Bill Hunter, born in 1940 in Australia, carved out a niche in cult cinema with his compelling performances. He appears as the gritty protagonist in Mad Dog Morgan (1976), a film that delves into the chaotic life of the infamous bushranger. Hunter also showcases his range in Stone (1974), where he plays a pivotal role in the world of motorcycle gangs. His contributions to Australian film, particularly in the 1970s, resonate within the realms of exploitation and grindhouse cinema, making him a significant figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
Stone
When several members of the GraveDiggers outlaw motorcycle club are murdered, Sydney detective Stone (Ken Shorter) is sent to investigate. Led by the Undertaker (Sandy Harbutt), a Vietnam war veteran, the GraveDiggers allow Stone to pose as a gang member.

Amid violent confrontations with the Black Hawks, a rival gang the GraveDiggers hold responsible, Stone uncovers a political conspiracy behind the killings. When the truth is revealed, Stone must choose between his job and his loyalty to the GraveDiggers.
