeling
that the government...

545
00:25:18,090 --> 00:25:19,999
...was stationed on the border
with the police...

546
00:25:20,041 --> 00:25:22,975
...to prevent the cans with these
films were seen abroad.

547
00:25:23,016 --> 00:25:24,675
So instead of making movies...

548
00:25:24,713 --> 00:25:27,942
...that arose libidinously
of whom we were...

549
00:25:27,977 --> 00:25:31,010
...we started making movies
about whom we thought...

550
00:25:31,049 --> 00:25:33,220
...that we wanted them to believe
that we were

551
00:25:33,257 --> 00:25:36,225
Suddenly Australia
I had to have an image.

552
00:25:36,265 --> 00:25:38,982
And there were the enemies
of our image...

553
00:25:39,018 --> 00:25:40,611
She's crying out for it, Curl.

554
00:25:40,649 --> 00:25:43,038
His parents want him to pass
for the church...

555
00:25:43,081 --> 00:25:45,831
...before it catches
his bearded clam.

556
00:25:45,865 --> 00:25:48,615
Particularly those who
They don't represent Australia...

557
00:25:48,649 --> 00:25:52,391
...like pretty girls in white dresses
that disappear in the rocks.

558
00:25:52,424 --> 00:25:55,359
But Peter Weir and these others
more cultivated directors...

559
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,822
...they must admit that,
without Bazza and without Alvin...

560
00:25:57,864 --> 00:26:01,988
...without these vulgar movies,
we wouldn't have an industry.

561
00:26:02,025 --> 00:26:04,742
Now it is very clear what he was doing
Australian cinema.

562
00:26:04,777 --> 00:26:08,738
Basically I created a hybrid
between Europe and Hollywood.

563
00:26:08,777 --> 00:26:11,495
And virtually all the films
Australians receiving funds...

564
00:26:11,529 --> 00:26:13,831
...they kept up to date
of our history.

565
00:26:13,865 --> 00:26:16,353
So it was a movement
that was taking place.

566
00:26:16,393 --> 00:26:20,616
There was another movement that was
genre films.

567
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,546
IT'S NOT HOLLYWOOD,
PRECISELY

568
00:26:24,585 --> 00:26:30,433
COMATOUS KILLERS
AND TERROR IN THE DESERT

569
00:26:53,192 --> 00:26:55,647
Terry Bourke: Producer,
director, writer...

570
00:26:55,688 --> 00:26:57,282
...selfish bastard.

571
00:26:57,321 --> 00:26:58,881
His attitude was basically...

572
00:26:58,921 --> 00:27:02,237
...appeal to all types of audiences
that could be achieved.

573
00:27:02,281 --> 00:27:04,485
So if you have
a murder...

574
00:27:04,521 --> 00:27:05,982
...that's 10 buckets of blood.

575
00:27:08,553 --> 00:27:10,789
"Night of Terror"
It certainly opened ground.

576
00:27:10,825 --> 00:27:13,694
A slow descent exercise
to madness.

577
00:27:13,737 --> 00:27:16,192
If we see the scenes
contentious in that movie...

578
00:27:16,233 --> 00:27:18,142
...which caused enormous conflict...

579
00:27:18,185 --> 00:27:20,487
...was the one that contained
the decapitated head.

580
00:27:20,522 --> 00:27:23,969
I have this decapitated head
in front of my naked body.

581
00:27:24,009 --> 00:27:26,791
And I'm standing, looking at her.

582
00:27:26,825 --> 00:27:29,476
I didn't want to see her there...

583
00:27:29,513 --> 00:27:32,131
...but we were making a horror film,
We were touching new ground.

584
00:27:32,169 --> 00:27:34,078
He takes his handle,
pull it...

585
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,382
...and 400 rats appear
and they eat it.

586
00:27:37,417 --> 00:27:40,100
And I'm sitting outside,
saying...

587
00:27:42,217 --> 00:27:44,126
Terry kept saying:
"Don't worry...

588
00:27:44,170 --> 00:27:45,599
...the rats are behind the glass."

589
00:27:45,641 --> 00:27:47,877
When I was about to start,
He tells me:

590
00:27:47,913 --> 00:27:51,228
"By the way, we have a problem
with the glass display case.

591
00:27:51,272 --> 00:27:53,728
And it really would be
much more effective...

592
00:27:53,769 --> 00:27:55,841
...if we could do it
realistically.

593
00:27:55,881 --> 00:27:59,045
Would you mind if the rats
Will they reach your hair?"

594
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,706
Carin screamed.

595
00:28:01,608 --> 00:28:03,713
It was a genuine scream.

596
00:28:03,753 --> 00:28:07,397
Live rats were walking around him
above...

597
00:28:10,505 --> 00:28:14,531
When he could include something
that it was contentious...

598
00:28:14,569 --> 00:28:16,325
...�he made sure to include it.

599
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:18,946
"Lady Stay Dead" was a film
of horror that he wanted to do.

600
00:28:18,985 --> 00:28:21,318
The villain raised
to the protagonist...

601
00:28:21,353 --> 00:28:23,044
...and he put it in headfirst
in the aquarium.

602
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,396
Terry told him to kick
if he ran out of air.

603
00:28:26,441 --> 00:28:29,310
Well that girl
kicked furiously...

604
00:28:29,352 --> 00:28:31,262
...and Chad Haywood kept her
head.

605
00:28:31,305 --> 00:28:33,378
Being the protagonist,
Chad said:

606
00:28:33,417 --> 00:28:36,766
"I have to move on,"
and he didn't pay attention to his legs.

607
00:28:36,809 --> 00:28:39,427
And Terry didn't call the cut sooner
that the girl almost drowned.

608
00:28:39,465 --> 00:28:42,148
Finally they took her out of there.
But that's how he was...

609
00:28:42,185 --> 00:28:43,745
...determined to achieve
what I wanted...

610
00:28:43,785 --> 00:28:45,760
...in real life and on screen.

611
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,349
In "Brothers," Terry had nuns
burning getting out of the bus.

612
00:29:00,393 --> 00:29:02,662
One was Grant Page:
the ugliest nun I have ever seen.

613
00:29:02,696 --> 00:29:05,380
He was the type of man
who wanted to be the best...

614
00:29:05,417 --> 00:29:07,522
...and, unfortunately,
I didn't make it...

615
00:29:07,561 --> 00:29:08,837
...but certainly
He tried a lot.

616
00:29:08,873 --> 00:29:11,807
In the thriller genre, the films
They were more international...

617
00:29:11,849 --> 00:29:14,566
...and they are made for audiences
more international.

618
00:29:14,601 --> 00:29:17,984
Ladies and gentlemen, allow us
introduce you to Patrick.

619
00:29:18,025 --> 00:29:19,650
Patrick ends up in a coma.

620
00:29:19,688 --> 00:29:21,182
He can't hear her.
He's dead.

621
00:29:21,225 --> 00:29:24,486
The young nurse begins
to suspect that he is conscious.

622
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,342
You can feel that, can't you?

623
00:29:26,377 --> 00:29:28,417
That he is not only conscious...

624
00:29:28,457 --> 00:29:31,490
...but controls people
through psychokinesis.

625
00:29:31,529 --> 00:29:34,180
Why do you do it?
What do you want?

626
00:29:34,217 --> 00:29:37,414
And it starts to turn
very unpleasant.

627
00:29:37,449 --> 00:29:40,613
I was introduced
a finished script...

628
00:29:40,649 --> 00:29:43,104
...and it really surprised me.
And then I fixed it.

629
00:29:43,145 --> 00:29:45,284
The first I knew about Richard...

630
00:29:45,321 --> 00:29:47,558
...was that he was a big fan
by Hitchcock.

631
00:29:47,593 --> 00:29:50,789
I studied the movies
of Hitchcock frame by frame.

632
00:29:50,824 --> 00:29:53,956
And basically designed "Patrick"
following that example.

633
00:29:53,992 --> 00:29:55,902
We copy "Psycho"

634
00:29:55,944 --> 00:29:58,879
...and we made him kill his mother
and her boyfriend.

635
00:30:08,265 --> 00:30:11,200
God, Patrick, your mother!

636
00:30:13,097 --> 00:30:15,169
I had to act
with a character...

637
00:30:15,209 --> 00:30:18,852
...who didn't have the slightest reaction
except for spitting.

638
00:30:18,888 --> 00:30:21,124
"Patrick" kind of appears
in "Kill Bill"

639
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,877
...when the Bride is
in a coma and spits.

640
00:30:23,912 --> 00:30:26,149
I will always remember that actor.

641
00:30:26,184 --> 00:30:28,672
I thought it looked
incredible in the movie...

642
00:30:28,712 --> 00:30:30,567
...simply with your eyes open.

643
00:30:30,601 --> 00:30:32,673
I had written the original script
that way.

644
00:30:32,713 --> 00:30:34,949
And he showed it to Uma,
and he said, "I won't do it."

645
00:30:34,985 --> 00:30:36,741
I asked him: "Why?"

646
00:30:36,776 --> 00:30:40,388
He replied: "You wouldn't have eyes
opened in that way while in a coma.

647
00:30:40,425 --> 00:30:41,854
It's not realistic."

648
00:30:41,897 --> 00:30:44,963
I rebuked: "I never really thought
whether it was realistic or not.

649
00:30:45,001 --> 00:30:48,383
They did it in 'Patrick',
and it looked great."

650
00:30:48,424 --> 00:30:51,042
I'm going to try the TES on Patrick...

651
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,862
...to see if I can get
a response to force.

652
00:30:53,897 --> 00:30:56,417
When we filmed the scene
electroshock...

653
00:30:56,456 --> 00:30:59,140
...the technical expert
that we had...

654
00:30:59,176 --> 00:31:02,024
...said, "Why don't we give him
electroshock therapy?"

655
00:31:04,168 --> 00:31:06,110
And Robert said,
"Yes, yes. Great idea."

656
00:31:06,153 --> 00:31:08,520
I had so much desire
of being able to do something.

657
00:31:09,897 --> 00:31:13,093
I wouldn't allow it, of course.
But it could have been effective.

658
00:31:13,129 --> 00:31:15,038
I think there was a moment...

659
00:31:15,081 --> 00:31:17,316
...in which perhaps they arrived
too far away.

660
00:31:17,352 --> 00:31:21,378
I think that when Robert Helpmann
eats the frogs we move on to another genre.

661
00:31:21,416 --> 00:31:22,496
He forced me.

662
00:31:22,536 --> 00:31:25,155
Every movie,
to be a great success...

663
00:31:25,192 --> 00:31:27,265
...you need to have at least
wait a moment...

664
00:31:27,304 --> 00:31:30,271
Come on, honey.
I'll take you home.

665
00:31:30,313 --> 00:31:32,222
...that everyone talks about.

666
00:31:36,841 --> 00:31:39,459
Patrick jumps out of bed
It was certainly...

667
00:31:39,497 --> 00:31:42,050
...the main reason
of his success.

668
00:31:42,089 --> 00:31:43,715
It was so successful...

669
00:31:43,753 --> 00:31:46,306
...than an Italian producer
shameless copied us...

670
00:31:46,344 --> 00:31:50,751
...and made an unauthorized sequel
called "Patrick Lives Ancora".

671
00:31:50,792 --> 00:31:54,141
I love the fact that,
at a certain point...

672
00:31:54,184 --> 00:31:56,704
...Australian films
They were so excellent...

673
00:31:56,745 --> 00:31:59,679
...than the Italians
They copied them.

674
00:31:59,721 --> 00:32:00,931
Unauthorized or not...

675
00:32:00,968 --> 00:32:02,790
...the profits of
"Patrick Lives Ancora"...

676
00:32:02,791 --> 00:32:04,613
...signal a sequel getting out of control.

677
00:32:06,793 --> 00:32:08,549
It has nothing to do
with Patrick...

678
00:32:08,584 --> 00:32:12,545
...except that from time to time they overlap
the actor's head on screen.

679
00:32:12,585 --> 00:32:14,821
I guess it has to be
flattering, yes.

680
00:32:14,857 --> 00:32:17,027
But I wish they had created
a better sequel.

681
00:32:17,063 --> 00:32:19,136
Almost everything he wrote
Everett De Roche...

682
00:32:19,176 --> 00:32:20,518
...is between me
favorite movies.

683
00:32:20,552 --> 00:32:23,007
His movie that
It would be in my five...

684
00:32:23,048 --> 00:32:25,503
...favorite Australian movies
It's "Long Weekend."

685
00:32:25,544 --> 00:32:29,538
The story is about this couple
who fights all the time...

686
00:32:29,576 --> 00:32:33,286
...and they go to the forest for the weekend
to try to save their marriage.

687
00:32:33,321 --> 00:32:36,550
Well, you're not crazy about camping,
but we are not deprived either.

688
00:32:36,584 --> 00:32:39,006
I hope not, with $2,000 worth of equipment
for camping.

689
00:32:39,048 --> 00:32:41,437
For that money, we could have
the VIP suite at the Cruz del Sur.

690
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,007
Yes, you are an authority
in hotel rooms.

691
00:32:43,049 --> 00:32:44,140
Go to hell.

692
00:32:44,141 --> 00:32:46,080
Not only do they confront each other...

693
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:48,127
...but proceed to ruin
the environment.

694
00:32:48,168 --> 00:32:51,910
and things come out
very, very bad.

695
00:32:53,448 --> 00:32:56,001
The gender in
horror movies...

696
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,374
...in which it seems to take place...

697
00:32:58,408 --> 00:32:59,586
Peter!

698
00:32:59,624 --> 00:33:02,755
...is the movie in which
Mother Nature is furious.

699
00:33:02,792 --> 00:33:06,338
Every living creature,
every blade of grass...

700
00:33:06,377 --> 00:33:08,068
...will turn against you.

701
00:33:09,064 --> 00:33:11,715
I like the idea of nature
that defends itself.

702
00:33:11,753 --> 00:33:14,142
That if people turn
extremely invasive...

703
00:33:14,185 --> 00:33:15,907
...like a cancer
in the environment...

704
00:33:15,944 --> 00:33:17,984
...nature has
your own immune system.

705
00:33:18,024 --> 00:33:20,512
One begins to get
from the animals.

706
00:33:20,552 --> 00:33:23,651
Because the most destructive...

707
00:33:23,688 --> 00:33:27,266
...scary and deadly
In this forest it is these two.

708
00:33:27,304 --> 00:33:29,889
You want them to kill
to this couple.

709
00:33:29,928 --> 00:33:32,830
But that is another strange aspect
of the movie.

710
00:33:32,872 --> 00:33:37,629
When watching the movie, things are not
exactly what they appear to be.

711
00:33:37,672 --> 00:33:40,061
They never make it clear...

712
00:33:40,105 --> 00:33:43,236
...they don't even say it out loud
if there was something strange in that forest.

713
00:33:43,272 --> 00:33:45,857
That's really great
and it costs a lot to achieve it.

714
00:33:45,895 --> 00:33:46,919
- What is that?
- Where?

715
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,010
There, in your hair.

716
00:33:48,011 --> 00:33:51,108
When it premiered, it didn't resonate
with the audiences here.

717
00:33:51,143 --> 00:33:54,177
Maybe the Australians didn't want to see each other
represented as...

718
00:33:54,216 --> 00:33:58,078
...like an ugly couple,
who is greedy and destructive.

719
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,218
Since there are many elements
of nature defending itself...

720
00:34:01,256 --> 00:34:04,736
...that seemed crazy to them
to the Australian public.

721
00:34:04,777 --> 00:34:07,526
The landscape is very familiar.
He doesn't look threatening.

722
00:34:07,561 --> 00:34:10,310
For the foreign audience,
It was very exotic.

723
00:34:10,344 --> 00:34:12,897


724
00:34:12,936 --> 00:34:14,758


725
00:34:15,911 --> 00:34:18,595
It's a real gem
undiscovered...

726
00:34:18,631 --> 00:34:21,217
...that begs to be rediscovered...

727
00:34:21,256 --> 00:34:24,420
...to take his place in the cinema
genre of the '70s.

728
00:34:24,456 --> 00:34:28,547
"Long Weekend",
an experience in terror.

729
00:34:28,584 --> 00:34:32,228
You know, the name that appears
more than any other...

730
00:34:32,265 --> 00:34:34,174
...is that of Antony I Ginnane.

731
00:34:34,216 --> 00:34:37,697
He was the producer of almost all
genre films from Australia...

732
00:34:37,736 --> 00:34:40,867
- ...that I've seen.
- They seriously misjudged him then.

733
00:34:40,905 --> 00:34:43,523
Tony Ginnate and his work
they should be burned...

734
00:34:43,561 --> 00:34:45,283
...and his ashes
mixed with salt.

735
00:34:45,319 --> 00:34:46,748
I wanted to blow things up.

736
00:34:48,424 --> 00:34:51,653
Make them chase people
with knives and weapons.

737
00:34:51,688 --> 00:34:54,917
I don't know if he is responsible
For a lot of very good cinema.

738
00:34:54,952 --> 00:34:57,538
I didn't want the audiences
they fell asleep

739
00:34:57,576 --> 00:34:59,169
I wanted to wake them up.

740
00:34:59,208 --> 00:35:02,274
He was genuinely interested.
in the creative part...

741
00:35:02,312 --> 00:35:04,549
...but many judged
that was not like that.

742
00:35:04,584 --> 00:35:07,334
Tony was a bit doubtful...

743
00:35:07,368 --> 00:35:09,092
...very liar.

744
00:35:09,128 --> 00:35:11,911
I was one of those people
that uses expressions like...

745
00:35:11,944 --> 00:35:15,456
"It turns me on a lot when you talk
of large sums of money".

746
00:35:15,496 --> 00:35:17,121
The Roger Corman
from Australia.

747
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,134
It's probably a correct way
to describe myself truthfully.

748
00:35:19,176 --> 00:35:21,216
If I see your name
as a producer...

749
00:35:21,256 --> 00:35:23,427
...in something I haven't seen,
I'm going to see it.

750
00:35:23,464 --> 00:35:26,725
Of the decadent nightlife
and the jet set records...

751
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,542
Angela plays a deadly game
of hiding.

752
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:34,174
I think Everett must have been
drinking very strange wine...

753
00:35:34,217 --> 00:35:37,762
...or taking very strange drugs
when he wrote that script.

754
00:35:37,801 --> 00:35:39,873
 �Can you imagine a premise
more absurd...

755
00:35:39,913 --> 00:35:42,563
...than the ice cream man's truck
as an instrument of evil?

756
00:35:48,136 --> 00:35:50,918
"Deadly Hideout"
It has little subtext.

757
00:35:50,951 --> 00:35:53,734
I think people felt that,
How should I take off my blouse...

758
00:35:53,768 --> 00:35:56,070
...it must have been something
That made me nervous.

759
00:35:56,104 --> 00:35:58,624
But for me it was simply
a great adventure.

760
00:35:58,664 --> 00:36:01,534
History required it given
This man's obsession.

761
00:36:01,576 --> 00:36:06,017
She enters this room and sees
this photo plastered everywhere.

762
00:36:06,056 --> 00:36:08,739
It was a certain thing to enter
and find this image of herself...

763
00:36:08,777 --> 00:36:10,533
...and then everything caught fire.

764
00:36:10,568 --> 00:36:12,837
The doubles experimented with the
water gel, which meant...

765
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:15,621
...that you could set yourself on fire
and run on fire.

766
00:36:15,655 --> 00:36:17,411
With the protagonist.

767
00:36:26,824 --> 00:36:29,922
When that really happens,
It's much more real than you think...

768
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,935
...and so the reactions
of her are very real.

769
00:36:33,928 --> 00:36:37,245
In the US they changed the title
to "The Day After Halloween"...

770
00:36:37,288 --> 00:36:39,557
...and they were Ginnane
and its people from abroad...

771
00:36:39,593 --> 00:36:41,567
...trying to capitalize
with the John Carpenter film.

772
00:36:41,609 --> 00:36:43,680
Anything that contained
"Halloween"...

773
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,542
...that could be a sequel,
okay?

774
00:36:45,575 --> 00:36:47,779
You were going to see her, and you said,
"What is this shit?"

775
00:36:47,816 --> 00:36:49,157
It had nothing to do with her.

776
00:36:49,192 --> 00:36:51,014
It's not even mentioned
Halloween night.

777
00:36:51,048 --> 00:36:52,477
It was exploitation like never before.

778
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,869
Because part of what it was to go see
every movie like that that was released...

779
00:36:55,912 --> 00:36:59,261
...was to be completely scammed
at least five times a year.

780
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:01,246
"The Day After Halloween"
It was one of those times.

781
00:37:01,288 --> 00:37:03,044
Tony stumbled upon a formula...

782
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,022
...which obviously turned out to be
very successful.

783
00:37:05,064 --> 00:37:08,479
Thriller or horror, with
a psychological or supernatural twist.

784
00:37:10,344 --> 00:37:14,467
Vampires carried
by an insatiable thirst.

785
00:37:14,504 --> 00:37:17,439
The first comment
from Ginnane was:

786
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,138
"I want you to know
from where we go...

787
00:37:19,175 --> 00:37:21,248
...that we do it for the people
of drive-ins."

788
00:37:21,287 --> 00:37:22,880
So we try to find
a sequence...

789
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,571
...that really kept
interested the audience.

790
00:37:34,824 --> 00:37:36,733
Thirst is in all of us.

791
00:37:36,776 --> 00:37:38,532
Not in me.

792
00:37:38,568 --> 00:37:40,510
In "Ansia" we brought
to David Hemmings...

793
00:37:40,552 --> 00:37:42,340
...we brought Henry Silver...

794
00:37:42,375 --> 00:37:45,375
He couldn't read his lines
without glasses...

795
00:37:45,416 --> 00:37:49,093
...which made him the only vampire
with glasses in the history of cinema.

796
00:37:49,127 --> 00:37:52,127
There's a shot in "Ansia" where
David Hemmings is in a helicopter...

797
00:37:52,167 --> 00:37:54,557
...and Henry Silver
He approaches and grabs the landing.

798
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,974
And he wouldn't come close
to the helicopter.

799
00:37:56,008 --> 00:37:57,950
"I won't get close
to that damn thing."

800
00:37:57,992 --> 00:38:01,341
Then we assemble the legs
from the helicopter to a platform.

801
00:38:01,384 --> 00:38:04,166
We said, "Henry, we'll get you up
"just a few meters."

802
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,055
It went up a little more
than he expected.

803
00:38:06,088 --> 00:38:10,082
We made it rise 21 meters
and he screamed non-stop.

804
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,803
I am sure that
It was done at 15 meters.

805
00:38:19,688 --> 00:38:22,371
Tony made movies
with a very clear effort...

806
00:38:22,408 --> 00:38:24,317
...for wanting to sell them
abroad.

807
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,247
That didn't get me
many friends...

808
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,167
...except for people
that financed me.

809
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,174
Most of these movies
It's garbage.

810
00:38:30,216 --> 00:38:32,387
I opposed them
with great vigor.

811
00:38:32,423 --> 00:38:35,042
"It's the new messah...

812
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,535
...or a demon
from another world?

813
00:38:39,112 --> 00:38:41,021
"Harlequin"
He had his dose of sex...

814
00:38:41,063 --> 00:38:44,892
...and also Broderick Crawford,
David Hemmings and Robert Powell.

815
00:38:44,936 --> 00:38:47,805
It's kind of a story
modern politics, I guess...

816
00:38:47,847 --> 00:38:50,084
...based on an update
of Rasputin's theme.

817
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:51,264
And that's it, really.

818
00:38:51,304 --> 00:38:53,442
I got excited enough
to say yes...

819
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,422
...and to travel 20,000 km.
to do it.

820
00:38:55,463 --> 00:38:57,635
Abracadabra.

821
00:38:57,672 --> 00:38:59,679
Goat legs.

822
00:39:03,816 --> 00:39:06,434
We were trying to present
the movie...

823
00:39:06,472 --> 00:39:09,920
...as happening somewhere else
outside Australia.

824
00:39:09,961 --> 00:39:11,389
It took place in No Man's Land.

825
00:39:11,431 --> 00:39:14,016
I think the attempts
to reach the US market...

826
00:39:14,056 --> 00:39:15,779
...they were often stupid.

827
00:39:15,816 --> 00:39:18,499
Hell, I don't know. They said to process it
and locked him up.

828
00:39:18,536 --> 00:39:20,903
What am I supposed to do?
Damn feds.

829
00:39:20,935 --> 00:39:22,561
We didn't see it
that way...

830
00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:25,087
...and they didn't see it that way either
international audiences.

831
00:39:25,127 --> 00:39:26,556
If you add all those films...

832
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:28,989
...they probably generated
quite a bit of money to Tony Ginnane.

833
00:39:29,032 --> 00:39:30,308
It was not like that for
the rest of us.

834
00:39:30,344 --> 00:39:31,969
Tony complied.

835
00:39:32,008 --> 00:39:36,132
He raised funds to film
and made it possible for many to do so.

836
00:39:36,168 --> 00:39:39,016
The creepy novel
by James Herbert...

837
00:39:39,048 --> 00:39:41,731
...of supernatural power
It's now a movie.

838
00:39:41,767 --> 00:39:45,280
"The Survivor" was
the first film in Australia...

839
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,392
...with a higher budget
to $1 million.

840
00:39:47,431 --> 00:39:50,781
The movie begins
with a plane that crashes.

841
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,389
It was the largest amount
gasoline...

842
00:39:59,431 --> 00:40:03,043
...and other flammable substances
never used in an Australian film.

843
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,693
It was very ambitious to build
and blow up a 747...

844
00:40:09,736 --> 00:40:13,926
...and then go into this long thing and
depth of the resurrection of the pilot.

845
00:40:13,959 --> 00:40:16,480
300 souls murdered...

846
00:40:16,519 --> 00:40:18,658
...they combine their psychic energy...

847
00:40:18,695 --> 00:40:20,637
...to hunt down his killer.

848
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,233
One of the mistakes I believe
having committed...

849
00:40:23,272 --> 00:40:26,850
...was to decrease
the amount of blood used.

850
00:40:26,888 --> 00:40:29,473
atmosphere, mystery
and ambiguity...

851
00:40:30,728 --> 00:40:33,248
...instead of slicing,
cut and kill.

852
00:40:33,287 --> 00:40:35,557
Get ready for a trip...

853
00:40:35,592 --> 00:40:38,853
...to the furthest limits
of the nightmare

854
00:40:40,295 --> 00:40:41,888
Tony had this theory...

855
00:40:41,927 --> 00:40:44,796
...that, to sell in the markets
Americans and Europeans...

856
00:40:44,839 --> 00:40:47,011
...you needed to employ actors
Americans.

857
00:40:47,047 --> 00:40:50,146
Actors who otherwise
They were in the actors' nursing home.

858
00:40:50,183 --> 00:40:52,736
I have a movie star
for you. Do you remember it?

859
00:40:52,776 --> 00:40:54,881
It was excellent
in that 1935 film.

860
00:40:54,919 --> 00:40:57,308
Do you remember it? Here it is,
and it's cheap for us.

861
00:40:57,352 --> 00:41:00,483
It was not the case of bringing
to any desperate one.

862
00:41:00,519 --> 00:41:02,592
Broderick Crawford,
Oscar winner.

863
00:41:02,632 --> 00:41:04,542
He looks at me with his eyes
very cloudy, and says:

864
00:41:04,584 --> 00:41:06,340
"Why don't you go
"Fuck?"

865
00:41:06,376 --> 00:41:08,383
Joseph Cotton,
Oscar winner.

866
00:41:08,423 --> 00:41:10,757
An extremely actor
suitable in 1940.

867
00:41:10,791 --> 00:41:13,442
Many of those actors
I liked them quite a bit.

868
00:41:13,479 --> 00:41:16,741
It was good to see them getting opportunities.
that they wouldn't have in the US.

869
00:41:16,776 --> 00:41:19,743
That was extremely unpopular.
with the Actors Union.

870
00:41:19,783 --> 00:41:22,500
It didn't make philosophical sense
nor culturally.

871
00:41:22,536 --> 00:41:25,732
And frankly, for us
It didn't make economic sense.

872
00:41:25,768 --> 00:41:27,677
To be fair,
It was obvious...

873
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,338
...that the union based
their decisions in nonsense.

874
00:41:30,376 --> 00:41:32,034
The walker plays games.

875
00:41:32,072 --> 00:41:33,981
You are not young to walk
hitchhiking alone?

876
00:41:34,024 --> 00:41:35,933
"And you are not old"
to pick me up?

877
00:41:35,976 --> 00:41:37,700
The trucker plays games.

878
00:41:37,736 --> 00:41:40,124
A torso is basically
like any other.

879
00:41:40,167 --> 00:41:42,469
Lack. It was a curve.

880
00:41:42,503 --> 00:41:45,798
And a murderer plays the game
deadliest of all.

881
00:41:48,295 --> 00:41:50,499
Everett left with the script
from "Rear Window"

882
00:41:50,536 --> 00:41:53,187
...and returned with "Rear Window"
in a truck

883
00:41:54,951 --> 00:41:57,057
I was always intrigued by the idea...

884
00:41:57,096 --> 00:41:58,885
...of what, when you leave
on a long road trip...

885
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,767
...you will pass someone
What will happen to you later...

886
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,807
...and it's like this community
of travelers.

887
00:42:03,848 --> 00:42:05,124
They make stupid jokes...

888
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,818
There is a man there
that has balls.

889
00:42:06,856 --> 00:42:10,204
...and they play stupid games
and they have this feeling of lightness...

890
00:42:10,247 --> 00:42:12,897
...against a background
of extreme violence.

891
00:42:13,607 --> 00:42:16,029
So what if he is a murderer,
and it moves systematically...

892
00:42:16,071 --> 00:42:18,755
...killing all the women he sees,
turning them tacos?

893
00:42:19,688 --> 00:42:23,365
I received the call about what they would do
this movie in Australia...

894
00:42:23,399 --> 00:42:25,090
...with a director who was...

895
00:42:25,128 --> 00:42:27,648
...Australia's Alfred Hitchcock.

896
00:42:27,687 --> 00:42:31,965
Jamie Lee was then the goddess
of this genre, the queen of the scream.

897
00:42:32,008 --> 00:42:34,430
Someone asked him:

898
00:42:34,472 --> 00:42:37,820
"What is it like to leave Australians
without work?"

899
00:42:37,863 --> 00:42:39,773
I felt then, as now...

900
00:42:39,815 --> 00:42:41,887
...that the Americans
They are garbage...

901
00:42:41,927 --> 00:42:44,294
...and that they should not approach
to our money.

902
00:42:44,327 --> 00:42:46,400
It's something that's very scary...

903
00:42:46,439 --> 00:42:51,109
...be the American on duty in something
towards which there is hostility.

904
00:42:51,143 --> 00:42:54,177
I knew there was hostility
for being the American on duty...

905
00:42:54,215 --> 00:42:56,736
...not to mention that he had taken
someone's job.

906
00:42:56,776 --> 00:42:58,205
The concept of two Americans...

907
00:42:58,247 --> 00:43:00,003
...that meet in the middle
from the Australian desert...

908
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,276
...it's a coincidence...
there is no doubt about it.

909
00:43:02,312 --> 00:43:05,094
But it worked. And there he plays
the attraction...

910
00:43:05,128 --> 00:43:09,469
...that synchronicity and coincidence
They happen in the middle of nowhere.

911
00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:12,194
Through 2,700 km.
road in the desert...

912
00:43:12,231 --> 00:43:15,297
...they play games of violence
and sudden death.

913
00:43:15,335 --> 00:43:17,244
We start filming
in Melbourne...

914
00:43:17,288 --> 00:43:19,393
...and we filmed until we reached Perth.

915
00:43:19,431 --> 00:43:23,359
The whole movie moved
across the Nullarbor Plain.

916
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,571
It was like a movie
by John Ford, you know?

917
00:43:25,608 --> 00:43:29,502
Because we were this team
desert guerrilla.

918
00:43:29,544 --> 00:43:33,318
After five days of filming,
They were four days late.

919
00:43:33,352 --> 00:43:36,167
Suddenly they reviewed
the planned shots and said:

920
00:43:36,198 --> 00:43:39,614
"We won't film this,"
and "We'll just give them four shots."

921
00:43:39,655 --> 00:43:42,338
Given the budget
and the restrictions he had...

922
00:43:42,375 --> 00:43:43,935
...it seemed to me that it had gone out
very good.

923
00:43:43,975 --> 00:43:46,146
The first murder is
absolutely fantastic...

924
00:43:46,183 --> 00:43:49,380
...with the guitar string.
All of this works with mastery.

925
00:43:49,415 --> 00:43:50,976
In fact, it is the scene in which,
When you watch the movie, you say:

926
00:43:51,015 --> 00:43:54,147
"Wow, it won't be the movie
of murders of the week.

927
00:43:54,183 --> 00:43:55,645
This is really good."

928
00:43:58,152 --> 00:44:01,567
The boat scene is probably
one of the most extraordinary.

929
00:44:01,607 --> 00:44:03,647
I saw the float race
in "Ben Hur"

930
00:44:03,687 --> 00:44:06,501
...and I have the wheels of the truck
rubbing against the boat...

931
00:44:06,535 --> 00:44:08,095
...and several more things.

932
00:44:08,135 --> 00:44:10,949
When you are going to destroy a boat,
you only have one chance.

933
00:44:10,983 --> 00:44:13,853
And he came out, thank heaven,
without problems. Cock.

934
00:44:19,623 --> 00:44:21,696
There are elements of that.
that, surely...

935
00:44:21,735 --> 00:44:23,491
...they ended up in
"The Hunter of Wolf Creek."

936
00:44:23,528 --> 00:44:26,877
The notion of adventure on the road
and meet this evil character.

937
00:44:26,919 --> 00:44:28,479
That influence
from "Deadly Highway"

938
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,981
...continues at the end
from "The Hunter of Wolf Creek."

939
00:44:30,023 --> 00:44:32,195
They could film again
"Deadly Highway" tomorrow...

940
00:44:32,231 --> 00:44:35,166
...without changing anything
and you would kill everyone with fear.

941
00:44:35,207 --> 00:44:37,825
It's an incredible movie,
really great.

942
00:44:37,863 --> 00:44:39,139
"Deadly Highway."

943
00:44:39,175 --> 00:44:41,084
If someone doesn't stop soon...

944
00:44:41,127 --> 00:44:44,640
...no one will be left alive
who to play with.

945
00:44:44,679 --> 00:44:47,199
At that time there was
an enormous sensitivity...

946
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,700
...about cultural identity.

947
00:44:48,743 --> 00:44:51,361
One of the problems
with the financing entities...

948
00:44:51,399 --> 00:44:55,142
...it was this rule that in the movie
something Australian must be sung...

949
00:44:55,175 --> 00:44:56,899
...it should smell like eucalyptus.

950
00:44:56,935 --> 00:44:59,685
They talk about em�s, and close-ups
of rubber trees...

951
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,988
...and a couple of beautiful sunsets
in the desert...

952
00:45:02,024 --> 00:45:03,485
...and that's all.
That's Australian culture.

953
00:45:03,528 --> 00:45:05,436
You can make any movie
that you like

954
00:45:05,478 --> 00:45:08,195
There is no need for it to be relegated
to what happens in the desert...

955
00:45:08,231 --> 00:45:09,343
...to be Australian.

956
00:45:09,383 --> 00:45:13,125
Critics couldn't get used to it
to the fact that some filmmakers...

957
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:17,665
...they made films that they saw as
exclusively American genre.

958
00:45:17,703 --> 00:45:21,281
Look carefully now, but don't
They dare to look behind their backs.

959
00:45:21,319 --> 00:45:24,636
Just feel the chill
on the back of the neck

960
00:45:24,679 --> 00:45:27,461
I thought, "If I'm going to make a movie
horror with guts...

961
00:45:27,496 --> 00:45:29,863
...there's no point in being subtle, and I thought
that I would like to slice...

962
00:45:29,895 --> 00:45:31,488
...bare back
of a girl...

963
00:45:31,528 --> 00:45:33,088
...that just caught
in the makeup room.

964
00:45:35,879 --> 00:45:39,228
When John has a topic...
he likes to continue it.

965
00:45:39,270 --> 00:45:41,987
They asked,
"What role would you like?"

966
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:45,086
And I said, "Judy, maybe."

967
00:45:45,127 --> 00:45:48,957
She's the only one they don't kill
while he's fucking."

968
00:45:50,439 --> 00:45:53,887
Not one of my best
moments on screen...

969
00:45:53,927 --> 00:45:56,796
...and it is very far away
of the content...

970
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,622
...which is philosophically directed
to the human condition...

971
00:46:00,328 --> 00:46:01,986
...and contributes in that way.

972
00:46:02,023 --> 00:46:04,127
many movies
They promise you terror...

973
00:46:04,167 --> 00:46:07,363
...but "Nightmares"
It's really scary.

974
00:46:07,399 --> 00:46:11,555
The great danger of being a filmmaker
Australian of gender, I think...

975
00:46:11,591 --> 00:46:16,293
...is that you can easily fall
in the American derivative pattern.

976
00:46:16,327 --> 00:46:18,563
I felt that
"Howls: The Return"

977
00:46:18,599 --> 00:46:21,316
...used an established genre
from Hollywood...

978
00:46:21,351 --> 00:46:24,134
...and turned it into a comedy
Australian.

979
00:46:26,279 --> 00:46:29,029
Good morning.
Do you want to grill shrimp?

980
00:46:29,063 --> 00:46:31,136
The terror of "Howls" continues...

981
00:46:31,175 --> 00:46:34,916
...with new werewolves
in "Howls: The Return".

982
00:46:34,950 --> 00:46:37,187
Imogen Ainsley
It was the wolf girl.

983
00:46:37,222 --> 00:46:40,419
The second choice for the role
It was Nicole Kidman...

984
00:46:40,455 --> 00:46:42,844
...but it wasn't enough
werewolf woman for me.

985
00:46:42,886 --> 00:46:45,221
I didn't have that essence
lupine that we needed.

986
00:46:46,279 --> 00:46:48,351
There are many ridiculous things
in that movie.

987
00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:50,944
My favorite is the dancer
who becomes a werewolf.

988
00:46:52,936 --> 00:46:55,357
There is a scene with her
in bed...

989
00:46:55,399 --> 00:46:58,399
...where you dream that something comes out
from his marsupial pouch.

990
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,946
The head of the werewolf that emerged
It was a reference to "Alien."

991
00:47:04,934 --> 00:47:07,837
For me it's more fun
It is the marsupial birth.

992
00:47:07,879 --> 00:47:10,748
I studied Australian documentaries
very boring...

993
00:47:10,791 --> 00:47:12,678
...about birth
of kangaroos.

994
00:47:12,711 --> 00:47:15,361
And I was trying to determine
how to achieve it with Bob McCarron...

995
00:47:15,399 --> 00:47:17,439
...and he said to me: "Why?"
we don't put a mouse...

996
00:47:17,479 --> 00:47:19,389
...in a fetus costume
of a werewolf?"

997
00:47:19,431 --> 00:47:22,114
I responded: "Good idea."
So we take this mouse...

998
00:47:22,151 --> 00:47:24,485
...and we disguised it as a fetus
of werewolf.

999
00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:27,486
Imogen started screaming, and the mouse
He started running everywhere...

1000
00:47:27,527 --> 00:47:29,382
...and Bob said, "We'll have
than to sedate the mouse."

1001
00:47:29,416 --> 00:47:31,172
So we called
to the nurse.

1002
00:47:31,207 --> 00:47:33,727
I injected the poor mouse
and fell dead.

1003
00:47:33,766 --> 00:47:37,344
And we said, "Use less sedative."
She apologized.

1004
00:47:37,383 --> 00:47:40,230
We get another mouse,
we used a little sedative...

1005
00:47:40,263 --> 00:47:42,499
...it was impossible to put the mouse
to the bag...

1006
00:47:42,535 --> 00:47:44,477
...then I put the mouse
in the bag...

1007
00:47:44,519 --> 00:47:46,756
...I filmed it in reverse,
and, of course, he came out.

1008
00:47:46,791 --> 00:47:49,246
- So everything was fine.
- We all knew it was trash.

1009
00:47:53,031 --> 00:47:54,591
We knew that everything was
a joke

1010
00:47:56,871 --> 00:47:59,522
It managed to be released in theaters
to the surprise of many.

1011
00:47:59,559 --> 00:48:02,210
- That's an understatement.
- The "New York Times" said:

1012
00:48:02,247 --> 00:48:05,280
"If you are going to see a movie
of werewolves, see this one.

1013
00:48:05,318 --> 00:48:08,515
I used to get fed up
receive these criticisms...

1014
00:48:08,551 --> 00:48:12,129
...of why we did
these films in Australia.

1015
00:48:12,166 --> 00:48:15,996
There is not enough money,
and we only make Sub B class movies.

1016
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:18,974
Leave it to the Americans,
that make them better.

1017
00:48:19,015 --> 00:48:20,608
And I think that's garbage.

1018
00:48:20,647 --> 00:48:25,219
I don't remember trying to compete
with the Americans.

1019
00:48:25,255 --> 00:48:29,411
It was really filming
what was true.

1020
00:48:29,447 --> 00:48:31,552
I really liked it a lot
Russell Mulcahy.

1021
00:48:31,591 --> 00:48:34,241
It seemed to me that it was
the poor man's Ridley Scott.

1022
00:48:34,279 --> 00:48:37,792
From the most popular new director
from Australia, Russell Mulcahy...

1023
00:48:37,830 --> 00:48:39,107
"The Fangs of Hell."

1024
00:48:41,318 --> 00:48:44,133
It only has two states:
dangerous or dead.

1025
00:48:45,383 --> 00:48:48,863
Bob McCarron had
a huge boar.

1026
00:48:48,903 --> 00:48:52,099
And Russell said, "It shouldn't be
much bigger?

1027
00:48:52,135 --> 00:48:54,044
"One or two more meters,
at least?"

1028
00:48:54,087 --> 00:48:56,957
We responded,
"Yes. That would be great."

1029
00:48:58,311 --> 00:48:59,402
And we did it.

1030
00:48:59,403 --> 00:49:01,473
And thinking about it better,
It probably wasn't necessary.

1031
00:49:01,510 --> 00:49:03,234
A $100 million movie
with a $10 pig.

1032
00:49:06,471 --> 00:49:08,959
literally came
in a kind of wheelbarrow.

1033
00:49:11,463 --> 00:49:13,088
Gregory had teeth...

1034
00:49:13,127 --> 00:49:16,160
...very close to the face,
trying to tear it off.

1035
00:49:16,199 --> 00:49:20,028
And that saliva was
a grotesque combination of...

1036
00:49:20,070 --> 00:49:22,459
Well we used to make jokes
of sperm about it.

1037
00:49:22,503 --> 00:49:23,713
It was really disgusting.

1038
00:49:23,751 --> 00:49:27,875
There were many times when I had
doubts about what he had done.

1039
00:49:28,935 --> 00:49:31,171
I had a huge scene
with a mechanical pig...

1040
00:49:31,206 --> 00:49:32,962
...in which basically
It destroyed me.

1041
00:49:39,846 --> 00:49:42,465
Then one thinks:
"That was really stupid.

1042
00:49:42,502 --> 00:49:45,055
I could have hurt myself
seriously in that car."

1043
00:49:45,094 --> 00:49:47,004
You don't believe that a film
about a giant monster pig...

1044
00:49:47,047 --> 00:49:49,731
...would have a visual aesthetic
so wonderful...

1045
00:49:49,767 --> 00:49:51,677
...but Russell really did
the effort.

1046
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,272
I jumped over abysses
of absent dialogue...

1047
00:49:54,311 --> 00:49:56,482
...and absent subtext,
and he said:

1048
00:49:56,519 --> 00:49:58,526
"Yes, but there is smoke
coming out of the fan.

1049
00:49:58,567 --> 00:50:00,476
and I need you
move fast...

1050
00:50:00,518 --> 00:50:03,814
...because the smoke begins to disappear
if we don't hurry."

1051
00:50:03,846 --> 00:50:06,716
How do you act with that?
You can't act with smoke.

1052
00:50:08,615 --> 00:50:10,175
Russell encouraged me to believe...

1053
00:50:10,214 --> 00:50:12,581
...that they wouldn't listen to the dialogue
as much as I thought...

1054
00:50:12,615 --> 00:50:14,688
...because the images
They will be spectacular.

1055
00:50:14,727 --> 00:50:16,156
It's horrible to say that.

1056
00:50:16,199 --> 00:50:19,166
"Don't say the dialogue,
The images will surpass you.

1057
00:50:19,207 --> 00:50:20,636
"No one will be watching you."

1058
00:50:24,998 --> 00:50:27,333
It was clearly commercial.
with "C" may�scula...

1059
00:50:27,367 --> 00:50:31,458
...and many will say that he had very little
intellectual but artistic merit.

1060
00:50:33,094 --> 00:50:35,614
I think when
They ran over the dog...

1061
00:50:35,655 --> 00:50:38,044


1062
00:50:38,086 --> 00:50:41,283
I saw how many executives
They left the cinema.

1063
00:50:41,318 --> 00:50:43,489
- Why did you do it?
- I don't know.

1064
00:50:44,775 --> 00:50:49,030
So I learned that it is not good
killing dogs in movies.

1065
00:50:49,958 --> 00:50:53,537
We had to work with judgment
commercial with a capital C...

1066
00:50:53,575 --> 00:50:56,837
...and, in that regard, there were films
bigger and better Americans.

1067
00:50:56,871 --> 00:50:58,530
I think the problem
from "The Fangs of Hell"

1068
00:50:58,567 --> 00:51:01,021
...it was style over substance.
But there is a lot of style.

1069
00:51:02,406 --> 00:51:04,740
It's not that I was trying to make it seem
a long video...

1070
00:51:04,774 --> 00:51:06,203
...that was my style.

1071
00:51:06,246 --> 00:51:08,767
And that was seen as something
detrimental then...

1072
00:51:08,806 --> 00:51:10,693
...where now it would be
an absolute benefit.

1073
00:51:12,038 --> 00:51:14,143
Maybe that's why it has resisted
the passage of time...

1074
00:51:14,182 --> 00:51:17,379
...because it has gradually evolved
filming style...

1075
00:51:17,415 --> 00:51:18,844
...which is now
much more modern.

1076
00:51:20,199 --> 00:51:23,134
There is an animal loose
that is hunting us.

1077
00:51:23,175 --> 00:51:25,444
Halfway through writing the script
from "River of Blood"...

1078
00:51:25,478 --> 00:51:28,577
...I discovered there was a movie
Australian on a crocodile...

1079
00:51:28,615 --> 00:51:30,043
...called "Crocodile Hunter".

1080
00:51:34,662 --> 00:51:38,012
I really believe that if you released
"Crocodile Hunter" tomorrow...

1081
00:51:38,055 --> 00:51:40,356
...in 2,000 cinemas,
people would go see it.

1082
00:51:42,502 --> 00:51:45,055
The only negative thing is that the crocodile
It's not very good.

1083
00:51:45,223 --> 00:51:48,322
I had to link my head,
and he came near and did...

1084
00:51:51,910 --> 00:51:54,496
and I try to do
It seems frantic, you know.

1085
00:51:55,687 --> 00:51:59,035
The crocodile was supposed to
moved at a reasonable speed.

1086
00:51:59,078 --> 00:52:01,052
I guess that can
have depended...

1087
00:52:01,094 --> 00:52:02,687
...of your definition
reasonable speed.

1088
00:52:02,726 --> 00:52:04,701
I managed to
the legs will work...

1089
00:52:04,742 --> 00:52:06,913
...and we ran with him
as if it were a labrador dog.

1090
00:52:06,951 --> 00:52:09,765
And his legs moved like this...

1091
00:52:09,798 --> 00:52:12,416
...and we told him:
"Come on, Numminwarry.

1092
00:52:12,455 --> 00:52:14,724
Let's go.

1093
00:52:14,758 --> 00:52:16,035
Enter the swamp."

1094
00:52:16,070 --> 00:52:18,274
They put him in the water
and it was fried.

1095
00:52:19,687 --> 00:52:22,021
There were cases of crocodiles
eating people...

1096
00:52:22,055 --> 00:52:24,870
...and it seemed to me that it would be
a wonderful opportunity...

1097
00:52:24,902 --> 00:52:26,659
...to see if I could come back
to buy "Crocodile Hunter".

1098
00:52:29,126 --> 00:52:31,614
But I couldn't convince
to Hoyts or Village...

1099
00:52:31,654 --> 00:52:34,524
...so it's one of those works
forgotten teachers.

1100
00:52:34,566 --> 00:52:37,501
These movies are relegated
to the dusty shelves...

1101
00:52:37,542 --> 00:52:38,971
...from video stores,
if possible.

1102
00:52:45,126 --> 00:52:47,843
There is a wonderful Australian movie
horror movie called "Next of Kin."

1103
00:52:47,879 --> 00:52:50,912
I was less interested in blood...

1104
00:52:50,951 --> 00:52:53,471
...and everything you didn't know
what was happening...

1105
00:52:53,511 --> 00:52:55,104
...and more fear, I guess.

1106
00:53:03,974 --> 00:53:07,105
The movie I love most
reminds you is "The Shining."

1107
00:53:08,295 --> 00:53:11,644
"Next of Kin" has a tone
and similar sensations...

1108
00:53:11,686 --> 00:53:14,719
...which is an incredible compliment
what to do to a movie.

1109
00:53:14,759 --> 00:53:16,068
And I don't praise her
excessively.

1110
00:53:19,303 --> 00:53:21,986
What I remember most
from "Next of Kin"

1111
00:53:22,023 --> 00:53:24,325
...is the final shot.

1112
00:53:24,359 --> 00:53:26,945
The idea was that the camera
came down from above...

1113
00:53:26,983 --> 00:53:28,543
...when the girl came out
from the cafeteria.

1114
00:53:28,582 --> 00:53:30,240
The camera moves to the side
back of the truck...

1115
00:53:30,277 --> 00:53:31,870
...until we see her
through the rear window.

1116
00:53:31,910 --> 00:53:34,081
And when you return to where
we had just been...

1117
00:53:34,118 --> 00:53:35,711
...the building explodes.

1118
00:53:35,750 --> 00:53:37,441
The type of special effects
I pressed the button...

1119
00:53:37,478 --> 00:53:39,388
...and we had not
moved the camera.

1120
00:53:39,430 --> 00:53:42,561
And so, the initial explosion
It is reflected in the poster...

1121
00:53:42,599 --> 00:53:44,966
...and, by the time we take it,
It was almost over.

1122
00:53:44,998 --> 00:53:47,966
But when the public saw her,
He said, "We love that final shot."

1123
00:53:48,007 --> 00:53:50,909
Don't see the explosion until the end
It was great self-control.

1124
00:53:50,950 --> 00:53:52,379
It was brilliant.

1125
00:53:52,422 --> 00:53:55,554
Many of us despised
genre films...

1126
00:53:55,590 --> 00:53:57,826
...there is no doubt about that.
We did not approve of them.

1127
00:53:57,861 --> 00:53:59,771
For some reason,
in this country...

1128
00:53:59,814 --> 00:54:02,465
..."commercial" has always been
bad word

1129
00:54:02,502 --> 00:54:04,957
You go to places like
the Cannes Film Festival...

1130
00:54:04,998 --> 00:54:07,649
...90% of the movies
They are exploitative.

1131
00:54:07,686 --> 00:54:10,883
There are art films, and sex films,
and monsters and all that.

1132
00:54:10,918 --> 00:54:13,536
And they can't get
let them release them.

1133
00:54:13,575 --> 00:54:15,909
The totally commercial
It's not that simple.

1134
00:54:18,950 --> 00:54:23,685
HIGH OCTANE,
DISASTERS AND KUNG FU MASTERS

1135
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,547
If you grew up watching movies
Australian gender...

1136
00:54:27,590 --> 00:54:30,011
...you will have the following ideas:

1137
00:54:30,053 --> 00:54:32,606
One, there are deserts
everywhere.

1138
00:54:33,830 --> 00:54:36,514
And two, groups of homeless people
abusive...

1139
00:54:36,550 --> 00:54:39,038
...in cars that never
they could afford.

1140
00:54:39,078 --> 00:54:43,039
Cunning mechanical monsters
that wander along the route...

1141
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:45,500
...looking for people
to harass, yes?

1142
00:54:45,542 --> 00:54:47,998
Women to rape,
and guys to beat up.

1143
00:54:50,343 --> 00:54:52,131
They appear in love stories.

1144
00:54:52,167 --> 00:54:53,377
You hurt my car.

1145
00:54:55,622 --> 00:54:58,338
They appear in a movie
about a giant pig.

1146
00:54:58,374 --> 00:55:01,309
They walk through the countryside looking for people
to fuck

1147
00:55:03,174 --> 00:55:04,603
The Gravediggers move.

1148
00:55:04,646 --> 00:55:06,654
A new type
motorcycle gang.

1149
00:55:06,694 --> 00:55:08,996
Someone wants them dead.

1150
00:55:09,030 --> 00:55:10,885
And the police sent Stone.

1151
00:55:10,918 --> 00:55:12,958
I've seen the guy.
He's a pig.

1152
00:55:12,998 --> 00:55:16,893
"Stone" certainly didn't look like
to nothing out of Australian cinema.

1153
00:55:17,542 --> 00:55:20,858
It's a trip
to an alternative culture.

1154
00:55:20,902 --> 00:55:23,772
Rock and roll culture.
And that was the kind of attitude...

1155
00:55:23,814 --> 00:55:25,188
One of my favorite shots...

1156
00:55:25,189 --> 00:55:27,162
...in the history of
biker movies...

1157
00:55:27,205 --> 00:55:29,661
...it's that funeral procession.

1158
00:55:33,861 --> 00:55:37,374
You saw that shot, and you said:
"My God, what a movie."

1159
00:55:37,414 --> 00:55:40,163
The police and the gang
of motorcyclists.

1160
00:55:40,198 --> 00:55:41,692
Two lifestyles
that collide.

1161
00:55:42,247 --> 00:55:44,996
In a suspense thriller
unpredictable.

1162
00:55:45,030 --> 00:55:47,102
Risk taking
by Peter Armstrong...

1163
00:55:47,143 --> 00:55:50,656
...it's the most incredible thing I've ever seen
make a human being.

1164
00:55:58,086 --> 00:56:00,355
I knocked him out.

1165
00:56:00,389 --> 00:56:03,106
It was the most impact
strong of my life.

1166
00:56:03,142 --> 00:56:07,899
I was bruised everywhere
for two weeks.

1167
00:56:07,942 --> 00:56:11,139
And very sore.
But the shot justified it.

1168
00:56:11,174 --> 00:56:13,029
While we were doing
the movie, I thought:

1169
00:56:13,062 --> 00:56:14,491
"Let's ruin it."

1170
00:56:17,255 --> 00:56:19,393
It was a roller coaster.

1171
00:56:19,431 --> 00:56:22,911
What I decided to do was form
a motorcycle club...

1172
00:56:22,950 --> 00:56:25,251
...and film the movie
like a club

1173
00:56:25,286 --> 00:56:29,410
It was so sexist in production
as was the world it portrayed.

1174
00:56:29,445 --> 00:56:31,038
Shut your mouth, whore.

1175
00:56:31,078 --> 00:56:33,314
The actors hugged
the reality...

1176
00:56:33,350 --> 00:56:35,771
...to become a gang
of motorcyclists.

1177
00:56:35,813 --> 00:56:37,340
The women did
what they told them...

1178
00:56:37,382 --> 00:56:39,869
...and the boys seemed to be
the only ones who had fun.

1179
00:56:39,910 --> 00:56:43,139
I can't say I enjoyed it
work on it.

1180
00:56:43,174 --> 00:56:45,247
we had a scene
extraordinary...

1181
00:56:45,286 --> 00:56:49,029
...which took 25 hours to film,
where we smoke real marijuana.

1182
00:56:49,062 --> 00:56:50,524
But it was a radical film.

1183
00:56:50,566 --> 00:56:53,599
Many of the sequences
They involved the Hell's Angels.

1184
00:56:53,639 --> 00:56:56,540
I went out to the hotel balcony
and I screamed with all my voice...

1185
00:56:56,581 --> 00:56:59,615
"All Hell's Angels
They are whores."

1186
00:56:59,654 --> 00:57:02,272
That's when I believed
that they would kill us.

1187
00:57:02,310 --> 00:57:04,382
you have to be stupid
so as not to scare you.

1188
00:57:04,422 --> 00:57:06,494
 �A group of motorcyclists
rude?

1189
00:57:07,589 --> 00:57:09,313
Nothing will stop them.

1190
00:57:09,350 --> 00:57:11,489
There was a fight scene
outside the bar.

1191
00:57:11,526 --> 00:57:13,698
It was supposed to be
a big fight...

1192
00:57:13,734 --> 00:57:15,490
...which ended up being
a great fight.

1193
00:57:15,526 --> 00:57:18,526
The remuneration
from the Hell's Angels...

1194
00:57:18,566 --> 00:57:20,705
...unfortunately,
It was beer.

1195
00:57:20,742 --> 00:57:23,644
They got angry that night
and they beat everyone in sight.

1196
00:57:23,686 --> 00:57:25,147
There was a guy with two girls...

1197
00:57:25,189 --> 00:57:27,426
...and started arguing with one
of the club members.

1198
00:57:27,461 --> 00:57:28,553
What is your problem?

1199
00:57:28,554 --> 00:57:30,364
He told her stupid things,
like "Fuck you."

1200
00:57:30,406 --> 00:57:32,894
And they ripped him off
the scalp.

1201
00:57:32,934 --> 00:57:35,006
I have never seen so much blood
in my life.

1202
00:57:35,046 --> 00:57:37,282
I was through the roof
and the walls.

1203
00:57:37,318 --> 00:57:40,995
you are not very good
for public relations, right?

1204
00:57:41,030 --> 00:57:43,365
Sandy waited,
in a way...

1205
00:57:43,398 --> 00:57:48,003
...something dangerous would happen
to be able to film it.

1206
00:57:48,038 --> 00:57:51,868
He made the total commitment
to embrace rebellion.

1207
00:57:51,910 --> 00:57:53,154
Cut!

1208
00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:55,361
The director of "Stone"
It's Sandy Harbutt.

1209
00:57:55,397 --> 00:57:57,786
He is one of the protagonists
of the movie.

1210
00:57:57,829 --> 00:58:00,612
Co-wrote the script
and, consequently...

1211
00:58:00,645 --> 00:58:03,329
..."Stone" is an author's piece.

1212
00:58:03,366 --> 00:58:06,083
He is a true visionary...

1213
00:58:06,118 --> 00:58:08,573
...which really has
what is needed...

1214
00:58:08,614 --> 00:58:11,331
...and really delivers
a huge impact.

1215
00:58:15,014 --> 00:58:18,527
After all the great things
that occur in "Stone"...

1216
00:58:18,566 --> 00:58:22,723
...it simply has, perhaps, the end
more authentic and realistic...

1217
00:58:22,759 --> 00:58:26,369
...from a biker movie
in the history of cinema.

1218
00:58:28,774 --> 00:58:31,457
They basically almost killed him
with kicks and stomps.

1219
00:58:31,494 --> 00:58:34,276
But he understands
the motorcyclist code.

1220
00:58:34,310 --> 00:58:35,739
No police.

1221
00:58:35,782 --> 00:58:37,691
After receiving his beating,
He realizes it.

1222
00:58:37,733 --> 00:58:39,643
He knows he deserved it.

1223
00:58:39,686 --> 00:58:42,239
He wanted her respect.
Hopefully, he made it.

1224
00:58:42,278 --> 00:58:45,758
I guess he becomes one of them.
by accepting punishment.

1225
00:58:45,798 --> 00:58:48,319
Critics and motorcyclists alike
They have acclaimed her...

1226
00:58:48,358 --> 00:58:50,976
...like the first honest evaluation
of your lifestyle.

1227
00:58:52,549 --> 00:58:53,572
Go on the trip.

1228
00:58:53,573 --> 00:58:56,573
Rolling, speed, alarm,
mark, take six...

1229
00:58:56,614 --> 00:58:58,915
...makeup ready and action.

1230
00:58:58,949 --> 00:59:01,535
They called him Mad Dog Morgan.

1231
00:59:01,574 --> 00:59:03,363
The criminal of criminals.

1232
00:59:03,430 --> 00:59:05,666
we wanted to find
a personality...

1233
00:59:05,702 --> 00:59:09,051
...that echoed in American cinema,
of western movies.

1234
00:59:09,094 --> 00:59:12,477
Dennis Hopper is
Mad Dog Morgan.

1235
00:59:12,518 --> 00:59:16,348
We loved having the actor
from "I'm looking for my destiny" as Mad Dog.

1236
00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:17,819
We have a bandit
genuine.

1237
00:59:17,862 --> 00:59:20,098
Little did we know what to have
to the real article...

1238
00:59:20,134 --> 00:59:22,108
...filming the movie would be complicated
a little.

1239
00:59:22,149 --> 00:59:23,709
Hey horse, come back here.

1240
00:59:23,750 --> 00:59:26,881
I said come back or I'll break you
head with this.

1241
00:59:26,917 --> 00:59:28,772
Mad Dog Morgan
He was a psychopath...

1242
00:59:28,806 --> 00:59:31,741
...and Dennis contributed
that intensity.

1243
00:59:31,782 --> 00:59:33,691
It was easy.

1244
00:59:33,734 --> 00:59:36,189
I don't know if it's easy,
but it was obvious.

1245
00:59:36,230 --> 00:59:39,874
An arrogant son of a bitch, who talked
with an Irish accent all the time.

1246
00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:41,022
I am "Searching for My Destiny".

1247
00:59:41,062 --> 00:59:43,037
Dennis was an actor
completely of method.

1248
00:59:43,078 --> 00:59:44,387
I have come for opium.

1249
00:59:44,421 --> 00:59:47,553
That was convenient for him,
because Mad Dog drank a lot of rum...

1250
00:59:47,590 --> 00:59:49,729
...what Dennis had researched
before arriving.

1251
00:59:49,766 --> 00:59:51,871
That part turned out well for me,
sure.

1252
00:59:51,909 --> 00:59:53,731
He was arrested and imprisoned...

1253
00:59:53,766 --> 00:59:56,286
...the first night
after arriving in Sydney.

1254
00:59:56,325 --> 00:59:58,846
I was already fighting
in the pubs.

1255
00:59:58,885 --> 01:00:00,641
He took a lot of cocaine...

1256
01:00:00,678 --> 01:00:03,842
...and started drinking when he woke up,
which was very early.

1257
01:00:03,877 --> 01:00:05,568
And he fainted in the middle
of the scenes.

1258
01:00:05,605 --> 01:00:07,994
I was 39 years old when we filmed
this movie.

1259
01:00:08,038 --> 01:00:09,947
I really believed that
I wouldn't live to be 40.

1260
01:00:09,989 --> 01:00:11,451
David disappeared completely.

1261
01:00:11,494 --> 01:00:13,796
Four days later,
They brought him back.

1262
01:00:13,829 --> 01:00:16,928
I told him: "You can't go for a walk
in the middle of filming.

1263
01:00:16,966 --> 01:00:18,656
"It's been a big problem."

1264
01:00:18,694 --> 01:00:22,468
He replied: "I had to ask them
to the birds and trees above Dennis."

1265
01:00:22,501 --> 01:00:24,574
He asked: "Really?
"What did they tell you?"

1266
01:00:24,613 --> 01:00:28,607
"Well all the birds and the trees
"They say Dennis is crazy."

1267
01:00:28,645 --> 01:00:31,493
I rebuked: "David, I could have told you that
"I said."

1268
01:00:34,726 --> 01:00:37,213
When I got to that 151� rum

1269
01:00:37,254 --> 01:00:40,003
...I was definitely on my way
from hell

1270
01:00:40,038 --> 01:00:42,721
I will take them to the desert,
to Australia...

1271
01:00:42,758 --> 01:00:44,700
...where there are 17 women
for every man.

1272
01:00:44,742 --> 01:00:47,426
Forget about rehearsals...
be ready for anything.

1273
01:00:47,462 --> 01:00:49,437
He went behind the scenes.

1274
01:00:49,478 --> 01:00:52,325
It was, "Or you follow me on the train,
or you will disappear."

1275
01:00:52,357 --> 01:00:54,878
We were ready to film and I told him:
"Dennis, where are your boots?"

1276
01:00:54,917 --> 01:00:57,732
"Fuck the boots, man.
"I'm Mad Dog Morgan."

1277
01:00:57,765 --> 01:01:01,595
"I know you are, but yesterday
Mad Dog had boots on.

1278
01:01:01,637 --> 01:01:04,288
It's the same scene.
"These are not magic boots."

1279
01:01:04,325 --> 01:01:06,714
He's fired.
Get off set.

1280
01:01:06,758 --> 01:01:08,416
Here we go.
Silence, please.

1281
01:01:08,453 --> 01:01:11,323
There was a scene where
Mad Dog Morgan dies.

1282
01:01:11,366 --> 01:01:14,333
And there was an old actor who had
Than put your head on your chest...

1283
01:01:14,374 --> 01:01:17,407
- ...look up and say: "He died."
- Died.

1284
01:01:17,446 --> 01:01:19,813
Dennis was obviously still alive...
made chirps.

1285
01:01:19,846 --> 01:01:22,234
And then I said, "What's wrong?"
"He's obviously not dead."

1286
01:01:22,277 --> 01:01:25,147
He responded: "Look, I needed
the money. I didn't tell anyone.

1287
01:01:25,189 --> 01:01:27,840
I am completely deaf
and I can't see anything.

1288
01:01:27,877 --> 01:01:30,747
But I have an idea.
Get a six meter pole...

1289
01:01:30,789 --> 01:01:32,960
...and when they want me to say 'Died',
tag me with him."

1290
01:01:32,998 --> 01:01:34,459
"It's an excellent idea."

1291
01:01:34,502 --> 01:01:38,658
Then Dennis dies,
I touch the guy... "He died." Perfect.

1292
01:01:38,694 --> 01:01:41,279
And then Dennis
he gets up and says:

1293
01:01:41,318 --> 01:01:43,707
"Listen, I've worked
with motherfuckers in my life.

1294
01:01:43,750 --> 01:01:46,816
I have worked with directors
really unfortunate.

1295
01:01:46,854 --> 01:01:49,603
But I have never worked
with an unfortunate...

1296
01:01:49,638 --> 01:01:51,709
...that hits the actors
with a stick

1297
01:01:51,749 --> 01:01:53,658
What was that?
What are you doing?

1298
01:01:53,701 --> 01:01:55,741
We are not puppets,
"We are not animals."

1299
01:01:55,781 --> 01:01:59,938
I proceeded to take a bottle
whole 151� rum

1300
01:01:59,974 --> 01:02:04,000
...and decided to destroy the cemetery.

1301
01:02:04,037 --> 01:02:06,306
So Dennis
got behind the wheel...

1302
01:02:06,342 --> 01:02:08,797
...and announced that it used to be
car racer

1303
01:02:08,837 --> 01:02:11,707
The police arrest him,
and he is dressed as Mad Dog.

1304
01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:13,408
They pronounced me dead.

1305
01:02:13,446 --> 01:02:16,446
They said: "You are dead.
You have so much...

1306
01:02:16,486 --> 01:02:19,834
With the amount of alcohol
in your body... you are dead".

1307
01:02:19,877 --> 01:02:21,917
So that was
the good news.

1308
01:02:21,957 --> 01:02:24,543
"Not only do you not know
will allow driving...

1309
01:02:24,581 --> 01:02:26,305
...in the state of Victoria"...

1310
01:02:26,341 --> 01:02:28,829
They would never allow me
be a passenger in a car.

1311
01:02:28,869 --> 01:02:30,942
... "and you will be taken away
directly to the airport."

1312
01:02:30,981 --> 01:02:34,364
Now that I think about it, I have no idea
of how we finished the movie.

1313
01:02:34,405 --> 01:02:36,991
We didn't go over budget
nor the proposed period.

1314
01:02:37,029 --> 01:02:39,396
It's like they have magic.

1315
01:02:39,430 --> 01:02:41,666
It's your money or your life,
in that order.

1316
01:02:41,702 --> 01:02:43,644
When government officials...

1317
01:02:43,686 --> 01:02:46,817
...they saw Max Fairchild
raping Dennis Hopper...

1318
01:02:46,854 --> 01:02:49,341
...and the massacre of the Chinese...

1319
01:02:49,381 --> 01:02:52,959
...some almost had a heart attack.
They said it was a disaster.

1320
01:02:52,997 --> 01:02:55,680
And it was they who said
that I wouldn't earn a cent.

1321
01:02:55,717 --> 01:02:58,172
And then, "Mad Dog" was the only film
to be sold at Cannes that year...

1322
01:02:58,213 --> 01:03:00,930
...and it was released in the US.
in 40 theaters.

1323
01:03:00,966 --> 01:03:03,235
It was the first Australian film
to get a premiere like that.

1324
01:03:03,269 --> 01:03:07,525
Smarter, faster and more violent
than an army of police.

1325
01:03:07,557 --> 01:03:11,616
Finally, this is the truth
by Mad Dog Morgan.

1326
01:03:11,654 --> 01:03:14,337
It became clear to me
that the action...

1327
01:03:14,373 --> 01:03:17,690
...was the universal currency in
the film market.

1328
01:03:17,734 --> 01:03:20,067
And the action...

1329
01:03:20,101 --> 01:03:23,036
...transcended all barriers
of language.

1330
01:03:23,077 --> 01:03:27,332
A good fight works the same way
good in Hong Kong,

1331
01:03:27,365 --> 01:03:30,049
...Australia, Iceland...

1332
01:03:30,085 --> 01:03:32,802
...Argentina... everywhere.

1333
01:03:32,837 --> 01:03:36,001
kung fu movies
Bruce Lee's were very popular...

1334
01:03:36,037 --> 01:03:38,274
...and Brian thought:
"Why not here?"

1335
01:03:38,309 --> 01:03:39,902
Why not
about Ayers Rock?"

1336
01:03:58,181 --> 01:04:00,221
The movie is excellent.

1337
01:04:00,261 --> 01:04:03,327
It is very good and is current
to this day.

1338
01:04:03,366 --> 01:04:05,787
This is Inspector Fang Sen Lan
from Hong Kong.

1339
01:04:05,830 --> 01:04:08,317
A Chinese Dirty Harry
coming to Australia...

1340
01:04:08,358 --> 01:04:11,009
...and destroy the place in the name
of justice.

1341
01:04:11,046 --> 01:04:12,704
"Don't worry about what
He may have said.

1342
01:04:12,742 --> 01:04:14,018
Don't worry
for gathering evidence.

1343
01:04:14,054 --> 01:04:15,330
No, man, just"...

1344
01:04:16,550 --> 01:04:19,811
The international Asian superstar,
Jimmy Wang Yu...

1345
01:04:19,844 --> 01:04:22,561
...arrives in Sydney to star
"The Dragon Flies High."

1346
01:04:22,597 --> 01:04:25,597
Jimmy Wang Yu is considered
the Steve McQueen of Asia.

1347
01:04:25,637 --> 01:04:29,215
- Jimmy was horrible.
- A nasty guy.

1348
01:04:29,253 --> 01:04:32,897
One of the two worst people
that I worked with in my life.

1349
01:04:32,933 --> 01:04:35,519
Don't come to me with anything.

1350
01:04:35,557 --> 01:04:38,623
Basically he did not respect
to nobody.

1351
01:04:38,661 --> 01:04:42,109
The white ones were trash.

1352
01:04:42,150 --> 01:04:45,019
And the white actresses
They were worse than garbage.

1353
01:04:45,061 --> 01:04:47,777
And Rebecca, with how charming
and wonderful it is...

1354
01:04:47,813 --> 01:04:49,918
...it was, of course,
a garbage on the ground.

1355
01:04:49,956 --> 01:04:52,029
And he had to do
a love scene with her.

1356
01:04:52,069 --> 01:04:55,168
Do you think you have recovered
enough for me to make love to you?

1357
01:04:56,965 --> 01:04:58,875
I think I could bear the pain.

1358
01:04:58,917 --> 01:05:01,306
He insisted on catching
air flies...

1359
01:05:01,349 --> 01:05:03,237
...and eat them
before kissing her.

1360
01:05:03,269 --> 01:05:06,881
- What? What?
- Look, I didn't like him.

1361
01:05:06,918 --> 01:05:09,787
Brian used to replace Jimmy
in the love scenes...

1362
01:05:09,829 --> 01:05:12,961
...so he could lie down
about Rebecca Gilling.

1363
01:05:12,997 --> 01:05:16,478
And he said, "This is the angle.
John, take a look.

1364
01:05:16,518 --> 01:05:19,005
This is what you need."
And he is lying on her...

1365
01:05:19,045 --> 01:05:20,507
...and she is there, doing...

1366
01:05:20,549 --> 01:05:23,266
What did you expect?
Acupuncture?

1367
01:05:23,300 --> 01:05:25,275
Wang Yu was a big star
in Asia...

1368
01:05:25,317 --> 01:05:28,317
...and had also directed
eight movies. And here I was...

1369
01:05:28,357 --> 01:05:30,844
...this guy, directing
his first movie...

1370
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:35,107
...with a budget four times
greater than that of Wang Yu.

1371
01:05:35,141 --> 01:05:37,083
Jimmy Wang Yu wanted to be
the boss

1372
01:05:37,125 --> 01:05:39,329
I wanted to be the director...

1373
01:05:39,366 --> 01:05:41,504
...and Brian handled it very well.

1374
01:05:41,541 --> 01:05:44,836
He really did a good job because
I was very demanding with him...

1375
01:05:44,870 --> 01:05:48,481
...not only directing it, but acting
in it and withstanding the blows well.

1376
01:05:50,277 --> 01:05:52,579
Every time I watch the movie...

1377
01:05:52,612 --> 01:05:54,849
...and I see him kicking shit
to Brian...

1378
01:05:54,884 --> 01:05:57,568
...�he is not acting.

1379
01:05:58,533 --> 01:05:59,940
He treated me badly.

1380
01:05:59,973 --> 01:06:02,362
A kung fu master...

1381
01:06:02,406 --> 01:06:04,577
...used his art for purposes
evil

1382
01:06:04,613 --> 01:06:08,094
I said to Brian, "Do you want me to
I take care of Jimmy?

1383
01:06:08,133 --> 01:06:09,595
Do you want me to spank him?"

1384
01:06:09,637 --> 01:06:12,026
Because I was prepared
to do it for Brian...

1385
01:06:12,069 --> 01:06:14,011
...but he answered: "No, no.

1386
01:06:14,053 --> 01:06:17,249
"I will win my battle at the box office,"
and he did it.

1387
01:06:17,285 --> 01:06:19,674
George Lazenby is Jack Wilton...

1388
01:06:19,717 --> 01:06:22,270
...a ruthless tsar
of international evil.

1389
01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:25,179
I needed money and it cost me
a lot to get...

1390
01:06:25,221 --> 01:06:26,781
...a job in the industry
of cinema.

1391
01:06:26,821 --> 01:06:30,017
Given my background as James
Bond, he didn't want to sign contracts.

1392
01:06:30,053 --> 01:06:32,442
So basically,
was on the blacklist.

1393
01:06:32,485 --> 01:06:34,590
He had had a moment
of glory...

1394
01:06:34,629 --> 01:06:37,946
...and I think I had accepted
that things were no longer like that.

1395
01:06:37,989 --> 01:06:39,712
"The Dragon Fly High"
probably cost...

1396
01:06:39,749 --> 01:06:41,724
...what the slimes
in the Bond movie.

1397
01:06:48,388 --> 01:06:50,046
I want you to stop
to that lunatic.

1398
01:06:51,909 --> 01:06:54,975
We really didn't know
what we did.

1399
01:06:55,012 --> 01:06:58,012
We throw ourselves at it
and we tried to film it.

1400
01:06:58,053 --> 01:07:00,322
Some parts were very good...

1401
01:07:00,357 --> 01:07:03,619
...and others not so much,
but everything was dangerous.

1402
01:07:03,653 --> 01:07:06,042
There were many times when I thought
that they would kill me...

1403
01:07:06,085 --> 01:07:08,452
...that people would get hurt
or I would die.

1404
01:07:11,493 --> 01:07:15,137
The scene at Ayers Rock,
where the car overturns and explodes...

1405
01:07:15,172 --> 01:07:19,263
...the door flies away, you think:
"That's too close."

1406
01:07:19,301 --> 01:07:22,203
It's a dangerous thing.

1407
01:07:22,244 --> 01:07:24,383
Everyone did it and waited
that it turned out well.

1408
01:07:28,901 --> 01:07:31,651
The doubles are
crashing cars...

1409
01:07:31,685 --> 01:07:33,409
...and you are inside.

1410
01:07:33,445 --> 01:07:38,202
High-speed chase sequences
speed on open roads...

1411
01:07:41,221 --> 01:07:44,701
...without traffic control,
police permit or anything.

1412
01:07:44,740 --> 01:07:46,333
We just filmed them.

1413
01:07:46,373 --> 01:07:49,023
He got out of control and turned around
and you hit it in the middle...

1414
01:07:49,061 --> 01:07:50,784
...and you were in the seat
of the passenger.

1415
01:07:50,821 --> 01:07:52,708
Maybe you had a seat belt,
maybe not.

1416
01:07:52,741 --> 01:07:54,464
Nobody really cared.

1417
01:07:54,501 --> 01:07:57,218
We saw people run over,
and they lifted them up:

1418
01:07:57,253 --> 01:07:59,326
"Are you okay? Have a drink, buddy,
you will be fine

1419
01:07:59,365 --> 01:08:02,365
Just stand there but be sure
to get out of trouble a little sooner.

1420
01:08:04,773 --> 01:08:07,261
It was crazy,
when you think about it.

1421
01:08:07,301 --> 01:08:10,269
In the old days, it was a matter
of riding the motorcycle and falling.

1422
01:08:10,309 --> 01:08:13,724
He said, "Drive toward me."
and kick her."

1423
01:08:13,766 --> 01:08:15,259
And he did it.

1424
01:08:16,484 --> 01:08:18,940
I had lit a fire
seven times...

1425
01:08:18,980 --> 01:08:21,795
...and one of those times it was
to show George...

1426
01:08:21,828 --> 01:08:25,090
...how could you do it
safely.

1427
01:08:25,125 --> 01:08:26,783
Everyone said
around us:

1428
01:08:26,820 --> 01:08:28,446
"It will look fantastic.
You have to do it."

1429
01:08:28,484 --> 01:08:30,492
I lit a fire again.

1430
01:08:30,533 --> 01:08:34,046
The Chinese said: "This guy is crazy.
What will you do now?"

1431
01:08:34,085 --> 01:08:36,224
And after the director
fire was lit...

1432
01:08:36,261 --> 01:08:39,261
...I thought: "If he's going to do it,
I'll have to do it."

1433
01:08:43,812 --> 01:08:46,333
Knowing that that
it really happens...

1434
01:08:46,372 --> 01:08:48,282
...you can't buy
that emotion

1435
01:08:48,325 --> 01:08:51,773
You can't create it.
There is no special effect...

1436
01:08:51,813 --> 01:08:53,722
But when they really do it,

1437
01:08:53,765 --> 01:08:55,674
...George does them all
the movements...

1438
01:08:55,716 --> 01:08:57,953
...and then he had problems
to take off his jacket.

1439
01:08:57,988 --> 01:09:01,250
And George begins to feel
that burns

1440
01:09:01,285 --> 01:09:05,376
My arm got greased and the fire
I burned up here.

1441
01:09:05,413 --> 01:09:10,018
I have never seen someone try
to flee from his own arm so quickly.

1442
01:09:10,053 --> 01:09:13,947
Grant knocked him down and we threw him out
a blanket on top.

1443
01:09:13,988 --> 01:09:16,160
George, understandably,
I was furious.

1444
01:09:16,196 --> 01:09:18,084
I threw a punch at him
to Brian Trenchard-Smith.

1445
01:09:18,116 --> 01:09:20,320
It isn't true.

1446
01:09:20,357 --> 01:09:22,244
He jumped and went...

1447
01:09:22,277 --> 01:09:25,473
And Dick Trenchard hit him
and almost broke his jaw.

1448
01:09:25,509 --> 01:09:27,778
I don't remember hitting him.

1449
01:09:27,813 --> 01:09:30,431
If I did, I'm sorry.

1450
01:09:30,469 --> 01:09:33,153
Gosh, now you can't even turn on
a match on the set...

1451
01:09:33,189 --> 01:09:36,156
...without security officers
and things like that.

1452
01:09:36,197 --> 01:09:38,401
Then it was
very determined.

1453
01:09:38,437 --> 01:09:41,950
This is Grant Page,
professional stuntman.

1454
01:09:41,990 --> 01:09:45,218
Grant is the guy you get
to avoid cars...

1455
01:09:45,252 --> 01:09:47,619
...slide down the gorge
on fire...

1456
01:09:47,653 --> 01:09:49,278
...jump into the water and fight
with the shark

1457
01:09:49,317 --> 01:09:52,034
Grant Page was one of those guys
that you respected.

1458
01:09:52,068 --> 01:09:55,614
The most reckless man
that you have known.

1459
01:09:55,652 --> 01:09:57,540
It was gonzo,
completely crazy.

1460
01:09:58,693 --> 01:10:00,733
In USA
We call him insane.

1461
01:10:00,773 --> 01:10:04,864
He's the type of man who blocks
the pain as long as necessary.

1462
01:10:04,901 --> 01:10:06,788
"It will hurt later."

1463
01:10:06,821 --> 01:10:09,210
His scalp was open
and detached.

1464
01:10:09,253 --> 01:10:11,871
and I think they gave me
like 120 stitches in the head.

1465
01:10:11,909 --> 01:10:15,323
He's still alive.
That's a miracle.

1466
01:10:15,364 --> 01:10:19,488
I had the idea that Mad Dog
came out of the water on fire.

1467
01:10:19,525 --> 01:10:22,045
The only way to do it was
lighting Grant on fire...

1468
01:10:22,084 --> 01:10:23,677
...and make him dive into the water.

1469
01:10:23,717 --> 01:10:26,717
Unfortunately they couldn't
get the water mirror...

1470
01:10:26,757 --> 01:10:28,164
...with fuel on top
it turned on.

1471
01:10:28,197 --> 01:10:30,979
So I'm standing there,
on a small ledge...

1472
01:10:31,012 --> 01:10:32,703
...the gel dries...

1473
01:10:32,741 --> 01:10:36,002
And when they set it on fire,
It quickly burned.

1474
01:10:36,037 --> 01:10:38,590
It had a narrow projection
to walk past Dennis Hopper...

1475
01:10:38,629 --> 01:10:40,255
...without setting it on fire.

1476
01:10:40,293 --> 01:10:42,300
Grant moved quickly
in the wrong direction.

1477
01:10:42,340 --> 01:10:43,966
It was difficult to grab it.

1478
01:10:44,004 --> 01:10:45,913
He started screaming
and they put out their flames.

1479
01:10:45,957 --> 01:10:47,866
He went to the hospital and was burned
Seriously.

1480
01:10:47,908 --> 01:10:49,883
It wasn't painful enough.
to keep me in the hospital.

1481
01:10:49,924 --> 01:10:53,121
I'm sorry it went wrong,
but it is a very dry day.

1482
01:10:53,156 --> 01:10:54,717
A risky scene
very dangerous.

1483
01:10:54,756 --> 01:10:56,185
We set the scene
the next day.

1484
01:10:56,228 --> 01:10:58,814
The main part was the fall
with your back to the water.

1485
01:10:58,852 --> 01:11:00,413
It was 80 feet.

1486
01:11:00,453 --> 01:11:02,308
There was a lot of rock at the bottom...
sharp.

1487
01:11:02,340 --> 01:11:05,407
He reemerged bleeding
of the ears and nose.

1488
01:11:05,445 --> 01:11:07,267
He suffered a tremendous blow.

1489
01:11:07,301 --> 01:11:09,789
I haven't seen anything like it
in 21 years in the industry.

1490
01:11:09,829 --> 01:11:12,217
Worked for all the nuts:
Hathaway, George Stevens...

1491
01:11:12,260 --> 01:11:13,722
All the nuts,
do you understand?

1492
01:11:13,764 --> 01:11:16,219
I always had the feeling that
Grant was indestructible.

1493
01:11:16,260 --> 01:11:19,577
Brian was my reason to start
in the film industry.

1494
01:11:19,620 --> 01:11:22,587
I had heard some of the anecdotes
of what had happened...

1495
01:11:22,629 --> 01:11:24,516
...and I thought it was worth it
film them.

1496
01:11:24,549 --> 01:11:26,458
I thought: "Well, this
is a person...

1497
01:11:26,500 --> 01:11:28,159
...which should be in front
to the camera".

1498
01:11:28,197 --> 01:11:30,434
I offer you true emotion...

1499
01:11:30,469 --> 01:11:32,531
...a genuine test
of his skills...

1500
01:11:32,532 --> 01:11:34,593
...blood-curdling wit and courage.

1501
01:11:34,628 --> 01:11:37,924
I offer you the danger
unmistakable...

1502
01:11:37,956 --> 01:11:40,510
...plus a lot of fun.

1503
01:11:40,549 --> 01:11:42,271
It's not much, I know, but it is
everything we have.

1504
01:11:42,308 --> 01:11:45,788
A Dutch distributor
I had bought "Deathcheaters"

1505
01:11:45,828 --> 01:11:49,952
...and said "If you ever have an idea
brilliant for another film, come see us."

1506
01:11:49,988 --> 01:11:53,600
And I told them about this idea
called "Stunt Rock."

1507
01:11:54,788 --> 01:11:58,236
A famous Australian stuntman
meet a famous American group.

1508
01:11:58,276 --> 01:12:00,251
Many scenes take place
risk and a lot of rock.

1509
01:12:00,292 --> 01:12:02,332
The boys will destroy the seats.
What is there not to like?

1510
01:12:03,301 --> 01:12:04,762
The Dutch company said:

1511
01:12:04,805 --> 01:12:07,554
"Find a band for Monday
or we cancel production."

1512
01:12:09,285 --> 01:12:12,350
So I went and found a band
of those found for Monday.

1513
01:12:12,388 --> 01:12:15,170
The new discovery,
the rock group Sorcery.

1514
01:12:15,204 --> 01:12:19,360
Brian found this group of magicians
who also played instruments.

1515
01:12:19,396 --> 01:12:22,745
Unfortunately, they were better
magicians than musicians.

1516
01:12:22,788 --> 01:12:24,796
This dynamic combo
gets involved...

1517
01:12:24,837 --> 01:12:26,909
...with double the risk
Grant Page...

1518
01:12:26,949 --> 01:12:31,105
...there is a rash on the screen
of flames, smoke and sound.

1519
01:12:31,141 --> 01:12:33,345
So you don't have
as you imagine...

1520
01:12:33,380 --> 01:12:36,893
...three act structure or
a deep and meaningful argument...

1521
01:12:36,933 --> 01:12:40,314
...in which the arch
of a character...

1522
01:12:40,355 --> 01:12:43,203
...makes your vision change
of the world.

1523
01:12:43,236 --> 01:12:46,945
 �But the boys really
Are you interested in that?

1524
01:12:46,980 --> 01:12:49,947
I think they are interested
the explosions.

1525
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:53,056
They are laughter and surprises.

1526
01:12:53,092 --> 01:12:55,361
That's what many have been about
of my films.

1527
01:12:55,397 --> 01:12:58,430
It prints. let's get ready
for the run over, please.

1528
01:12:58,469 --> 01:13:01,502
And Grant Page
and Brian Trenchard-Smith...

1529
01:13:01,540 --> 01:13:03,101
..."Mad Max" emerges.

1530
01:13:03,140 --> 01:13:06,686
Grant Page broke his leg
and that of the female protagonist...

1531
01:13:06,725 --> 01:13:09,114
...on the way to the location on a motorcycle
the first day

1532
01:13:09,156 --> 01:13:13,346
When Gibson met him, I think
who used crutches and was in a cast.

1533
01:13:13,380 --> 01:13:15,235
- "This is your double."
- "My God."

1534
01:13:15,268 --> 01:13:18,464
When you see the vehicle
that the trailer passes through...

1535
01:13:18,500 --> 01:13:22,722
- He handles it with his leg in a cast.
- Heavens.

1536
01:13:22,756 --> 01:13:24,895
Flew through the trailer
and grabbed the bong.

1537
01:13:24,932 --> 01:13:26,459
And I remember that it was spinning...

1538
01:13:26,500 --> 01:13:29,402
...and we were all surprised
of the number of times it turned.

1539
01:13:29,445 --> 01:13:31,354
"Mad Max" was a B-class movie

1540
01:13:31,396 --> 01:13:33,731
...with movie aspirations
class A.

1541
01:13:33,764 --> 01:13:37,179
We realized that we had
to make fantasies come true...

1542
01:13:37,221 --> 01:13:39,740
...of a large segment
from the audience...

1543
01:13:39,779 --> 01:13:42,813
...to such a degree that we were satisfied
If we were sitting there...

1544
01:13:42,852 --> 01:13:46,235
...watching our own show,
after paying $5 to do so.

1545
01:13:46,276 --> 01:13:50,106
In Australia, we had "autocide"
instead of homicide.

1546
01:13:50,148 --> 01:13:52,766
Because I worked
in a large city hospital...

1547
01:13:52,805 --> 01:13:54,659
...and I found myself
face to face with that.

1548
01:13:54,692 --> 01:13:57,114
It was a great challenge for me.

1549
01:13:57,156 --> 01:13:59,611
I was interested in a character
Like Max...

1550
01:13:59,652 --> 01:14:02,140
...that I was in a world
very brutal...

1551
01:14:02,181 --> 01:14:06,337
...and basically tried to avoid
its brutal nature.

1552
01:14:06,373 --> 01:14:08,161
To a world without law...

1553
01:14:08,197 --> 01:14:09,789
...a world without order...

1554
01:14:09,828 --> 01:14:12,316
...a man arrives without fear.

1555
01:14:12,356 --> 01:14:14,975
The idea that this doctor,
with your own money...

1556
01:14:15,012 --> 01:14:18,624
...off to prepare barricades
and to film these scenes...

1557
01:14:18,660 --> 01:14:22,272
...for us filmmakers,
It was a great inspiration to know.

1558
01:14:22,309 --> 01:14:24,643
Those crazy stunts
They filmed on weekends...

1559
01:14:24,676 --> 01:14:26,946
...with David Eggby hanging
from the rear of the motorcycle.

1560
01:14:26,980 --> 01:14:29,631
There was a sequence where the goose
leave the nightclub...

1561
01:14:29,668 --> 01:14:32,668
And there is a motorcycle...

1562
01:14:32,709 --> 01:14:35,197
David is sitting
shorts and t-shirt...

1563
01:14:35,237 --> 01:14:37,571
...with your camera on the lens
filming the speedo.

1564
01:14:37,605 --> 01:14:40,025
The speedo was going 180 km. per hour.

1565
01:14:40,068 --> 01:14:42,075
It became gonzo cinematography...

1566
01:14:42,116 --> 01:14:45,629
...because there was nothing in the law
that would allow you to close this path...

1567
01:14:45,668 --> 01:14:47,708
...and then drive a car
about the speed limit...

1568
01:14:47,748 --> 01:14:49,919
...and make it roll and crash it
against another car.

1569
01:14:49,956 --> 01:14:53,371
I am a suicide machine
injected engine.

1570
01:14:53,412 --> 01:14:56,958
Night Rider's car
hits a gas pump.

1571
01:14:56,996 --> 01:14:59,680
There was a genuine rocket
sanctioned by the government...

1572
01:14:59,716 --> 01:15:01,855
...in the trunk of the car.

1573
01:15:06,053 --> 01:15:09,150
I knew we were risking
our lives, and often.

1574
01:15:09,188 --> 01:15:11,097
And I knew that the guys
on motorcycles...

1575
01:15:11,140 --> 01:15:13,561
...they were in a situation
very dangerous.

1576
01:15:13,603 --> 01:15:15,611
The motorcycle on the side overturned and...

1577
01:15:15,652 --> 01:15:17,507
...it hit him in the head when connecting.

1578
01:15:17,539 --> 01:15:19,579
He felt enough strap
to give you a headache.

1579
01:15:19,620 --> 01:15:22,009
We don't kill anyone,
but we do cause damage.

1580
01:15:23,908 --> 01:15:25,468
There was a lot of chaos.

1581
01:15:28,356 --> 01:15:31,171
Numerous broken bones...
legs and collarbones.

1582
01:15:31,204 --> 01:15:33,408
It seemed to David
that was out of control.

1583
01:15:35,396 --> 01:15:37,568
We didn't know if we had
a movie or not.

1584
01:15:37,603 --> 01:15:39,742
He and George faced each other...

1585
01:15:39,779 --> 01:15:42,146
...about where it should be filmed from,
and I know they had their battles.

1586
01:15:42,180 --> 01:15:43,969
There were two different sensitivities.

1587
01:15:44,004 --> 01:15:45,946
I knew there was another way
to film...

1588
01:15:45,987 --> 01:15:48,027
...but no one had filmed like this
in Australia.

1589
01:15:48,068 --> 01:15:51,264
- And there was the conflict.
- George was the visionary.

1590
01:15:51,300 --> 01:15:53,788
I had no experience
in filming technique.

1591
01:15:53,828 --> 01:15:57,984
I could hear the murmurs: "God,
today we only have nine scenes.

1592
01:15:58,020 --> 01:16:00,703
To film with such a director,
we would have 43".

1593
01:16:00,740 --> 01:16:03,358
He hated the side
of production itself.

1594
01:16:03,396 --> 01:16:04,923
It was like war.

1595
01:16:04,965 --> 01:16:07,200
I didn't know where they came from
the bullets

1596
01:16:07,236 --> 01:16:09,123
I didn't know where they were
the mines

1597
01:16:09,156 --> 01:16:11,905
I didn't know how a movie that,
In the end, he succeeded...

1598
01:16:11,940 --> 01:16:13,347
...emerged from that experience.

1599
01:16:13,379 --> 01:16:15,070
The movie was
quite well accepted...

1600
01:16:15,108 --> 01:16:16,963
...and people saw it
like a new wave.

1601
01:16:16,996 --> 01:16:20,345
The impact on audiences
It was incredible.

1602
01:16:20,388 --> 01:16:22,276
It really affected them.

1603
01:16:22,308 --> 01:16:24,480
We made them swallow them.

1604
01:16:24,516 --> 01:16:27,778
You can only do it by going
at 100 km. per hour...

1605
01:16:27,813 --> 01:16:29,787
...with the lens at 15 cm. from the ground...

1606
01:16:29,828 --> 01:16:34,204
...with a wide angle and fun
of a car going from one side to the other.

1607
01:16:34,244 --> 01:16:36,481
That was what finally
differentiated "Mad Max"...

1608
01:16:36,516 --> 01:16:38,108
...it seems to me,
of the other films.

1609
01:16:38,147 --> 01:16:40,668
The violence that was shown...

1610
01:16:40,707 --> 01:16:43,195
...and the one who was powerfully
implicit...

1611
01:16:43,235 --> 01:16:46,105
...they really dazzled me.

1612
01:16:46,148 --> 01:16:49,628
I have spent hours watching movies
exits from death camps.

1613
01:16:49,668 --> 01:16:51,675
I remember that there was
a criticism in India...

1614
01:16:51,716 --> 01:16:55,295
...which said that the people who were
Once the film was made, she had to be lynched.

1615
01:16:58,276 --> 01:17:00,960
I actually went to see it after reading
this horrible criticism, yes?

1616
01:17:00,996 --> 01:17:03,484
And I said, "This movie
It's great."

1617
01:17:05,540 --> 01:17:07,612
"Mad Max" is a great movie,
but, you know...

1618
01:17:07,651 --> 01:17:09,506
...it's not so original,
for the love of God.

1619
01:17:09,540 --> 01:17:12,507
A guy is pushed too far.
He loses his family.

1620
01:17:12,547 --> 01:17:15,777
That's "Mad Max" originally,
a revenge movie from the '70s.

1621
01:17:15,812 --> 01:17:17,568
So in the end,
He is an antihero.

1622
01:17:17,604 --> 01:17:20,670
And he is driving and he finds
with Johnny, the Boy...

1623
01:17:20,708 --> 01:17:22,650
...which recently killed
to someone

1624
01:17:22,692 --> 01:17:24,416
Makes him cuff his ankle
under the car...

1625
01:17:24,452 --> 01:17:26,460
...and then throws the saw at him.

1626
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:29,566
The chain on those handcuffs
It is made of extremely flexible steel.

1627
01:17:29,604 --> 01:17:31,776
It will take you 10 minutes to cut it
with this.

1628
01:17:31,812 --> 01:17:34,114
If you're lucky...

1629
01:17:34,149 --> 01:17:37,148
...you can cut your ankle
in five minutes.

1630
01:17:37,188 --> 01:17:39,577
That's the core concept.
from the first "The Game of Fear"...

1631
01:17:39,619 --> 01:17:41,856
...these guys with a saw they have
than cutting a chain.

1632
01:17:41,892 --> 01:17:43,802
He doesn't want
Let's cut the chains.

1633
01:17:43,844 --> 01:17:46,080
He wants us to cut ourselves
the feet.

1634
01:17:46,116 --> 01:17:48,636
So it was definitely
a great direct influence.

1635
01:17:51,492 --> 01:17:54,111
"Mad Max" literally
I started that subgenre...

1636
01:17:54,148 --> 01:17:56,668
...of Italian action movies
post-apocalyptic.

1637
01:17:56,708 --> 01:18:00,156
It is copied a lot internationally,
but here, no. There are no followers.

1638
01:18:00,196 --> 01:18:03,043
The expectation then was that,
with all the success of "Mad Max"...

1639
01:18:03,076 --> 01:18:06,687
...there would be 150 chase movies
of cars made here. It didn't happen.

1640
01:18:06,723 --> 01:18:10,236
It was difficult to emulate,
but I think Australian cinema...

1641
01:18:10,276 --> 01:18:12,894
...I was unconsciously
in another course...

1642
01:18:12,931 --> 01:18:14,939
...catching up
with works of the time.

1643
01:18:14,980 --> 01:18:17,533
In a way,
"Danger: Chain Reaction" followed.

1644
01:18:17,571 --> 01:18:20,954
Somehow what never
it should have happened...

1645
01:18:22,404 --> 01:18:24,411
...has begun.

1646
01:18:24,452 --> 01:18:26,688
Soon, the dead could be
the lucky ones.

1647
01:18:29,540 --> 01:18:31,612
In fact, George Miller came
to direct the second unit.

1648
01:18:31,652 --> 01:18:33,213
It's time to cause damage.

1649
01:18:37,060 --> 01:18:39,296
I don't think George would have
choreographed a lot on earth.

1650
01:18:39,332 --> 01:18:41,699
It is very difficult to tar. They cannot be
make the wheels squeak in the dirt.

1651
01:18:45,923 --> 01:18:47,931
"Danger: Chain Reaction"
It was one of car chases.

1652
01:18:47,972 --> 01:18:50,045
That was the engine
that led the story...

1653
01:18:50,084 --> 01:18:53,913
...but the basic story also had
depth and interest.

1654
01:18:53,956 --> 01:18:56,443
A chain reaction
of pollution.

1655
01:18:56,484 --> 01:18:58,077
A nuclear spill...

1656
01:18:59,908 --> 01:19:02,690
We filmed it cheap
with this Larry Stillson...

1657
01:19:02,724 --> 01:19:04,611
...trying to make time
quality...

1658
01:19:04,644 --> 01:19:07,361
...with his wife dressed
in leopard print.

1659
01:19:07,395 --> 01:19:09,370
There's nothing wrong with that
as an idea.

1660
01:19:09,411 --> 01:19:12,728
The whole nuclear message was something
very typical at that time.

1661
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:17,922
I think the show won...

1662
01:19:17,955 --> 01:19:21,054
...and the message probably
went into the background.

1663
01:19:21,092 --> 01:19:23,612
Romance, sex,
car chases.

1664
01:19:26,436 --> 01:19:28,737
You know, there really is something
for everyone.

1665
01:19:28,772 --> 01:19:32,416
Nobody films a car
like the Australians do.

1666
01:19:32,452 --> 01:19:35,386
They arrange to film them
with this fetish lens...

1667
01:19:35,427 --> 01:19:37,052
...that makes you want to jerk off.

1668
01:20:00,036 --> 01:20:02,240
Just look at the preview
from "Midnite Spares".

1669
01:20:04,387 --> 01:20:06,689
The cars are prettier
than in "Fast and Furious."

1670
01:20:06,723 --> 01:20:11,262
There is much more action and crashes
just in that preview...

1671
01:20:13,187 --> 01:20:15,838
...which in both movies
of "Fast and Furious" together.

1672
01:20:19,012 --> 01:20:22,624
"Midnite Spares" had all
a sequence on a road course...

1673
01:20:22,660 --> 01:20:25,181
...and there was a terrible accident...

1674
01:20:25,220 --> 01:20:27,587
...where a runner hit him...

1675
01:20:27,619 --> 01:20:29,791
...to an assistant cameraman
that was moving away...

1676
01:20:29,828 --> 01:20:32,545
...from your protected position
with the camera and died.

1677
01:20:32,580 --> 01:20:36,408
We weren't that careful
with security like now.

1678
01:20:36,452 --> 01:20:38,077
And it was not so controlled...

1679
01:20:38,115 --> 01:20:40,505
...and things occasionally
they went wrong.

1680
01:20:40,548 --> 01:20:44,126
We had a very disturbing incident
in "Yankee Zephyr."

1681
01:20:44,163 --> 01:20:46,946
We had a jet boat
that was going to be manned...

1682
01:20:46,979 --> 01:20:48,921
...by Ken Wahl and Donald Pleasance.

1683
01:20:48,964 --> 01:20:51,713
They were going to navigate these rapids...

1684
01:20:51,748 --> 01:20:54,650
...which we were assured were very soft
and without problems.

1685
01:20:54,692 --> 01:20:57,856
The helmsman of the jet boat
jumped up...

1686
01:20:57,892 --> 01:20:59,932
...and took him for a ride...

1687
01:20:59,972 --> 01:21:02,361
...and the boat was completely
destroyed in the rapids.

1688
01:21:02,404 --> 01:21:04,313
The helmsman of the jet boat,
another person...

1689
01:21:04,355 --> 01:21:06,908
...and finally, a third person
They died.

1690
01:21:06,947 --> 01:21:09,336
Maybe we were lucky that
there would be no more problems.

1691
01:21:12,068 --> 01:21:14,523
Direct action movies
high quality...

1692
01:21:14,563 --> 01:21:16,897
...it's a skill
of specialist.

1693
01:21:16,932 --> 01:21:18,459
Do you think it's supposed to
that impresses me...

1694
01:21:18,499 --> 01:21:20,321
...that kind of way of flying?
It's not like that.

1695
01:21:20,356 --> 01:21:23,225
Probably David Hemmings
It wasn't that director.

1696
01:21:23,268 --> 01:21:26,050
His drinking was a problem
because it undermined his energy;

1697
01:21:26,083 --> 01:21:28,898
...undermined his concentration.

1698
01:21:28,932 --> 01:21:30,841
And one will always refer
to "Yankee Zephyr"

1699
01:21:30,884 --> 01:21:31,943
...and I will have to admit that...

1700
01:21:31,944 --> 01:21:33,403
...if I had directed it
Brian Trenchard-Smith...

1701
01:21:33,443 --> 01:21:35,036
...probably would have been
a different film.

1702
01:21:35,075 --> 01:21:38,141
Because all the elements are
present for an excellent film.

1703
01:21:42,563 --> 01:21:44,057
And, somehow, it didn't stick.

1704
01:21:44,100 --> 01:21:45,626
"It could have been
a better movie? Yes.

1705
01:21:45,668 --> 01:21:47,293
Do we make money with it? Yes.

1706
01:21:47,332 --> 01:21:48,858
30 days, the next case.

1707
01:21:48,900 --> 01:21:52,129
The industry had the greed
to take the next step...

1708
01:21:52,163 --> 01:21:55,295
...and it was a tax concession
call 10 B.A.

1709
01:21:55,332 --> 01:21:58,977
They offered you a 150% deduction
in an investment in cinema.

1710
01:21:59,012 --> 01:22:02,940
That led to the amount of material
of gender realized...

1711
01:22:02,979 --> 01:22:06,328
...because many of the financiers
They didn't care what was done.

1712
01:22:06,371 --> 01:22:09,819
They cared about the deal and they cared
organize your teams...

1713
01:22:09,859 --> 01:22:12,031
...and make a lot of money
while there was.

1714
01:22:12,067 --> 01:22:14,914
I have made movies
like you wouldn't believe.

1715
01:22:14,947 --> 01:22:17,336
It's 1995.

1716
01:22:17,379 --> 01:22:20,347
Hunting is the national sport.

1717
01:22:20,388 --> 01:22:23,617
The people are the prey.

1718
01:22:23,652 --> 01:22:26,881
"Escape 2000" is another one of these
Ginnane funny movies...

1719
01:22:26,915 --> 01:22:28,541
...which always seem
be mentioned...

1720
01:22:28,579 --> 01:22:30,489
...when you have to talk about a certain
controversy.

1721
01:22:30,532 --> 01:22:32,538
Something big fell
to a huge abyss.

1722
01:22:32,579 --> 01:22:34,717
We had financial problems
at the beginning.

1723
01:22:34,755 --> 01:22:36,511
half the budget
did not appear

1724
01:22:36,547 --> 01:22:38,108
We didn't lose half the money.

1725
01:22:38,147 --> 01:22:40,318
I think Brian
He likes to exaggerate.

1726
01:22:40,355 --> 01:22:42,427
We paid the doubles
to introduce yourself...

1727
01:22:42,468 --> 01:22:44,290
...and what they did
remained in them.

1728
01:22:44,323 --> 01:22:47,106
This is how poor he suddenly became
the budget.

1729
01:22:47,139 --> 01:22:50,173
The producers were
to the racecourse daily...

1730
01:22:50,211 --> 01:22:52,121
...to bet to win
more money

1731
01:22:52,164 --> 01:22:55,742
They spent a lot of time there.
Now...

1732
01:22:55,780 --> 01:22:58,562
...I don't think we would use
that $2.5 million.

1733
01:22:58,595 --> 01:23:01,311
They got rid of 25 � 30 � 17...
different versions are heard.

1734
01:23:01,347 --> 01:23:03,419
I don't know how many pages
of the script they canceled.

1735
01:23:03,459 --> 01:23:07,736
When you have no beginning,
you have nothing.

1736
01:23:07,779 --> 01:23:09,689
You're screwed.

1737
01:23:09,731 --> 01:23:12,698
With all due respect to Steve, I'm not
sure that his mental state...

1738
01:23:12,739 --> 01:23:15,041
...during that movie it was such that
I could remember his handwriting.

1739
01:23:15,075 --> 01:23:17,497
Stay away from the racecourse...

1740
01:23:17,539 --> 01:23:20,408
...and don't blame him on the $700,000
that were removed...

1741
01:23:20,452 --> 01:23:22,208
...because that had nothing
what to do with it.

1742
01:23:22,243 --> 01:23:25,407
Don't go near the racecourse.
That had something to do with it.

1743
01:23:25,444 --> 01:23:29,153
If we give up now,
Everything we believe in will die.

1744
01:23:29,188 --> 01:23:31,391
We have to move forward.

1745
01:23:31,427 --> 01:23:33,435
For better or worse,
I decided to convert it...

1746
01:23:33,475 --> 01:23:35,362
...in a bloody movie
exaggerated

1747
01:23:35,395 --> 01:23:38,177
Risk scenes can be
expensive, but blood is cheap.

1748
01:23:40,355 --> 01:23:43,072
The prisoners had
than to recite this mantra...

1749
01:23:43,107 --> 01:23:45,474
...which basically says they are the way
lowest life on earth...

1750
01:23:45,507 --> 01:23:48,224
I'm a pervert, the way of life
lowest on earth.

1751
01:23:48,259 --> 01:23:51,292
While Roger Ward
He is the guard of hell...

1752
01:23:51,332 --> 01:23:54,398
...and throws blows at her.

1753
01:23:54,435 --> 01:23:58,210
I said, "Look, it may seem
I'm a relentless bastard.

1754
01:23:58,244 --> 01:24:00,545
But don't worry,
"I just act."

1755
01:24:00,579 --> 01:24:02,946
And he hit her and he hit her.

1756
01:24:05,347 --> 01:24:07,452
I have seen people
getting kicked in the movies...

1757
01:24:07,491 --> 01:24:09,401
...but it seems to kill her
kicking

1758
01:24:09,443 --> 01:24:12,193
I like the whole movie,
but after seeing that scene...

1759
01:24:12,227 --> 01:24:13,721
...I'll love that movie, right?

1760
01:24:13,763 --> 01:24:15,706
She wants me to bury her,
Mr. Ritter?

1761
01:24:15,747 --> 01:24:18,529
- She's not dead yet, Dutch.
- I could do the same.

1762
01:24:18,564 --> 01:24:20,898
Anything that produced
a bloody look, good.

1763
01:24:20,932 --> 01:24:23,266
Trenchard-Smith is good
for that kind of thing.

1764
01:24:23,300 --> 01:24:26,595
It's good for bloodbaths.
And it's good for determining modes...

1765
01:24:26,627 --> 01:24:28,188
...in which to rip off his fingers
from the feet to the people...

1766
01:24:28,227 --> 01:24:30,398
The little one

1767
01:24:31,395 --> 01:24:33,817
...so that others can arrive
and they eat them.

1768
01:24:33,859 --> 01:24:35,768
This became garbage.

1769
01:24:35,811 --> 01:24:37,534
And I hated seeing it.

1770
01:24:42,083 --> 01:24:44,222
And when she turned
that arrow...

1771
01:24:44,259 --> 01:24:48,285
...and put it on his neck,
and then his head exploded...

1772
01:24:48,324 --> 01:24:50,233
everything you did
was causing sparks.

1773
01:24:50,275 --> 01:24:54,399
But I'll tell you what did work.
That's when I blew that head off.

1774
01:24:58,180 --> 01:25:00,088
I thought it worked.

1775
01:25:00,131 --> 01:25:02,171
In a way.

1776
01:25:02,211 --> 01:25:04,993
David Hemmings was the director
second unit.

1777
01:25:05,027 --> 01:25:09,435
And I remember the scene where one
of the actors cut off his hands.

1778
01:25:09,475 --> 01:25:11,897
Olivia had that machete
bloody on the hand...

1779
01:25:11,939 --> 01:25:13,727
...and David says, "And cut."

1780
01:25:13,763 --> 01:25:15,999
Meaning: "Cut.
"Stop filming."

1781
01:25:16,035 --> 01:25:17,661
She believes that he
refers to her.

1782
01:25:17,699 --> 01:25:19,674
And he's going to do it...

1783
01:25:19,715 --> 01:25:21,820
No, no, don't cut.

1784
01:25:21,859 --> 01:25:24,194
...and avoid their real hands
per centimeters.

1785
01:25:24,227 --> 01:25:26,267
I want to tell you something. Nobody...

1786
01:25:26,308 --> 01:25:27,737
...never...

1787
01:25:27,780 --> 01:25:29,950
...of the nevers...

1788
01:25:29,987 --> 01:25:32,507
...should never be hurt
in a set.

1789
01:25:33,731 --> 01:25:36,219
We really use
real bullets...

1790
01:25:36,259 --> 01:25:39,455
...to shoot the actors
and hit the nearby rocks.

1791
01:25:40,963 --> 01:25:44,738
We had a stuntman, Glen Boswell,
who was crossing the river.

1792
01:25:44,772 --> 01:25:48,546
When the scene was over, he stood up
and saw that he was still bleeding.

1793
01:25:48,579 --> 01:25:51,449
Upon examination, we find
a bullet embedded in it.

1794
01:25:51,492 --> 01:25:54,525
I think people were shooting
pellets into the water.

1795
01:25:56,099 --> 01:25:59,197
I would never allow them to shoot
real bullets

1796
01:25:59,234 --> 01:26:01,144
The good thing about "Escape 2000"

1797
01:26:01,187 --> 01:26:03,740
...was that it allowed us
Let's all laugh a lot...

1798
01:26:03,778 --> 01:26:06,495
...at the expense of the establishment
cinematographic.

1799
01:26:06,531 --> 01:26:09,401
The dear Philip Adams,
not content with criticizing "Mad Max"...

1800
01:26:09,443 --> 01:26:10,937
...decided what was best to treat
to confront me.

1801
01:26:10,979 --> 01:26:14,275
"Escape 2000" is one of my movies
Least favorite ever.

1802
01:26:14,307 --> 01:26:17,089
I think I said that the image
by Lynda Stoner...

1803
01:26:17,123 --> 01:26:19,262
...being stabbed
through the left breast...

1804
01:26:19,299 --> 01:26:22,747
...by a carnivorous lesbian
It was too much for me.

1805
01:26:22,787 --> 01:26:24,413
And it really was.

1806
01:26:24,451 --> 01:26:26,906
He was one of those who left
shot out the door.

1807
01:26:26,948 --> 01:26:29,762
Maybe he thought he had been robbed
one of his sarcophagi.

1808
01:26:29,794 --> 01:26:33,984
It was a much worse movie
than they could have imagined.

1809
01:26:34,019 --> 01:26:38,459
Has professional problems
as well as morals.

1810
01:26:38,499 --> 01:26:40,386
Annotation!

1811
01:26:42,723 --> 01:26:44,633
"Escape 2000" era
really crazy.

1812
01:26:44,675 --> 01:26:47,042
But, to me, that was Brian
filming movies.

1813
01:26:47,075 --> 01:26:49,017
He threw himself completely
to each one.

1814
01:26:49,059 --> 01:26:51,132
Some, like
"The Bicivoladores"...

1815
01:26:51,171 --> 01:26:53,626
...they don't have much depth
no meaning...

1816
01:26:53,667 --> 01:26:56,034
...but they are a great show.

1817
01:26:56,067 --> 01:27:00,060
The Bicivoladores,
They are loose in the streets.

1818
01:27:00,099 --> 01:27:02,782
A high-flying ride
to the adventure.

1819
01:27:02,819 --> 01:27:05,186
The BMX bike
He was very interested...

1820
01:27:05,218 --> 01:27:08,186
...because I was going down the steps,
I could make her climb the walls.

1821
01:27:08,227 --> 01:27:10,049
I could have
car chases...

1822
01:27:10,083 --> 01:27:13,279
...everything he loved to do
I was in that movie.

1823
01:27:13,315 --> 01:27:14,657
And, somehow,
everything worked.

1824
01:27:14,691 --> 01:27:17,953
Even the most cynical critic
from Australia got hooked.

1825
01:27:17,987 --> 01:27:21,119
I think they didn't even see
They got hooked on Nicole Kidman.

1826
01:27:21,155 --> 01:27:24,701
You know what they say:
Two is company, with three, they speak badly.

1827
01:27:24,739 --> 01:27:27,357
I guess it restored faith
of the people in me.

1828
01:27:27,394 --> 01:27:30,525
This reminds me of a very movie
good one I saw at the drive-in once...

1829
01:27:30,563 --> 01:27:32,319
"Draw the Blood from
my Carburetor to Kisses".

1830
01:27:32,354 --> 01:27:34,776
- It was a road horror movie.
- Aren't they all?

1831
01:27:41,635 --> 01:27:44,505
"Fair Game" has monsters
terrible mechanics...

1832
01:27:44,547 --> 01:27:48,028
...scary, excellent looking
and the bad guys drive.

1833
01:27:48,067 --> 01:27:50,042
Get out of the way, crazy!

1834
01:27:50,083 --> 01:27:53,116
They are kangaroo killers, which
It automatically makes them villains.

1835
01:27:53,156 --> 01:27:55,709
- And they fuck with the girls.
- Bastards!

1836
01:27:56,579 --> 01:27:58,204
They destroyed the house around me.

1837
01:27:58,243 --> 01:28:01,559
A truck was taking a shot
and destroyed a wall...

1838
01:28:01,602 --> 01:28:04,504
...and I was running from that wall
to the next.

1839
01:28:04,547 --> 01:28:07,743
It was very scary, but I escaped.
from there like a bunny.

1840
01:28:07,779 --> 01:28:11,292
It's the car instead of a movie
american murder...

1841
01:28:11,331 --> 01:28:13,633
...is the knife and that accessory.

1842
01:28:13,667 --> 01:28:16,034
No, it's how scary
the car?

1843
01:28:18,531 --> 01:28:20,505
The characters
masculine they were...

1844
01:28:20,547 --> 01:28:21,823
...a little unpleasant.

1845
01:28:21,859 --> 01:28:23,320
Good heavens. Got you.

1846
01:28:23,364 --> 01:28:25,338
And they became even more
unpleasant.

1847
01:28:28,771 --> 01:28:31,007
So I had to kill them.

1848
01:28:31,043 --> 01:28:33,345
It is the female version
from "The Straw Dogs."

1849
01:28:35,267 --> 01:28:37,121
After watching many films
Australians...

1850
01:28:37,155 --> 01:28:38,399
...if you watch "The Straw Dogs",
you say:

1851
01:28:38,434 --> 01:28:40,474
"Why the hell Peckinpah
"Did you place it in England?"

1852
01:28:40,515 --> 01:28:42,457
It's such an Australian story.

1853
01:28:51,747 --> 01:28:53,820
If you like crazy movies...

1854
01:28:53,859 --> 01:28:56,760
...you live... you live and breathe...

1855
01:28:56,802 --> 01:28:58,974
...to wait
those rare moments...

1856
01:28:59,010 --> 01:29:02,753
...that happen every now and then
in genre cinema...

1857
01:29:02,786 --> 01:29:05,470
...where you can't believe...

1858
01:29:05,507 --> 01:29:07,263
...that you see what you are seeing.

1859
01:29:07,299 --> 01:29:10,168
Well "Fair Game" has one
of those moments.

1860
01:29:10,211 --> 01:29:12,633
And that's when after fucking
the girl like crazy...

1861
01:29:12,675 --> 01:29:14,235
...they undress her...

1862
01:29:14,275 --> 01:29:17,657
...they tie her to the front of their truck
monster...

1863
01:29:17,699 --> 01:29:20,382
...and proceed to drive down the road...

1864
01:29:20,419 --> 01:29:23,680
...170 km. per hour with her tied
in front of the truck, yes?

1865
01:29:23,715 --> 01:29:25,754
So she is like an ornament
human in the hood.

1866
01:29:25,794 --> 01:29:28,664
Who the hell
Did that occur to you?

1867
01:29:28,706 --> 01:29:30,811
What brain thought that?

1868
01:29:30,850 --> 01:29:32,989
Who let them do it?
And when they did...

1869
01:29:33,027 --> 01:29:35,482
...what the hell was happening
for their minds...

1870
01:29:35,523 --> 01:29:37,432
...while filming
the sequence?

1871
01:29:37,475 --> 01:29:40,257
For me, that's the reason
why you watch exploitation cinema...

1872
01:29:40,291 --> 01:29:41,567
...to have moments
where you say:

1873
01:29:41,603 --> 01:29:44,253
"Is this really happening?"
Do I really see it?

1874
01:29:44,291 --> 01:29:46,712
"It's a memory of acid,
or does this really happen?

1875
01:29:46,755 --> 01:29:50,268
It's a classic moment
in genre cinema, without a doubt.

1876
01:29:50,307 --> 01:29:52,217
There is a horrible statistic...

1877
01:29:52,259 --> 01:29:54,398
...that half of the films
made under the 10 B.A.

1878
01:29:54,435 --> 01:29:55,808
...they were never released
because of how bad they were.

1879
01:29:55,842 --> 01:29:58,263
The ark has been hunted...

1880
01:29:58,307 --> 01:30:00,216
...the jewel of the Nile found...

1881
01:30:00,258 --> 01:30:03,258
...and now the great adventure
has returned.

1882
01:30:03,299 --> 01:30:04,444
"Dakota Harris."

1883
01:30:04,482 --> 01:30:06,784
It will be the adventure of your life.

1884
01:30:06,818 --> 01:30:08,444
Indiana Jones
and the Temple of Garbage".

1885
01:30:08,482 --> 01:30:11,068
They have certainly cursed...

1886
01:30:11,106 --> 01:30:14,620
...the expression "genre cinema"
in Australia.

1887
01:30:39,106 --> 01:30:41,408
Did everything work?

1888
01:30:41,443 --> 01:30:45,120
I don't know how he could do it,
in the distance.

1889
01:30:45,154 --> 01:30:47,642
But among all that garbage...

1890
01:30:47,683 --> 01:30:50,268
...they still made movies
fantastic...

1891
01:30:50,307 --> 01:30:52,674
...and some incredibly
originals.

1892
01:30:52,707 --> 01:30:55,040
Now comes a new vision
surprising...

1893
01:30:55,074 --> 01:30:58,369
...that will take them further
of the Apocalypse.

1894
01:30:58,402 --> 01:31:01,915
"Death at the Drive-In" is my movie
Brian Trenchard-Smith's favorite.

1895
01:31:01,954 --> 01:31:05,370
It's the one you can show him
to anyone and they will recognize it...

1896
01:31:05,411 --> 01:31:08,346
...and they will accept it as a work
exceptional.

1897
01:31:10,595 --> 01:31:13,180
- I could be strange...
- Shit, we caught fire.

1898
01:31:13,219 --> 01:31:15,804
...but it could also be good.

1899
01:31:17,186 --> 01:31:19,259
Sometimes on earth
low budget...

1900
01:31:19,299 --> 01:31:21,503
...it's hard to be both.

1901
01:31:21,539 --> 01:31:25,182
When the show ends,
there is no way out.

1902
01:31:25,218 --> 01:31:26,811
"Death at the Drive-In."

1903
01:31:26,850 --> 01:31:29,338
The story and the idea
They are so intriguing.

1904
01:31:29,378 --> 01:31:31,899
The government takes care
of a wave of crimes...

1905
01:31:31,938 --> 01:31:36,193
...taking the alleged criminals,
the young people, and imprisoning them...

1906
01:31:36,227 --> 01:31:38,747
In a drive-in like field
of concentration.

1907
01:31:38,787 --> 01:31:40,991
As long as they can live
in their cars...

1908
01:31:41,027 --> 01:31:44,769
...and show exploitation films
constantly on the screen...

1909
01:31:44,803 --> 01:31:47,072
- My God.
- ...everything is fine, okay?

1910
01:31:47,107 --> 01:31:50,106
- Forget the damn movie.
- I have to see the end.

1911
01:31:50,147 --> 01:31:52,252
"Death at the Drive-In" presents...

1912
01:31:52,291 --> 01:31:54,745
...to another great Australian double...
Guy Norris.

1913
01:31:54,786 --> 01:31:58,812
He wanted to achieve the world record
truck jump.

1914
01:32:08,066 --> 01:32:11,383
Finally he made the truck
will jump 48 meters.

1915
01:32:11,427 --> 01:32:13,150
The sentence was passed.

1916
01:32:13,187 --> 01:32:15,129
For when "Death at the Drive-In"
is released...

1917
01:32:15,171 --> 01:32:17,276
...exploitation cinema
I was on my way out...

1918
01:32:17,314 --> 01:32:19,224
...and from there on it would go
direct to video.

1919
01:32:19,267 --> 01:32:22,333
I wanted it to be the best movie
that could be seen at a drive-in...

1920
01:32:22,371 --> 01:32:24,988
...and drive-ins
They died quickly.

1921
01:32:28,258 --> 01:32:31,804
People saw that type
of movies at home.

1922
01:32:31,842 --> 01:32:34,810
The sad thing was to see the gradual decline
of these movies...

1923
01:32:34,850 --> 01:32:36,760
...and watch them get worse
progressively.

1924
01:32:36,803 --> 01:32:38,712
I remember seeing something called
"Bloodmoon"...

1925
01:32:38,754 --> 01:32:40,642
...who had a pause due to terror
in the middle.

1926
01:32:40,674 --> 01:32:43,227
It was supposed to be so you could leave
before the end if you were very afraid.

1927
01:32:43,267 --> 01:32:46,136
Accept the challenge
from "Bloodmoon".

1928
01:32:46,179 --> 01:32:49,146
Can you handle the tension?

1929
01:32:49,187 --> 01:32:51,642
It was their chance to escape.
and they will get their money back.

1930
01:32:51,683 --> 01:32:53,820
They returned my money.
It was right away.

1931
01:32:53,858 --> 01:32:55,036
"Give me that money back."

1932
01:32:55,074 --> 01:32:57,146
When the bodies returned
financing...

1933
01:32:57,186 --> 01:32:59,422
...it became much more difficult
that they said...

1934
01:32:59,458 --> 01:33:02,043
...they would give the money
of taxpayers...

1935
01:33:02,082 --> 01:33:04,187
...for genre films
because they look...

1936
01:33:04,226 --> 01:33:06,648
...like imported movies,
not like our culture.

1937
01:33:06,690 --> 01:33:10,367
The attitude was: "Clearly,
exploitation films fail.

1938
01:33:10,403 --> 01:33:13,250
We shouldn't waste
our time in them.

1939
01:33:13,283 --> 01:33:16,665
We should simply do
artistically meritorious things...

1940
01:33:16,707 --> 01:33:18,616
...that we always should
have been doing."

1941
01:33:18,658 --> 01:33:21,211
More like movies
that reflect the culture...

1942
01:33:21,251 --> 01:33:22,941
...socially significant.

1943
01:33:22,978 --> 01:33:25,466
And the genre died
for a short time.

1944
01:33:25,506 --> 01:33:27,230
Maybe it can only be seen now...

1945
01:33:27,266 --> 01:33:29,852
...that we realize
that Australian exploitation...

1946
01:33:29,890 --> 01:33:32,574
...really starts to receive
some recognition...

1947
01:33:32,610 --> 01:33:34,137
...and some rediscovery.

1948
01:33:34,178 --> 01:33:36,415
There is a new generation
in Australia...

1949
01:33:36,450 --> 01:33:39,865
...who wants to return to the genre
and reinvent it.

1950
01:33:39,907 --> 01:33:41,467
And action.

1951
01:33:41,506 --> 01:33:43,416
There's all this activity,
suddenly...

1952
01:33:43,458 --> 01:33:45,247
...and that's completely
due to "Hunter of Wolf Creek".

1953
01:33:45,282 --> 01:33:48,064
What is it that you do?

1954
01:33:48,099 --> 01:33:51,873
I could tell you, but then
I would have to kill you.

1955
01:33:55,937 --> 01:33:57,498
Please!

1956
01:33:57,538 --> 01:34:00,473
The film was rejected
by many people for stupid reasons.

1957
01:34:00,514 --> 01:34:02,270
It has to do with not wanting
be risky

1958
01:34:02,306 --> 01:34:04,062
To the horror,
you have to be extreme.

1959
01:34:04,098 --> 01:34:05,659
Otherwise,
will fall into the current...

1960
01:34:05,698 --> 01:34:07,356
of the millions of horror films
that are released.

1961
01:34:07,395 --> 01:34:09,304
That's not a knife.

1962
01:34:09,346 --> 01:34:12,412
This yes.

1963
01:34:13,794 --> 01:34:15,583
Seeing that movie get made...

1964
01:34:15,619 --> 01:34:18,368
It reminded me a lot of energy
of filmmaking in the '70s.

1965
01:34:18,403 --> 01:34:21,718
It felt like a new wave.

1966
01:34:21,761 --> 01:34:24,347
With movies like
"Wolf Creek", "The Undead"...

1967
01:34:24,385 --> 01:34:27,419
and movies like that that are filmed now,
I hope they take...

1968
01:34:27,458 --> 01:34:29,247
to a movie renaissance
of gender.

1969
01:34:29,282 --> 01:34:31,170
These movies
They are coming back.

1970
01:34:32,354 --> 01:34:34,526
In "Storm Warning",
We really try...

1971
01:34:34,562 --> 01:34:36,799
reach the limit as soon as
to content...

1972
01:34:36,834 --> 01:34:39,769
and bring it back a little
to what it used to be.

1973
01:34:41,763 --> 01:34:43,454
It's a sign
of tremendous maturity.

1974
01:34:43,490 --> 01:34:45,825
It's a very, very good sign
for the industry...

1975
01:34:45,858 --> 01:34:47,800
that we have completed
the circle, if you want.

1976
01:34:47,842 --> 01:34:50,711
The energy level,
the audacity of these films...

1977
01:34:50,754 --> 01:34:52,827
I think,
interestingly...

1978
01:34:52,866 --> 01:34:55,713
They are a very good brand
for today's filmmakers.

1979
01:34:55,746 --> 01:34:58,048
people like me
and many other directors...

1980
01:34:58,082 --> 01:35:01,431
They see them and say,
"That's our heritage."

1981
01:35:01,474 --> 01:35:03,164
I think I can say...

1982
01:35:03,202 --> 01:35:05,885
without fear of
successful contradiction...

1983
01:35:05,922 --> 01:35:10,078
that among the many fields
of artistic entrepreneurship...

1984
01:35:10,114 --> 01:35:12,700
in which the Australians
have shown...

1985
01:35:12,738 --> 01:35:14,647
such wonderful leadership...

1986
01:35:14,691 --> 01:35:17,473
It is the art of feature films.

1987
01:35:50,145 --> 01:35:54,074
When "Kill Bill"
premiered in Sydney...

1988
01:35:54,114 --> 01:35:56,503
a good section of the industry
of Australian cinema...

1989
01:35:56,545 --> 01:35:59,894
I was in the audience that night.
I knew they were snobs...

1990
01:35:59,938 --> 01:36:03,004
and I live to irritate snobs.

1991
01:36:03,042 --> 01:36:05,595
So I dedicated it to him
to Brian Trenchard-Smith.

1992
01:36:05,635 --> 01:36:08,930
If you don't like Brian Trenchard-Smith,
You won't like this movie...

1993
01:36:08,962 --> 01:36:11,035
...so get out of here right now.
I just warned you.

1994
01:36:11,074 --> 01:36:13,311
If you read about Australian cinema...

1995
01:36:13,346 --> 01:36:15,518
...you know, literature
and the analysis...

1996
01:36:15,554 --> 01:36:18,554
...I'm kind of a footnote
of hidden pleasure.

1997
01:36:18,594 --> 01:36:22,816
The people in power
I would reluctantly agree...

1998
01:36:22,850 --> 01:36:25,239
...so I am a craftsman
semi-decent...

1999
01:36:25,282 --> 01:36:28,665
...and I doubt it's something now
more than that.

2000
01:36:28,706 --> 01:36:31,575
There is no doubt that people
like Richard Franklin...

2001
01:36:31,618 --> 01:36:34,487
...and John Lamond were
very, very underrated.

2002
01:36:34,530 --> 01:36:36,440
The interesting thing is that...

2003
01:36:36,482 --> 01:36:39,613
...the only time I knew
to their peers...

2004
01:36:39,650 --> 01:36:43,033
...that was when I met
to Scorsese and Spielberg.

2005
01:36:43,075 --> 01:36:46,271
I still have the cutout
from the newspaper...

2006
01:36:46,307 --> 01:36:49,088
...of John in his pilot, outside
from a sex shop in Melbourne.

2007
01:36:49,122 --> 01:36:51,031
I value it a lot.
It's very John.

2008
01:36:51,073 --> 01:36:52,896
It was very fun
and I would do it again.

2009
01:36:52,930 --> 01:36:55,319
I will do it again if anyone
he gives me the money.

2010
01:36:55,361 --> 01:36:57,565
He will make epic movies
with very little money...

2011
01:36:57,602 --> 01:36:59,511
...and I will be glad to have
the opportunity.

2012
01:36:59,553 --> 01:37:01,408
I loved working
with Brian.

2013
01:37:01,442 --> 01:37:05,337
Everything he did was great
and more exciting.

2014
01:37:05,378 --> 01:37:08,247
Making films was his forte.

2015
01:37:08,291 --> 01:37:10,560
And whether the rest
of the industry would think...

2016
01:37:10,594 --> 01:37:12,482
...that those movies were
of a worthy caliber...

2017
01:37:12,514 --> 01:37:14,522
...of the new industry
Australian film...

2018
01:37:14,562 --> 01:37:16,984
...it's really not important.
In retrospect, they all were.

2019
01:37:17,027 --> 01:37:19,546
- It was an adventure.
- It was like the Wild West.

2020
01:37:19,586 --> 01:37:23,131
It was completely exciting
be part of it.

2021
01:37:23,170 --> 01:37:26,137
It prepared you for a future...

2022
01:37:26,177 --> 01:37:28,927
...in a bigger world,
better, brighter.

2023
01:37:28,961 --> 01:37:33,118
It would finally be seen
like the lone cowboy type...

2024
01:37:33,154 --> 01:37:36,765
...that walks on the edge
of the prairie.

2025
01:37:36,802 --> 01:37:39,038
Maybe it's a little
like John Wayne...

2026
01:37:39,074 --> 01:37:42,107
...that comes out the door at the end
from "Desert Centaurs"...

2027
01:37:42,146 --> 01:37:44,634
...knowing that probably
you will never be invited...

2028
01:37:44,674 --> 01:37:46,616
...to stay by the fire,
but that's fine.

2029
01:37:46,658 --> 01:37:49,756
Please. go home,
take your money...

2030
01:37:49,793 --> 01:37:51,965
...retreat and get out of my life.
I hate you.

2031
01:37:52,001 --> 01:37:55,165
Toorak Drive-In on Fridays
At night it was the acid test.

2032
01:37:55,202 --> 01:37:58,398
It doesn't matter a bit if the critic
he had liked Friday...

2033
01:37:58,434 --> 01:38:00,157
If you get to the cinema on that hill...

2034
01:38:00,194 --> 01:38:02,299
and you see the cars giving
around the corner...

2035
01:38:02,338 --> 01:38:03,865
You think: "Damn,
"We have a movie."

2036
01:38:03,906 --> 01:38:05,150
You will get another one.

2037
01:38:05,186 --> 01:38:06,746
And I didn't do it to have
a bigger house.

2038
01:38:06,786 --> 01:38:08,030
I did it to make another movie.

2039
01:38:08,066 --> 01:38:10,367
The film industry is
a strange industry.

2040
01:38:10,402 --> 01:38:12,922
There are masterpieces
that rot in drawers...

2041
01:38:12,963 --> 01:38:16,127
...mediocrities that win
Oscar award.

2042
01:38:17,825 --> 01:38:19,767
It's an Australian expression.

2043
01:38:19,809 --> 01:38:22,908
Before you leave, return
the speaker to the stand...

2044
01:38:22,946 --> 01:38:27,037
...and then go ahead and move
towards the left.

2045
01:38:27,073 --> 01:38:28,350
Thank you all.

2046
01:38:28,385 --> 01:38:32,063
We trust that they have had
a very pleasant evening.

2047
01:38:32,098 --> 01:38:35,000
Dedicated to our friend,
Richard Franklin

2048
01:38:36,001 --> 01:38:41,901
