    Mad Max, Road Warrior...

    So as of Tuesday Ill have been sick for a week, and in my boredom i felt the need, no, i felt obligated to watch Mad Max Road Warrior, seeing as how im pretty much feeling like complete crap and staying close to the house since the sinus infection of all sinus infections has me in check. Anyhow Ive had the urge to watch this movie for like going on a 2 weeks, and my quest to almost every video rental store in the county has turned up the big goose egg, they all had Mad Max 1!!!. So I break and head to Best Buy where i wander aimlessly in the video section for close to an hour before i see anyone remotely close to being able to help me... damn, that was a bitch, they were busier than hell, Only to find out that indeed they too did not have this movie...

    They had one better.... Mad Max Road Warrior, AND Beyond Thunderdome!!!

    A TWOFER!!!!

    I get home and proceed to watch Mad Max 1, then Road Warrior, then Beyond Thunderdome all in a row... but ya know what pissed me off the most?

    Max's F'ing Falcon gets ran off the road, rolled down a hill and blown up (that, and Thunderdome wasnt that good).

    Sorry, but that just pissed me off, the car didnt even see that much time in the damn movie... and it was completely badassed!! but oh well, as you all can tell, being sick for a week has got me pretty damn bored.

    So all in all as meaningless as this rant was, im pretty much ranting about being sick, poor selection at video joints, having to wait and wait at Best Buy, and then the icing on the cake was the Falcon... I know what you are thinkin and yes ive seen the movie before and i remember it being destroyed, but it still grinds my gears...


    That is all.

    Cheer up. All is not lost.
    The car they wrecked was a spare "double". I understand the badassed '73 XB GT Falcon Coupe, which was powered by a 351 Cleveland, was purchased, restored, and after being shown at various car shows, now resides in the Austrailian Birwood museum!

    The Aussi Falcons, actually kinda rare, have a cult following, and clones are being built now.
    That's it, we'll build one, (in the Pinks Car fashion) and put ponyman dressed like Max in it and win us another Cheby!

    That's one of my all time favorite trilogies. Those movies were so far ahead of their time, it's too bad they got popular fairly quick and hype got ahold of the Thunderdome...Tina Turner had no business in that movie.


    Here's a bit that'll really piss you of.....in The Road Warrior (2nd movie) the Gyrocoptor pilot is introduced, and he and Max get to know each other VERY well wouldn't you say? Why then in Thunderdome, does Max not even recognize him when he gets to town and sees him selling his camels that he stole from him?? WTF???? I'd have broke his face!!

    When I first looked at this post, I couldn't remember what the Falcon looked like. When I saw the pics, I remembered thinking it looked like a cross, between a Mustang II and an XR4TI. Then David puts up that pic (with the XR4TI, in his sig) and I'm sure of it!

    You're right, I thought the very same thing!
    In the day, we all thought it was a customised AMX.
