How come Australia is always featured as the center of post-apocalypse in film? Any nation would experience hunger, panic, riots, and whatever.

Remote large island.

It's cheaper that way; you don't need props and special effects to make Australia look post-apocalyptic.
Ayden Sanchez
What the fuck are you talking about? they're almost always based in America, sometimes maybe in Japan or Europe but mostly America. Mad Max series is the only thing that comes to mind in post apocalyptic movies based in Aus
Brandon Turner
Not true bro, Waterworld was based in Australia. Kevin Costner was Australian in that one. He had gills.
Adrian Moore
on the beach (1959) is some good australian apocalypse kino set in melbourne..
the remake is good too.
Sebastian Hall
Because they're the best of the Anglo-cunt subdivision.
David Cook
>best
you are thinking of the american south after they secede.
australia is just as cucked as the UK, sweden or germany.
Thomas Gray
Melbourne is basically already post apocalyptic so good setting, might give it a watch
Can't say I've ever seen it but you're right, it is based here. Although still post apocalyptic movies are mostly based in the US
Parker Nguyen
That's not true at all and you know it

Back when mad max was made and even decades before that was made, Australia was one of the lesser populated and isolated regions of the world so it made sense that they'd have a higher likelihood of surviving something like the apocalypse when the US and Russia are nuking each other in the 50s-80s and every other country is suffering the fallout. Australia would literally be the farthest away and least interconnected to all that bullshit that would kill everyone else.

how is it not true?
australia is fucked mate.

They aren't. Most of them are about America.
Benjamin Martin
We've been importing it so Mad Max esque Aus happens faster
Andrew Lee
Australia has good filming locations. That's it.
If Africa was a more stable continent, you'd see way more movies being shot there and the story events taking place in Africa.

Have you ever seen pictures of the outback?

Those cunts live in an apocalyptic nightmare as it is, they'll be the survivors.

We'll put up with this bullshit in perpetuity in exchange for some lamb and E.coli on a stick.

They already have giant mutated animals there. They don't need to have any special effects for that shit. Hell, they have antivenom libraries for bugs, arachnids, and serpents, every season. Their trees spontaneously burst into flames when a heat threshold is reached, as an evolutionary response to burn down all the other trees... Then they grow back on the ashen corpses.
Anthony Gonzalez
The Road Warrior is a highly based film, actually.
The evil gang are assorted faggots and pedos. Spoiler: in the end they lose to the traditional families.
Hunter Diaz
There's what, 5 apocalypse movies set in Australia? Are you retarded? Do you have any idea how many apocalypse movies there are?
* Book of Eli
* The Road
* Zombieland
* I am Legend
* 9
* Children of Men
* 12 Monkeys
* Planet of the Apes
* Etc.
I don't even think they're the #1 country. Both US and UK have them beat.

It was thought, in the 1980s, that in the event of nuclear war, nobody would bother nuking Australia. Hence the glut of movies where all the rest of the world, bar Australia, is radioactive ash.
Isaiah Moore
Because the rest of the world actually is post apocalyptic.
Daniel Gutierrez
Australia is a place that already looks like the apocalypse happened, so it's easier to imagine a post apocalyptic world there.
Anthony Russell
Yeah Aus is super cucked on guns, but with everything else we are nowhere near as bad as Sweden and the likes

Because it's an ugly desolate dust bowl already...saves money and time on having to make sets look like ugly desolate dust bowls.

Lol...that never fails to amuse me. Fucking piss weak
