Bushwhackers

About This Movie

So, 'Bushwhackers' is this quirky little oddity from '89 that really leans into its absurd premise. You’ve got this young American guy heading down under to claim an inheritance, and surprise! It’s a bordello instead of a ranch. The atmosphere mixes cheeky humor with some surprisingly dark undertones, which makes for an interesting watch. The pacing is a bit uneven—some scenes drag on while others hit you with rapid-fire gags. The performances have that laid-back, almost improvisational feel that you sometimes find in low-budget films from the era. It stands out in its blend of comedy and drama, even if it doesn’t quite nail either fully. Definitely one for the collectors who appreciate the quirky side of cinema.

This film hasn’t exactly had a widespread release, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. There are a few VHS tapes floating around, but finding a decent quality copy can be a challenge. The DVD release seems to be limited, so interest is growing among those who appreciate offbeat comedies from the '80s. Its unique premise and execution make it a fun talking point for screenings or film discussions.
