Rating: - From Tusk 'til Dawn
'Razorback', apart from 'Return of Captain Invincible' and maybe 'Performance', is likely the cultest film ever made. It's credentials are crackling; mad, bad killer pig, desert lunatics, animal rights protesters, camels, abattoirs, negligible special effects, arty direction, and a delicious ideal of senseless cruelty and insensitivity.
''Jaws' in the outback' just about sums it up, but with notable additions. It has two of the bestest, grotesque villains ever portrayed on film. Benny and Dicko work at the extremely unpleasant Petpak Cannery, a big, clanking, kangaroo slaughterhouse, around ... Read More
Rating: - Classic Australian Film
This is a classic Australian film and a great value DVD package as its full of extras including a 70 minute 2005 filmed documentary called Jaws on Trotters about the making of the film. It contains interviews with the producer, director, special effects guy (who made the pig), various actors and information on the few who aren't interviewed (unfortunately Arkie Whitely who played the hot research scientist passed away from cancer a few years earlier). What I liked about this documentary was that they were prepared to criticise their own movie and its bellow anticipated success in the marketplace.

Rating: - An outback Jaws
A razorback is an especially nasty species of wild pig and this movie is about an unusually large (rhino size ) example of the bred which is running rampant in the Australian outback with predictably bloody results .
It opens with a scene of grizzled outback veteran Jake Cullen -well palyed by Bill Kerr--minding his infant grandchild on his remote homestead when the unseen beast attacks and wounds him ,carrying the child away .He is arrested and put on trial for murder but exonerated and set free.From then on he devotes himself to tracking down the murderous beast .
Rating: - Another Awful , Horrible Movie From The Shores Of Australia!
Australians DO seem to have a talent for making AWFUL movies and this one is no exception. It concerns a giant pig in the Australian Wilderness ( which is referred to by Austalians as 'The Outback") This movie doesn't evem make it s a Horror movie although I must say it is pretty horrible.We have the usual body count and the hunt is on for the killer pig. I give this movie 5 stars because I managed to catch up on some much needed sleep while it was on my TV screen.
Rating: - Not quite how I remembered it...
...but I probably will buy the DvD when it gets released. I'll make myself short; "Razorback" for its' time is more a one-of-a-kind-movie than it is a classic, if you know what I mean? BUT, it is original, different. And rather interesting, actually. Not many movies have been made about these animals, and just the idea of making a horror-movie called "Razorback" is rather brave. I mean; a giant killer-pig! And at times the movie is a bit scary. All thanks to the fabolous camera-work, the sound and "the Beast" itself.
First time I saw "Razorback" I was 14 years old, and it really facinated me ... Read More
