NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (2008)

SAT 13TH OF DEC |

SYNOPSIS: It's the wild, untold story of "OZPLOITATION" movies -
a time when Australian cinema got its gear off and showed the world a full-

action! Jam packed full of outrageous anecdotes, lessons in maverick
filmmaking and a genuine, infectious love of Australian movies, NOT QUITE
HOLLYWOOD is a fast moving journey through Aussie genre cinema of the 70s
and early 80s - an unjustly forgotten cinematic era unashamedly packed full of
boobs, pubes, tubes... and even a little kung fu.

you’re a regular reader you know that B MOVIE NEW is located
