Kaynin Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Both covers convey a very different message. The original Aussie is dark and moody, the USA makes it look futuristic. No surprise as Mad Max is set in the future! @muon* a blast from the past seeing the original cover, brings back memories! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muon* Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The original movie didn't feel futuristic to me at the time, nothing in the movie lent Itself to this, cars, fashion ect'. I don't recall any shortages like with water in the original, just that the roads had been plagued with gangs getting up to no good. I think this is why I see the sequels as 'based on the original movie' rather than continuations, personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’ve got Oz Prime. But it looks like it doesn’t qualify for Prime shipping. Oh well, now I’ll be forced to buy a few things to justify shipping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muon* Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Well It's didn't seem far from IRL to me, but I grew up in a lower socioeconomic suburb that had It's own local outlaw biker gang chapter that were not viewed from a distance often, and personal interactions were sometimes unwanted but not infrequent for a fair few.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't call me mate, I don't know you from a bar of soap... Did you grow up during the 70's? At that period of time the consensus was what I wrote above, the Kwaka 900 was the bike to own and Harley riders were somewhat frowned upon.

Real bikers don't put **** on other peoples rides bloke. Who frowned on Harley riders back then "bloke"? I'll quote the old cliche, Z900's made Harley's look maneuverable. Ohh, the bikes to own were Laverda 3C's later the Jota and various Dukes. If you could afford them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubularbells Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I was 6yo when my dad (bless him) took me to see this at Wantirna Drive In back in the day. He had no idea about ratings (This being an R) so hid me under a blanket in the back of his mustard coloured Ford wagon purely so he didn't have to pay extra. Must admit the month following did induce vivid nightmares which I still remember to this day but what a film. One day i'll also work out that post apocalyptic "B" movie was shown before. It involved buggies equipped with rotor blades that lopped off the heads of those that came across it and a few nudie scenes that were frankly most welcomed to help counter all the violence shown on screen. Bet if I put my 12yo through the same nowadays he would just laugh and tell me how fake everything looks.....how times have changed! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah na that wasn't it (although it involved plenty of what I described ). It was a post apocalyptic type film like Mad Max only with more gratuity in the blood and boobies department.

Never saw a gang member riding a Harley, most were Kwaka Nines with a few Honda seven fifty fours, and maybe some weirdo member on a waterbus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could afford them. Ah! I see, you are not taking about outlaw gang members, you are talking from the perspective of those they pissed on before they.... Edit: in the movie 'Stone' they depicted the bikes much more accurately for that time period, from my memory. Although Mad Max did OK, with Z1000 for Goose and Toecutter. Though Gooses bike was an anomaly as the cops rode Honda 750/4s in the time but there might have been exceptions in some states in some instances. "With money tight, Miller had to be creative when it came to bikes and extras, too. While the main bike cop, Jim Goose, and the leader of the biker gang, ‘Toecutter’, were played by Aussie actors Steve Bisley and Hugh Keays-Byrne respectively (the latter having previously starred in the cult bike flick Stone) most of the rest of the gang – and their bikes – were the real McCoy. Miller placed an ad for the shoot in a bike shop window and local motorcycle club, The Vigilantes, came on board." Hmm....so I must say that both movies accurately depicted the bikes for the time, even the bubble sidecar bike was a Honda 750/4. Not a Harley in site, just like it was IRL.
