Fair Game is a 1986 Australian action thriller film directed by Mario Andreacchio from a screenplay by Rob George. Quentin Tarantino enthuses about the movie in the documentary Not Quite Hollywood.
Plot
A young woman (Cassandra Delaney) who runs a wildlife sanctuary in the Outback is menaced by three kangaroo hunters who have entered the sanctuary looking for new game.
Production
The movie was shot in South Australia with the assistance of the Australian Film Commission. Director Mario Andreacchio later said:
Fair Game came out of a situation where we were wanting to make a movie that was a B-grade video suspense thriller. I wanted to treat it like comic book violence - it was always like a comic book study of violence. What amazed me and the thing I found quite disappointing was that it started to become a cult film in some parts of the world and people were taking it seriously. And that, for me, became a real turning point. I thought, if people are taking this seriously, then I don't think I can make this sort of material.[2]
Box Office
Fair Game grossed $13,902 at the box office in Australia.[3]
