La terrorista

Run Chrissie Run is a terribly disjointed film, which doesn't know which way it wants to go. The movie can't quite make up it's mind, what it wants to be, so fate lies in the hands of the script. We have a Mad Max that makes the film look more stupid, or out of character. The whole scene of the film doesn't fit. There's too much of one thing and less of another. It's like something done out of frustration, and has a cut and paste feel about it. Ex terrorist, Carmen Duncan, wasted here, flees with her teen daughter (Neighbor's Annie Jones) to, yeah, the Barossa in S.A, to escape the terrorist husband, Michael Aitkens, who's in some real deep s..t. As if to make it more exciting, they've added a subplot, involving some mean bikers, who Duncan and the lass butt heads with, at the Tungkillo pub as I recall, where also those graffit'd rocks nearby, are shown. The bikers are led by skinhead, Eadie, where ironically, it's a shame, as he gives one of his best performances. He just stumbled onto the wrong movie. Watch for Red Symons as one of these henchman, Fits, who controls Eadie and his goons. A missible affair, which I might videe one more time. That's in the very far future.

(1984) Moving Targets/ Run Chrissie Run!

ACTION THRILLER

Adapted from the novel by Keith Leopold that involves a mother, Eve (Carmen Duncan) and her young teenage daughter, Chrissie (Annie Jones) on the run from different groups of people at different points of time. One of those people also includes her terrorist husband, Riley (Michael Aitkens), a biker gang led by Toe (Nicholas Eadie) and the IRA.

If I am judging this movie by the story then it is not very good, but if I am judging this by the action, some had said it's like a poor variation of a Mad Max movie then I am going to have to say it's quite good.

I recently watched the Australian grindhouse film 🇦🇺 Run Chrissie Run (1984) on Tubi. The plot revolves around a German female operative who flees with her teenage daughter to hide in Australia. A man is dispatched to track her down, aided by a local gang member with his own agenda against the operative. Will the mother and daughter manage to evade their pursuers, or will they ultimately confront them in an epic showdown?

Directed by Chris Langman (Crazy Girl Undercover), the cast includes Carmen Duncan (Ash vs Evil Dead), Michael Aitkens (Class Act), Shane Briant (Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell), and Annie Jones (Neighbours).

Run Chrissie Run falls into the category of average movies with a storyline just compelling enough to maintain interest, but lacking any standout qualities. The film features some noteworthy car chase scenes, particularly the one through the market. However, the acting leaves much to be desired, and certain sequences come across as cheesy. Despite its shortcomings, the film offers sufficient intrigue to keep viewers engaged until the end.

In conclusion, Run Chrissie Run presents a unique premise within the grindhouse genre, making it worth a watch for those seeking something different. I would rate it 5.5/10 and recommend it with appropriate expectations.
