'Turkey Shoot' was very well done - interesting storyline, great acting and directing. That violence made by people was unbelievably cruel. Anyway it was great for Crime/Thriller movie. Our modern so-called "thrillers" and "horrors" suck. The 80's were the greatest!
Always amusing to see the Aussie actors in these cheesy old movies, especially Michael Craig (as the dictator/evil genius) who i recognize because in the 90's he played a genial doctor in the medical drama 'GP' and then theres the lovely Lynda Stoner, always lovely to look at ;p
I remember the days going to see the latest release at the video store in the '80s.
This was a highlight for the effects at the time.
In particular, I remember the seen of the guy's head getting hit by the machine gun, I watched it in slow motion and at the time I thought for sure they had to kill someone to make the scene. You could see chunks of meat coming off the head with every bullet. Must have been a meat and brain packed dummy head.
God, to think that they said that the world would be ruled by a strict regime in this day and age! And that there would be concentration camps like that! Hilarious.
This is definitely one of those "so bad it's good" kind of films. I'm not a big Tarantino fan, but I think I read somewhere that this is one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films.
I get endless amusement from seeing the ridiculous versions of the relatively near future in 70's and 80's sci-fi films. Like the entire world system could change in a mere decade or so.
'The world is ruled by a strict regime - step out of line and they take you to the funny farm'... I thought this was supposed to be fiction? FEMA camps here we come...
my thoughts EXACTLY!!! i'm like " holy shit- how did they manage to get a fly-by from an "Ardvark", that sure is some cutting-edge military hardware. roflmao
I saw this movie on late night TBS when I was a kid. It was fuckin disturbing. Ever since I saw it I wondered what the hell it was called. I'll probably think the were-monster in it is stupid now, but when I was little it was terrifying. Thanx for postin this. made my day.

Aside from not having Bone Thugs n Harmony's "Crossroads" in the soundtrack, this is an accurate portrayal of 1995.
