Deathcheaters is an action-adventure film directed by famed Ozploitation auteur Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring John Hargreaves and Grant Page.

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.

‘Nobody in their right minds would do it again, not with real actors today, not even with stuntmen. Unmissable!’ – Urban Cinefile
