The law of unintended consequences. The popularity of the first 2 movies in the states saw many Ford GT coupes and sedans sold and exported to the U.S. for fans to build their own "interceptors". They have become so scarce (or expensive) in Australia that the one used in "Fury"Road" was actually sourced in South Africa (where they were apparently imported with many other Australian models during the 60's and 70's).

I suppose, if you cannot find a Falcon, a Capri is sort of similar in generic shape and style, just a bit smaller, and in need of some cosmetic work for the front end looks, wheels, and an engine change or fake/repilica Charger & Ram Scoop system etc. Becareful if it you have a duel exhaust set up like in the 'Laser' sub-model, the rear muffler boxes are located too close to the rear wheels, that in hot weather on long drives, they can start to melt the rear tyres inside sidewalls - the exhausts follow the same underbody routings.

Mad Max. Love it! The beginning of one of the great trilogies in cinema history. The beginning of the icon status of 'Max'. It definitely brought high speed chases up close and personal and it was only the start. Also it began a run a very interesting antagonist. We in the States love this... Thanks Minty, fun channel.

I first saw this movie as an early preview before it was widely released in America. I was totally pulled in by the opening chase scene. The camera angles really put the viewer in the middle of the action and gave you the sensation of adrenaline pumping speed. Years later I purchased the special edition DVD that had the original Australian soundtrack. I totally like this version better. I had no problem understanding the dialog and the accents just seemed to fit the characters better. In my opinion, this added to the flavor of the film and felt much more authentic. I think that sometimes decisions are made by marketing people that underestimate the intelligence of the viewer. Thanks for a great video! I learned a few new things in this one! SUSCRIBED! I've been stalking this channel for a while. Love your work and looking forward to seeing more!

When I first saw this, I about pulled my hair out trying to figure out where it was supposed to be. I noticed the right hand drive on the cars, but many of the cars were recognizably American, even if some of the trim didn't look quite right. The accents (I saw the dubbed version) were American, but most of the other dubbed movies I'd seen at the time were "Spaghetti Westerns" and what I was seeing clearly wasn't Italy or Spain. And, were it an American film, why was it dubbed? The lay of the land didn't look quite right for an American film either, but neither did it look like any place in Europe I was familiar with. I was quite young at the time, so Australia didn't readily spring to mind, and it took about half the movie before it finally dawned on me that's where it was from. I agree with other comments that the Australian dialogue version is preferable.

I am from Sweden and because of the ban we all saw it. It is such a good film and later on franchise!

Twenty years ago I bought a Ford Falcon XB GS from an importer in Texas and went broke trying to keep it running. While it did, however, it was a hoot to drive this car in Boulder, Colorado. Most folks just thought it was a junky old Torino, but every so often someone would recognize it for what it was and lose their minds. The right hand drive messed with most folks, but the mailmen loved it! Mad Max is one of my all time favorite movies; long before the original Aussie dialogue was released, I shucked out for a bootleg VHS with the original recording (on our current releases, it has both original and American dubs now). The movie actually flopped in the USA; had it done as well here as the rest of the world, the profit margin would have been higher. As for Max in the helmet, he never wears one in the movie, but you can see a silver helmet in the parcel shelf of his yellow and blue interceptor at the start of the movie. The black interceptor, when first seen in the garage, has its hood up, with a yellow bucket sitting upside down on the side of the engine. The Weiand supercharger is just a shell; the bucket covers an electric motor that was actually driving the belt and pulley on the front of the supercharger! The '59 Chevrolet was on its way to a junkyard before being painted and the interior lined with cheap faux fur. The rusty water coming out the radiator gives a clue to its actual condition. George Miller's car that was destroyed is the blue Mazda Bongo van in the opening chase sequence. Finally, no Australian actor has actually played Max! Mel Gibson was born in Peteskill, New York and emigrated to Australia in his youth, while Tom Hardy is from London, England. Hugh Keays-Byrne, incidentally, was born in Jammu and Kashmir, India and mostly grew up in England. He and Bruce Spence (who was born and raised in New Zealand) are the only actors other than Mel Gibson to have appeared in two Mad Max movies, though they played different characters in each movie.

Sad thing is, even with the re-dubbing and changing the trailers / posters, Mad Max flew completely under the radar in the U.S. Like most Americans, my first exposure to the series was The Road Warrior (it was never referred to as 'Mad Max 2' over here), which I think is still the best of the entire franchise. As I understand it, the original intent was for Lord Humongous to actually be Max's old partner, Jim Goose, to be reveled at the end after Max removes the mask from Humongous' body. One of the main reasons for scrapping this was because most Americans had never even heard of Mad Max and had no idea who Goose was, or that The Road Warrior was a sequel. Pity, because I think that would be awesome. I was only about ten when the ambitious, albeit highly disappointing Beyond Thunderdome was released and lost interest in the series until the announcement of Fury Road. It was only then that I finally saw the original film.

I remember going to see this movie as a kid at a drive-in theater, there was not many things better to me as a kid than going to the drive-in. I loved the movie right off. The car and motorcycle stunts were just awesome and still are. Lots of satisfaction to be had watching Max take care of the bad guys.

As a child in the 80s, I saw the Road Warrior movie first. Then Beyond Thunderdome. Didn't watch this movie until much later. However I was always under the impression that the Road Warrior was the best of them all. Would like to see your thoughts on that movie as well!

When I was a kid MAD MAX only came on TV late at night on local stations. Parents didn't want kids to see the violence, like the scene where the toddler wanders onto the highway, but we always found a way to watch it. Such a good movie! Crazy futuristic vibe. Turned me into a car nut for sure! "The Toe Cutter. He knows who I am!"

I remember reading that George Miller payed the extras in beer.

I wonder why King thought it was such a "turkey?" It's like a piece of art to me. I saw this as a kid and was forever traumatized by the mom and child being run down. Despite the violence it's really a thought provoking piece of work that, to me, symbolically speaks volumes about how our actual society functions. Anyway, maybe King thought all the violence was a gimmick and thought it was trying to use shock value to be noticed.

Very much anticipated "The Road Warrior" for more car action. When When you watch, "Babe" you can see the similarities in style between it and Mad Max(?!).

I had an old 64 El Camino that was wrecked on the drivers rear 1/4 panel, spay painted 'Pursuit" over it... Classic movie, and the best one in my opinion. Still one of my favorites after all the years, it's around here on VHS somewhere!

Great behind the scenes info! This is one of my favourite movies of all time, luv all those custom race bikes and Interceptors!

I remember the "oil crisis". Here in the US, it was similar to what you mentioned about it in Australia. I was only 6 years old in '73, but it left an impression on me. Mad Max is a great movie, and I loved it the first time I saw it. I was 12 when it came out, and didn't see it until it was out of theaters. Part of me was heartbroken when I learned that most of the voices had been overdubbed. I actively sought out a version with the REAL voice track. It was eventually released on DVD with both voice tracks. Joanna Samuals(Max's wife) was a favorite character of mine in the movie, and always felt she was sexy as all get out. Definitely a favorite movie of mine.

Great movie. A classic. Changed my life. Obsession of my life. Only other Australian movie worth shit Road games with Stacey Keech. But mad Max had me wearing a motorcycle helmet throughout my youth.

Such a badass movie! The Mad Max interceptor is in my home state of Florida here in the US. Love to go see it.

David Hornback , if you watch closely as the gang lines up to park at the depot, you will see that not all of them are Kawis. I heard that Kawi donated (or loaned, I think) fourteen KZ 1000 motorcycles (a few may have come up missing, before their first call time) and some of the bikes belonged to cast and crew (including the Kawi triple that Goose rides, while he's on crutches, which may have actually belonged to Bisley).

Hey Minty, you forgot to mention that the MFP police cars driven by March Hare and Big Bopper were retired taxi cabs and that Max's car, the one that he drove before getting the black interceptor, had been a police car in real life as well as in the film Additionally, March Hare's and Big Bopper's cars were Ford Falcon XA's while Max's car was a Falcon XB

Great clip Bro! I always remember seeing this flick on VHS 1980 was blown away... it's become a one of my favorite movies..and definitely love Road Warrior...classics. My brother's and several close friends always quote from these movies . Just like The Godfather quotes. 🍺😎✌ Watching in Chicago.

Mad Max gave us our first look at some possible terrifying scenarios of the future, that could happen as a result of some catastrophic meltdown of society. All of the violence and road rage were a real thrill ride at the box office in 79, and into now. Amazing how "low budget" films can produce great results on the screen!

The 2 4 doors in the opening scene were actually about fucked before filming. The Boppers was a ex cop car with big miles and the other was A XA ex taxi with massive engine problems on a 6 banger lump .There was nothing fake about the shite it kicked out of it's pipes it actually was burning oil at a rapid rate... I've read a write up on most of the vehicles used in Mad Max 1+2. The only 4 that was a XB GT was the one Max used and the Black 2 door XB GT Coupe the rest were just plain Jane XB,s and XA,s... Where all were scrapped after filming. The black original 2 door was left on a farm in the Australian outback along with some other vehicles which were reused in Mad Max 2 hence why the 2 Sunray 8 spokes were changed on the rear in the 2nd film as it was heavily striped of external and internal parts by thieves. So whoever has the one from the 2 Nd film actually has 1 of the 3 original 2door XB GT,s..

Don't recall at what age I saw Mad Max, but I was very young. Loved Mad Max and I'll still sit and watch it every now and then.

Watched this as kid. Mesmerized by v8 interceptor special and got me to love cars. 😁

The last of the V8 interceptors!

Cannot get enough of this film, it was one of the first videos rented by my Dad for me when I was but a nipper. About 5 years ago there was a Pursuit Special V8 Interceptor come up for sale about 10 miles away from me, but by the time I'd got the £££ sorted it had been sold, would love to own one. NB, Seems like calling a character "Goose" is like giving someone a red shirt in Star Trek :D

Another brief note for die hard Mad Max fans in Melbourne, Australia. "Scienceworks" in Williamstown (which contains the old Melbourne sewerage pumping station that served as MFP headquarters in the movie) is holding a 40th anniversary event in April with replica vehicles on hand and a screening of the movie.

Brilliant , I remember seeing Max in theaters with my friends when i was 12 years old. Movies were cheap back then saw it a dozen times ,Bought it on Cassette when that got big then again on DVD. The DVD version was the first time i heard Mad Max in its OG Aussie Shakespearean Glory and not our dubbed over Yank version, Loved it then love it now, this was fun thanks guy
