    Aussie action thriller.

    After being contaminated when an earthquake causes a leak at a waste management plant, an engineer, Heinrich, realizes he has to warn the public. The company is more interested in protecting their interests, though, and thugs pursue Heinrich when he goes on the run.

    Heinrich stumbles upon the home of Larry and Carmel, where he collapses. Carmel is a nurse and takes care of Heinrich, although Larry doesn't trust him. Larry is a mechanic and fast driver, and his skills are put to the test when their lives are endangered. In the process, Larry becomes the film's action hero.

    Heinrich is suffering from temporary memory loss. He remembers he had to warn people of an impending disaster, but can't recall what it entails. To make matters worse, he doesn't have much time with the radiation consuming him. The film becomes an action-packed race against time to warn the public.

    I must be honest, there were times when I had a difficult time trying to understand what was actually going on. In general, the movie was entertaining enough and I enjoyed the good car chase climax.

    Steve Bisley stars as Larry, and the film uses every excuse to show off his lean, hairy body - and I'm certainly not complaining!

    The Aussie Syndrome

    Interesting eco thriller made in Australia in 1979 that was pipped at the post by THE CHINA SYNDROME almost in release at the same time. Produced by versatile industry go getter David Elfick (NEWSFRONT, STARSTRUCK, UNDERCOVER and Exec Prod on RABBIT PROOF FENCE) The CHAIN REACTION went over very well as a drive in movie for the thinking Mad Max crowd. It even has several of MAX's stars. With great stunt and car chase work and a genuinely believable story set slightly in the future CR will be a fun DVD release if out-takes and interviews are included. It looked terrific on a cinema movie screen and I guess will become an intelligent action staple if you have a big plasma TV at home. Elfick never makes the same movie twice and a scan through his CV on this site will let you access an astonishing range of Ausralian feature films. One is even called AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 WAYS..about fooling blind Dad that he is on a holiday when really he never leaves the street...one The Farrelly Bros should update and remake.

    great car chases

    In Australia, an earthquake damages a nuclear waste storage facility and causes a dangerous leak. Engineer Heinrich Schmidt is badly injured as he tries to stop the leak. The plant boss refuses to warn the public due to adverse publicity. Heinrich manages to escape but his head wound leaves him with only memories from before 1957. He stumbles upon Larry Stilson and his wife Carmel in their vacation cottage.

    It's Ozploitation and a cult classic. It has great car action especially two extraordinary chases. I love the placements of the cameras. It's kinetic. It's wildly destructive. It's also dangerous on a few instances. It's great stunt work. These guys are riding on the knife's edge. As for the story, it makes little sense to put Larry and Carmel as the central characters. The lead should be Heinrich. He's the one with the info. Maybe if Heinrich passes on the info to the couple before dying, then they would need to contact the outside world. It's easier if Heinrich is the lead. The plot is a muddle despite being relatively straight forward. All in all, this movie has great car chases which accounts for about fifteen minutes. Those parts are exceptional.

    Was this really bad, or a great watch?

    I saw this at the drive in when it was released, but cant find it these days on DVD, I have fond memories of this film, but am afraid it was another Houseboat Horror!!!! Am I wrong?

    The worst part is I cant remember Steve Bisley in this film, sorry Steve! Then again, it may have something to do with the girl I was at the drive in with on this particular night!

    What really astounded me at the time was the fact that we (Australians), were starting to make films finally that were not about colonial times, or period drama, but films that were truly able to be considered international, in that they really could have been made anywhere, this was an incredible break through.

    Chain Reaction: 5/10

    "Chain Reaction" is an Australian action movie that I think is best described as a mixed bag.

    Some scenes are very interesting and intriguing, and other scenes are very dull and boring. Same thing goes for the action sequences, which were exciting half the time, and wearisome the other half.

    The best parts of the movie come from its unique, eerie, and electronic soundtrack and sound effects. Also, the acting was pretty good for the most part.

    Overall, it's at least watchable. I'd recommend it. 5/10.

    Lastly, if you disagree with the opinions stated here, that's completely okay, and you're entitled to your own.

      Eagle: Listen, WALDO isn't exactly human. WALDO is a multinational corporation, working the ass-end of the nuclear cycle. Professor Heinrich and I once conjected the possibility of a high-level nuclear excursion, thats a link! Now, last night, he reversed charged a call from here, and he was cut-off before I could get the details, but it was quite obvious that he was in BIG TROUBLE!

      Larry: Do me a favor mate, I've got enough trouble of my own!

      Eagle: [Points outside to plane flying over] Thats trouble laddy! And whether you like it or not, we are all aboard!
