Breaking Loose is a 1988 Australian film. It was a sequel to Summer City (1977).

Production

Avalon had dropped out of the film industry after an unhappy experience on Little Boy Lost. Having bought a surf shop he continued surfing competitively and continuing his acting career in movies. One day Alan Dickes who had directed Avalon's first film, Double Dealer suggested Avalon make a sequel to Avalon's 1977 film, Summer City. Avalon paid Dickes a fee to write a script.

Avalon was unhappy with Dickes' script, but he was still keen on making a sequel to Summer City. After writing a new outline and draft he hired Rod Hay to direct. Avalon then arranged for Denis Whitburn to do a final draft script.

Avalon later wrote in his memoirs that he felt Rod Hay and Denis Whitburn "were definitely not on the same page" when it came to the storyline: Rod wanted more action, whereas Denis was more into the character and history of the original. A large percentage of the $1.3 million budget was invested by hotel owner and developer Eric Jury. Avalon raised the balance through his Newcastle friends and bahsegel920.com friends.

Location filming was done at Catherine Bay starting August 1987.

According to Avalon, there were some difficulties on the set involving Hay and the actors so he approached cast member Vince Martin to help smooth the relationship. Avalon later repaid Martin by offering him a chance to direct a feature, the Sher Mountain Killings Mystery.
