What critics compared Harlequin to
Ozploitation attracted mavericks and misfits from film industries everywhere: drunk-driving champ Dennis Hopper (Mad Dog Morgan), "bloody pom" David Hemmings (Harlequin, Race for the Yankee Zephyr), Hong Kong action reject Jimmy Wang Yu, H'wood moonlighters Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis (they costarred in Roadgames), and perhaps not surprisingly, porno star John Holmes (Fantasm).
