This week on our podcast, we're cranking up the volume and the adrenaline with a deep dive into "Stunt Rock," the 1978 spectacle that marries high-octane stunts with electrifying rock music, all under the visionary direction of Brian Trenchard-Smith. I'm thrilled to have Jay with us as we explore this unique fusion of genres that stands out as a hallmark of the Ozploitation movement.
"Stunt Rock" is an action-packed adventure following a stuntman who teams up with a rock band, combining his death-defying feats with powerful music performances. This film showcases Trenchard-Smith's flair for crafting visually stunning sequences and captures the spirit of the late 70s rock scene, making it a time capsule of the era's cultural zeitgeist.
Jay and I will break down the film's most memorable stunts, its rock soundtrack, and how "Stunt Rock" serves as a testament to the creativity and daring of its creators. We'll also look at the legacy of Trenchard-Smith's work and how "Stunt Rock" fits into the broader context of Australian cinema and the global stunt community.
Whether you're a fan of classic rock or action cinema or love the thrill of stunt work, this episode promises to offer an engaging and insightful discussion on one of the most explosive and entertaining films of the 1970s.
