Despite its potential, Bush Christmas never quite managed to live up to expectations.

Windrider is a movie that didn't make much of a splash when it was released in 1986. Despite having a talented Vincent Monton at the helm and a cast that includes Tom Burlinson, Nicole Kidman, and Jill Perryman, the movie failed to generate much buzz.
