Not Quite Hollywood

Not Quite Hollywood (2008) is the documentary to watch online on iFILM if you love trashy, gloriously reckless cinema. It digs up the buried history of Australian exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s — the "Ozploitation" boom that the country's respectable critics tried hard to forget.

While the world praised polite art-house pictures like Picnic at Hanging Rock, another scene was churning out something wilder: cheap horror, car-crash mayhem, raunchy sex comedies and stunt work that left crews terrified. Director Mark Hartley stitches together hundreds of jaw-dropping clips and dozens of interviews with the renegades who made them. Among the fans on camera is Quentin Tarantino, who treats these films like a personal film school.

The result is loud, fast and completely unashamed — the editing races, the storytellers laugh at their own disasters, and the blood keeps flowing. Perfect for anyone who likes movies about movies and grindhouse with zero snobbery. Stream Not Quite Hollywood (2008) online on iFILM.
