Coventry I had two movies called "Fair Game" standing on my must-see list, so I watched them after each other in order not to lose track of one of them. The first one was an obscure Italian lethal-snake-on-the-loose thriller also known as "Mamba" and this one is Australia's belated (unless I missed something) response to the 'Revengeploitation" sub genre. Revenge thrillers were especially popular throughout the entire decade of the 70's, with highlights like "Last House on the Left", "I Spit on your Grave, "Fight for your Life", "House by the Lake" and "House on the Edge of the Park". These movies routinely handle about innocent women (preferably defenseless and fragile) getting harassed and viciously raped by a group of men (preferably perverted hicks and/or fugitive criminals) and then avenging themselves by taking justice into their own hands. The gritty atmosphere and gratuitous use of violence and sleaze in "Fair Game" is pretty much prototypic revenge thriller stuff, but it nevertheless also remains an authentic Aussie movie, meaning the assaulters are bored kangaroo poachers looking for new thrills and the 'victim' (Cassandra Delaney; the former Mrs. John Denver) is actually a very potent lady who fights back from the beginning and never really allows her opponents to get the upper hand. Jessica runs a wildlife reservation in the middle of the outback, so naturally there's a vicious conflict when she bumps into a trio of insensitive and macho poachers doing some illegal kangaroo hunting on her territories. This film feels refreshing and innovative because the script doesn't unfold like the majority of 70's revenge thrillers. The interactions between Jessica and the poachers start off like a testosterone-laden showdown, but then gradually escalate into a merciless battle with humiliation, rape and murder. There are several highly memorable and deliciously exploitative scenes in "Fair Game", most notably the one with Delaney – in her white undies - tied to the hood of a jeep whilst it races through the desert. Her acts of vengeance during the climax are quite impressive as well and I guarantee there's some impressive bloodshed to enjoy in "Fair Game". As often the case with Australian cult-productions ("Outback", "Wolf Creek", "Mad Max"…), the exterior filming location and wildlife images alone make the movie worth purchasing and this particular one also benefices from good music and stylish camera-work. The acting performances are more than satisfying and I'm pleased to notice the cast exclusively exists of native Australians. This isn't always the case, you know. Definitely recommended if you're a fan of the revenge movies.

ThrownMuse Australia's answer to "I Spit on Your Grave"? Maybe, except this is actually a much better (and more watchable) film. A woman who owns an isolated vast wildlife reservation realizes that her Roos and other animals are being illegally hunted by some local hooligans. When she tries to set the perps (one of whom thinks he's Crocodile Dundee) straight, they start messing around with her. After a few days, things get out of hand and she finds herself their new prey on her own property. Dubbed an action/thriller by most, I was expecting this to be a cheesy laugh-fest. The only thing about it that resembles an 80s action/thriller is the often light-hearted score (which morphs into more appropriate horror music at times.) Otherwise, this is filled with tension and a humane heroine that you want to root for. This follows the typical rape/revenge formula of the 70s, but it isn't as difficult to watch. A totally fun flick that's one of Australia's better horror offerings.

Vodka_Sour ...And topless, too! But not naked. Those are two very different things.But she is very pretty, this Cassandra Delany. Her Australian accent and spunky attitude (along with a penchant for getting naked) makes this a very good video to buy & watch over & over. Not just another pretty face--John Denver's baby.Not into pretty girls? Well, check out the exotic fauna--cockutoos, lizards, and kangaroos. None of the above? Well, lots of handsome, rugged bad boys are available; they terrorize poor, helpless Cassandra to no end. Just good old boys having fun, that's all...they may be rough boys, but never meaning no harm. Just play along with 'em, let them tie you to their truck so they can drive around all day until you pass out. So what if they rip off your clothes? You were going to throw out that raggedy old thing anyways. Right?????? Right......

journeyman968 A very interesting movie indeed! Cassandra Delaney is beautiful, and I'm surprised she did so few movies. She plays Jessica, a woman in the outback fighting for the rights of animals, especially Kangaroos, but 3 vicious guys decide to show her HOW a wild animal is treated, and have fun with her, and drives her around the dusty trails of the desert-like terrain of her own property like a hunting prize. The scene is explicit and worth an eye full as Jessica tries to escapes being tied to the truck while they strip her down and prepare to have some fun, with no help in sight. Somebody needs to tell Jessica that going 3-on-1 with some crazy guys in the outback isn't going to end well! The plot is lacking but the, "scenery" is worth the price of admission!
