Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFour hundred real bikers participated as extras in the famous highway funeral procession sequence seen at the beginning of this film.
- Alternate versionsThe original Australian theatrical cut ran 132 minutes, but director Sandy Harbutt was unhappy with this version: due to the film's hastened post-production, he was unable to properly view it in its entirety, and deemed the finished result overlong. When optioned for video release by Roadshow Home Video, Harbutt requested that he re-cut the film so that it reflected his original vision. The original Australian video release (circa 1985) runs 98 minutes and carries a "Director Approved" message coupled with Harbutt's signature. It is this significantly shorter "Director's Cut", which saw a 1995 21st Anniversary re-release through Premium Films, that has remained in circulation since. The scenes exclusive to the theatrical version would not be made commercially available until they were presented as a special feature of Umbrella Entertainment's 2021 Blu-ray release of the film.

Featured review
I heard of this film about 6 months ago when Tarantino said that "it's the best Aussie exploitation film" i had to see what it was about. I am only a young guy but i appreciated the whole funeral scene on the F3, made me feel like i was actually there and could feel the bridge between the old generation who knew of this film to my generation who know nothing of this film. Sandy Harbutt used whatever he could find to make this film on such a budget could hardly be done now. Action stunts, a tad of gore, nudity and language are expressed in the film as a tad silly and over the top but it's suited for the time-frame the movie was shot in, isn't that what Exploitation is all about? Violence, Sex and Gore/Language? Barely any plot to move a story like this going? Well i thought of it that way since i am into my Cult/Exploitation and Horror, but it's good to see old Aussie films like this gem truly exist for people like us to see. A friend of mine from work knew who the spray painter of the cars was in this movie and still knows him today, so i got more of a profound idea of where this movie was shot, in NSW. Go out and see this film, low on plot and acting but high on emotions and nostalgia, Great work Sandy Harbutt.
