Rikky and Pete is a 1988 Australian film directed by Nadia Tass, written by David Parker, and starring Stephen Kearney and Nina Landis.
Rikky Menzies (Nina Landis) is an out-of-work geologist and aspiring singer (vocals by Wendy Matthews). Her brother Pete Menzies (Stephen Kearney) is a misfit inventor. To find peace of mind and escape the ire of Police Sergeant Whitstead (Bill Hunter), they travel the outbacks of Australia until they reach the desert mining town of Mount Isa and its own zany individualists.
While United Artists provided $3 million of the budget, the rest of the money raised privately in Australia through 10BA. Shooting took place in Melbourne and Broken Hill.
Rikky and Pete grossed A$1,071,875 at the box office in Australia, which is equivalent to $2,014,185 in 2009 dollars.
