NSFW: Not Quite Hollywood Movie Trailer
History books say that Australia was founded by criminals, crabs and derelicts, so why shouldn’t the land’s cinema reflect such ribald and humble beginnings? The new documentary,Not Quite Hollywood, takes a look at ’70s/’80s “Ozploitation” (what a sweet word) from the eyes of endless players (Jamie Lee Curtis,George Miller,George Lazenby) and admirers—yeah, you just knew thatQuentin Tarantinowould be available to tell youhow it beandhow it used to be. When it comes to docs like this (btw: you must NetflixZ-Channel!), QT’s that lone guy in the theater whenever you walk in 25-mins early.
TheNQHtrailer overfloweth with pricelessFango-gasm gore, supple eroticism, and the always lovelyStacy Keachsaying “rape” and pontificating about his and Curtis’s 1981 hitchhiker thriller gemRoadgames. I’ve seen a lot of B-movies, but I’m not sure just how much altered-state Aussie celluloid has floated through my brain over the years. Off the bat, I’d recommend seeing Peter’s Weir’s mindfuck,The Last Wave,and recommend knowing about (but not seeing) the only killer feral pig movie,Razorback—sounds great, I know, but it plays like a neverending Duran Duran video. Also: you pretty much see all of the feral pig footage in that entire film in this trailer. All in all, this is a colorful-looking doc from sometime directorMark Hartley. Film history, for your health.
