This movie is more relevant today than when it was made..late 78.. it kinda predicts the future.
Today the words that start this movie are more prophetic than ever. Something like "...people who are different are tolerated until society needs someone to blame.." The movie follows two bikers who call themselves "Space Cadets" and who upset someone who seems to be connected to some group with a kind of "black mass connection.." They want a human sacrifice...and they need scapegoats..sounds like 9-11 and Bin Laden..or Terry Hicks and the others held with no trials at Guantanimo Bay.
The movie has a slow start but just keeps getting faster. The dialog is very uniquely Australian and I'm amazed that many of these "sayings" ..the slang...did not make it to the public use of language.
Its a time capsule from a time when people still thought for them selves AND with the prediction that a "lynch mob" attitude was coming..and IT HAS I like this movie and I went back and purchased the rental copy [$15.00]
