I never did understand: Max was right behind him. Why didn't he buy it, too?

Correct me if I am wrong, but there were only three gears in the Interceptors. Pathetic.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never did understand: Max was right behind him. Why didn't he buy it, too? Because Max saw it coming since he was looking forward and stomped on the brakes and swerved out of the way while the biker was looking back. |

If you look closely the front of the semi is a painted sheet of plywood.
Old school production value. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Correct me if I am wrong, but there were only three gears in the Interceptors. Pathetic. There were only two in torqueflites and they were used for drag racing for decades  . Final drive [rear end ratio] determines top speed more then transmission gearing if the top gear is 1:1 as was pretty much the norm back then.

That movie always confused me when I was younger. The edited for TV version cut out a lot of the heinous stuff they did in the beginning, so it seemed strange that the gang would go from just being rowdy to mundering a woman and baby.

I guess everyone now knows this, but for the few that may not:
When they released the movie, they thought the Australian accent would be off-putting to American ears, so the dubbed all the actors with American voice actors. . . |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The pursuits were slower cars with a more common paint job. Max got the last of the v8's in his intercepter which was all black. In the movie props The Pursuit car was a V8, and the yellow Interceptor was a 6 cylinder. Even though in the universe of the movie, those would have been reversed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Correct me if I am wrong, but there were only three gears in the Interceptors. Pathetic. The cars in question were a mix of 1970's Australian Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores. The cars in the movie would have had C-4s (Ford) or TH-350s (Holdens). I believe that the "Interceptor" was a vismod 1975 Falcon XKE, which had a 351C V8 variant and a 4 speed Ford "Toploader" standard transmission. I believe that some of the cars that were used in the movie to represent the "Interceptor" were base Falcon fastback 2-door coupes, which would have been rocking a 240 or 270 CID straight 6 Auto, which is why the "Interceptor" seems to have an automatic in some scenes and a standard transmission in others |

Later in the movie, they are trying to get Max to stay on the force. There's a couple of mechanics who sound a little goofy and off in the head. They tell Max they fitted his car with the last of the V8's. That's what I remember from watching the movie in the 80's. Is that wrong or is there some movie lore you are referring to? |

I watched a clip where the night rider is chased and Max is by himself and his car says Interceptor across the back of the trunk lid in all caps white letters. However, at that point in the movie, the car he is driving is yellow on top with red stripe and blue bottom.
Now I have to watch the movie again. Pretty sure the other two cops were driving a less hot car that said Pursuit on the trunk in all caps, white letters. I remember their car maybe being a different model that was less performance oriented. The Black Max car later in the movie was the one that had the big blower and V8. I'm going to have to figure out all those Aussie Fords and Holdens |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's been 35 years and I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but my memory was of seeing two cops in a two tone yellow and blue (maybe black) Car with Pursuit written on the back. There's a chase and a crash and the rookie cop is holding his throat. The senior cop who was driving gets on the radio and says something to the effect of send the meat wagon. At some point you see Max in a black car that has Interceptor written on the back of it. He.'a by himself and it's clear his car offers more performance. Later in the movie, they are trying to get Max to stay on the force. There's a couple of mechanics who sound a little goofy and off in the head. They tell Max they fitted his car with the last of the V8's. That's what I remember from watching the movie in the 80's. Is that wrong or is there some movie lore you are referring to? I'm saying in the opening chase with the Night Rider in the black V8. There is a yellow and blue MFP "Pursuit" vehicle with the fat guy and the guy who ends up getting his throat injured. Max is driving a yellow and blue MFP "Interceptor" vehicle. By the story line, the pursuit vehicle was a normal patrol car, and the interceptor was hopped up to "intercept" the bad guys. But the actual prop cars used, the pursuit vehicle was a V8 and the intercept vehicle was a 6 cylinder. It had trouble keeping up with the black V8 during filming. Later, Max drives one of the black Pursuit Specials V8 (with a fake blower). Just a little film making irony. Also, Max's was the only costume made from leather, because of cost. The other MFP guys were "pleather" vinyl. |

When I first saw the movie, Mel Gibson's voice was dubbed in by a voice actor.
Apparently his Australian accent was so thick people couldn't understand him, like Arnie in Hercules in New York. |

The DVD has the original Australian and dubbed over American sound tracks.
All of the voices were dubbed over. A lot of the slang they use is different too. |
