Australian/New Zealand movies: 1992

Still going through a lull in the number of Australian movies that are being made with a number of movies starring international actors so much so even New Zealand movies are also importing actors. Yet there's still some good nudity including in the Z-grade exploitation movie Bloodlust, full-on drama favourite Romper Stomper and the arty New Zealand drama The Footstep Man.

1992

Alex (Aus/NZ)
aka Alex: The Spirit of a Champion

New Zealand-made sporting drama but with plenty of Australian influence. School girl Alex (Lauren Jackson) is a star New Zealand 100 metres freestyle swimmer who's looking very likely to make the 1960 Olympic team until out-of-nowhere a rival in Maggie (Cathy Godbold) defeats her and continues to beat her which puts Alex on the back foot. Alex is a high-achiever who does plenty of extra-curricular activities and her loyal coach (Chris Haywood) wants her to concentrate on her swimming. Then the setbacks start happening. She gets a broken leg while playing hockey at school then her boyfriend gets hit by a car and dies. She starts to question whether she wants to continue but then she has a breakthrough in training that brings her back up-to-speed with Maggie. That's when Maggie's mother and the swimming board try to stop Alex from achieving her dream. A solid but fairly predictable story where even with everything thrown at Alex you know she's going to succeed. Also falls into the problem that swimming is a hard sport to portray visually as it doesn't look as exciting as other sports do on screen. Still it's a pretty solid movie.

Strangely for a fairly G/PG rated movie there's a scene where Alex strips off her clothes and goes for a swim in the water. Don't know if ti's Lauren Jackson but we see the bottom of whoever it is as they walk into the water. There's also other videos of both Lauren and Cathy Godbold in bathing suits.

Backsliding

Three-handed psychological thriller where a loved up couple Alison (Odile Le Clezio) and Jack (Jim Holt) run a remote power station in the desert when Tom (Tim Roth, just before Reservoir Dogs) arrives to be the maintenance worker. It turns out that Tom isn't actually qualified to do the job he's hired to do but he's stuck there until someone can come get him. Also Jack is slowly driving himself crazy with the loneliness, the heat and his devotion to religion and then he goes missing for a while. When Jack arrives back, everyone is on edge and it's a fight for survival but not necessarily from the most obvious source. Sparse thriller that goes a different direction to what you're expecting as you'd think the newcomer would be the lunatic especially casting Tim Roth but no he's the 'sensible' one. Gets a bit silly in the end and all feels very minor which would probably explain why it's a very obscure movie.

There's no nudity in Backsliding but there's a couple of sexy scenes featured below.

Bloodlust

Ultra low budget vampire exploitation movie about a group of psychotic vampires Tad (Robert James O'Neill), Lear (Jane Stuart Wallace) and Frank (Kelly Chapman) who roam around Melbourne looking for their next victims to have sex and then suck them dry of their blood. They need money so they rob an illegal casino run by gangster Stieg (Paul Moder) who wants to make them suffer and the vampires have also got the attention of couple of crooked cops and a manic bible thumping preacher Brother Bem (Phil Motherwell) and his disciples. Oh, it's going to be a sex-fuelled, blood-soaked fight for survival in Geeksville. It's everything you'd expect from a low budget exploitation movie and more but it's also very cheap looking. The movie is a lot of fun and doesn't try to be anything but exploitation so if you're not into this sort of thing, you'll probably hate it. But it delivers what you expect it should.

A whole lot of nudity from Kelly Chapman throughout the movie plus Rosie D'Urso briefly shows her breasts. There's also a shitload of extra scenes on the DVD that has further nudity from Kelly plus Claire Paradine and Lesley Crofts.

Crush (NZ)

Drama about two friend Christina (Donogh Rees) and her American friend Lane (Marcia Gay Harden) who get into a car accident when Lane drives too fast which she escapes and leaves Christina for dead. With nowhere to go, Lane ends up in Rotorua and decides to make her presence with the writer Christina was to interview but meets his tomboy teenage daughter Angela (Caitlin Bossley) and takes an interest in her, giving her a dress and inviting her to the local hangout. Lane then meets Angela's father Colin (William Zappa) and it isn't long before they become romantically involved. Angela starts visiting the comatose Christina in hospital and meets Horse (Pete Smith) who has a broken leg. He takes an unhealthy sexual interest in Angela but she doesn't seem to mind. Lane moves in with Colin by stealth which causes Angela to turn on her and when Christina wakes up, Angela plants the seeds of Lane causing her brain injury which gives Christina ideas of revenge. Superb drama with some great performances and is very tense leading to a shocking ending.

Some brief nudity from Marcia Gay Hayden in a few scenes plus a brief scene where Donogh Rees lifts up her hospital gown and reveals a breast.

The Footstep Man (NZ)

Highly unique drama about a sound technician/foley artist Sam (Steven Grives) who is providing the sound for an arty movie about Toulouse-Lautrec and his lover directed by Vida (Rosey Jones). The movie is a bleak look at their lives but it is starting to affect Sam who takes a liking to one of the characters in the movie, Mirielle (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) and he starts seeing her in everything and he just might be cracking up, again. After Vida asks him to fire his assistant, Sam takes over and completely immerses himself in the movie to the point where he thinks Mirielle is talking to him and she is taking over the equipment in the studio which causes Sam to tell Vida to give Mirielle a much more uplifting ending which Vida resists until she comes to terms with her own trauma. Incredibly inside baseball movie where a whole lot of the movie is a movie within a movie, a fascinating look at the process of the making a movie. But it's also a dour look at the process and the characters are hard to warm to as they live in their own world, coupled with movie within the movie characters being actual characters in the main movie making the movie a constant chore to keep abreast with what's going on. A truly unique movie that's almost impossible to find. I had to get it on DVD from the Netherlands as it's not available on DVD anywhere else even New Zealand.

There's brief nudity from Rosey Jones (who also has some great nudity in Afraid to Dance) plus a whole lot of nudity from Jennifer Ward-Lealand.

Fortress

Hollywood comes to the Gold Coast with the first movie made at the Movie World Studios. John (Christopher Lambert) and his wife Karen (Loryn Locklin) are locked in an impenetrable prison after Karen becomes pregnant when she isn't allowed. John attempts to find his way out so she can give birth but an increasing number of oddballs will do anything to stop them. Pretty simple movie, exactly what you'd expect from something starring Christopher Lambert even with the occasional strange touch of cult director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator).

Loryn Locklin briefly shows her bottom and is 'nude' in the shower plus someone called Kirralee briefly shows her breasts.

You can find a synopsis with HD videos from Fortress here. A preview is below.

Hurricane Smith

Another Gold Coast movie this time an action thriller where Texan oil worker Billy 'Hurricane' Smith (Carl Weathers) goes looking for his missing sister who was last seen on the Gold Coast. After asking around, Hurricane comes across sex worker Julie (Cassandra Delaney) who seems to know her but her pimp (David Argue) chases him away. Hurricane follows Julie and her pimp to local kingpin Charlie (Jürgen Prochnow) where he subsequently enters the house and knocks out Charlie and Hurricane escapes with Julia who agrees to tell him what she knows. Charlie and his goons go after Hurricane and after a number of scrapes including one involving someone who might know where his sister is, he finds out the truth about his sister and decides that there's only one recourse and that's to kill Charlie. Low rent action thriller obviously trying to cash in on the success of Action Jackson but has none of the stuff that makes that movie work. A lot of silliness and a ridiculous plot don't help plus the Gold Coast has the amazing ability to make anything look more low rent than it is.

Brief nudity from Cassandra Delaney and Louise McDonald.

The Last Days of Chez Nous

Gillian Armstrong-directed comedy/drama where a family is about to go through a major upheaval. Vicki (Kerry Fox) comes back from overseas and moves in with her much older sister Beth (Lisa Harrow), her French husband J.P. (Bruno Ganz) and Beth's daughter Annie (Miranda Otto). Things are fine at first and the household even takes in a boarder Tim (Kiri Paramore). Then Vicki finds out she's pregnant and after a long deliberation she decides to have an abortion while Beth helps her. Beth decides to go on holiday with her father (Bill Hunter) to Uluru so that they can better connect with one another. J.P. is not loving Australia, particularly the hot weather and when Beth goes away, he starts to see Vicki in a different light. Annie and Tim become an item and after one hot night, so do J.P. and Vicki and they begin an affair. Beth arrives back from her holiday and the tension in the household grows. OK slice-of-life drama where the plot is mostly inconsequential to what the characters bring and most of the characters are fairly interesting. It does feel strange that Vicki and Beth are sisters because there's quite a gap in their ages to the point where they could be mother/daughter. The movie is quite fun and there isn't a huge deal made about the affair even if it ends in a major change. Also interesting that the three leads are all overseas actors playing a family in Sydney.

Very brief nudity from Lisa Harrow and Kerry Fox.

Mad Bomber in Love

How's this for obscure. Never released on VHS or DVD and only played late night on TV back in the mid-90s. A bizarre comedy thriller where Bernard Lynch (Craig Pearce, who co-wrote Strictly Ballroom) ingratiates himself into a sharehouse after a night out with one of the tenants Julie (Rachel Szalay) but it soon turns out that he's the mad bomber that is currently terrorising the city. Julie thinks it's great to begin with because he seems to be supporting worthy causes but when an amoral TV reporter (Alan Lovell) rats him out on TV, he turns into a psychopath who entombs the house and forces it's tenants to live under his tyrannical reign. Mildly funny satire that has it's limitations, mostly budgetary but also there's only so much you can do in a share house movie before it gets repetitive. There's a slew of cameos from better known actors and the movie feels very Sydney.

There's no nudity in Mad Bomber in Love but there's sexy stuff in low quality videos available here.

 

 

Map of the Human Heart

New Zealand director Vincent Ward brings his unique visuals to this multi-national production. An old Inuit man on an Arctic base, Avik (Jason Scott Lee in old man make-up) tells his story to an American surveyor (John Cusack) before he leaves about when he was a young boy and he was brought to Canada by an English surveyor (Patrick Bergin) after he falls ill and is nursed back to health at a hospital where he meets a young girl Albertine and they form a friendship before she is taken away. Years later the boy is reunited with Albertine (Anne Parillaud) and their connection is reignited as they both take roles during World War II. There's just one problem and it's that Albertine is with the surveyor and he's none-too-happy about their growing love for one another. Very depressing romantic drama with a real downer of an ending that didn't need to happen but a fairly decent movie otherwise. Not a lot of scope for Ward to bring his usual visual prowess but the Dresden bombing scene is a highlight.

Brief nudity from French actress Anne Parillaud.

Married (NZ)

60 minute drama from Gaylene Preston about a married couple Trish (Tracey Moore) and Kevin (Jed Brophy) who decide to have a night out away from their two annoying kids. Trish has set everything up but Kevin meets up with his buddies from a band and decides to spend the day with them which turns into night and Trish reluctantly tags along instead of being miserable at home because Kevin's neglected her again. It seems Kevin is more interested in being with his friends than her. It doesn't help that the babysitter gets drunk. Can their marriage survive this horrible night? OK drama where everything goes against Trish and this seems like a regular thing but it ends in a way that suggests it's just another day. You feel for Trish because this just seems like it's going to keep happening again and again. Features an early role for Robyn Malcolm as the singer in the band.

Sort-of brief nudity from Tracey Moore as she lies atop a bloke as they attempt to have sex.

The Nun and the Bandit

Psychological drama from Paul Cox about a farmer Michael (Chris Haywood) who lives with his discarded brothers/half brothers and becomes incensed when he finds out his father died with a large estate and he's not getting any. He comes to town to demand what's rightfully his but his heirs push him away when he demands $50,000. Michael isn't happy so he kidnaps one of the heir's daughters Julie (Charlotte Haywood) who is travelling with a nun Sister Lucy (Gosia Dobrowolska). Michael wants Sister Lucy to go back to town to tell the family what he's done but she won't leave Julie so Michael ends up kidnapping both of them. Well, the family won't pay the ransom, Michael's brothers think he's gone mad and when Michael is rejected, we turns his attention to Lucy and decides to make her his wife, much to her objection. Strange misfire from Paul Cox that never really gets going particularly when the movie turns into a two-hander in the second half where the rest of the cast seems to have abandoned it. The movie then dawdles to its ending.

A few brief nude scenes from Gosia Dobrowolska, regularly naked in Paul Cox productions.

Over the Hill

Drama about a newly widowed woman Alma (American actress Olympia Dukakis) who comes to Australia to hang out with her daughter Elizabeth (Sigrid Thornton) but she's too busy with her husband's political campaign. Alma then finds a car that reminds her of her youth and decides to drive 'the long way' to Melbourne. Alma meets various characters in rural Australia including travelling dentist Dutch (English actor Derek Fowlds) and they both fall for one another. But Alma is concerned about her daughter and tries to help her decide what she really wants in life. Silly movie that gets more annoying when it becomes a mother/daughter story because it never really feels like Alma or Elizabeth could be ever related not helped by Alma being from America. A mess.

Some brief nudity from Olympia Dukakis as she hangs out with some Indigenous women plus some very brief nudity from Andrea Moor while swimming in a river.

You can find a synopsis with VHS videos from Over the Hill here. A preview is below.

Redheads
aka Desperate Prey

Loopy thriller where juvenile delinquent Lucy (Claudia Karvan) visits her lawyer (Mark Hembrow) in the dead of night after stealing some jewellery which she wants him to fence also they are sleeping with one another. Then there's a knock at the door where a person in a motorcycle helmet shoots dead the lawyer and Lucy barely escapes in her underwear and a videotape of the murder. Lucy gets herself arrested to avoid the killer but now she needs a new lawyer and it comes in newcomer Diana (Catherine McClements). Things start to point that Lucy is in the middle of a conspiracy and that the killer knows she's a witness. After escaping near death by drowning, Lucy hides out with Diana only for a number of suspects to come forward wanting Lucy for themselves. Incredibly silly thriller which plays up a very obvious red herring and then the killer is unveiled in a spectacularly silly way. Karvan and McClements are OK although the significance of them being redheads doesn't extend much beyond it being the title. Get the feeling this would've worked better as a more comedic movie considering how silly it gets at times and occasionally it threatens to but never does.

There's no nudity in Redheads but there's a lengthy video of Claudia Karvan in her underwear which is available here.

 

 

Romper Stomper

Full on thriller that follows a group of skinheads living rough in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. Led by Hando (Russell Crowe), the skinheads attempt to cause damage and lead the Nazi lifestyle while living on the edge of society. Hando is with Gabe (Jacqueline McKenzie) but then his second-in-command Davey (Daniel Pollock) takes an interest in her. This interest takes flight after the skinheads are attacked by a group of Vietnamese men who want revenge for a previous attack and the gang are left to fend for themselves. Davey and Gabe fall for one another and when Hando finds out, all hell breaks loose. Strangely the searing drama of the first half of the movie is left behind for a silly love triangle which feels like a real step-down from what came before it. Career making performances from Crowe and McKenzie and sadly Daniel Pollock died before the movie was released.

Some good nudity from Jacqueline McKenzie including what looks like a real sex scene.

A Slow Night at the Kuwaiti Cafe

Boulevard Films strikes again. This time a ridiculous drama about a Vietnam veteran Charlie (Mike Bishop) who goes to the newly opened Kuwaiti Cafe that has opened across from where's his living on the night before the Gulf War is about to start. It is run by Iraqi immigrant Rashid (Tiriel Mora) and after some initial chat, Charlie brings out a gun and holds Rashid hostage with the demand that he speak to Saddam Hussein. Well that's not going to happen so Charlie and Rashid chat about a wide variety things before a police officer (Fiona Corke) enters to get takeaway and Charlie then holds her hostage. Things are going nowhere until a belly dancer Bethsheda (Tania Lacy) arrives and gives Charlie the idea to call a reporter from CNN to get his demands heard. Basically a filmed play, it's a ludicrous idea that barely runs 70 minutes but feels like an eternity. Then little nuggets of information get added and Charlie just seems more and more like a raving lunatic. Very silly stuff and displays not even a base knowledge of how things work.

No nudity in the movie but Tania Lacy arrives in a belly dancer's outfit to liven things up for a few minutes.

Strictly Ballroom

Crowd-pleasing debut from Baz Luhrmann, basically a parody of the close knit ballroom dancing scene where egos are huge and hair-dos are bigger. After a disastrous turn at the dancing championships, Scott (Paul Mercurio) and Liz (Gia Carides) split up because of Scott's outlandish moves. He decides to look for a new partner but nobody fits the bill until ugly duckling Fran (Tara Morice) comes along and despite her lack of experience, they hit it off both as dancing and romantic partners. This comes to a head at the Pacific Championships when Scott decides a last minute change of partner for Fran which sets the dancefloor alight. It is what it is, I'm not a fan of Luhrmann but he sure knows how to crowd=pleasing. I just find his movies way too corny.

No nudity in the movie but I've made a few videos of the sexy outfits from the movie.

Turtle Beach

Drama about a journalist Judith (Greta Scacchi) who decides to report on the Vietnamese refugee problem in Malaysia with the help of a Chinese woman Minou (Joan Chen) who is hoping that her own children will arrive on one of the boats one day. One night she witnesses a massacre of refugees by the military at Turtle Beach and Judith then decides to expose what really going on. Along the way she has an affair with a local man Kanan (Art Malik). OK movie, one of a number of Australian movies that go into the troubles in Asia.

Brief nudity from Greta Scacchi and Joan Chen also shows her bottom.

Movies that don't have anything to cap in them include the wacky Miranda Otto horse girl comedy Daydream Believer aka The Girl Who Came Late, Secrets which is a drama about a bunch of people trying to get in to see the Beatles when they arrived in Melbourne, low key comedy Greenkeeping, crazy Troma backed live action/animated cross breed Virgin Beasts, drama Eight Ball, nutty comedy about garbage men Garbo, docudrama The Last Man Hanged, Indigenous drama Jindalee Lady plus a bunch of kids telemovies Big Ideas, Clowning Around, The Distant Home and The Time Game. There's also the New Zealand movies The Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior plus the batshit crazy Peter Jackson classic Braindead aka Dead Alive.

I wasn't able to find copies of Academy, Ninja, late career John D. Lamond North of Chiang Mai and Seeing Red.

1993 looks like having a similar output to the previous couple of years.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1991

Quite a drop-off of the number of movies in 1991 and a significant number of them are either co-productions or starring international actors. Not a whole lot to cap throughout the year's movies with only the erotic thriller Hunting having fairly extensive nudity.

1991

Bis ans Ende der Welt
aka Until the End of the World

German director Wim Wenders was basically given a blank cheque after the success of Wings of Desire and his next feature was a futuristic multi-national and multi-lingual wistful journey into what would hopefully be a better future. And it's completed length is 4 hours and 47 minutes long. In 1999, everything changes for Claire (German actress Solveig Dommartin) after a car accident where she comes across two bank robbers who offer her a cut of their proceeds if she delivers it to their source. On her way there, she meets 'Trevor McPhee' (William Hurt), a sketchy character and instantly falls for him and after he steals some of the money, she decides to chase after him through a number of countries and there's no end of people who want to 'help' including her on-off ex Eugene (Sam Neill), a dodgy but effective private detective Phillip (Rüdiger Vogler) and a mysterious Australian man Burt (Ernie Dingo) among others. Turns out that 'Trevor' is actually Sam, son of the inventor of the portable screen Henry (Max von Sydow) who is hiding from government forces in the Australian outback with his blind wife Edith (Jeanne Moreau) attempting to find a way to make her see. Extremely inclusive movie where everyone seems to be along for the journey and there's some interesting ideas and a lot of musing about how things could be both personally and for the whole world. There's a lot to like in the movie but at nearly 5 hours it's a trial to watch but one I found pretty watchable for the most part.

There's quite a number of nude scenes from Solveig Dommartin throughout the movie, most of them are brief so I put them together in one long video plus there's a quite long scene where Solveig sits on a bed talking to two men while somewhat naked. There's also a scene when some Indigenous women in Australia dance topless during a rather long musical interlude.

Black Robe

Just off directing the Oscar winning Driving Miss Daisy, Bruce Beresford's next movie was this Canadian co-production about a Jesuit priest Laforque (Lothaire Bluteau) who with a wannabe Jesuit labourer Daniel (Aden Young) head off up the river to see what happened to a group of missionaries who went to convert the local tribes including the Algonquin to Christianity. Turns out Laforque is a hard man to like and the Algonquin do not warm to him and his strange way of doing things. Also Daniel falls for local tribeswoman Annuka (Sandrine Holt) which doesn't help in relations between the Jesuits and the tribes. Not a bad movie but feels like a historical lesson which will go a long way as to whether you'll enjoy the movie or not. Beresford was nothing if not a diverse director with his last movie Ladies in Black now a TV series.

Brief nudity from Sandrine Holt who was the go-to actress for sexy tribeswoman in the 90s (see also Rapa Nui) plus another unknown woman is also briefly nude.

Black Neon

From the makers of Day of the Panther/Strike of the Panther comes this Perth-based action drama where Tom (Edward John Stazak) is a struggling nightclub bouncer who has recurring dreams about the time he was stabbed in the chest by low rung criminal Pharaoh (Kristof Kaczmarek) three years earlier. Tom has had enough of being bouncer and decides to quit, a decision supported by his partner Celeste (Karen Richards) who has worried about him since he was stabbed. Tom's old friend Jack (James Richards) has come back to town after drifting around the north of the country and Tom is rapt to have his old buddy back but Jack has his own issues. Tom gets hurt breaking up a fight at the club but instead of confiding in Celeste he does everything but. Pharaoh is released from prison and he wants it all including Tom dead. Pharaoh decides to make Tom's last night at the club one he will remember but he'll have Jack standing side-by-side fighting Pharaoh and his goons. And there will be collateral damage from the fight that Tom can't avoid. An odd movie to get a handle on as it's a darker, more introspective movie than the Panther movies and it barely has an action at all. And thanks to some absolutely baffling editing, the final fight scene is an absolute bust, abandoned just as it gets started and we only know the result thanks to a bizarre set of memories we see as Tom plays some relaxing piano. Also both Stazak and James Richards are terrible actors and giving them more than the action scenes to do is a mistake. A bizarre mess of a movie.

Michelle Holmes shows her breasts and bottom during a sex scene.

Crimetime

Another unreleased Boulevard Films disaster so this is from an unfinished workprint. Basically a corrupt cop thriller where Marcus Graham and the film's writer Bruce Venables are the only non-corrupt cops in the force who come across a plot of something dastardly that seems to be run by their boss (Steven Grives) and also from high-ups in government. A determined young journalist (Lucy Bell) annoys the cops at first thinking they are corrupt then they enlighten her to something much bigger. Turns out that a secretive group is selling live babies on the black market or something, it's so baffling that the reveal is actually a pretty wild shot of a bunch of babies on a plane ready to be transported. Hard to judge how a movie is when it's unfinished although it does have a silly plot but Graham and Venables work well together and there's a fun vibe throughout.

There's brief nudity from Nicole Nabout.

Fatal Bond

Linda Blair returns to Australia (after the previous year's Dead Sleep) for another shitty genre movie this time from schlockmeister Phillip Avalon. 'Joe Martinez' (Jerome Ehlers), not his real name, who after escaping the clutches of the police, walks into a bar and sees a birthday party, buys the birthday girl a drink and then punches out her boyfriend when he objects. Leonie (Linda Blair), who is at the party, sees this an promptly leaves with Joe, has sex with him and before you know it, is joining him going up north for work. 'Joe' likes the ladies so when he spies a pretty young girl, he picks her up and then the next morning her body is found although he and Leonie are long gone. When the victim's hyper-religious father (Stephen Leeder) finds a photo of Joe, he's convinced he has his daughter's killer and promises an 'eye for an eye' as he goes off looking for him with his son Shane (Teo Gebert). 'Joe' takes a 'job' stealing cars for a friend's rebirthing garage while another body turns up and Leonie tries to cover it up. Then the real Joe, fake Joe's brother turns up dead and now everyone is closing in on 'Joe'. Absolute bonkers movie, typical of an Avalon production, where a character is the guiltiest person that has ever existed but everyone gives him the benefit of doubt particularly Leonie who may be the stupidest of the lot. The killer was clearly the result of being the name picked out of a hat because it doesn't make any sense otherwise. Having said that, Ehlers is very effective as the mysterious Joe and who doesn't like 'Aussie' Joe Bugner tearing up the place.

Linda Blair is nude in the couple of scenes including behind a shower screen.

Flirting

A sort-of sequel to The Year My Voice Broke with Danny (Noah Taylor) returning and now attending a boarding school. Bullied by his classmates and given the cane by his superiors, Danny just gets by until one day at a school rugby game where he meets 3 girls from the girl's school across the lake including Thandiwe (Thandiwe Newton on debut), who is from Uganda and is boarding for the year. Both are intrigued by one another and attempt to go to the dance together, only for that to be thwarted by the headmaster. But Thandiwe is persistent and Danny is carefree and they find a way to meet again. They become the talk of their classes thanks to 'steamy' letters and various incidents including Danny stupidly fighting the school boxing champ for her honour. All this comes to a head when Thandiwe is to leave the school, but not before one last fling without the knowledge of their superiors. Pretty good follow-up to one of my favourite Australian movies and Noah Taylor is great once again and Newton is a good match for him while a straight-haired blonde Nicole Kidman is also pretty good in a supporting role. Strangely still not released on DVD/Bluray/streaming in Australia.

Thandiwe Newton briefly shows her breasts as she gets dressed.

Hunting

Frank Howson/Boulevard Films strikes again. At least this movie got a release. An erotic thriller where a secretary Michelle (Kerry Armstrong) meets one of her boss' clients, a popular entrepreneur Michael Bergman (American actor and Howson favourite John Savage) and both fall for one another hard. Michelle is stuck in a lousy marriage with husband Larry (Jeffrey Thomas) who is having a run of bad luck. Michelle accepts an invitation to one of Michael's parties and the affair begins. Larry cottons on and tries to get at Michael but his goons (including another Howson favourite Guy Pearce) fake his suicide leaving Michelle all for Michael. Then it turns out that underneath all that philanthropy, Michael is just an egotistical arsehole who wants everything and begins to treat Michelle like his plaything. Typically silly stuff from Howson who's ambition was always bigger than his talent. An erotic thriller that gets out-of-hand plot wise and feels mostly low key but it does has quite a bit of sex along the way.

Quite a bit of nudity from Kerry Armstrong throughout the movie although it does look like some shots are from a double which suggests Kerry was fine with the nudity but not as much as was wanted. Strange.

Moonrise (NZ)
aka Grampire / My Grandpa Is A Vampire

Family movie where a couple of kids are forced to visit their grandpa (Al Lewis, like he needed an excuse to get back in the vampire gear) in New Zealand who turns out the be a 'good' vampire. They have a bunch of wacky adventures while trying to keep grandpa out of the sun. I never watched The Munsters but I get the feeling this movie wouldn't be too far removed from those antics.

No nudity in Moonrise but you can find a HD video from the movie here.

 

 

On My Own

Another Canadian co-production this time about a teen boy Simon (Matthew Ferguson from the La Femme Nikita TV series) who is shipped off to a boarding school in Canada while his father works in Hong Kong and his mother (Judy Davis) is living with her new beau in England when she is not in a mental hospital. At school, he makes friends through playing football and has a crush on a girl (Rachel Blanchard) but doesn't know how to talk to her. When his mother visits him at the school, he finds out the reason why she's in and out of hospital. Fairly forgettable drama, nothing all that remarkable about it, a muted coming-of-age story.

Some brief full frontal nudity from Judy Davis a couple of times in one long scene.

Proof

Excellent comedy/drama about Martin (Hugo Weaving), a grumpy blind man who has an antagonistic relationship with his only human connection, housemaid Celia (Genevieve Picot). One day Martin accidentally injures a cat at the back of a Chinese shop which is seen by Andy (Russell Crowe) and they bond while waiting at the vet. Martin asks Andy if he can describe the photographs that he takes as 'proof' of how the world is. Martin thinks he has a friend who he feels he can trust but Celia is not happy about this and she attempts to seduce Martin after bribing him to go with her to a concert. When that fails, she sets her sights on Andy and they begin an affair which will change their dynamic with Martin forever. Great debut from director Jocelyn Moorhouse who after a couple of Hollywood movies never really kicked on sadly. All three leads are great, hell I think this is more of a break out role for Russell Crowe than Romper Stomper was. A compelling story with some great moments of humour.

A Soldier's Tale (NZ)

New Zealand movie made in France and set during World War II where British soldier Saul (Gabriel Byrne) and his buddy Charlie (Paul Wyett) come across Frenchwoman Belle (Marianne Basler) in her backyard and they arrive just in time as she is about to be taken away by the Resistance for colluding with the Nazis which she denies. Saul decides he's going to stay and protect her while things get cleared up. Saul and Belle get to know each other over the next few days and they eventually fall for one another. The members of the Resistance dig in while an American soldier (Judge Reinhold in an odd cameo) comes by and makes himself known. But time is running out and Saul must decide what he is to do with Belle. A slow burn that doesn't amount to much but does have a fairly shocking ending. Mostly a two-hander between Byrne and Basler that has an inevitable and mostly unearned romantic plot. Only real New Zealand influence is behind the camera plus it's hard to put a date on the movie as it was made in 1988 and slowly released afterwards. No idea how I can upon 1991 as it's release year.

A few nude scenes from French actress Marianne Basler, all fairly brief.

Stan and George's New Life

Very light comedy about a bored 40 year-old hairdresser Stanley (Paul Chubb) who still lives with his parents and thanks to his weather conspiracist father Stan Snr (John Bluthal) gets an entry level position at the Weather Bureau. Stan strangely makes an impact in a bottom of the rung job including a regular radio spot and falls for fellow worker and similarly inclined George (Julie Forsyth). From there, Stanley causes minor then major chaos by getting the weather forecast from his father and George who also happens to be a weather conpiracist. This comes to a head after Stan and George get married and the Weather Bureau begins to lose the plot. One of the oddest, modest movies I've seen in a while, best described as a very Australian gentle comedy that does have a few laughs and at times is completely batty. The ending is completely nuts, in a good way. Much better than I was expecting, not far removed from the Tass/Parker movies.

No nudity in Stan and George's New Life but there's a scene where helium-voiced Julie Forsyth is in a bath.

Strangers

Craig Lahiff showed promise early as a genre director but then he went through a disastrous patch beginning with this dud. A noir thriller that follows Gary (James Healey), a hotshot stockbroker who meets Anna (Anne Looby) on a plane flight and they hit it off so well that they go back to his place and have sex. Gary tells Anna that it's a one off thing as he has a wife in Rebecca (Melissa Docker) and it seems like that's that. Well before you can say Fatal Attraction, Anna decides she loves Gary and wants him all to herself so she starts killing people who get in her way like his ex (Mary Regan) and her father before setting her sights on poor innocent Rebecca. A total Fatal Attraction rip-off, not even subtle about it but it does have a wonderfully batty performance from Anne Looby who proves to be a whiz with the gardening shears.

Anne Looby shows her breasts during a fairly lengthy sex scene.

Till There Was You

One of the those movies that make you wonder how on Earth did it get made. Frank (Mark Harmon) decides to quit the New York jazz scene and finds out that his brother is living in Vanuatu so he decides to go for a visit. Turns out you can't just walk into Vanuatu and that it's under strict curfew and he manages to piss off local authorities but manages to leave the airport thanks to Anna (Deborah Kara Unger). He then discovers that his brother has just been found dead. It turns out that his brother knew Anna and her violent husband Rex (Shane Briant) as they were after some hidden treasure on one of the islands so Frank manages to convince Anna to take a plane to get it without her husband which goes badly and they crash the plane and are rescued by a local tribe. They take a liking to Frank because he reminds them of his brother who just happened to marry and have kids with a local tribeswoman unbeknown to Frank. Then Rex and his goons track Frank and Anna down and things get ridiculously violent from there. Just an absolute headscratcher of a movie. Mark Harmon at least seems to be enjoying himself but the plot is remarkably stupid and the violence is so unnecessary and extreme. I think the makers just found a big gun and thought it was cool to shoot so let's shoot up the place for no particular reason. An appropriately forgotten movie.

There's a strange beginning to Canadian actress Deborah Kara Unger's career where all her early credits are Australian movies/TV. That is because she went to actor's college NIDA and was in demand after she graduated. She was also in the mini-series Bangkok Hilton and movies Blood Oath and the completely forgotten Breakaway (also another of the how on Earth did it get made movies).

The only nudity in Til There Was You is from an unnamed local tribeswoman.

A Woman's Tale

A rare charming movie from Paul Cox as he heads deeply into death and old age in this movie about Martha (Sheila Florance), an independent 78 year-old woman who is rapt just being alive while others her age are struggling. She's struck up a friendship with her part-time care nurse Anna (Gosia Dobrowolska), so much so that she allows her to conduct her affair with a married man at her house. Martha keeps an eye out for her incapacitated neighbour Billy (Norman Kaye) while her landlords are eying her flat looking for something more even after her put-upon son Jonathon (Chris Haywood) pays the increase in rent. Then Martha has a spell and has to face death but she's going her way. Excellent movie bolstered by a great final performance from Florance (best known for her role as Lizzie Birdsworth on Prisoner) who died just after the movie was released. She just lights up the screen like nothing else and makes this probably Cox's best movie.

Brief nudity from Sheila Florence and Gosia Dobrowolska.

Here's the usual list of movies that had nothing to cap including the light comedy starring Anthony Hopkins Spotswood aka The Efficiently Expert, a jazz epic Dingo directed by Rolf de Heer's and starring Colin Friels and Miles Davis (although there's a background extra that is naked), bio-pic Isabelle Eberhardt, drama Breathing Under Water starring a very young Maeve Dermody (directed by her mother), oddball teen drama Holidays on the River Yarra, teen drama telemovie Street Angels, Indigenous drama Deadly, issue based drama Act of Necessity, concert film Castanet Club and the animated movie The Magic Riddle.

There is nudity from Japanese actress Eri Ishida in the interracial relationship drama Aya but I haven't found a copy of the movie.

There's also a whole bunch of New Zealand movies with nothing to cap including ANZAC drama Chunuk Bair, oddball family drama The End Of The Golden Weather, rugby movie Old Scores, harness racing family movie Star Runner and cop thriller telemovie Undercover.

It is unknown whether there's anything to cap in Rose Against the Odds or the New Zealand movies Te Rua and Anagram.

1992 looks like having a similar output to 1991. It's crazy how much of drop-off there is in the early 90s post 10BA plus how many Australian movies either are co-productions or star international actors.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1990 part 2

Hadn't seen half of the movies in today's update so I had to make videos from seven of the movies and it ended up taking a lot longer than I was expecting. There's a few movies starring American actors like Quigley Down Under, Secret Weapon and Wendy Cracks a Walnut plus a lot of nudity in the almost lost In Too Deep and Weekend With Kate.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1990 part 1

Into the 1990s and this year is surprisingly deep with the amount of nudity in movies. There's quite a bit of nudity in movies like An Angel At My Table, Bloodmoon and the weird erotic psychological thriller Fantasy. Also a few international co-productions and foreign actresses turn up plus the only nudity in movies from Kylie Minogue, Danielle Spencer and Zoe Carides. Also the final ever nude scene from sex siren Abigail in an unreleased movie.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1989

A significant drop-off in the number of movies made/released in 1989 so that means less movies that had something to cap in them. Like 1988, there's no movies that have extensive nudity but the year does feature movies like Houseboat Horror, Sweetie and Afraid To Dance which all have fairly decent nudity. Also a few movies which are very obscure including one, Closer and Closer Apart, that is impossible to find.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1988 part 2

Hadn't watched more than half of the movies in the second part of the 1988 update so there were a number of videos that had to made. A bunch of long forgotten telemovies, a goofy cult classic and the Yahoo Serious debut Young Einstein which Australians seem to have collective amnesia about despite it being the 4th highest grossing Australian movie ever at the time of release (it's still top 20).
