  • Descrição: Inevitably, as Tom O'Regan writes, national cinemas must 'carve a space locally and internationally for themselves in the face of the dominant international cinema, Hollywood' (O'Regan 1996: 1). Because Hollywood cinema is overwhelmingly a cinema of genre films, this means, in effect, working within the genre system, with its inherent constraints and possibilities. [...]after rescuing Corlie (Annie McEnroe), the daughter of the evil Straker (Wainwright), Hunter rides off on his motorcycle into the desert, like Shane and countless other classic western heroes. There are moments in New Zealand genre films - the priest with the machete in Kung Fu Vampire Killers inevitably recalls the one in Jackson's Braindead who boasts 'I kick ass for the Lord', while the road movie Snakeskin (2001) provides a periodic cameo of the famous yellow Mini in Goodbye Pork Pie - but they are rare. [...]since New Zealand is in the process of developing its own generic traditions, it sensibly has sought to build upon the American genres with which both local and foreign audiences would be familiar. According to Jackson, New Zealand cinema has no particular generic tradition, just a loose bunch of film-makers who, merely making what is of interest to them, 'end up muddying the genres' (Quoted in Barr and Barr 1996: 156).
