Mondo Trasho returns with Australia's infamous WELCOME TO WOOP WOOP (1997) on pristine 35mm!

When American bird smuggler Teddy (Jonathon Schaech) is knocked unconscious, kidnapped, and transported Down Under, he finds himself in Woop Woop, an Outback shanty town cut off from society and populated by the inbred descendants of asbestos miners. Living off canned pineapple and regular screenings of Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals under the oppressive rule of Daddy-O (Rod Taylor), Teddy and the locals plot a fight for freedom and better tobacco.

Co-starring Rachel Griffiths, Susie Porter, Dee Smart, and Dame Edna's Barry Humphries, WELCOME TO WOOP WOOP is director Stephan Elliott's flop follow-up to THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT, and is considered either one of the worst films to ever come out of Australia or one of its greatest cult classics—if not both!
