OT: MadMax

Ok, So I was watching the original MadMax on my DVD player last night (wide screen baby). Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew what type of car the intial "cop" cars are in the first several scenes and then what MadMax is driving at the end. Obviously all are custom to the hilt, but what are the base cars? Thanks.

I thought they were all AMC's? At least that is what I remember. Mad Max's car is a Javalin or an AMX I think.

: I thought they were all AMC's? : At least that is what I remember. : Mad Max's car is a Javalin or an AMX I think. A misconception from the American audience. They were Falcons. Trivia fact - the original release of Mad Max in America was *dubbed* because the distributor didn't think the Americans would understand Mel's dialect. Stephen

Australian V8 Ford "Falcon", with some cosmetic additions. (The car driven by Max is now in Britain).

A bit fuzzy on this, it's been a while, but weren't a lot of the cars based on Holdens? Zog

Yeah, I got the widescreen DVD version of it. And you CAN easily tell its not Mel. I'd love to get a copy of the australian MadMax and RoadWarrior DVDs....

On the topic of Mad Max, you guys HAVE tried PowerSlide, haven't you? If not, you're definitely missing out. You can download the demo at: http://www.ratbaggames.com/ FWIW, I think PowerSlide is currently my favorite driving sim, in fact -- SCGT and Viper Racing have certainly taken a back seat, and my seat time in GPL is suffering too. And I only have the demo, so far!

Quite possibly (and extremely probable!), Doug. Sorry....I thought he was referring to Max's car....which is a Falcon. > A bit fuzzy on this, it's been a while, but weren't a lot of the cars based on
