This is a must-have. I had a frantic years-long search for the DVD, and kept coming up against that Mamba movie, and of course, the Cindy Crawford offering, and believed this Australian movie to be a doomed quest. Was really relieved to have found it, and have joyfully re-watched it since January 2011.
One of the prettiest heroines on film. There is absolutely no denying this. People, I am RavenGlamDVDCollector of ElectricLadyLand, I know what I an talking about. And like that other reviewer pointed out, a heroine that you want to root for. She loves animals, and is only trying to protect the kangaroos from further harm. I disagree with other reviewers claiming that she incites the violence. She is vulnerable and alone, a pretty target, who speaks her mind, and the moment they notice her, trouble's in the air. Good thing the baddies aren't just cardboard characters, they are indeed 'good ol' boys' who, testosterone-driven, go past points of no return.
Cassandra gets top score for this one from the #1 FAIR GAME fan on the African continent.
Story concerns Jessica defending the wildlife preserve against kangaroo poachers. Yes, in real life, be advised to stay totally clear of confrontations with obvious rough-and-tumble types, but she just made it clear to them that they were the hell not welcome to slaughter more kangaroos. Leading to a well-filmed car chase scene, with that Beast truck the other star of this movie. And a gory kangaroo carcass stuck inside her pick-up. A nude shot of her taken by the intruders. Harassing building up to a crescendo. Everything dear to her is destroyed, and defiled, including herself, after she is trophy-ridden half-naked draped over the crash-guard of the truck. Yes, the rape is inferred, but clearly took place. After that she fights back, a one- girl assault team, and exacts full revenge. Summed up this way, it sounds scant, but the movie has to be seen. The Australian outback, the girl on her horse, that nasty 'red-eyed' nightmarish Beast truck that has a life of its own, the even nastier men and their disregard for life...
If you like pretty girls on film, this one's for you. Be warned that it is not for the faint-hearted.
