Well Mr Dope Fiend...cactus is an aussie expression that means (according to Urban Dictionary) "dead, not functioning" or more specifically, fucked.
Waking up tied up in a strange car in the middle of the desert fits this definition...and the desert itself probably has a few cacti in it too. And maybe, just maybe, this whole movie is one big bad mescaline trip (as opposed to the kind of road trip that puts the bore in nullabor).
Unfortunately for us, the discerning viewer, there are no intergalactic space monster cactus people who want to kill us to feast upon our sweet sweet eye juices and use our hair as prosthetic spines - this is the other kind of b-grade movie, the too-many-cooks-spoil-the-broth kind.
If only Ruben didn't find the strength to overcome his tourettes then this movie would be at least funny (though the torture by wiggles scene was kinda amusing).
Stockholm Syndrome is interesting...in theory
