Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter the release of the film, Russell Mulcahy received a surprise phone call from Steven Spielberg who was curious on how he achieved some of the effects in the dream sequence such as the shot of the two moons.
- GoofsThe car Beth is driving is a Ford. It has the brand tag in the front of the car in some scenes and then in other scenes, the brand tag isn't there.
- Quotes
Jake Cullen: [to Beth] There's something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day.
- Alternate versionsThe original Australian version of the film was edited down to secure a more commercial M rating (known as the "theatrical version") by removing 4 scenes of graphic violence. The cut scenes included footage of explicit gore and blood-spurts in the death of 3 of the characters plus the final killing of the razorback itself. The UK Anchor Bay and Australian Umbrella releases contain the theatrical version, though the 4 deleted scenes are available as extras on the Australian DVD.

Featured review
I first saw this film over 20 years ago and it has remained a favourite of mine ever since.The plot is a little bizarre but the performances and cinematography are excellent in evoking a nightmare world of loss,desperation and pain.I wouldn't automatically bracket this film as a "Horror" at all but more a violent depiction of loss and the need for revenge.The grandfather obsessively searching for the Razorback is brilliant-pain,loss and terrifying determination.For me the only down is the ending which I felt strays into "schlock horror" territory too much.It could have been much better and more interesting in keeping with the rest of the film but,overall,it doesn't do the film too much harm.Quirky,bizarre,nightmarish and crazy-nice one.
