I remember reading that Max's dog was a stray they found that was super easy to train so they didn't have to spring for some 'actor' dog, and then one of the crew took him home forever. Best dog ever!
It was actually Mr. Mel Gibson that took him home himself. He named him Hudson. He was 3 years at the time of filming. He was 18 when he passed if I read and recollect correctly. Hudson was shown in more movies after Mad Max 2: Fury Road. In the first Mad Max, the Golden Retriever was also a stray dog that was quite hilariously and ironically named by Mel "Goldy. Goldy was 5 years old when in the first Mad Max. He lived to be 15. Mel adopted and cared for both. Mel was a dog sanctuary caretaker. Fun fact: He absolutely grew attached to Hudson during filming that in the first week, him and Hudson only followed each other around set in between filming.

@@govetter ...except that that blower wasn't even hooked up to the engine, and the Red button turned an electric motor on and off, instead of controlling a blower clutch. A shame, that.
@@govetter there is a company in the U.S. which imports Falcon XB jalopies from Australia, and turns them into Interceptors, and one of the options is to actually make the blower fully functional, I know - I asked.
The first movie was just a dystopian future Australia with roving criminal gangs taking over and the police unable to stop them. The 2nd and subsequent films moved the timeline forward to after the fall of society in a "wasteland"
As mediumvillain said, the first Mad Max movie is set during the last stages of the collapse of society, so roads, infrastructure, even the police force, are all still around, albeit barely. But Mad Max 2 is set more than ten years later, in a world without law and order, and by the time you get to Thunderdome it's just complete wasteland chaos. I don't know if Fury Road is in this timeline, I don't think it is personally, but if it is then that's the ultimate wasteland, I mean, like decades upon decades after the collapse of civilisation, where the oceans have dried up and the infrastructure has been buried under sand dunes. In Mad Max: The Game (an awesome game by the way) it's implied that civilisation actually collapsed sometime in the 2000s, with photographs of cars from the 1990s. If this is true, then Mad Max: Fury Road and Mad Max: The Game exist in their own seperate timeline. Anyway, yeah, nah, the original three movies are the three stages of societal collapse.
@@a.m11558 After adjusting the timeline in the tie-in comics, Fury Road does take place after Beyond Thunderdome, and the game is "non-canon" to the film timeline. As for the Furiosa prequel that's under development, we'll have to see how far back it takes place.
I love how in the scene where max gets shot in the leg the police radio actually talks about his car and how its been located it's overshadowed by the music but you can clearly hear the dispatch operator talking about what he did on the bridge with the car clearly showing that he's being chased by the cops because of him stealing the car but can't find him because he's always one step ahead of them
that car was personification of Max's madness and revenge. Seeing it crashed on the beginning of second movie broke my heart. well you can always return back to the first one...
I always thought the interceptor got a bad deal on the 2nd movie and fury road. If max is the MFP's top patrol driver why can't he do some evasive driving thus saving his car?
Rest In peace Mr Grant Page. The stuntman in all the scenes that made this movie great has just passed away. Australian Icon. Thanks buddy for so many iconic memories.

@0:08-1:30 The precise moment Max's soul is sucked into the supercharger, and bound to the souls of thousands upon thousands of vengeful innocent souls taken before their time,wailing from the Wastelands and beyond the grave, thus binding him forever to his one true soulmate.
This is by far the best car MOVIE EVER the reason I bought a vehicle with a roots style blower is because of this movie!!! Every one needs to see the original MAD MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It used to piss me off so much that in both Road Warrior and Fury Road they destroy the Interceptor, the very ride of Max himself. It was such a cool car and I always thought (and still do, to a degree) that he should have been allowed to keep it all throughout one or both of those movies, sort of like how the hero gunslinger always has his black steed. However, then I started thinking from a storyteller's perspective, and it actually made more sense. The story wants Max to interact with other people, have a chance to bond and form various relationships, some good, some bad, but above all else, he can not be allowed to remain a loner. If that happened the story would go nowhere. And the Interceptor is the one thing that allows Max to drive away from people, to remove himself from the story and just remain an outcast with nothing and no one to interact with. So from the narrative point of view, I understand perfectly why it has to be done. But it still hurts when that machine is trashed... every. single. time.

I grew up seeing lots of iconic movie cars. Smokey and the Bandit, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider and more. Although in my humble opinion nothing holds a fuel injector to the black on black, blown, monza-d interceptor.

Yeah, there is something about high speed gritty car chases that bleeds dopamine into my brain. Not shitty, really over the top ones, but ones like these. All the mad max movies have wicked car action.
Was most profitable move for 20 years until the Blair Witch Project. Love the movie since I was a kid when it came out. The fake blower always bothered me though.
2020 and I still feel the need to look up the V8 Interceptor. These movies were my childhood. Real stunts real speeds (sped up in places I know) real danger, the tumbling stuntman getting a bike around the back of the head is testament to that. Awesome films 👍
@@MrCouchmen this sounds like a lot of characters LMAO. Imagine a whole team consisting of Kratos, mad Max, John Wick, punisher, ghost Rider, the crow.
Used to own one of these cars. It was a factory ordered 1974 Ford Falcon XB Fairmont coupe, 351 GS(grand sports) 3 speed auto. Blue in colour with white interior, blue cloth seat inserts and a sunroof. Awesome car but used to get pretty car sick in the back seat. Sold it for $2800 in '79. On a sad note, it got flattened a few months later by a semi-trailer in Cooma. Would have been worth about $80-100k now.
Less than 15 minutes of screen time and this car manage to get into every heart of each mad max interceptor fan. Part of me wishes that the interceptor wasn't wrecked :( At least we got it to see it a little bit un fury road. Thanks for this video :D
All fast and furious combined..... Not even close to the pure adrenaline on this movie, no CGI, NO BS, ... first time i saw these movies.... mind blowing. The V8, the crew, the production, master mind George Miller and legend Mel Gibson.... best movies ever!!!
The V8 Interceptor in Mad Max 1 and Mad Max 2 was a XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe (JG66) The one they Destroyed in Mad Max 2 was a Standard XB Ford Falcon Coupe tricked up to look like the V8 Interceptor and was used for all the Stunt Work in Mad Max 2 and the Original Car was used for close ups in Mad Max 2. XB GT Ford Falcon Coupes are a Muscle Car in Australia and are a rare car alone, so for the V8 Interceptor to be a GT Falcon Coupe it just add to the value.
@@sethdover4999sorry the Ford Torino is the US Cousin. The falcon by that stage was well and truly engineered and designed in Australia. Did share some of the global parts bin as in the gearbox etc but these are not Torinos with lipstick
For movie buffs and people who like R&B. The first Mad Max was mostly filmed in and around a township called little river 40 minutes outside Melbourne Australia. The Australian band Little river named themselves after passing a road sign indicating the same little river township.
i was blessed to be an oil changer and part holder for a high performance marine shop in my youth. everytime they test ran a 1000hp super charged v8 this ran through my head.
I love how all the madmax films have a mix of straight dialogue and quirky character traits along with straight to the point characterizations that put all the characters but max into the comfortable borderline between realistic and camp making Maxs' low key straight man characterization very grounded. All the films seem to be like that. Toecutter, humongous, master blaster, almost everybody in fury road they all have the feel of like a pirates of the Caribbean Disney ride. They are all uniquely quirky while also being able to communicate to the audience exactly what they are about in a glance or a single line of dialogue. There just is no movie series that pulls it off like Mad Max.
The original Australian cult classic, one of the most awesome movies ever made. The Interceptor was a true hot rod. No one knows how to pound out the hot rods of the world like us and the Aussies.
Yeh my dad has one of those Chevy Caprice old cop cars that’s just a rebadged Holden. I drove that thing while my car was in the shop without realizing how much power it had and needless to say it’s terrifying compared to my Honda Civic lmao
Sou um brasileiro com mais de 45 anos, esse filme fez parte da minha adolescência e até hoje assisto, agora acompanhado de meus filhos. Posso dizer que até hoje só tive carros com motores potentes pela a influência que esse filme e o interceptor teve em minha vida.
0:26 MUSIC TO MY EARS ! ! ! THE SOUND OF THAT SUPERCHARGED V8 NITRO-INJECTED ENGINE WHEN IT STARTS UP ! ! ! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUND THAT IS ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
When GTA came out with the Arena Wars DLC, and there was a car based on Max's Interceptor. You're damn right I bought the thing and made the car look exactly like his Interceptor. A truly beautiful iconic movie car.
Mad Max 1 is all time classic, & I bought myself a beautiful 1;18 scale model of the MM XB interceptor for christmas last year, it takes pride of place next to K.I.T.T of course!
Tommy Orr Jr ..it’s actually made by ‘Greenlight’ they make it in at least 3 sizes. Good value for money and a nice replica of the car! KITT is a Hot wheels, that’s a pretty nice one too, wasn’t too expensive either. Probably should mention I have all 3 Back to the Future DeLoreabs too! That aside, today I got to see real size Mad Max cars at the SupaNova comic con event in Melbourne today. They had the yellow pursuit cars and of course the big bad black interceptor😁
@@KnightIndustries572 Yeah the hotwheels Kitt is probably the best 1/18 replica. I know there is 2 of them, cant remember who makes the other.There is a side by side comparison somewhere on youtube
Whenever I can't sleep at night I just put on the relaxing sounds of the interceptor's engine. It's roar and the supercharger whine just send me right to sleep, it is so soothing.
Nice Car Black w/Black Int.1973 Ford Falcon XB with A 351 C and Dual Overhead Cams 600 HP at the Rear Wheels ! Piece Here A Piece There ! love Mad Max and Mad Max II !
Alden R. Davis it was innovative, but the base of the vehicles in Mad Max were American. The Interceptor was the Aussie version of a Ford Galaxy, same chassis.
@@nermin9376 yeah lol, just in the news last week..I could be wrong about the 2mill, but thats what I heard..just tried looking again but can only find the article about it being auctioned

Definitely about the coolest car in any movie, and the simple visualizations and cinematography were pure genius. The remake "fury road" was total sacrilege to even try to relate it to the originals.
I thought Fury road was great (in my opinion). It was a film full of chases like Road warrior but the world is much more deadly which is why everything goes so much faster
This movie had style right down to the super charger intake scoop, never saw one like before or since. Miller proved he knew how to make the best use of the vehicles as integral to the story and not just window dressing.
2:26 - Loved the presumably unintentional yet genuine "beep beep beep" horn sound as the bike crashed with the left side of the handlebar hitting the dirt which made sense.
The Interceptor is a proper character in the story. You literally hear it breathing. It's not Mel Gibson that makes your heart race, it's the car. You even mourn its loss.
The sound when the blowers start and the V8 's 600 horsepower come to life sends shivers down my spine - from the first view in the 80ies till today. I love this car like no other - and Mad Max is the only normal guy in the whole series. And I love Goose and for sure the dog!
You probably meant Pursuit Special (black one), which was '73 Ford Falcon XB GT, Interceptor (Max's first car) was 1974 Ford Falcon XB Sedan, ex Victoria Police Interceptor.
@@milllosh Yeah but try telling that to everyone these days..Its basically been renamed the interceptor just as Aussies cant grab the Moll/Mole difference either so they rewrote that.
@@Tommyblueeyes Well, I wouldn't blame Australians for renaming the Pursuit Special to Interceptor, I think it was just easier for worldwide public to remember and mention the car in a conversation. Happens with a lot of things. But then who knows, I am calling it Pursuit Special as it was meant to be and I gave up on any explanation, the previous comment was just to clarify, in case someone reads boutch71's comment and starts googling the car.
Let's not forget to Thank the brave and courageous road construction crew of that dreadful wasteland era for without their contribution Mad Max would not be possible. *crowd goes wild!!!*
My tour of duty as a law enforcement officer on patrol, now a detective, the many pursuits I've been involved in, mad max pursuit scenes takes me back chasing after criminals, high speed adrenaline, my police unit chevrolet caprice I dubbed "interceptor" was amazing, i loved those pursuits!! Thank you mad max I lived it!!
all due respect. Don't anyone compare this Australian cinematic genius to Hollywood. Hollywood has lost its flair. They do nothing but re-runs. Hollywood is a has-been. NEXT!
I agree ! In fact i always liked and thought Australia made better movies especially in the 70s -80s they might not had big well known actors but their acting and storylines were much better and more down to earth than Hollywood which has always been overrated .
Have always loved the mad max movies. If i win a huge lottery i want to get the 1973 Ford Falcon GT 351 from Australia and the mad max body kit so i can have my own mad max pusuit special
Ian Murray I am just getting really into this, although seeing the movies a few times, but its got its hooks in me now. Where is this car now? I’d love to see it. I had no idea that was the same actor...love learning about these facts!! So is it safe to say that it’s possible he somehow got away from the explosion and survived, becoming I. Joe down the line?
Badass car. I been a fan of mad max movies all my life just for this car. This is the first fast and furious right here. I bet this car will blow the doors off those other movie cars.
Gotta hand it to the stuntmen in this movie. In the cut before he smacks the back of his head on the curb too... It's a wonder he didn't break his neck.
I always wondered about THAT GUY! BANG in tha CRANIUM! (even with the helmet, methinks neck issues?) ... My only OTHER thought about 'stunt-guys-demise', was after Iron Bar (in ThunderDome) swings his ass over the railway bridge a few times? INCOMING! lol

Henry Goater yeah. Only miller makes movies like this.
Yeah, there is something about high speed gritty car chases that bleeds dopamine into my brain. Not shitty, really over the top ones, but ones like these. All the mad max movies have wicked car action.
Was most profitable move for 20 years until the Blair Witch Project.
Love the movie since I was a kid when it came out. The fake blower always bothered me though.
@@The12thDimension. Fury road is bullshit and full of cgi
I remember playing Mad Max in my childhood. Along with Rambo and a few others
and James Bond and Dirty Harry
2020 and I still feel the need to look up the V8 Interceptor. These movies were my childhood. Real stunts real speeds (sped up in places I know) real danger, the tumbling stuntman getting a bike around the back of the head is testament to that. Awesome films 👍
Thank you, Australia for Mad Max!!!... they are grindhouse cult classics... some of the best action films of all time!!!!
When someone destroys your family so you decide to anihilate the entire universe
Sounds like Frank Castle.
Max wasn't Mad until....
What if Frank Castle joined Max?
@@MrCouchmen this sounds like a lot of characters LMAO. Imagine a whole team consisting of Kratos, mad Max, John Wick, punisher, ghost Rider, the crow.
@@stimswwolf7867 that.........FUUUUUUUUUCK I WANT TO SEE THAT !!!!!

I still have thus movies on dvd,DVD, will not get rid of them, they are one of my favorites of all time...
Those Aussie Crows... Remember THAT / those 'sonics'?
Brilliant cinematography. One of the best films ever 😊
Used to own one of these cars. It was a factory ordered 1974 Ford Falcon XB Fairmont coupe, 351 GS(grand sports) 3 speed auto. Blue in colour with white interior, blue cloth seat inserts and a sunroof. Awesome car but used to get pretty car sick in the back seat.
Sold it for $2800 in '79. On a sad note, it got flattened a few months later by a semi-trailer in Cooma. Would have been worth about $80-100k now.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
awesome mate 👌🏼
Tragic...
HA! My G8 sounds like that would be a Pontiac Red DOG!
Less than 15 minutes of screen time and this car manage to get into every heart of each mad max interceptor fan.
Part of me wishes that the interceptor wasn't wrecked :(
At least we got it to see it a little bit un fury road.
Thanks for this video :D
bro. they wrecked REPLICAS. they would never wreck the real one...
@@ajhendo still, those replicas are still insane :D I’d love to get my hands in one of those, lol
same.
I wanted a supercharger like this one.
I love this for many reasons, BUT... After the first few bits, there is absolutely NO dialogue! (Mostly) Perfect!
All fast and furious combined..... Not even close to the pure adrenaline on this movie, no CGI, NO BS, ... first time i saw these movies.... mind blowing. The V8, the crew, the production, master mind George Miller and legend Mel Gibson.... best movies ever!!!
This was brilliant! Thank you. Best car movie and actor Mel Gibson ever brought together by the grace of God!
The V8 Interceptor in Mad Max 1 and Mad Max 2 was a XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe (JG66) The one they Destroyed in Mad Max 2 was a Standard XB Ford Falcon Coupe tricked up to look like the V8 Interceptor and was used for all the Stunt Work in Mad Max 2 and the Original Car was used for close ups in Mad Max 2. XB GT Ford Falcon Coupes are a Muscle Car in Australia and are a rare car alone, so for the V8 Interceptor to be a GT Falcon Coupe it just add to the value.
It's an American Ford Torino platform, with different grill and tail light panel.
@@sethdover4999sorry the Ford Torino is the US Cousin.
The falcon by that stage was well and truly engineered and designed in Australia.
Did share some of the global parts bin as in the gearbox etc but these are not Torinos with lipstick
And the Road Warrior? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now... only in my memories.
A man reduced to a single instinct...Survive.
@@banff9858 More than that,but yeah.Yes.Brother.
yeah well
For movie buffs and people who like R&B. The first Mad Max was mostly filmed in and around a township called little river 40 minutes outside Melbourne Australia. The Australian band Little river named themselves after passing a road sign indicating the same little river township.
What? He went on to Thunderdome when 1 man and a retard gorilla entered and 1 man left.
The Mad Max Interceptor is the greatest vehicle on land..... The Millennium Falcon is the greatest vehicle in space..
Haha they are both Falcons
And only one is real.
BUT THE INTERCEPTOR SUCKS NITRO!

i was blessed to be an oil changer and part holder for a high performance marine shop in my youth. everytime they test ran a 1000hp super charged v8 this ran through my head.
Hey! Hold my Oil. I'll be right back!
An all time Aussie masterpiece.
I love how all the madmax films have a mix of straight dialogue and quirky character traits along with straight to the point characterizations that put all the characters but max into the comfortable borderline between realistic and camp making Maxs' low key straight man characterization very grounded. All the films seem to be like that. Toecutter, humongous, master blaster, almost everybody in fury road they all have the feel of like a pirates of the Caribbean Disney ride. They are all uniquely quirky while also being able to communicate to the audience exactly what they are about in a glance or a single line of dialogue. There just is no movie series that pulls it off like Mad Max.
The original Australian cult classic, one of the most awesome movies ever made. The Interceptor was a true hot rod. No one knows how to pound out the hot rods of the world like us and the Aussies.
Umm not a Hot rod at all, a muscle car
.
Love the beast ;)
Yeh my dad has one of those Chevy Caprice old cop cars that’s just a rebadged Holden. I drove that thing while my car was in the shop without realizing how much power it had and needless to say it’s terrifying compared to my Honda Civic lmao
uh, It was an Aussie Ford. I shake my head!
Definitely 1 of the greatest movie cars EVER & what an amazing sound
Great film.
max's car looks like a super machine.
max's car is so bad ass.
Sou um brasileiro com mais de 45 anos, esse filme fez parte da minha adolescência e até hoje assisto, agora acompanhado de meus filhos. Posso dizer que até hoje só tive carros com motores potentes pela a influência que esse filme e o interceptor teve em minha vida.

When GTA came out with the Arena Wars DLC, and there was a car based on Max's Interceptor. You're damn right I bought the thing and made the car look exactly like his Interceptor. A truly beautiful iconic movie car.

Mad Max 1 is all time classic, & I bought myself a beautiful 1;18 scale model of the MM XB interceptor for christmas last year, it takes pride of place next to K.I.T.T of course!
the autoart version? there is the version from the 1st movie now, its awesome..and thumbs up for KITT too!
Tommy Orr Jr ..it’s actually made by ‘Greenlight’ they make it in at least 3 sizes. Good value for money and a nice replica of the car! KITT is a Hot wheels, that’s a pretty nice one too, wasn’t too expensive either. Probably should mention I have all 3 Back to the Future DeLoreabs too! That aside, today I got to see real size Mad Max cars at the SupaNova comic con event in Melbourne today. They had the yellow pursuit cars and of course the big bad black interceptor😁
@@KnightIndustries572 Yeah the hotwheels Kitt is probably the best 1/18 replica. I know there is 2 of them, cant remember who makes the other.There is a side by side comparison somewhere on youtube
This car is a legend,rest in peace falcon...
Whenever I can't sleep at night I just put on the relaxing sounds of the interceptor's engine. It's roar and the supercharger whine just send me right to sleep, it is so soothing.
And then you wake up with a Cleveland rod hanging out your pillow after it detonates

The V8 Interceptor from Mad Max and Mad Max II: The Road Warrior is the best movie cars ever in Hollywood movie history.
It's not even Hollywood, it's Australian cinema.
Alden R. Davis it was innovative, but the base of the vehicles in Mad Max were American. The Interceptor was the Aussie version of a Ford Galaxy, same chassis.
Alden R. Davis thdhf
agreed. but I have to say the truck from the movie Duel is also badass

Definitely about the coolest car in any movie, and the simple visualizations and cinematography were pure genius. The remake "fury road" was total sacrilege to even try to relate it to the originals.
pcdubya agreed. Also the truck in the movie "Duel" had evil screen presence.
I thought Fury road was great (in my opinion). It was a film full of chases like Road warrior but the world is much more deadly which is why everything goes so much faster
Fury road is fantastic movie can’t deny it but yeah I would love one more cop like movie with max and the interceptor
watched the 4K version recently. the music is what stands out now, melodramatic orchestra for the win
Loved that car. I was so bummed when it got wrecked in 2. Poor dog too. :(
This movie had style right down to the super charger intake scoop, never saw one like before or since. Miller proved he knew how to make the best use of the vehicles as integral to the story and not just window dressing.
That opening scene in The Road Warrior is my favorite piece of cinema ever
GSD fan absolutely agree! Pure blood pumping heart racing, tears falling cinematic gold!
HP Lovecraft Too right!
Long before Vin Diesel and The fast and the Furious. There was a Mel Gibson and "Mad Max" Thanks for sharing..
2:26 - Loved the presumably unintentional yet genuine "beep beep beep" horn sound as the bike crashed with the left side of the handlebar hitting the dirt which made sense.

I've said it before, that Yellow dozer RIG that waved him around, shoulda been the RIG he snagged to haul the Tankah!! ... just sayin'.
The Interceptor is a proper character in the story. You literally hear it breathing. It's not Mel Gibson that makes your heart race, it's the car. You even mourn its loss.
@@WilliamEly True words,that car is my soul vehicle!
The sound when the blowers start and the V8 's 600 horsepower come to life sends shivers down my spine - from the first view in the 80ies till today. I love this car like no other - and Mad Max is the only normal guy in the whole series. And I love Goose and for sure the dog!
An absolute original that put Mel on the map,,, a master piece.. can watch it over and over..still intense
V8 Interceptor in fact "Ford Falcon XB Coupé 1973" Great car, Great Movie and Great actor Mel Gibson!
You probably meant Pursuit Special (black one), which was '73 Ford Falcon XB GT, Interceptor (Max's first car) was 1974 Ford Falcon XB Sedan, ex Victoria Police Interceptor.
@@milllosh Yeah but try telling that to everyone these days..Its basically been renamed the interceptor just as Aussies cant grab the Moll/Mole difference either so they rewrote that.
@@Tommyblueeyes Well, I wouldn't blame Australians for renaming the Pursuit Special to Interceptor, I think it was just easier for worldwide public to remember and mention the car in a conversation. Happens with a lot of things. But then who knows, I am calling it Pursuit Special as it was meant to be and I gave up on any explanation, the previous comment was just to clarify, in case someone reads boutch71's comment and starts googling the car.
My dad has a Ford xb coupe
That Interceptor is a character of its own
Let's not forget to Thank the brave and courageous road construction crew of that dreadful wasteland era for without their contribution Mad Max would not be possible. *crowd goes wild!!!*
Always good to see a vintage video with old timey motor bikes and and the last of the "AMC V-8's" I would take the ride any day over a Tesla!!

all due respect. Don't anyone compare this Australian cinematic genius to Hollywood. Hollywood has lost its flair. They do nothing but re-runs. Hollywood is a has-been. NEXT!
Are you talking about Fury road?
I agree !
In fact i always liked and thought Australia made better movies especially in the 70s -80s they might not had big well known actors but their acting and storylines were much better and more down to earth than Hollywood which has always been overrated .
The costumes were more realistic,Hollywood movies like this had them looking to jazzy and not earthy downtrodded
