Oh, lordy ... this is going to be good.

New on the slate of HD Net Films is upcoming Aussie doc Not Quite Hollywood, which spills the largely unknown history of Australian cult films from the 70s and 80s. The Australia of the period was cranking out low budget exploitation films with the best of them and there are some truly fantastic little gems from the era that have since slipped into obscurity. There's no trailer for this one yet but I did get a look at a promo reel that included the title sequence - which is absolutely giddy - and complete sequences detailing cult classics Patrick - about a catatonic telekinetic man - and The Man From Hong Kong - a 70's chop socky film starring an incredibly belligerent Jimmy Wang Yu and George Lazenby with Sammo Hung in a support role. Not only is this thing incredibly informative thanks to the heavy involvement of the original directors, producers and stars - not to mention the ubiquitous Quentin Tarantino - but it's also just way, way, way too much fun thanks to some snappy editing and the simple fact that everybody involved clearly knows they were making pulp and love it as such. Watch for more on this one soon ...
