The Coolangatta Gold is a 1984 Australian film directed by Igor Auzins and written by Peter Schreck and Ted Robinson.

Writer Peter Schreck and director Igor Auzins had worked together successfully on the 1982 film We of the Never Never and decided to collaborate on another project.

They wanted to do a contemporary love story in the sporting genre, and originally thought of doing a $1.5 million film shot in Bondi.

The sketch "The Last Aussie Auteur: A Tribute to Filmmaker Warren Perso" features excerpts from various (fictional) Australian films, one being a box-office flop titled The Bermagui Bronze.

It looks sumptuous – the big screen photography, lush colours, Leni Riefenstahl-esque depiction of athleticism – and is superbly edited.

The DVD is compatible with all region codes and includes special features such as a photo gallery, the making of The Coolangatta Gold and a Good Morning Australia segment.
