Description: In the fictional country of the military dictatorship of unreliable and simply sympathizers re-educated in special camps, turning into obedient slaves. “Embarkation” places is not enough, but the problem sadistic bosses of one of the IUT solved very easily.
For dignitaries coming to rest, arrange so-called hunting turkeys, there are targets in the prisoners. A deadly game where the hunters could use all kinds of weapons and firearms, was for them safe until the role of the “turkey” is not appointed beauty and courageous Chris Paul Anders …
Review: A wonderfully wild Aussie action-thriller set in a not-too-distant future, “Turkey Shoot“, or “Escape 2000” as it’s also known, gives us yet another variation on that well-worn “Most Dangerous Game” type plot. A totalitarian government rounds up anybody it considers to be a problem and imprisons them in “re-education” camps. A small group of these “deviants” – Paul (a very engaging Steve Railsback), Chris (the lovely Olivia Hussey from Black Christmas), Rita (Lynda Stoner), Dodge (John Ley), and Griff (Bill Young) are let loose to participate in a “hunt” with the promise that they earn their freedom if they survive until sundown.
