Money Movers is a 1978 Australian crime action drama film[3] written and directed by Bruce Beresford.
The film was based on the 1972 novel The Money Movers by Devon Minchin, founder of Metropolitan Security Services.
[5] Money Movers is "one of the few films of the 1970s that deal with crime and police corruption as an entrenched state of being, and one of the earliest to embrace extremely violent action.
When Eric Jackson breaks into Bassett's apartment, Henderson's men kidnap him and cut off the little toe on his left foot with a pair of bolt cutters in their attempt to force him to work for him.
Although fake money was used in the film, where there was calls for large amounts of cash, (approximately A$1 million was used) real armed guards from Metropolitan Security Services (MSS) were on hand.
"[9] Movie News said Money Movers "delivers an intriguing plot and hair-raising suspense with incredible pace and ferocity.
"[5] The movie has since gained something of a cult following among speedway fans in Australia largely thanks to the footage of the much-loved Rowley Park which closed just 13 months after filming was completed.
