About
John Seale’s first feature film as cinematographer, Deathcheaters is a rollicking gem, newly restored in 4K. Steve and Rodney are Vietnam veterans who have become hellraising stuntmen upon their return to Australia. When an agent of the federal government approaches them about assisting with a high-risk raid on the seemingly impenetrable island base of a Filipino criminal kingpin, they cannot turn down their greatest thrill yet. Bursting with ‘70s Ozploitation verve, Deathcheaters is a raucous and rowdy romp from Australian cult icon Brian Trenchard-Smith.
