Based on the true story of Dan Morgan - the infamous Australian outlaw once described as ‘the most bloodthirsty ruffian that ever took to the bush’ - Mad Dog Morgan provides the perfect showcase for the unique star quality of Dennis Hopper. After witnessing a bloody massacre of Chinese workers on Australia’s goldfields, Morgan turns to a life of crime, becoming a bushranger and the scourge of the vicious authorities - and, ultimately, a local legend - leaving a bloody legacy in his wake. Nominated for two Australian Film Institute Awards, including one for director Philippe Mora, Mad Dog Morgan is a brutal and uncompromising slice of Ozploitation. (Powerhouse Films)
