Directed by Australian Russell Mulchay, who got the gig to direct this in 1984 from directing a Duran Duran video, this is a "hybrid" horror, much like the razorback depicted in the film. It was shot for an American audience from the point of view a female American documentation who starts out trying to cover a pet food trade selling dog foods made from native Australian bush meat...well at least the very first part is....after things go awry, an pissed off American (who states that he is actually a Canadian) and an even wiser, much more righteously pissed off Australian go after the monstrous pig with serious appetites. It's a fun movie. I haven't seen it in years, but I do remember that there are a lot of tongue and cheek references to all kinds of pop culture, from the equally Australian Mad Max films to the before mentioned Duran Duran.
