Fortress (of course)
Mad Max
The Road Warrior
The Quest (aka The Go Kids)
The Earthling

Since when is SHAKA ZULU an Aussie production?

[–] CooperCamden 12 years ago

MAD MAX was actually released in the 70s.

Don't forget VICIOUS(1988), written by P.J. Hogan, who went on to do MURIEL'S WEDDING, MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING, and the latest version of PETER PAN. A tight, pulpy thriller.
