Ozploitation[edit]

We mention Ozploitation, but don't give any examples. To me, it's epitomized by The Cars That Ate Paris and the Mad Max films. But I'm not certain how critics have used the term. Do the Barry McKenzie & Crocodile Dundee films also count? And are there other notable examples? The article should really spell out how critics have used the term. - Jmabel | Talk 17:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest having separate pages for Ozploitation and Australian New Wave, for though there is some significant crossover between the two movements, they are quite distinct and largely independent from one another. -- L —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.179.185.210 (talk) 03:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i agree that its clear that Ozploitation is a sub-genre of the new wave movement, and deserving of a spearate entry - especially since there are no other categories mentioned (eg. war, historical drama), or no attempt to categorise any of the other films listed.
