Futuristic setting when there have been major financial collapses, destabilising governments and creating high levels of unemployment. Sound familiar? Based upon a story by Peter Carey this has some seriousness and deals with the nation's difficulty in accepting non-white immigrants but basically this is just one big car chasing, fist fighting, race of a movie. With only a few bare tit shots to slow up the real action, this one doesn't stop till the stunt men presumably died. Ned Manning is for me a little under whelming in the lead role, but he's effective enough. The drive-in that serves for the post apocalyptic like setting for most of the film is very well established and there are some fantastic shots of punk like posers amidst a ruin of busted cars and sunbathers.
