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!

His wife and kid dead, he still sounds the horn to thank the low loader for waving him past... legend

As an Australian who didn’t grow up with mad max, I had no idea this was considered a wasteland setting. This just looks like Australia to me lol

Saddest movie death of an inanimate object until Wilson the volleyball.

I'M A 56 YEAR OLD AMERICAN MALE AND WE LOVED THE MAD MAX SERIES BACK IN THE DAY AND STILL DO, CHEERS TO AUSTRALIA FROM AMERICA, GREAT MEMORIES AND A CLASSIC!!!🇺🇲🇦🇺🎉👍🏻

0:56 You know you're a car enthusiast when that blower whine gives you goose bumps. God i love this car.

@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.

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

Still one of my favourite films of all time. Beautiful sounding motor. Never tire of the original Mad Max.

As a child of the 80's, I always shed a manly tear when the Interceptor explodes and when Spock dies.

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...

Hopefully GM makes at least one more movie centered on Max and the Interceptor. It was pretty much forgotten in Fury Road. Would be awesome if he would bring back old Mel to play Max one last time.

Girlfriend or Interceptor? Guess I'll be single for the rest of my life.

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.

The stunt rider with the red helmet on that bridge is an absolute madman. He took two HUGE hits to the head! No CGI just pure balls.

It's wild how the bumper survived all the way through the apocalypse until the opening scene of the sequel.

4:56 regardless if it is a motorcycle or car. Nothing in the World is as sweet as having a perfectly tuned machine flying down the road at incredible speeds. That mechanic might be goofy as Hell, but he had that car dialed in right that day!

When someone destroys your family so you decide to anihilate the entire universe

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.

I love the sound the supercharger makes when he activates it

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.

"A piece from here and a piece there" Without a doubt THE nastiest automobile to hit the screen, Raw power! Awesome car, Awesome movie!

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 👍

I remember playing Mad Max in my childhood. Along with Rambo and a few others

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 always gets my blood pumping watching these clips...they don't make movies like this anymore that's for sure

Obra maestra del señor Gibson , mejor actor y director de la historia

An all time Aussie masterpiece.

Driving around all sweaty, angry and strung out. That takes me back

And the Road Warrior? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now... only in my memories.

Quando il film è uscito in Italia, con gli amici l'abbiamo visto 3 proiezioni di seguito. Spettacolo delle 16,00 delle 18,15 e delke 20,30. Avevamo 19 anni. Un capolavoro assoluto. Grande Max

Brilliant filmography. 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.

watched the 4K version recently. the music is what stands out now, melodramatic orchestra for the win

I just LOVE that this has Minimal Dialogue & Maximum SFX!

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 Mad Max Interceptor is the greatest vehicle on land..... The Millennium Falcon is the greatest vehicle in space..

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.

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.

1:36 that shot when he fades away looks so symbolic, the moment Max becomes The Interceptor

The transition from Mad Max to The Road Warrior put a big smile on my face. Thanks!

The V8 Interceptor from Mad Max and Mad Max II: The Road Warrior is the best movie cars ever in Hollywood movie history.

And to think I had one of those xb falcons in the late 70s early 80s. Remember going to the movie theatre to see Max for the first time.

This film never gets old, watched it a couple of days ago. Max is the example of a legend

"It's a Police Interceptor. One of last of the V8s..."

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 still have thus movies on dvd,DVD, will not get rid of them, they are one of my favorites of all time...

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.

9:28 only the beasts of 70's can do the reversal full thrust while moving forward!! Raw power indeed

V8 Interceptor in fact "Ford Falcon XB Coupé 1973" Great car, Great Movie and Great actor Mel Gibson!

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!!!

An absolute original that put Mel on the map,,, a master piece.. can watch it over and over..still intense

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.

This car is a legend,rest in peace falcon...

It has to be THE best low budget film in existence.

I was 14, I saw it 1982 at cinema it rocked my world. I still say to this day when its time to go home. " you wanna get out of here, talk to me "

Thank you, Australia for Mad Max!!!... they are grindhouse cult classics... some of the best action films of all time!!!!

Mad Max and V8 Interceptor, two legends on the road

Love that frame of the marauders eyes....right before impact !!..his eyes so unbelievin before hes squashed like a common bug

When men acted like real men. Damn I miss the 80s.

I lived near the area Mad Max was filmed, and drove around the streets seeing all the tyre marks. And when you see the actual distance those cars had to get up to speed...WOW!!!

This is the first movie I have seen in the cinema, and for this, I love speed, engines and gasoline; of course, this influenced me so much.

Definitely 1 of the greatest movie cars EVER & what an amazing sound

MY FAVORITE MOVIE CAR FOREVER!

The black on black is a great war machine that is it it's almost a grim reaper of the wasteland

This car is awesome.This is my favorite car of them all. No joking. I found it iconic from the first scene it was introduced

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 ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

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!

Been watching this movie around 4 times a year since I was 15. I'm 52 now it's the best. All be watching it on my death bed most likely

One of the greatest movies of all times that motorcycle was about a mile away and he still caught up to him unbelievable mind-boggling unreal

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.

This was brilliant! Thank you. Best car movie and actor Mel Gibson ever brought together by the grace of God!

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.

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

Mad Max and The Road Warrior are the best!

That Interceptor is a character of its own

Great film. max's car looks like a super machine. max's car is so bad ass.

“When do we go for a ride…”

Most legendary car to ever exist. Kit and The General, sorry, but you gotta take the backseat. Just the sound of that engine and the blower get my adrenaline going.

That opening scene in The Road Warrior is my favorite piece of cinema ever

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!

Heh- love when Max gets introduced to the Interceptor, standing utterly transfixed from 0:39 onward, because the stuntman who drove the thing said at a screening I attended that that was his reaction when they showed it to him! (O_O) George Miller's known for expecting props to work so it wasn't just built for show. "Shut the gate on this one, Maxie, it's the duck's guts!"

Only car guys understand

My parents let me watch this as a kid, on repeat. All my gijoe vehicles perished in the great road chase

3:16 Even a stuntman with a helmet is going to have a headache after that Shows you how dangerous practical stunts can be. As a rider that smack to the back of the head made me wince

That supercharger whine deserves its own line in the credits.

I visited this carpark location at the University of Melbourne, where they shot this scene, on a recent trip to Melbourne. The carpark has been closed for sometime, but we managed to walk around a look at the pillars. It was surreal to be there and to imagine them shooting this scene back in the day. We met someone who worked at the Uni who was taking a short cur through the carpark and she asked "Are you a Mad Max fan?" Hell yeah! 😀

Got the chance to see this at the drive-in, a classic place to see this classic movie. I wanted this car.

bring this car back to the big screen

Mad Max's V8 Interceptor is the only car I've wanted since i was a kid and will still want one when I'm a wrinkled old man

In the first film they were obviously being really careful not to damage the car. That is because the film had practically no budget. The car is actually a 1973 Ford Falcon GT. They painted it black, added a fake blower and voila, Mad Max interceptor. After the movie it was converted back to a Ford Falcon and they attempted to sell it. The same car in fact was used in the sequel and was gutted and had two fuel tanks installed. A stunt car was actually destroyed in the movie but the original was saved. It was given a bit of a makeover but it still retained its Mad Max II look. I think it ended up in a car museum in Miami.

The look on his face when the mechanic says 600hp to the wheels is priceless!!!

I regularly drive these roads. Some have hardly changed.

I love these movies - even if you can’t switch a charger on in real life 😂

Would LOVE to see Mad Max at the next Stop Oil protest, doing his thing!!!

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!!!*

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 !

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

She's the LAST of the V8's...

Great film!!!!
