Escape 2000 / Turkey Shoot / Australia / 1982
From the director of BMX Bandits comes an Australian take on The Most Dangerous Game: It is the future, and an increasingly repressive society is plagued by non-conformist deviates. The only solution to the growing dissent is internment in one of many re-education camps. And woe to those who wind up in the clutches of camp director Thatcher, a man with a penchant for hunting the most elusive game of all: man.
With multiple head explosions, a man cut in half by a mini backhoe, a bazooka-toting Steve Railsback, and Olivia Hussey chopping a man’s hands off with a machete, director Brian Trenchard-Smith pulls out all the stops, crafting a film that is pure entertainment from start to finish. (And for all you BMX Bandits fans out there, keep an eye out for John Ley as a myopic prisoner named Dodge. (And for all you BMX Bandits fans out there who don’t know who John Ley is, here’s a hint: “I’m achin’ to blast someone.”))

I liked the toe-eating werewolf best.

Ah, the toe-eating werewolf. He deserved more screen time, and a better fate.
