Dir.: Bill Bennett Bill Bennett is legendary in Australian cinema for literally knocking on doors to raise money for his films. He began his professional career as a reporter on the popular current affairs show, "Willesee at Seven" and went on to direct several important documentaries and the TV series "The Australians". In 1984 he directed "Shipwrecked", a docudrama which won Best Documentary at the Sydney Festival. That same year Bennett made his first feature-length film, a documentary entitled A STREET TO DIE which won the Critic's Prize at the Karlovy Vary Festival. His BACKLASH (1986) was shown in Cannes and his subsequent films include: DEAR CARDHOLDER (1987), "The Banjo and the Bard" (1987), JILTED (1987), MALPRACTICE (1988), THE LAST MAN HANGED (1992), THE GADFLY (1993) and TWO IF BY SEA (1996). |

Meanwhile, Zipper Doyle has discovered that his friend has been killed and the suspects have his video. With the cops and Zipper hot on their trail, Nikki and Al hide out overnight at a motel.
