I’m not sure how this will appeal to a general public but for those of us who remember the films, Not Quite Hollywood is a blast.

Reviews for Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of...
Think of Not Quite Hollywood as a vividly illustrated catalogue of astonishing smut.
07/30/09
This is as insightful a glimpse into a country’s cinema as you’re likely to see at this running time.
08/20/09
Top CriticAs recounted in Mark Hartley's entertaining documentary, twisted imaginations went wild after the post-'60s liberation from censorship and the introduction of tax breaks.
08/21/09
A fun and energized documentary about a neglected era of exploitation cinema, but it suffers from a couple of pretty critical sins of omission.
08/06/09
Strewth, it's a bloody ripper!
03/13/09
...more than a few of banana splits' worth of cinematic ice cream.
07/16/09
This isn't exactly a thesis that's going to win any awards, especially up against the latest documentary about the Holocaust or the war in Iraq. But as far as entertainment goes, it's about the most fun I've had all summer.
08/06/09
The archived clips flash by so quickly that the audience cannot get a grip on a single one.
07/26/09
As important as any history of 'legitimate' Australian cinema, and 10 times the fun, it's a shot to the heart for anyone who thought Down Under was only capable of dreary, culturally relevant filmmaking.
08/28/08
this lost treasure trove of cringe-making softcore, outrageous horror and balls-to-the-wall action... celebrates a nation humping, slicing and hammering out its modern identity through popular cultural forms.
03/09/09
Engaging, fast-paced documentary about the glory days of Australian exploitation movies that will delight existing fans of scurrilous films from Down Ynder and recruit new one from the ranks of moviegoers who aren't offended by extensive nudity, violence
07/16/09
Oddball horror flicks, sexploitation romps, car-chase extravaganzas - the clips burn throughout this film with a tone as giddy as its subject.
04/09/09
Using a dizzying array of clips and revealing interviews, the documentary is very affectionate, entertaining, and informative.
08/01/09
a speedball injection directly into the aorta
07/30/09
The best thing about Hartley’s film is that he has found the perfect form to investigate this past and pay a sweet homage to his cast of ratbag filmmakers, who deliberately tested the boundaries of good taste and political correctness.
08/28/08
If the thought of a new Brian Trenchard-Smith movie is more exhilarating than a new Bryan Singer movie... then Mark Hartley's "Not Quite Hollywood" is the film for you.
07/30/09
Cheerfully celebrates the energy and creativity of this subculture, and wants to rescue it from the toffee-nosed pundits who looked down on the genre.
03/13/09
An incredibly energetic and merrily messed-up celebration of Australian B-movies.
08/28/08
The onslaught of tastelessness begins even before the opening credits and continues nonstop for 103 deliciously sleazy minutes.
