Episode 112

Dead End Drive In

In this weeks episode, Adam and Mark talk about the 1986 Australian exploitation dystopian action film directed by legend Brian Trenchard-Smith (the brains behind BMX Bandits, Turkey Shoot and The Man From Hong Kong) with a script loosely based on a short story by Peter Carey. Dead End Drive In.

Stuck delivering hot dogs in a Morris van, Jimmy ‘Crabs’ Rossini (Ned Manning) strives to emulate his tow-truck driver brother Frank (Wallabies loose head prop Ollie Hall). Driving an F100 wrapped in protective steel bars, Frank battles other towies and marauding looters for precious car parts in a society teetering toward social and economic collapse.

Crabs lusts after Frank’s beloved ’56 Chevrolet, and pilfers the immaculate two-door for a night of passion with teenage runaway Carmen (the late Natalie McCurry) at the Star Drive-In cinema.

Trouble starts when the Chev’s rear wheels are stolen, and escalates when Crabs discovers that two police officers are behind the theft. When confronted, sleazy proprietor Thompson (Peter Whitford) reveals that the cinema is actually a government-run prison camp for delinquent youth. Once trapped behind an electrified fence, they’re plied with junk food, drugs, exploitation movies and and degenerate new wave music from the likes of Hunters & Collectors, Kids In The Kitchen and Machinations .
