Filmmaker Mark Hartley explores Australia's hidden genre in this documentary that casually casts aside "official" film history to celebrate the demented genius of director Brian Trenchard-Smith, and the exciting wave of little-known but supremely entertaining films that entertained adventurous Australian filmgoers throughout the 1970s and '80s. Every film student worth his or her weight in celluloid has seen Breaker Morant and Picnic at Hanging Rock, but what about the lesser-known gems that didn't make the film-school textbooks? In his forward to Tim Lucas' book Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark, director Martin Scorsese states, "We have to keep resisting the idea of official film history, a stately procession of 'important works' that leaves some of the most exciting films and filmmakers tucked away in the shadows." In this documentary, director Hartley explores the films forgotten by "official film history" with the comprehensive eye of a true film buff. As a child watching such films as Snapshot and The Man from Hong Kong, Hartley immediately recognized how wildly disparate they were in tone and execution from the films that comprised Australia's traditional film library. Appearing like American genre films that just happened to be shot in Australia and cast with Australian actors, these so-called "Ozploitation" flicks flourished in the wake of relaxed censorship laws down under. Yet despite constant chatter about the "new wave" of Australian cinema, financially successful films like The Man from Hong Kong and Patrick that were popular both at home and abroad were never mentioned, sneeringly dismissed as "genre" films rather than Australian films. Perhaps in the wake of such successful Australian films as Wolf Creek and Undead -- and looking ahead to such films as the slasher shocker Storm Warning and the eagerly anticipated remake of Long Weekend -- curious filmgoers are finally prepared to discover what they've been missing all these years. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

New Review For Movie Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
This is as insightful a glimpse into a country's cinema as you're likely to see at this running time.Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
It's all very foul, and completely entertaining.
Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle
Not Quite Hollywood is jammed with well-preserved clips of the Aussie movies that started pushing the limits after censorship was essentially dropped in 1971.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
Tarantino's enthusiasm notwithstanding, backstage gossip about movies of no importance is enough to bore even certified film geeks.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
If Not Quite Hollywood is not quite convincing, it is quite entertaining.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
What's cool and always kicky is seeing a country's irreverent movie trash being treated with such, well, reverence.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
It's almost criminal, the amount of fun filmmaker Mark Hartley has conducting this wildly salacious, enormously entertaining documentary.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
What's nice about a movie like this is that it gives you a sampling of this genre without making you sit down and watch hours and hours of movies.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
If you don't already love the underground world of masochistic movies, this will be a real eye-opener.
Mike Edwards-What Culture
It's a ribald and entertaining documentary, filled with great yarns and astonishing images from not only the finished films but from the making of them.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian
The onslaught of tastelessness begins even before the opening credits and continues nonstop for 103 deliciously sleazy minutes.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star
You'll get more bang, boobs and blood for your buck here than with any other show in town.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
As recounted in Mark Hartley's entertaining documentary, twisted imaginations went wild after the post-'60s liberation from censorship and the introduction of tax breaks.
Betsy Sherman-Boston Phoenix
It's a Documentary that's celebrating obscure films by showing a crapload of clips. I loved it! Film lovers who crave cult cinema aren't going to want to miss this opportunity to expand their knowledge.
Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine
Not Quite Hollywood - lousy title, great peek back at the Ozploitation movement.
Christian Toto-What Would Toto Watch?
Not Quite goes on a little longer than it needs to, but if the success of a movie like this is measured by whether it makes you want to see some of the movies it revisits, then count me in.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
... a smartly made look at an otherwise neglected aspect of film history and culture, packed with colorful stories, witty observations, punky attitude and real history...
Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
This isn't exactly a thesis that's going to win any awards, especially up against the latest documentary about the Holocaust or the war in Iraq. But as far as entertainment goes, it's about the most fun I've had all summer.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
A fun and energized documentary about a neglected era of exploitation cinema, but it suffers from a couple of pretty critical sins of omission.
Ray Greene-Boxoffice Magazine
