The Cars that Ate Paris ran for three weeks - Oct 11, 1974 -till- Oct 31, 1974.

The Cars That Ate Paris (1974) was Peter Weir’s first feature film and is a foundational work of the “Ozploitation” genre. This horror-comedy depicts a rural Australian town that survives by orchestrating car accidents to salvage parts and survivors.

Despite the title, the film is set in the fictional Australian town of Paris. It was primarily shot in Sofala, a historic gold-rush town in New South Wales.
