About Mick Taylor
John Jarratt, who portrayed the sadistic character of Mick Taylor, was so convincing that he claims he was unable to get work for two years following the release of the first film, Wolf Creek. He modeled the personality traits of Mick’s character after his father—a polar opposite of Crocodile Dundee.
Mick Taylor pretends to be nice to the people he approaches, but he’s actually manipulative and deceitful. His main targets for his horrendous crimes are usually women, but he will also kill the men that his primary targets are with. He begins by stalking victims before he renders their cars immobile and later arriving with an offer to help. He usually offers to help tow them back to his camp, but he’ll murder you regardless if you say yes or no!
