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. 
 
‘There’s fun-filled adventure full of raw stunt action, hot babes, cool cars and plenty of laughs’ - Street Machine 
 
‘Nobody in their right minds would do it again, not with real actors today, not even with stuntmen. Unmissable!’ – Urban Cinefile 
 
This film is held in the NFSA collection. 
 
Presented in collaboration with Umbrella Entertainment.
