Running on Empty 1982: The Re-Edit (Car Focused)

Фильм және анимация

Running on Empty is a Australian film released in 1982.
I have been a fan of this movie since I first watched it over 20 years ago. The cars and the Raw footage of all that power without any modern tech for tricks, its just Timeless. I created this video as a Tribute to Running on Empty. I spent a lot of time making this focused on the cars while also attempting to maintain some element of the story too. This is a truly great Australian film with some of the best V8 noises, Hope everyone enjoys.

    I’m in the USA but I loved this flick ! You guys have different names for the cars and different set ups as well . We never had a 351 Falcon that I can remember (65 years old) and a Fox Challenger ? What the hell is that ? I need to study up on Aussie car culture , it’s similar here . I just bought a 2023 purple Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak (717 hp ) so I loved seeing the old one in this video . Take care all and thanks for posting this !

The GT didn't have AC it was a factory order. They didn't handle that good really. It was a nice car though. I'm old now and wish I had the space to store my old car's.

    I like how the overarching story is just the main character becoming as ruthless as the villain to win. First introduction to the Phase 3 Falcon when I was younger. Not a car you see over here, but interesting nonetheless. A little weird Ford Australia never bagged some 427s or Cobra Jets for that program before the law cracked down on y'all though.
