As a 9 year old watching this at a drive in movie theater here in the States it was awesome.I know much about the cars of the day but that XB blew my mind.Fond memories from a old mechanic here in the state of Virginia.
I've loved those cars ever since the original movie came out. I was a new police officer in the U.S. and wanted to drive the Interceptor. I still do as a retired cop many years later.
Still one of the best movies ever made, and still an absolute wet dream of a car. "A p-p-p-piece from here, a-and a p--iece from there"... Stuff that movie legends are made of.:)
@@sadok6066 Kind of a different version/telling...more akin to a reboot, which takes nothing away from the original. They're both great, for different reasons. The 1979 film, during the Cold War, was a piece of cinematic art that was like a warning: hang on to your humanity, or society -- already on the edge of a knife -- will crumble.
God bless Australia!!!....I love Mad Max since I was 5 years old....now I am 46 and I still love it....Mel should be our president....best regards from Mexico!
First saw Mad Max when it was on HBO probably 1980, as a 9 year old it blew me away and still love it. The car the Nightrider stole is really cool too.
NOPE the 1957 chev in running on empty did it for me, which is all real cars not cars done up to look real ? But in saying that i have the original photos taken by the prop department for the crash scenes in MAD MAX 1 re: Pipe road / cherry lane in Laverton car chase and the XP Ute towing the Caravan etc. :) Which by the way was all done by blue screens, some of the car chase scenes were real and some of the crashes, but some of the crashes were not. :)
From what i remember the Holden Monaro used by the Nightrider was also called Pursuit Special. And there were two versions of the yellow XB ones, one called Pursuit and one Interceptor.
Sweet looking cars. If I lived in Australia, and I could afford one of the two, I'd take the XB Falcon MFP sedan. It's always been my favourite of the two.
Having both the original and US version on DVD I think that the US dialogue in the opening had Roop jump on the radio to say ''...and better send an ambulance because Charlie has been hurt real bad" where as the original is "...and better send a meat truck as Charlie has copped a saucepan in the throat".
"Duck's guts" sums up these two beasts in a nutshell. Parents had a XY station wagon so the Ford family line was pretty much set in stone. I had a XA sedan with 'everything' except a 351 ... and a XB sedan with a 351, but unfortunately it had a terminal illness. Along the way I've had a Capri, Cortina, EA sedan, and a AU II ute. Still love my Fords :) .
When it came time to modify my black 09 clubby I used the same ideas as the ducks guts interceptor. Roof spoiler, small boot spoiler, black wheels and matte black highlights. That car definitely made an impression on my young mind about how a tough car should look.
I've seen a few of those mfp xb falcons around, the last one was a couple months ago in Gosford. It was slightly faded but the fading made it look better.
The only car that still looks awesome if it gets roughed up. If i had the money id have both the nice one from the first movie and the rough one from the second
Maaaan,I'd love to drive a BEAST like one of these. The nearest thing to a ford Falcon we had here in Brasil was the Maverick V8 engine ones. My mother had a ford Corcel 1978. Was amazing with a GREAT motor too. Memories
What most people outside Australia won't know is that these models of car were used stock as Taxis in Sydney during late 70's and early 80's ... we used to ride in them as a matter of course.
I love it! Either one.i saw in person the BLACK INTERCEPTOR in discovery museo in silver spring long time ago,is very intimidate! One of my favorite and The Black BEAUTY.
Sorry as an American my opinion on Australia iconic film series don't mean much but the first mad max by far the best it gives reason for max being mad the emotional roller coaster it gave is awsom so to me Mad Max the best in it original Australia sound score
Even the official UK release had the American overdub, I bought it on DVD a while back, watched ten seconds before being immediately horrified, then thankfully found the original Aussie soundtrack as an audio option. It was a close call.
На мой взгляд из двух этих авто популярнее именно чёрный на чёрном хоть конечно и увидели и услышали его только в гараже в самом начале, но в конце он больше запомнился 👍👍👍👍
I'm 36 and I just saw the movie for the first time the other day. If they made that style of Falcon here in the US, I guarantee they'd still be on the road today.
I remember being being at the cinema as a kid, and all the films were coming soon aired their trailers. Mad Max totally stuck with me. So when we got the VHS version I was totally hooked that Australian Ford Falcon XB totally blew me away.
First saw MM2 (aka: The Road Warrior) at the drive in movies on the Gold Coast. A few XA Falcons in the crowd and one fastback did a HUGE burnout as it was leaving. That got a cheer from the crowd but he must have put gravel rash on a dozen cars. Arsehole / legend.
I appreciate you sharing the patrol falcon and the interceptor falcon they are some pretty cool aussie muscle and by the way a police chief who looked like a circus strongman named fifi was awesome and I got a kick out of his watering pot plants it was a pretty good gag as one of the local police departments had some pot trees growing infront of the police station and courthouse too
I grew up in WA with an XB GT351 black 2 door coupe around the corner from me.....bit rough around the edges...but perfect in my eyes......damn i wish i could have got it
As a kid I got to ride around in every Falcon from XW to XC as my dad was a Ford man. We also had Zephyrs, Cortinas, Escorts and even ine of the ugly little Anglias. He ONCE took an HQ for a test drive..& promptly returned it. Never rode in another Holden til I bought the first of many Commodores that started with a VL & ended with a VU V8.. now I have a very low mileage BF2 BOSS tucked away in a corner of my garage to come out on sunny days only. I love V8s, I love Commodores but I adore Falcons.. XA to XC particularly. The star of Mad Max is his black interceptor (& only the first movie is really a classic because of this)
Could be worse, they could be re-badging a fwd European car as the Falcon. Fortunately no one would be stupid enough to do something like that...oh wait..
Been away from Australia a long time. Grew up there my dad in the RAAF. My brothers huge Ford fans with XW and XY Falcons. Wanted a brand new XB GT as a teenager. Would see them around town. Closest I got was a '66 Falcon when I was 19. The way of the world now sucks. And the old one gone forever.
Marky Hursh correct!!!!!! Early mustangs were full of falcon parts!! Too many mustangs produced........ x series falcons are the true classic.......from the end of alphabet r t w y to start of alphabet a b c....!!!!!!!!
Most cars since the 50s and 60s have shared most of their components with their sister models. Dodge charger shares nearly everything with its family counterparts in Plymouth etc, like cameros, novas, chevelles, etc., and ford did it too, so what. Spot the difference between a challenger and barracuda, etc.
I notice the side-pipes are fluted unlike the straight ones seen in Mad Max 2/Road Warrior - a not so exact restoration or were they fluted in the first movie?
this is cool, after watching the first one, my dream car was a v8 intercpetor. But because it's almost impossible to get one, I now want a ford falcon xb gt coupe 1973
The yellow ‘Pursuit’ car as you introduced it was actually Max’s yellow INTERCEPTOR. If you watch the early scenes of the first movie you will see Max’s yellow Interceptor, like yours had a few cosmetic differences to the yellow Pursuit cars. Five glaring differences are Max’s Interceptor, like yours not only had a different colour scheme to the Pursuit cars but the blue and red rotating lights on the roof were also much larger than the twin blue bubbles on the Pursuit cars. Max’s Interceptor also had a yellow siren on the roof like yours where the Pursuit cars had black. Like yours, Max’s Interceptor had chrome mags as opposed to the yellow mags on the Pursuit cars. Finally Max’s car had the word ***INTERCEPTOR*** decal across the boot/trunk as does yours whereas the others has the word ***PURSUIT*** so please stop referring to the yellow interceptor as a pursuit car. Perhaps you described it as such so as to differentiate between the black coupe and the yellow sedan as they are both interceptors but your description can be quite deceptive.
Yep, both of these cars were INTERCEPTORS. There were two yellow Pursuit cars featured in the film, and the black Pursuit "Special" driven by The Night Rider... Remember Him before you make such a mistake
The 4 door Pursuit was a worked 302 which beat the 4 door 351 Interceptor. The XA was only a 6cyl. They ran the Monaro through the bush & trees to get it looking rough as it was well looked after, until the movie.
Humongous had weird ww2 pictures and medals...dont think goose had anything to do with that plus goose wasnt nearly as big...dude lived up to his fictional name...
No, Goose was way too law abiding and decent, he,d rather kill the skags than run with them, his physical stature is almost secondary or even irrelavent to this discussion.
These are the "The Duck's Guts" The European Ford Capri/Escort as both well known can be heavily modified to become a virtual V8 Interceptor!..of sorts!
MFP - Main Force Patrol. Keeping together whats left of a dystopian future. Actual ultra dangerous stunts - never to be duplicated with CG computer effects, and insurance regs. outlawed these stunts here in US.
Original and best Mad Max film... couldn't agree more. I guess I like the characters, Goose, Rupe, Charley, Fifi, the feel of the film, real edgy. The Road Warrior is still awesome. ... is it not the yellow Falcon the "Interceptor" and the black modified Falcon "Pursuit Special"? ... Rupe and Charley's car had just "Pursuit" on it I believe... ???
There was even a plot to have the severely burned and disfigured Goose be Humungus, but time constraints and a whole lot of other crap simply dictated it couldnt be done.
brian a The Goose/Humongous script is bullshit, it's an internet rumour. Not true. The rogue cops are just units that took advantage of their uniform and position during the fall of humanity.
Running on empty is another great early aussie muscle car flick its up there with mad max.I relate to running on empty alot more due to cruzing in toranas falcons hq monaros in the 80`S around the melbourne cbd.Places like lygon st elwood beach oh and sometimes a group of us all cruzing up to the dandy drags ;) and when we weren't out cruzen you would find us under our cars.
The yellow falcon is absolutely stunning ❤
As a 9 year old watching this at a drive in movie theater here in the States it was awesome.I know much about the cars of the day but that XB blew my mind.Fond memories from a old mechanic here in the state of Virginia.
still the most Bad Ass car to ever skid across the silver screen.

В самое время купить себе Чëрный Перехватчик.
They should of never stopped building Falcon's. Even if it was a limited release each year they should keep going.
Still one of the best movies ever made, and still an absolute wet dream of a car.
"A p-p-p-piece from here, a-and a p--iece from there"...

Both Mad Max and Road Warrior are still awesome flicks to this day!

A tear from my 44yr old eye...long live the memories.
Wow! How cool is that, I just watched Mad Max last night.
He had such a baby face.
The XB coupe was called the Pursuit Special. The XB is the Interceptor.
Exactly
Its the last of the interceptors. The Pursuit Special.
@Why So Serious? it's a common misconception. Had to watch it again.
From what i remember the Holden Monaro used by the Nightrider was also called Pursuit Special.
And there were two versions of the yellow XB ones, one called Pursuit and one Interceptor.

You are welcome in Australia *any* time Billy! :-)
He is only welcome if he can do a burnout in an V8, hold a VB in one hand while wearing thongs all at the same time.
I draw the line at the VB... Nobody deserves that torture :-P
Give him a New...
One is the best. Best story, best cars, best car chase scenes. Two has a good opening scene. Three and four are crap. Specially Furiosa's Road.
Road warrior ending. number two for me...the origanal a close second...fury road for just plain awesomeness number 3 😏
Even the official UK release had the American overdub, I bought it on DVD a while back, watched ten seconds before being immediately horrified, then thankfully found the original Aussie soundtrack as an audio option. It was a close call.

Love how it still had the locktronic siren control (lts) siren on it!
Just lovely great memories of a great film
Both i love them both the pursuit and the interceptor ford falcon awesome 😎😎😎😎❤❤❤❤
He would drive a vxr8 Bathurst s. 6.2 v8 supercharged. A modern day spiritual successor. Beautiful car.
I love the first Mad Max film, it's such a great movie
Love the red and blue lights😉👍
nothing like starting off by insulting the main character of the movie.
All for a cheap one liner
Yeah, 'cause Mel Gibson can really do with a break...
yea and he called the first one the best one.
@@nigelpisswater484 The first one is the best one. Without the first one, there would not have been any sequels.
He insulted the actor and not the character. Mel Gibson the actor is a complete and utter twatwaffle.
Beautiful cars.
God yes, fantastic motors love the soundtrack these cars produce
Love the original Mad Max.. my fav film. Those cars are iconic.
That note is music to my ears.
I remember being being at the cinema as a kid, and all the films were coming soon aired their trailers. Mad Max totally stuck with me. So when we got the VHS version I was totally hooked that Australian Ford Falcon XB totally blew me away.
Those are some beautiful cars
The ford falcon xb gt interceptor, my dream
Aside from driving on the Wrong side of the Road, or the Steering wheel on the Wrong side of the Car. - I really LIKE IT !!! Rh DSD King DIO
First saw MM2 (aka: The Road Warrior) at the drive in movies on the Gold Coast. A few XA Falcons in the crowd and one fastback did a HUGE burnout as it was leaving.
That got a cheer from the crowd but he must have put gravel rash on a dozen cars.
Arsehole / legend.
Naaah.....just arsehole 😃
I used to drive an XB at work back in the 70's. Wish they had looked like these.
Ever heard a real blower ? Listen to that whine, either they've done a spectacular job of overdubbing the sound of a real blower, or that one is real.
Great cars from an excellent movie!

was it in Morley?
Oooof the pursuit intercepter is BEAUTIFUL!
I love the pursuit
The yellow XB on the right just went past us near Maitland NSW, just now..😊
My two favorite movie cars. Those cars are way bad ass
The 4 door XB Falcon is one of my dream cars

I love V8s, I love Commodores but I adore Falcons.. XA to XC particularly. The star of Mad Max is his black interceptor (& only the first movie is really a classic because of this)
Which film is the best in the series is debatable, but seeing these cars that were so lovingly recreated was awesome!
I bloody want to get that!
It sucks that the Australian Ford Falcon is nolonger being made nomore that car was a cool ride!
nathan cook at least it died a good death unlike the commo
Could be worse, they could be re-badging a fwd European car as the Falcon. Fortunately no one would be stupid enough to do something like that...oh wait..
When you think about it, the Falcon was an Aussie Mustang (or at least the 2-door ones). Hell, Mustangs had borrowed parts from Falcons.
Been away from Australia a long time. Grew up there my dad in the RAAF. My brothers huge Ford fans with XW and XY Falcons. Wanted a brand new XB GT as a teenager. Would see them around town. Closest I got was a '66 Falcon when I was 19. The way of the world now sucks. And the old one gone forever.
This cars mad Max cars v8powerful great car
Que preciosidad!
Best movie ever made
SUPER WOW I WOULD LOVE TO DRIVE THOSE THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
MOST DON'T know that the Mustang started out as a Falcon with different sheet metal!
Marky Hursh correct!!!!!! Early mustangs were full of falcon parts!! Too many mustangs produced........ x series falcons are the true classic.......from the end of alphabet r t w y to start of alphabet a b c....!!!!!!!!
Chris Ayres thanks Chris I'd never heard that.... one of my life's biggest regrets was selling my Xu falcon ute. It was pretty tough.
@Chris Ayres the Falcon and the Mustangs used the EXACT SAME RUNNING GEAR tho so youre whole statement is FALSE.
Most cars since the 50s and 60s have shared most of their components with their sister models.
Dodge charger shares nearly everything with its family counterparts in Plymouth etc, like cameros, novas, chevelles, etc., and ford did it too, so what.

Too bad you are so far away ; mine is for sale .
The XB is a childhood dreamcar of mine.
my very 1st car
MAN I LOVE EM
Original and best? That's a bold statement...
The interceptor is timeless though.
I notice the side-pipes are fluted unlike the straight ones seen in Mad Max 2/Road Warrior - a not so exact restoration or were they fluted in the first movie?
Love that car, and I still eant someone to build a Mad Max 2/Road Warrior version.

Ford Falcon was ahead of its time. It looked like a late '80s car.
The 4 door Pursuit was a worked 302 which beat the 4 door 351 Interceptor. The XA was only a 6cyl. They ran the Monaro through the bush & trees to get it looking rough as it was well looked after, until the movie.
My favorite is and remains the MFP Pursuit car, megacool
excellent!
Love it. I'd personally like to have the interceptor from MadMax 2.
It's a rumour that Humongous in the second film is Goose from the first.
Humongous had weird ww2 pictures and medals...dont think goose had anything to do with that plus goose wasnt nearly as big...dude lived up to his fictional name...
No, Goose was way too law abiding and decent, he,d rather kill the skags than run with them, his physical stature is almost secondary or even irrelavent to this discussion.
Toecutter from the first film did play Immortan Joe in _Mad Max: Fury Road!_
goose was cooked in the first movie
There needs to be a famous cars drag race. Like the black interceptor vs bandit trans am
The original Mad Max car was a Real XB GT Falcon Coupe and now lives in Florida USA at the Dezer Auto Museum

The red & blue lights spinny-spin but they don't blinky-blink. ;-)
The V-8 intercepter is such a bad ass vehicle.......I am also fan or the Holden Monero aka the US Pontiac GTO
didfferent to the 70s monaro
Chief Fefe wasnt growing weed plants.
He was giving em back to the heros!
He said potted plants, not pot plants... As in house plants (office plants?).

Who would walk into a cinema in an all in one leathers ,Boots and mirror shades to see Mad Max oh that would be me lol
The description of the Police Chief!
🤣
Awesome ! 😎👍
The car Max start driving in the film was an Interceptor.
The car Max finish driving in the film was a V8 Special Pursuit, not an Interceptor.

U can shut the gate on this one Maxy it's the ducks guts!!!
