Ozploitation movie posters

According to prolific cult director Brian Trenchard-Smith, Ozploitation is 'genre homage through an Australian lens: boisterous, anti-authoritarian, wide angle'.

Trenchard-Smith should know – he made many of the classics of the genre and is one of Quentin Tarantino’s favourite filmmakers.

His films feature heavily in the documentary Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation! (2008) and you can see local and international posters and lobby cards for many of them in this collection.

Titles featured include Dead End Drive-In (1986), The Man From Hong Kong (1975), BMX Bandits (1983) and Turkey Shoot (1982).
