This was a an absolutely brilliant documentary on the history of film making back in the 70s and 80s in the Philippines.
Why the Philippines? Because it was cheap....very cheap and pretty much no rules with what you could do.
Most of the movies made then were b grade or grindhouse made for the drive ins. Though one big budget classic was made there ..... Apocalypse Now.
This documentary was made by the same people who made Not Quite Hollywood and Electric Boogaloo -The Wild, Untold Story Of Canno Films...both of witch are brilliant documentaries as well.
Great insights from Roger Corman, Pam Grier, John Landis, Joe Dante, R. Lee Emery Sid Haig, Chris Mitchum etc.
If you love 70s, 80s B movies this documentary is a must see!!!

Wow.....who wrote this film? A child?
This is a pretty bad film.
Acting is not great.....cgi is horrible.....and the story.....well that is really bad.
After a tsunami a grocery store is flooded but the carpark underneath is not completely flooded!!!
Or the people sitting in their BMW underwater with NOT one bit of water entering the car!!! Come on!!
I love Aussie movies but this one really gives Aussie film makers a bad name.
I also have never walked out of a film or not ever watched a film to the end.....this one I came so close to just turning it off but didn't.
If you want a good laugh it might be a ok film to watch....but that's it.

Wasn't sure going into this whether it would be a good film or not. I was leaning to the latter.
I just don't remember anything about it when it came out (I would of been 16) and not really the type of movie I would of been into at the time.
But very glad I have finally seen it now....well worth watching.
Very realistic of some Australian country towns of the time where women/girls were treated this way.
I was surprised at how good this film actually is.
I thought the acting was good and Deborah Lee Furness and Simone Buchanan were great.
A very moving film especially if you have a young daughter.
I was surprised at how good this film actually was.....wish I'd watched it sooner!
