Double Feature: WAKE IN FRIGHT + FIRST BLOOD

WAKE IN FRIGHT: On a two-year post at a tiny school in the Outback, disgruntled middle school teacher John Grant longs to spend the holidays with his girlfriend back in Sydney, but gets stranded in transit — or swallowed whole, rather — in “The Yabba”, a beer-soaked station town where barbarism and vice have found a permanent home.

FIRST BLOOD: Before John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) was franchised into an ‘80s-era mold of ultra-violence, he was a transient Vietnam Vet passing through rural Washington to see a war buddy for the holidays. Arrested for vagrancy by local sheriff (Brian Dennehy) and provoked by excessive jailhouse indignities, his elite survival training kicks in — and a manhunt ensues.
