Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The giant boar animatronic cost $250,000 and broke down constantly in the Outback heat, forcing crew to shoot around it.
This is peak Ozploitation—Australia's answer to Jaws that somehow became a calling card for Mulcahy, who'd direct Highlander just two years later with the exact same visual bombast.
