This is an Australian/New Zealand movie that seems to have taken it visual cues from RAZORBACK (1984), which is to say it looks a lot like early MTV but with a fair amount of nudity. The plot is a standard "pretty girl harassed by thugs then gets revenge" tale, but the girl in it is attractive and can act reasonably well so it's easy to get involved. The overall plot is more than a little bit pseudo-misogynistic--at one point the thugs strip the girl naked, strap her to the front of their truck and take her for a ride. I say "pseudo" only because the lead actress is openly gawked for almost the entire film, so it's not like it should have come as a surprise. Overall, the film was mildly diverting but I will never watch it again.

The DVD I saw ages ago was full frame.  The more recent Blu-Ray from Umbrella Entertainment is 1.85:1 and is a big improvement compositionally. The combined picture below is from a slow horizontal pan of the lead actress. There was also a slight pan upwards as well, which is why there are areas of white spots. Enjoy. I wasn't able to easily recreate this from the 1.85 Blu-Ray.
