Fatal Bond is a 1992 Australian 'B' grade and thriller film, directed by Vince Monton, starring Linda Blair and Jerome Ehlers. It was filmed in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, Australia, including Narrabeen Caravan Park.
Joe Martinez (Jerome Ehlers) is a man without a home or a known past. His only friend seems to be the Valiant car that rockets him through time and across landscape. He is a loner with a violent temper that bristles whenever he feels society is grinding down on him. If anyone encroaches upon his sense of freedom (be he a bouncer or a criminal), Joe explodes - a quick headbutt followed by a frantic attack of a swirling fists.
On one such occasion, he is saved from arrest by Leonie (Linda Blair), a hairdresser with an American accent and a poor love life. She is clearly attracted to Joe's sexual charisma and his anti-social nature. In some ways, Leonie personifies those women who are drawn to unlovable men, who find reasons to stay when most other would have fled.
Fatal Bond grossed $13,871 at the box office in Australia.
