- TriviaThis movie's screenwriter, Rob George, on the film's audio commentary, said of this film: "The original source of the idea for me was driving back from Sydney to Adelaide one night, we left about midnight, and around about West Wyalong we got taunted by some guy who kept driving right up behind us ... just sitting a foot or two behind the back of our ute and then he'd pass us and go up and come back on the other side of the road and play chicken with us. It was really distressing".
- Alternate versionsThe UK 1987 Embassy Home Entertainment video tape release had 57 seconds of BBFC cuts to remove shots of Cassandra Delaney having her clothes cut and shots of her breasts when she is tied to the car. Even with the cuts the movie was still classified by the BBFC with an 18+ certificate.

Featured review
The Most Dangerous Game is a Sexy Game Warden
Fair Game (1986) - Awesome 80's Australian Action-Thriller film. It's often referred to as a "rape and revenge" film like I Spit on Your Grave (1978), however, I think it has much more in common with films like The Most Dangerous Game (1932) and Surviving the Game (1994).
In this film, a very attractive game warden running a wildlife sanctuary in the Australian outback is caught in the crosshairs and pursued by local kangaroo poachers bored with hunting wildlife.
One thing that makes this film great is the main character, played compellingly by the sexy Cassandra Delaney, is no pushover or damsel in distress; she gives the hunters more than they bargained for from the minute she is confronted by them. As the film goes on, Delaney's vengeance against her tormentors grows increasingly violent as the hunted becomes the hunter.
The performances by Delaney, along with the trio of scumbags hunting her, are all well-suited for this type of film. The monster-truck-sized off-road vehicle - named 'The Beast' and driven by the hunters - becomes a character in its own right; managing to steal the entire picture in the film's most infamous and memorable scene, prominently featured in the marketing material.
Additionally, the photography is excellent, showcasing dynamic backlit shots of 'The Beast' pursuing Delaney through the outback at night in scenes visually reminiscent of Razorback (1984) and The Road Warrior (1981), Australian films the producers were surely influenced by.
Great film overall. 7.5/10.
