Rather an unpleasant and tedious watch
Rather an unpleasant and tedious watch with mundane storyline and only workmanlike direction. Bruno Lawrence carries the film as the distinctly uncharismatic scrapyard owner although his scenes with the excellent young girl Greer Robson are some of the best elements. Indeed what I did like here is the scrapyard itself, a quite amazing graveyard of old busted and rusting vehicles and the amazing snowy mountain backdrop. I also liked the performance of young Robson and if more could have been like the birthday cake scene all might have been well. I also thought the last 5 minutes or so were very well done and at least I ended the film with a smile on my face. Goodness only knows why fledgling director Roger Donaldson took on Australian newbie Anna Jemison who really seemed to struggle and has some of the most embarrassing scenes I recall seeing, the drunken and bed ones in particular. Overall this is a dull and dreary affair with only the aforementioned junk yard and young girl likely to remain in the memory – oh and the ultra embarrassing full frontal in the street from Bruno Lawrence.

Classic Kiwiana
I suspect a lot of people didn’t see or like this film because the subject matter was a bit close to home, especially with the gritty and realistic tone that so many NZ and Aussie movies had in that era with it culminating in Once Were Warriors in New Zealand and Mad Max in Australia with Mad Max going on to be eventually and inevitably Hollywoodised. As raw as Mad Max was I think Warriors would’ve been too raw for the Yanks. They like their action and drama but it has to be firmly in movie land, don’t we all really.

I was 2 when this movie came out here in NZ but watching it now makes me nostalgic for the small towns, old cars and bush which is funny because there’s a similar small town and bush about 30 mins drive away, not so many old cars though.

Good trip down memory lane if you grew up in the 80’s with solid acting from Bruno and supporting cast members. I vaguely remember it having a bit of a cult following in the 90’s along with Goodbye Pork Pie and Came a Hot Friday.
