Final Cut is a 1980 Australian thriller film directed by Ross Dimsey. It was the first movie funded by the Queensland Film Corporation, who provided half the budget.[1] The Australian Film Commission and private investment provided the rest of the finance. It was originally envisioned as a tele movie but then developed into a feature.[2]

It was shot at Surfers Paradise.[3]
