Also known as Escape 2000 (in the US) or Blood Camp Thatcher (in the UK), this Cult Classic 1982 Australian 'ozploitation' sci-fi action film was directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, of BMX Bandits, Dead End Drive-in, The Man from Hong Kong and Leprechaun 4: In Space fame.The plot of the film is fairly archetypal: it's 20 Minutes into the Future in an unnamed fascist totalitarian state. For the slightest perceived offenses, "deviants" are sent to prison camps to be subjected to reformative torture. The new arrivals at Re-Ed Camp 47 are Chris Walters (Olivia Hussey), a shopkeeper accused of helping a rebel; Rita Daniels (Lynda Stoner), a suspected sex worker; and Paul Anders (Steve Railsback), a political dissident who has escaped from several other camps. After suffering brutal treatment at the hands of Camp Master Charles Thatcher (Michael Craig) and his chief enforcer, Ritter (Roger Ward), the prisoners accept a deadly deal. They will be human prey in a 'turkey shoot' Thatcher has organised for Secretary Mallory (Noel Ferrier), and fellow VIPs Jennifer (Carmen Duncan) and Tito (Michael Petrovich). If they can evade the heavily-armed guests in the surrounding jungle until sundown, Chris, Rita and Paul will be set free, or so Thatcher claims...The film is a charmingly cheesy, campy, over-the-top B-Movie, that can be a lot of fun if you acknowledge it for what it is and don't think too hard about it. Recommended for anyone interested in Australian cinema, or who enjoyed Mad Max. Quentin Tarantino has cited both the film and its director as among his favorites.Another film by the same name was made in 2014, but was more like The Running Man and is only loosely inspired from the original. Internationally, it was titled Elimination Game. | |

Your Head Asplode: Thatcher stands up in the middle of the climactic prison escape, letting Anders get a clean head shot with an MG-42. The burst makes Thatcher's head explode. In the 2014 film, the Libyan dictator's head is absolutely destroyed by the rifle bullet which hits him. | |

Title Drop: In the original film, Mallory uses the term "turkey shoot" in one scene as a Deadly Euphemism for Thatcher's invitation to hunt and kill inmates. Apparently, even in a totalitarian regime like theirs there's some things that they want to keep a secret about what they are doing in re-education camps. In the 2014 remake, the Immoral Reality Show is named "Turkey Shoot", leading to it being dropped a lot. | |

Red forces himself on Chris in the shower; she pretends to respond favorably, reaching into Red's pants then suddenly yanking up the zip. Not only this, but Red is later kicked in the crotch by Griff, and finally impaled between the legs by a jungle Booby Trap. Mallory also cops a dart in the groin moments before he burns to death in the cane field. | |

Weaponized Car | |
| Turkey Shoot / int_ad295cc3 | comment |
Weaponized Car: Tito's Austrak RT-45 buggy has a machine gun on top and a razor-sharp bulldozer blade on the front. They both see use (the bulldozer blade severs Beast Man Alph in half and the machine gun kills a lot of guards in the climactic assault on the camp). | |

Bottomless Magazines | |
| Turkey Shoot / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: Griff with his L2A1 rifle in the shootout with Thatcher. In fairness the actor is shown fiddling with the magazine pretending he's about to insert a new one, so he was clearly aware of this trope. | |

| Turkey Shoot / int_b4de919d | comment |
Make an Example of Them: A scene which impressed even Quentin Tarantino is Ritter (played by 6ft, 3" Roger Ward) shadowboxing and then beating to death a tiny female inmate, picked at random as a 'lesson' to the New Meat. | |

Sentry Gun | |
| Turkey Shoot / int_b618409c | comment |
Sentry Gun: Twin remotely-controlled 20-calibre guns are in the towers (actually they're 7.62mm MG3's). The one time they're used they prove completely incapable of destroying a slow, red-painted unarmored buggy and its blatantly-exposed occupants. | |

Eunuchs Are Evil | |

Eunuchs Are Evil: All the camp guards must be castrated to hold the position, Anders says. They're all sadists or at least working for a brutal regime (the job kind of entails this). However, it's possible he's lying. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| Turkey Shoot / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Justified because Thatcher wants to break Anders' will first. And when he first catches Anders in his sights early in the hunt he doesn't fire because it would be too easy. After all, the whole point of Hunting the Most Dangerous Game is to get a thrill out of doing it. | |

Fan Disservice: Cutting away from I Have You Now, My Pretty Les Yay to other scenes, then returning to Lynda Stoner's naked, blood-splattered, quarrel-impaled corpse. Even for an Exploitation Film (perhaps especially for an exploitation film) that's pretty shocking. | |

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: In the original film, bored government bigwigs hunt down political prisoners. The 2014 version turns it into a TV show where convicted killers are hunted instead. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Turkey Shoot / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: All of the guards must be castrated to hold the position, Anders claims. Male prisoners getting female prisoners pregnant are castrated as punishment. Red forces himself on Chris in the shower; she pretends to respond favorably, reaching into Red's pants then suddenly yanking up the zip. Not only this, but Red is later kicked in the crotch by Griff, and finally impaled between the legs by a jungle Booby Trap. Mallory also cops a dart in the groin moments before he burns to death in the cane field. | |
