@maujo2009 - the Knight Riders (stolen) pursuit special was a Holden Monaro. Max's car in this scene is a XB Ford Falcon coupe, and the other police cars are all XB falcon sedans.
@wavecentral Actually one is a XA Falcon & at the accident scene I think Max's boss with the bald head is driving a Impala or Fairlane not sure from memory.
The original soundtrack is better than the American accent version. The car is an Australian Ford Falcon. Ford North America dropped the Falcon nameplate in 1970, but Ford Oz continued with a home grown version, the Falcon nameplate is still produced to this day in Oz. BTW, in this version, you can hear the blower belt whine....edited out of the US version.
@maujo2009 The Knight rider was the first criminal killed in the film, well him and his skag girlfriend. They where in the stolen 'persuit special' in the first scene.
@saffcos4x4 I know, but if you compare his Pursuit Special with the Last of the V8s (from this scene) you'll notice they look very similar, so I always wondered if they were actually the same car but Goose & Garry fixed it.
"Kick it in the guts Barry!" Classic - my mate Seany and I were saying this all around California with our Aussie accents when we were driving a black Mustang around the place, and the Americans had no idea what planet we were from haha...
hahaha, it is kinda hard at times to understand what theyre saying, but i like the authenticity. i guess im one of the few americans who appreciates culture.
@kuhndog52 You could never substitue an American muscle car for an Australian Car in any Mad Max movie. The XB Falcon may resemble a Mustang in a basic way, but there are huge differences. It would be like doing another version of Gone in 60 Seconds with something Other than a Mustang in the final chase scenes. It would piss everybody off
@magnaklaas You can still buy the orginial Australian versions of all the movies on DVD. Unsure about NTSC version, but I know that there are lots of retailers that can source it for you
Ah, romance! not just hear a a growl, but a genuine whistle from a Shrrock supercharger. (I spelled that wrong but does it matter with a keyboard, pint and a takeaway in a battle for a laugh?)
I can't remember the name of it, but there's an arm that connects to the carburetor that controls the input of gas and if you pull it in the other direction it stops the flow of gas, thus shutting off the car. I used to do that on my old Nova.
Its not too hard to see this amazing machine from the point of view when the movie was made in 1979...in the future, which the movie depicts, twin overhead cams and an on/off blower are very possible...600hp through the wheels, simply awsome!!
I love it when the mechanic said phase 4 heads! thats really got my attention! Phase4 heads if you dont know are very rare xa gtho phase4! 4 cars where ever made with special valves,ports and chambers .the only down side is the cars wernt that quick off the mark,but had massive top speeds
Notice the yellow bucket stuffid under engine? this was hiding the electric motor which ran the simulated blower awesome movie i wish i could get a copy of this original Aus soundtrack instead of dubbed Usa version we get here..
@Jhiaxhus your right. He was an idiot. As an American, myself and most Americans like Australian acents. Hell, it was the Australian acents that made Mad Max unique, different and even scary.
i had the silly dubbed version (stupid yanks)
then got the original....wow what a difference
