No worries.

Thanks!

This was at the tail end of Australia’s big exploitation film boom which had a lot of high priced productions that were taken as tax write-offs, not unlike what Canada did in the 1970’s and 1980’s. #CultShelf

Thanks!

And with that, we leave the drive-in! Thanks #CultShelf brethren! Friday, we go to HAUSU (HOUSE)! Until then, take care and get some sleep!

So yeah, this set a world record for a truck jump: about 162 feet. #CultShelf

#cultshelf Hey, you tried saving your girlfriend from a racist gang, and it didn’t pan out. Shit happens.

#cultshelf We got an even better car stunt coming up…

Who doesn’t like a car chase in a drive-in? #CultShelf

Probably good he gets out of there before the place turns into an RNC wet dream. #CultShelf

White people blaming their plight on other cultures and races? The deuce you say. #CultShelf

Well, gas can move a car without an engine, right? #CultShelf

Oh, right. Just some non-white people being moved into the drive-in. That should go well. #CultShelf

#cultshelf I’m starting to suspect sabotage.

Cricket bat? #CultShelf

#cultshelf I’m sure this plan of luring the wayward youth into a drive-in concentration camp has some long-term problems we haven’t discovered yet.

Well, his girlfriend is adapting to this new life really quickly. #CultShelf

I mean, better AC and sleeping accommodations, and I’m there. #CultShelf

Probably more San Bernardino hosting Coachella. #CultShelf

This is based on a short story by Australian writer Peter Carey. He also co-wrote the script for Wim Wenders’ UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD (a possible “stay tuned eventually” here until we can figure out how the hell to watch an almost five hour movie). #CultShelf

More like forced to live there. #CultShelf

Afraid not. #CultShelf

I don’t think they’ll be leaving for a while. Or ever. #CultShelf

#cultshelf Peter Whitford as the drive-in clerk probably might be better known for being in Australian movies like MY BRILLIANT CAREER and STRICTLY BALLROOM.

I mean, they can wait until TURKEY SHOOT stops showing. #CultShelf

Um, you haven’t noticed that the cars seem to share something similar to your car? Like a wheel missing? #CultShelf

You may notice a few of the director’s previous movies showing on the drive-in screen. This was a working drive-in in Australia until a year before filming started when it closed down. #CultShelf

#cultshelf Maybe just me, but I wouldn’t enter a drive-in with a remote gate and a government warning sign.
