Wyrd War invites you to experience the ultimate Ozploitation drive-in double feature in celebration of cult Australian filmmaker Brian Trenchard-Smith’s 78th birthday! That’s right. Pack your car with as many mutants as you can legally fit and join us on Saturday June 1 at 99W Drive-In Theatre in Newberg, Oregon for a double dose of the wildest 80s sci-fi action to ever emerge from Down Under! DEAD END DRIVE-IN (1986) is a neon-drenched dystopian classic that pits new wave punks against a future fascist state in a race for freedom! After the economic collapse of Australia, police forces lure society’s unemployable youth into decadent drive-in movie theaters that turn out to be…concentration camps! Featuring the amazing car stunts of MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR veteran Guy Norris, DEAD END DRIVE-IN is a high-octane whirlwind of stylized violence and wry commentary on conformist 80s values. Future punk attire is strongly encouraged!
TURKEY SHOOT (1982), also known as ESCAPE 2000, is the unhinged and ultra-violent genre mashup against which all subsequent grindhouse films should be measured! In yesterday’s future Australia, undesirables are imprisoned in brutal “re-education” camps where they are tortured and hunted for sport by guards and sadists of the ruling class. But all bets are off at Camp 47! Steve Railsback and an international cast of notables collide in this explosive reimagining of the literary classic The Most Dangerous Game. A satirical retort to Cold War totalitarianism…or a low budget excuse to get Olivia Hussey in a shower room? “ALL DEVIANTS REPORT TO CENTER COMPOUND!"
Gates open at 6:00pm for car parking and birthday cake! First film starts at dusk. Brian Trenchard-Smith will be signing copies of his memoir ADVENTURES IN THE B MOVIE TRADE before the films. He will also happily sign memorabilia for no additional fee.
