I just wanted to hear how you guys got into Mad Max. Even if it was just at a theater or what not. Mine goes like this.

I brought over Vigilante 8 for the PSX to my friends house. We were blastin away and his dad walks by.

"Man! This is like Road Warriors!"

"What?" i said.

"With Mel Gibson...you know"

"Umm... nope."

Anyway they went on to tell me about it so i went and bought mad max. then road warrior...etc.

in 82 or 83 when HBO first aired The Road Warrior i was hooked on post apokyliptic movies,i first saw Mad Max in 86 and was horrified by the dubbing,and just went nuts over the cars i always thought the Interceptor ws some kind of modofied 70-71 Torino sportsroof untill like 95 when i went huntin for Max related websites

In 1990, My aunt and uncle loaned it to me(the first one) and i loved it! I was 10 then and for my 18th birthday, I bought the box set. I can't wait to get my hands on a undubbed version of the first MM.!!!!!!

When i was about 14 (a long time ago!) they showed MM1 on Tv.. I loved it Straight away.

Then a few years later after its realease they showed MM2 on Tv as well.. i naturally went to see MM3 in the movies...but wasnt that impressed.

I knew who Mad Max was ever since i was about 7 or 8 years old when thundedome was on tv. and i saw road warrior on fox about a year later. When i was about 12 tnt or tbs showed all three of them in a span of a couple months and i remebered to tape them. i watched all of them about 50 times each and then i went out and bought the real tapes.

In '79 or '80, I heard many of my friends talking about what they called "an awsome movie" called "Mad Max". From their description, it sounded sort of gory and I wasn't interested at the time. Fast forward to 1982, I go with a group of friends in college to see MM2/Road Warrior. Naturally, I was totally hooked and went to see Mad Max as soon as I could find it showing somewhere. The series has become my favorite of all time. Since then, I've created a "Max" outfit which I have worn at many occaisions as well as an attempt at an interceptor replica (1973 Capri / 351C). The outfit was unfortunatly destroyed several years ago in a fire and the car sold as well. Currently I'm getting together funding for a new outfit and a real Falcon interceptor replica which I plan to start in 2001.

Needless to say, my friends have called me "Mad Max" for years.

Best Regards,

Evan

Hi Doug,

I have a few in process shots where the car is totally stripped to the body shell and even some video of a ride in the car. I also have a couple shots of the car (and me hamming it up) when I sold it. Many of the great detail shots were destroyed in the fire that got my MM outfit and about $3500 in sound gear. The car, happily, was outside and not in the garage under the house.
