Bonus Bonus Fact: At 4:56 the front of the truck was covered with a steel plate which was painted to look like the front of the truck, as the owner didn't want his truck damaged in the crash. Mad Max fans would already know this.
As an American kid, I was blown away by this movie. In America cops wear blue, police cars are black and white and the sirens sound different. Who are these guys in black leather driving screaming yellow cars. It was awesome to me!🤯
The accessorys like pipes and fairings were provided by the company " la Parisian " owned and run by bertrand cadart.. the bikes were nearl all brand new z1000s provided on loan by kawasaki aust.. who were not at all happy with what remained of them at end of filming
i know a bloke that was a extra its their own bikes they all showed up with polished bikes so the producer had them sprayed with water then dust to make them look like they had been in the desert P/S the extras where payed $ 80 a day not including food or accommodation the caravan that gets destroyed was the last scene filmed as it was their tea room while filming my missus old man owned the tow trucks i was told Mel Gibson didn't even have a drivers license
I bought a bootleg tape to get the original dialogue. The ca. 2000 rerelease DVD in the USA finally featured the original version and the dub. Great movie.
as a high schooler I saw this in 1980 at the drive in. Yep drive in. funny thing was the talking was dubbed but the actors were speaking English I thought , where was this, Iowa, Kansas WTF ? finally caught this movie with the Aussie dialect years later. and I understood every word.

@@PhantomFilmAustralia I heard it the rig was hired, so hence the fake front
One of my all time favorite films!

The fact they didn't think Americans would understand people speaking English is very telling.
Nice video. A totally iconic film that is worth watching over and over again.
The biggest twist is that George Miller also wrote and directed Babe and Babe 2 Pig in the City.
I honestly had no idea that he was an MD!
All the bikes are the nearly the same make and model, they just changed the colour and added fairings, windshields etc.
They're all z1000 kawasaski's,great bikes for the times.
Last of the great Kawasaki Z900$😊
No there not watch it again

All three are great but one and two are gold.
I dont consider the new crap as M.M
I remember seeing an ad in the paper for this film. But I caught it years later on HBO.
The clip of Gibson with a swollen eye is from Road Warrior, not from an audition after a bar fight
Actually, Kawasaki's were used in Stone, in 1974, they may have donated them for Max but werent unknown in Australia
i was racing Kawasaki dirt bike in the early 70s here in the states back when they still used steel tanks and fenders
Yeah, I knew them as Quackers as a kid (born 1970).

Gundaleney wants his hand back 👍🇦🇺
Worked with Paul Larson for a few years in the building game funny big bastard. The master blaster
Kawasaki weren't unknown in 1979, they had already made some classic bikes, including the z900 and z1
They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well damn them! You and me, Max, we're gonna give them back their heroes!

If you think about it, that was quite a slur against your intelligence by the film studio! I'm glad you enjoyed the Aussie language version though!
Wow Americans are pretty thick so it was probably a good move to dubthe Australian accents
Mel Gibson actually ate the dog food .
Wrong movie.
but still dog food...
Oh that’s right in the second picture hey 👋 guys.
That's why MEL refused to do MAD MAX 4. Someone told him the fake dog food in Mad Max 2 was real. To lower production costs.
MEL GIBSON moved to America because people in Australia were calling him pal, like PAL dog food.
You could also have pointed out that Mel Gibson is not Australian, having been born in New York.
The yanks dubbed ' superr hott' over ' 'very toey ' .
Sooo good 😊
That’s wrong on the uniform. The Goose had the only real leather.
Kawasaki's were not popular in the USA in the seventies but in Europe they were the in the top 4 The Z900 was the bike to have BEFORE mad max
