Gerry (Kelly Johnson) is a no-hoper who comes across a lady's purse and decides to use its contents to hire a yellow Mini Minor to fuck around in. Meanwhile, John (Tony Barry) has had his last chance from his wife Sue (Shirley Gruar) and she's off to join her sister in Invercargill at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island. John has no money and spots Gerry mucking around with a parking officer and decides this is his chance to get down to her. Gerry is up for a lark so off they go, picking up hitchhiker Shirl (Claire Oberman) along the way. Then the police go after them, mainly because they're speeding and Gerry did illegally use a woman's license and money to get the car. Now it's a high speed chase all the way with Gerry and John, who lose Shirl along the way, using every trick in the book to escape the police including hiding in trains while the country becomes fascinated with the chase. Director Geoff Murphy's (Utu, The Quiet Earth, Young Guns II, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, Fortress 2: Re-Entry, Freejack) first feature length movie, this movie is so much fun, I can't believe I hadn't seen it until now. The ending is spectacularly good with the car basically just wheels by the time it gets to it's destination. Some good laughs and a lot of great action and speeding cars along the way with a similar vibe to The Blues Brothers (without the music), which came out in the same year.

There is a 2017 remake of this movie, Pork Pie, starring Dean O'Gorman, James Rolleston and Australian actress Ashleigh Cummings and directed by Geoff Murphy's son. I've seen it and there's nothing to cap in it and that's about all I remember about it, so it didn't really leave much of an impression, unlike the original.

Claire Oberman shows her breasts about 45 minutes into the movie after having sex on a train. Claire moved to Britain not long after and did a bit of acting there and seems to have done further nude scenes I will look into for a future updates.
