Robin Ramsay, an actor known for his roles in Mad Dog Morgan (1976) and Oz (1976), brings a gritty authenticity to the screen. In Mad Dog Morgan, he navigates the chaotic world of Australian bushrangers, while in Oz, he delves into the darker aspects of urban life. Ramsay's performances reflect the raw energy and unfiltered narratives characteristic of 1970s cult cinema, making him a notable figure in the exploration of exploitation and grindhouse genres.
Oz
Dorothy (Joy Dunstan) is a sixteen-year-old groupie riding with a rock band, Wally (Graham Matters) and the Falcons. Suddenly, the van is in a road accident, and she hits her head. She wakes up in a fantasy world as gritty and realistic as the one she came from and learns she killed a young thug in the process. A gay clothier, Glin the Good Fairy (Robin Ramsay), gives her a pair of red shoes as a reward to help her see the last concert of the Wizard (Matters), an androgynous glam rock singer. She is pursued by the thug's brother (Ned Kelly) who attempts to rape her on several occasions. She also meets a dumb surfer Blondie (Bruce Spence), a heartless mechanic Greaseball (Michael Carman), and a cowardly biker Killer (Garry Waddell).
