Audience Member Dead End-Drive In is a good mix of Mad Max and Clockwork Orange for ozploitation film and is really fun 86 minute action film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/22 Full Review delysid d this is sort of a mad max or escape from new york wannabe, so if you like that kind of 80s crud, its for you but im not much of a fan Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/21/18 Full Review Audience Member Very underrated 80's Post-apocalyptic drive-in prison. Creative to a high point. They just don't make movies like this anymore. If you've never seen will make your day memorable. 5/5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I finally got around to seeing this one, and this movie serves as a reminder of how Australian films are the best at portraying the Wasteland. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts by ticking you into thinking it's going to be one of the 47 million Mad Max rip offs that was released around the same time, but quickly takes a left turn into "poignant social commentary". Keeps the punks though, so that's cool. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Strong premise but with an unsatisfactory pace. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
