Notes |
This movie was panned by critics, took five years to be released on video and, at the time of writing in Aus Film (1995) had "not had even a single theatrical screening in Australia subsequent to its initial run".
Having seen it , I wouldn't advise eating while watching it :-)
One quote:- "We're not tourists, we're Australians!".
