Deathcheaters PG
Deathcheaters is an action-adventure film directed by famed Ozploitation auteur Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring John Hargreaves and Grant Page.
Steve (Hargreaves) and Rodney (Page) are two ex-Vietnam commandos who perform stunts on television. They are hired by the Australian Government to raid the island stronghold of a Filipino racketeer and secure papers from his safe. But first, they must complete their training...
Directed by Trenchard-Smith after his kung-fu classic The Man From Hong Kong (1975) and shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer John Seale (Mad Max: Fury Road), the film firmly established Grant Page as Australia’s leading stunt icon.
