Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Terry Bourke made this between horror films; the costume quote in marketing was likely honest desperation, not irony.

Cultural

Part of Australia's brief 1970s 'ocker' comedy boom, where working-class vulgarity briefly dominated local box offices before dying embarrassingly.
