Spotswood
Malcolm
Chopper (it is B grade, but a very good one)
Romper Stomper
Two Hands
Blue Murder


B GRADE?
They are all A CLASS! :)

Malcolm is gold - got the DVD.
Colin Freils is great!! Always been a fan.

Two Hands is excellent.

(all of them are)


if you like Colin Friels see if you can get a hold of Ground Zero
early 80's film with him in it about Maralinga, good flick

Do you mean "tautology" :?:


Same thing aren't they? :?

An oxymoron is a contradiction in terms. A tautology is unnecessary embellishment meaning exactly the same thing.

It 'stars' Jim from Neighbours (whose swearing is so inappropriate your sides will ache), Animal from Hey Hey its Saturday, Gavin Wood from Countdown and features a fantastic camp cameo from John Michael Howson. Honestly you will never see a worse film than this. It's that great!!

Houseboat Horror, sounds like Mick's posts on the Roost with all his pics after a trip up the river. :lol:


Thanks mate :roll:

:twisted: 'THE UNDEAD' :twisted:
Classic Aussie zombie flick, well worth checking out eh!
So good Punky, I had a copy but I lent it to someone & never got it back!
:x (that emoticon give ya clue of the culprit's identity?)
But probably the best Aussie 'B' grade flicks would have to be
'STONE' & "Where be Pop?" 'BAD BOY BUBBY'
GO THE GROWL!!!

Cool! You can get Houseboat Horror on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HOUSEBOAT-HORROR ... dZViewItem

I like the sticker on the box: "With knockout Brian Mannix Song Hits!"
