Battletruck (1982). A Kiwi take on Mad Max, even if the lead actors are all American. Michael Beck battles James Wainwright after the Oil Wars leave the world in desperation.
Shot on the Central Otago plains of New Zealand it's all action, lots of carnage and the aforementioned battletruck smashes everything in its path. John Ratzenberger's in it too!
The original trailer for Alien (1979) is still one of the greatest trailers ever cut. Ridley Scott approved a near wordless montage of flashing images and that rising siren sound, created by the marketing team using the film’s own machinery audio.
