Excellent movie if your a Australian rev head , took me straight back to when I was young watching it with mates, I want a XY GT now

Thanks for that. Blew my mind back in the day. best movie growing up. Top Stuff

GT ‘s were worth fuck all then & now one real GT is worth more than what it cost to make the movie . Unreal .

What a movie! I have this on VHS and DVD!

An icon movie along with Mad Max and Midnight spares

With the 36gallon or 162.36 litre fuel tanks.

You can still get to a majority of these filming locations. Bring on the Running on Empty Festival 2025 in Cobar.

Mate one of Australia's best flix almost as mad as Mad Max 1. I am the Night Rider 👍👍

The Dodge Daytona at 5:13 has to be the one that makes rare random appearances up here in newcastle. Its like some sort of unicorn.

The black 57 hanged out up in western sydney near liverpool for many years after the movie.

That final scene was on the new breakwall at La Perouse protecting Port Botany when it was first completed. It just had 'Drag Strip' written all over it. There was only one way one and off. If people were racing, the local Highway Patrol just parked at the end and blocked it off. No where for the racers or spectators to go. Very sad if you were racing. Very humorous for the HWP. Everyone got the message and migrated to Kurnell Point and raced on the road out to the Continental Carbon factory. The sandhills are mostly gone now and I don't even know if the factory still exists. Many years ago now. I wish I still had my 6 cyl and V8 Hemi Chargers.

And Kurnell was 1 road in as well , the HWP just waited at the turn off.

@@shellez101 Yeah, but the road to Continental Carbon was surrounded by sandhills, so there was no irate Karens ringing the Police to give them up. No mobile phones then and the nearest booth was Kurnell near the sports club or near Cronulla Golf Club. I lived about 100m from Cronulla High School for many years, so I knew that area well. (I also worked out of Maroubra Police Station in the HWP, so I know that as far as Kurnell was concerned, the racers were long gone before the Police were even notified that they were there. There was about a dozen locations all over Sydney, they turned up, had about 6 races, then moved on to the next location. Unless witnesses were prepared to make a statement, all the Police could do was hand out defect notices between locations. Awful boring from the point of all concerned. But the order came from higher up. It was not until there was some fatal accidents that laws were introduced for a specific offence of racing and the power to impound cars.

It's a silly silly film. Good fun though.

I love this movie

Thanks Cobber.🖖

Best movie ever brings back memories love it

I was there, in my shitty Datto 120y.

Without a doubt the best movie in history

I still like to think it was a red jazzed up falcon 500.... Surely even back then they wouldn't have trashed a ph3.... Nah didn't happen
