None,but after seeing those clips-the sexual ones-I hope to rent or get that documentary when it comes out on DVD.

The only one I've seen and got is Wolf Creek. Coffin Rock just came out and Dying Breed came out last year. I guess Rogue isn't really an ozploitation. To be honest, I didn't know there were so many!

You're spoiled now

not really into rating things out of 10 but these are the ones I've seen...

Mad Dog Morgan - pretty poorly directed but also a lot of fun.
Fair Game - excellent. Easily one of the best I've seen.
Wolf Creek (if it counts) - also excellent.
Mad Max - classic.
The Road Warrior - pretty good.
Mad Max III: Beyond Thunderdome - rubbish.
Stone - pretty funny, but not intentionally so.
Undead - recent zombie movie. Was a bit too silly for my liking.

Only Mad Max, but after watching it and the documentary I'm dying to see some Ozploitation, wonder where I can find'em

I seen Mad Max, Mad Max 2, Mad Max 3, Patrick and a film shown on there for a few seconds which is called Lady Stay Dead! A curious little film about a gardner obsessed with his film star employer! One day she has a rant at him for getting mud on the carpet so he rapes her and drowns her in the fish tank! As he's getting rid of the body her sister turns up so he tries to get rid of her too! About as obscure as they come and not as excting as it sounds!

Don't expect it to tango, it has a broken back - Herbert West (Re-animator)

The two Mad Max's, and Dead-End Drive-In. I really want to watch Next of Kin though. And the Howling III just looks amazing for all the wrong reasons.

Of the films discussed in NQH, I've seen the Mad Max films, Felicity (which I'd say is pretty good for a skin flick-not silly or mean spirited) & BMX Bandits (didn't realize that was a young Nicole Kidman at the time). looking forward to seeing what QT recommended.

I've seen "Melvin, the Son of Alvin" a zany cross between "Porky's" and "Airplane!"
The unwatchable "Howling 3" "Razorback" and "Stunt Rock." And of course the excellent Mad Max 1 and 2. Next I'm going to watch "Thirst."
