Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter the release of the film, Russell Mulcahy received a surprise phone call from Steven Spielberg who was curious on how he achieved some of the effects in the dream sequence such as the shot of the two moons.
- GoofsThe car Beth is driving is a Ford. It has the brand tag in the front of the car in some scenes and then in other scenes, the brand tag isn't there.
- Quotes
Jake Cullen: [to Beth] There's something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day.
- Alternate versionsThe original Australian version of the film was edited down to secure a more commercial M rating (known as the "theatrical version") by removing 4 scenes of graphic violence. The cut scenes included footage of explicit gore and blood-spurts in the death of 3 of the characters plus the final killing of the razorback itself. The UK Anchor Bay and Australian Umbrella releases contain the theatrical version, though the 4 deleted scenes are available as extras on the Australian DVD.

Featured review
Razorback
This is one of those film that I decided to track down and buy because it was such a hoot. Great atmospheric scenes, a bit of gore and plenty of humour. I love it and I only paid £4.32 incl postage !
There's a lot of tricky night-time filming and very realistic killer pigs - if that hasn't hooked you then I doubt this film is for you. If you liked American Werewolf in London, get this and you won't go wrong.
I don't want to be accused of padding but do an internet seach and you will always find great ratings for this film - it just seems to slip beneath the radar for most reviewers which is a shame because it deserves to become a classic for all the right reasons. Please add your comments if you agree - but remember to make it at least 10 lines OK
