Vigilante (2008)
Here's some Ozploitation that's awe-ful. Why is it notable? It's Margot Robbie's first feature film. She gets a really small credit in the opening towards the end because she was nobody back then, but she dominates this film. Margot plays the fiancee of the protag, who becomes the ninja-clad vigilante. Why? On the night Margot accepts his proposal, they hang out on the beach, but are interupted by some punks who beat the crap out of soon-to-be vigilante and rape Margot, a scene that is thankfully off screen. Also thankful that this happens in the first ten mins or so, and Margot is really only in the proposal scene just before, then the beach violence scene. The fights are dumb. Beefy aussies who can't even pull off pro wrasslin moves. I bailed when Margot was out, then ff-ed to see if she appears in a flashback later on, but it didn't seem like she did, so I was done.
