Great work on the 3D rendering. Really showcases the Interceptor, and tells its story. I sure hope they bring it back for Fury Road and keep it the same style.
You had such a beautiful 351 Wayne! It must have just hummed on the highway! Too bad it was stolen =/ And great job on the animation! I liked how you showed it step by step starting with the base falcon!
I saw the three MAD MAX movies, and in the first two the vehicles got my atention, but the last V8 Interceptor... I just couldn´t get my eyes off it. I really really love that car.
Great video. Loved it. Now if someone could only explain to me why movie directors are in such a rush to destroy this car in every freaking movie!!!!!! Who wants to see that?
+Vince Almaraz I know, it's painful to watch. I find it a bit funny though. In the new movie you see him with it, and it's pretty much duck taped together. Then it gets smashed, then the war boys fix it up REAL nice, then they blow it up again. I wonder where it's gonna end up next.
Now this is my personal opinion but I believe it to be a valid one, the only reason the intereceptor was featured in the new movie was to familiarize the audience with Max with his car but also the symbolic meaning behind the car, the interceptor isn't a car, it's a memory that represents the only thing Max has left to connect him back to his previous life. Unfortunetly, the interceptor always had to be destroyed in any outcome, just like it does in fury road and just like it did in the road warrior.
The paint scheme was described as "Black on Black" by the movie’s art director, Jon Dowding. Ray interpreted it as gloss and matte black similar to the factory XB GT design, differing only in swooping up from the rear wheel arch to follow the line of the rear spoiler. The paint was done by Rob Smythe, Beckerley's friend from a former place of employment. The Pursuit Special from the Mad Max franchise features a black-on-black paint scheme that's both menacing and stylish. The main colors are: Deep Glossy Black: The primary body color. Matte Black: Used for certain accents and details. This combination gives the car its iconic, powerful appearance.
Hmmm...it's my dream car. Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. These are my father favorite movies. Before he passsd away, we talked about this car & have the first design from the 1st film. We kept playing the lottery, in so if i ever win the lottery. This is the 1st of many things to buy on my list to get.
@@WayneDowsent thx wayne, he would be so glad to see me driving it from heaven. Plus have tunes be played on the stereo, tracks from the movie. As if we're cruising the road, the highways & hearing the engine growl.
Nice and informative. I loved that car! Took my girl friend to see the movie The Road Warrior and then went back the next night with my friends and watched it again! Plus I'm a Ford guy.
When I still worked at Ford in Cleveland,I worked on the Australian 302's for the Falcons down there. By that time,the 351C was long gone,late 70's. But they still had Holley 4BBL's. I still think about wanting to convert my Mustang CobraII to the interceptor...a little chopping,sectioning & molding of the unique parts would be pretty easy.
Maybe they built them down under a bit longer,but not in Cleveland. But you could put 351C heads on a 302 with pop up pistons & get what we called a "boneyard Boss" 302. It was in Ford's "Off The Highway Engines".
Great art work Wayne. and all about one of favorite all time movies. And in my humble opinion, still the champion of badass movie cars. I own an 06 Mustang GT, about the closest I'll get to that beauty of a beast. But, if I have a couple a drinks, and squint my eyes, I can fool myself for a sec. lol Thanks Wayne.
It'd be interesting to know how much the car was sold for and then bought back for. I know that after the second film the car was left in a wreckers and then purchased by a bloke who restored it...I remember seeing it at a shopping centre car show!!...I'm talking years ago!!! Thanks for watching!
No problem mate, i look forward to following your future posts! You seem like a reasonable fellow and you surely do post quite the astonishing artwork if i do say so myself! - Take care.
Hopefully max finds the Razor cola (It was crushed but who cares, max fixed it before he can do it again) and then revives it with black tar paint and gets the twin fuel tanks back.
I have a 1/24th scale model of this beast sitting next to my pc, owned it ten years, finally got round to building it, painted it using an air brush, gave it that lived in look, dusted in filth !
Thanks Dragon!...and yes, the car went great guns!! In the early 90's a mate and I re-built the engine...I had a well paying job at the time...spent 5K just on parts!...he was an apprentice mechanic...the 351 we built was a real ball tearer!! I guess that's why some dirt bag stole it! When it was stolen the car had an XC front end on it and was spayed matt black!...very post apocalyptic indeed!!!!
This car is as loved in 'Murica as it is in Australia. Few people here knew the exacts details of it for many years due to it being based off an Aussie only model.
No.... wrong, if you want a close car to the Falcon, get a Ford Torino (Its backside is slightly longer than the torino) but the rest is almost exactly the same.
I still remember when I was a little kid. My mom's landlord on the movie theater.. I would do some cleanup and then I get to watch free movies in the first movie I saw was mad Max I watched like 5 times in a row.. I probably watched it a couple hundred more times..
My theory for the wheel change in the second film was because they built a second car for Road Warrior and for one reason or another they couldn't get ahold of another set of matching rims for the new car, so they just put 2 from each set on the cars so they would match.
Nice CGI showing the evolution of the car! When I was old enough to drive, here in the states, the first car I investigated, with the potential of buying, was whatever Mel Gibson drove in the Mad Max movies. After finding out it was an Australian Ford Falcon, I selected a 71 Dodge Challenger instead. Oddly enough, I did not see the movie "Vanishing Point" until two years after I bought the Challenger. I chose the Challenger based its looks, and had never seen one in a movie before owning mine.
Very Accurate! Great work, but I noticed you did not go into to much detail on the Weiend Blower/supercharger or the custom radio console. Again great Job!
Beautiful Machine man. Hate hear that it was stolen, I don't blame you at all for wanting to curse the guy. Well I just subscribe to you because I really enjoy the models and the animations you put together. Makes me want to watch the movie again.
Very good sir there is only one thing i would like to point out here though note the fuel tanks you have that is the tank from the fury road trailer stuffed into the boot, the road warrior tanks were both 150 imp gallon ex heavy truck tanks in aluminium and the bottoms of the tanks for that movie were even with the trunk lid latch and the tops were indeed just below the draft edge of the roof spoiler. go back and look at the movie again. other wise very good.
You missed the first iteration, which was the one stolen by the night rider. This didn't have the front, or the larger spoilers, or the turbocharger. It was fixed up after that, and shown when Goose brings in Max to show him that the mechanic has been doing it "you know a p-p-p-p-p-piece from here, an' a p-p-p-piece from there".
one thing the car was a pursuit special and not referred to an interceptor till the second film the yellow XB was an interceptor and the yellow XA was to along with one other XB that was a pursuit vehicle. The HQ coupe in the movie also was a pursuit special
Hi Wayne If you would like to know some more history on the real Interceptor in the movie. My mate Bob was the original owner of the Falcon used in the movie. He built the car before the movie was produced as is. He was an engineer by trade and believe it or not a police officer in the NSW Police. The car was built to drag race at Castlereagh Drags back in the 70/80s. The producers saw the car being race at the drags and approached Bob and purchased it for I think $40000. If I recall Bod was also in evolved in the making of many vehicles in the original move. He also did some motor bike stunts. He was a very talented man and an unbelievably good driver. He also told me that they blew the bottom end of the motor out in one of the first runs in the movie by hitting the nitro at to lower revs and had to rebuild the motor. The car was originally built to the specs in the movie when first raced including the nose cone and spoilers.
G'day mate! I'd love to know more about the history of the car!! Would your mate Bob have photos? I'd love to see everything! Message me at info@waynedowsent.com.au Cheers!
Hi Wayne I haven't seen Bob for years and he may have moved away. I will try and contact him if I get a positive result I will get him to email you. Ray
I took a few photos of the car in 83 . It was at a wreakers in iron bank in Adelaide hills . Was for sale for 2500 dollars what a bargain 2 Holly's sitting under the super charger shell. Very sneeky
That'd mean two wheels would have been for the front, which wouldn't be wide enough. Sunraysia wheels are pretty common here. It's a bit of a mystery really!
AWESOME JOB !! I really like this video and of course the wonderful Interceptor. As some other mates wrote before , why did they have to ruin that car each time it appears on a film? I hope that one day you could find the guy who stole your XB on a lonely and dark alley, with no witnesses in sight...
"He told me he wanted the black car to look evil, it had to look different; and [the paint finish] had to be both gloss black and matte black. And that was about the extent of the brief' - Ray Beckerley
KnightRiderDDR Yes that was my only problem with the movie! The Interceptor is an icon! It's such a big part of the Mad Max story I can't believe they destroyed it...twice!!
Hiya Wayne.Love clips like this on youtube their most interesting and detailed. When you were comparing the two car from mad max 1 and mad max 2, I think the supercharger scoop on top slightly changed shape from the first film to the second. Not 100% but can you take a look to see if i'm right.
Best movie car ever. No competition.
I'm with you there!!
And motorcycle movie
Mad max 1979 best one
Mad max 1979 best one
Maybe DMC-12
Great work on the 3D rendering. Really showcases the Interceptor, and tells its story. I sure hope they bring it back for Fury Road and keep it the same style.
I come from the future, they did. But the car got wrecked 2 minutes into the movie lol.

Major disappointment that this showed up in fury road for about 3 minutes and had no role at all in Beyond Thunderdome
Sean Snow I totally agree with you there mate!!!
Well said, madmax 1-2 class movies, the rest is shite.
It was blown up in the 2nd one, so it wasn't in the 3rd one
@@ArmyGuyDan However if you examine the vehicle he has in Thunderdome, you can see the cab is from a Falcon.
@@DVincentW that's because Max was collecting parts to rebuild his beloved pursuit special
I loved how the car looked in both films! I've always been a big fan of the Falcon Coupe!!
Wow! Thanks for such an in depth, detailed analysis. You really covered it all. Spoken at a level that even an average guy like me can understand too!
Great video. Loved it. Now if someone could only explain to me why movie directors are in such a rush to destroy this car in every freaking movie!!!!!! Who wants to see that?

when i win the lottery i will buy this car

Thanks for the info mate!!👍🤩👍
Wayne, thanks for such a great video. I have always adored this car; such a stylish beast if ever there was one !!!
Awesome art review . I got to admit I love the Aussie Falcon , and yeah the first two MAD MAX films were fantastic , great job mate !
