Lawrence Carpenter that's not a fair dig at Max, they got a lot of actor for the budget they had. They could do a lot worse. However you are absolutely right
600hp back then would have been thought of as insane, the new countach at the time had 370hp and hemi cudas were putting out 430hp, no wonder max spaces out
@@thetankhunter100 given the modern % that is general you are looking at around 702 crank HP. With the average loss of 17%. Which would be impressive given the time. But even then to go along with the post above you, the Dodge Hellcat/TRX Ram both use a 717hp motor, and both are also super charged, which would be a 1 to 1 equivalent.
The Ford 427 SOHC had 616 horsepower with a single four barrel carb, and over 650 with two four barrel carbs in 1964, all without a supercharger. It was also one of the only motors to be banned by Nascar. I am not familiar with when the events in this movie supposedly took place, but it is possible to have had a engine above 600 horsepower. But in a dystopian future that specific motor would have been incredibly rare to find.
What alot of people don't realize is when Mel Gibson reached under that supercharger to rev the engine it actually caught the edge of his coat there and the engine stalled at the same time and he just acted on through it without missing a beat..... Pretty decent of him.
Yep, and then they do some shitty remake a few years ago which was boring as fuck and they just drove around in the desert for half the movie in a pointless exercise.

@@Hjerte_Verke Nope. Max's "normal" police car had "interceptor" written on the back, so they'd be the superior versions of the patrol car. And something you'd probably not know is that the Highway Patrol IRL called their cars "interceptors". I'm not sure if they still do.
The scene where it pulls up close to the side pipes when Max is preparing to go after Toecutter is one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema history. How it lugs down hard as he stops and then comes back to idle is total motorhead porn.

We can all argue which Mad Max is the best, but this one ultimately is my favorite. It just has this wonderful sense of loneliness. A lost society trying to hold on to their civilization. I love that the MFP announcer is making announcements, even though there’s maybe like 7-8 cops in the whole precinct. And I love the music score.
The constant back announcer is real key thing to the feel of the movie. The dialogue is magnificent. None of the other movies had that. Some awesome lines. "Must've cut his heart out, hey?"
I agree! There’s something chilling about society holding on to the last few scraps of civilisation. Oh, sure, you can buy an ice cream - but you’re one step away from anarchy
"600hp through the wheels". Pretty cool that they phrased it that way. Even though there are a few little fantasy movie quirks regarding the engine there was someone involved with the writing that was clearly a gearhead. Especially considering the age of the movie. Nowadays I'm sure plenty of people know that wheel horsepower is what matters as there are chassis dynos everywhere but back in the late 70's I'm guessing that was a relatively obscure term.
Fun fact: The plastic yellow bucket in engine compartment was put there to hide the electric motor used to drive the fake blower drive belt. The Weiand blower and scoop was real but never installed to work. The engine was just a standard V-8. Also the shift knob with the blower on/off switch was a movie prop. The shifter was from a big rig truck the red knob is a selector switch to go into higher gear numbers only used on big rig manual transmissions. Blowers cannot be turned on and off with a switch. But it looks cool!
Mad Max was a part of my childhood. I remember my friends older brother showing it to us. I have a blue heeler, and when i describe what kind of dog he is to people who dont know, I always reference this movie.
"The bee's knees, the duck's guts" 😅😆 Such an amazing, timeless sound of that engine and supercharger. Puts a genuine smile on any person's face who love cars and engine 😄😊🤗
I feel the best movie car intro comes from the "Road Warrior" right in the beginning as the cameras pans up from the interceptors bumper right to the Supercharger in action while he is battling.
This scene gives me goosebumps every time ... I grew up too this movie and it made me a car enthusiast ever since ... they don’t make cars like this any more and they don’t make movies like this any more ... recommend every one to look the documentation “the madness of max” about this movie was made ... shows what a couple of people with a heart and passion for what they do can do even with the lack of money ... deep respect for everyone involved in this masterpiece 🙏🏽
You're right they dont make cars and movies like this anymore because they dont put passion and love in this they care about to make fast money not quality anymore this is the sad part
0:53 my lord, that supercharger is music to my ears man, my body just chills when I hear it, same with the second film when max runs out the oiled rig at sun set and the supercharger roaring
@@pyramidhead8659 Apparently it's an Australian expression that is said when someone thinks something is great or awesome. Basically another way of saying something like "it's the bee's knees" or the "it's the cat's meow."
Everybody always talks about how Mel Gibson accidentally caught his jacket in the supercharger belt (0.57) while revving it and I know that was just a mistake on the actors part but I always thought it was foreshadowing that the only thing that monster of a car was going to be used for was rage and vengeance. Almost poetic.
Yeah well why did no one tell him don't stick your hand between any belts or fans ever is common sense let alone if you are into cars you can take four steps to the right of the car or Max's left and easily rev it by hand he is luck it didn't grab a good hold of that jacket more than likely be a one handed Mel Gibson.
what the fuck does getting caught in a supercharger belt have to do with rage and vengeance? you should be a buzzfeed journalist because just like them you just seem to say random shit that you think sounds deep and will make your writing appear less shit. that or a tumblrgirl, both would suit you fine.
Well, it was made during the "collapse" and before the total apocalypse so was more of a dystopian future akin to Robocop or Total Recall while the Mad Max sequels are all post-apocalyptic.
I bought a Dodge Challenger Stick Shift because of this damn movie. Saw it as a kid, and the Challenger Body was as close as it got. Blacked out the whole car and eventually got more speeding tickets than I cared for lmao still drive that beast
@@waveman0 He isn't saying the car in the movie is a Dodge Challenger. What he is saying is the Dodge Challenger is the closest he could find to the Falcon's profile.
Is it just me or does the interceptor look way better in part 2. I just love the apocalyptic look it has with the modified fuel tanks on the rear. Plus l love how they made the engine in part 2 sound more corroded because of the dirty fuel he’s using.
I often wondered...when Mad Max came out, almost no car on the market had an aero nose like the false one they added to the Falcon XB for this movie. By the time MM2 came out, the first cars with aero fronts were making their way to the mainstream, so the Interceptor looses its aero front right at the start of the movie. Was this on purpose?
I live in central Alabama and I was driving down interstate 459 last spring. And a police escort allowing a chase of the black mad max interceptor and one of Victoria’s big bopper police cars was underway! The inner kid in me was so stoked! Both replica cars and the supercharger on the black interceptor was no fake. The weiand roots blower was screaming when she flashed by! Headed to a big car show in tuscaloosa Alabama I believe.
Goose: "Kick it in the guts, Barry." Interceptor: Noise of sucking in air, Engine rumble, Blower whistleing Barry: "She's the last of the V8s." Goose: "shut the gate on this one Max! It's the duck's guts!" Barry: "Yeah, she's the last of the V8s, she sucks nitro. Phase 4 heads. Twin overhead cam." Goose: "Tell him about the blower." Barry: "600 Horsepower trough the Weels. With a blower" Goose: " With a blower" Barry: "She's meanness put to music and the bitch is born to run." Goose: "He's in a coma, man!" Barry: "He loves it." Interceptor: revs up, more Engine rumble and Blower whisteling. Turns off. Max: "Okay! How the hole did you get all this together?" Barry: "It just happened, Max. You know? A _____piece from here and a _____piece from there." Max: "So easy?" Barry: "Yeahs." Goose: "Come on, Max. You've seen it... You've heard it... and you're still asking questions?" Max: "When do we go for a ride?"
This car is a FORD Falcon XB sedan, 351 V8 engine, probably a 1974 model. Max is seen driving this car before he goes "Mad", and takes off in the black Interceptor. Like Big Bopper, this car was also originally a Victoria Police Interceptor
When this movie first came out I was always beating my brains out to figure out what kind of car that was. Over the years I've learned Australia has it's own different versions of Fords and Mopars not found in USA etc.
Anyone notice how he reached into the engine bay to give it a rev? If he got his arm caught in that belt drive he would have been in deep shit. Probably why he suddenly pulls his arm out!!
@@jonathanoxlade4252 Thing is, in the first movie that supercharger wasn't functional and wasn't being driven by the engine. This was so they could do the effect of pushing a button to turn it on/off.
@@billgates1682 I know it was dubbed in. I guess I'm expecting it to be a tad more in-sync with the key turn. But it was a very low budget film, so I really shouldn't fault them for it.
This scene was filmed in the Melbourne University underground car park. The cone shaped pillars have trees above them and the cone has space for the tree root system.
if anyones wondering what the point of the yellow bucket was, the air scoop in the first film wasn't actually attached to the engine and was powered separately, and this was covered up by the bucket, for the second film they fixed that little issue
His last friend (a dog too) whom he could trust, with whom he felt calmer on the road. Although the car detonated due to a trap set by Max, it looked like the Interceptor sacrificed himself to save his owner...
I love Barry's enthusiasm explaining what he's built. Like it's his crowning achievement. In reality a stroked out 351 with a functional blower and a 100 shot of nos this really could have produced 600 horses.
“She’s the lasta the V8s!” ….. “600 horsepower through the wheels with the blower!” The MFP garage mechanic, “Barry,” is one of the more under-appreciated characters in the film. It was the details of his garage-scene dialog here, introducing Max to the supercharged V8 MFP Pursuit Special, that helped create the apparent invincibility of the car. Not to mention its legendary carry-over status in Mad Max 2 (a/k/a The Road Warrior).
I wonder if anyone ever noticed the similarities between an old film called "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" ( Peter Fonder & Susan George ) they take a police man into a garage & start up engine on of hot police car to find & apprehend them , Reminded me of this scene & its a pre dates Mad Max , a couple of other things are similar too ( mabey G Miller saw this & was inspired ) ??
Zer0Mercy83 such a beautiful car. I’m not a car guy at all. But the shape, the sound, the colors. They’re absolutely beautiful to look at. One of the best openings to any action movie ever. An amazing car chase.
Bought a 68 Camero SS back in the early 80s replacing the blown engine no thanks to the previous owner…always had this scene in my head while puting a new stock engine in her trying to put some life into her. Still kicking my own ass selling it.
All of us gear heads can relate brother. I would have a mansion money wise in the cars I’ve sold. But man at the memories and friends I’ve made. I’m headed in for my final build and I’ll have her till I kill over. I’m too old now to sell my toys.

Anyone notice how he reached into the engine bay to give it a rev? If he got his arm caught in that belt drive he would have been in deep shit. Probably why he suddenly pulls his arm out!!
Yea that belt is probably pushing enough grunt to rip your arm off
@@jonathanoxlade4252 😬😱
That is why he pulls his arm out. Mel Gibson's jacket sleeve caught on the belt slightly and the engine stalled out.
@@jonathanoxlade4252 Thing is, in the first movie that supercharger wasn't functional and wasn't being driven by the engine. This was so they could do the effect of pushing a button to turn it on/off.
He actually did get his sleeve caught, but he played it off
Kocham ten fragment filmu...prawdziwa radość:)
This car is probably my favorite in all of fiction. The roaring v8 beast, last of its kind, that helped Max get his revenge in abundance.
In a world where Gasoline is scarce, it makes sense to put a supercharger on a V8.
Well gasoline may be scarce, but homicidal maniacs aren't.
And no one settles for turbochargers
@@matthew_natividad at the year mad max was made turbo tech literaly wasnt there
Thing sounds like jet engine starting up
Yea, except the sound doesn't quite match with Barry turning the key.
@@C598corvette it doesnt!
@@uazhar2013 could've had him flip a switch and that be the sound of the high pressure pump, then turn the key.
@@C598corvette Loll, the sound was obviously dubbed in. The supercharger is fake and it had a standard 351 with a mechanical fuel pump.
@@billgates1682 I know it was dubbed in. I guess I'm expecting it to be a tad more in-sync with the key turn. But it was a very low budget film, so I really shouldn't fault them for it.
And then Don Felder Take a Ride starts playing.
I bought the Heavy metal soundtrack on cassette, just for that tune.
@@dalea1691 A man of class and taste I see.
“She's meanness set to music and the bitch is born to run!”
Damn that line is beautiful
plot: the world is out of gas
also plot: HERES A CAR THAT GETS 3MPG
Correction, 2 gallons per minute of idling. May or may not be an exaggeration, carburetor engines are terrible.
I tuned my dad’s Ford 390 with 4:10 gears to get 13 miles to the gallon with a Holley 2bbl.
This is the first movie, which was pre-apocalypse
The start up always gives me chill. The sound it amazing
When the car salesman talks you into it when your just browsing.
Thank you dearly for posting this...
I’ve always loved supercharged V8’s.
Especially the F&F Dodge Charger!
This scene was filmed in the Melbourne University underground car park. The cone shaped pillars have trees above them and the cone has space for the tree root system.
Nice info Bruv😀
if anyones wondering what the point of the yellow bucket was, the air scoop in the first film wasn't actually attached to the engine and was powered separately, and this was covered up by the bucket, for the second film they fixed that little issue
nothing to do with the "scoop" u mean the belt and supercharger
Tommy Orr Jr I know very little about cars, or any of the technical terms
That Blower whine ❤❤❤❤ made me fall head over heels for cars ever since I heard it when I was just 7
She th-thucks nitro!
His last friend (a dog too) whom he could trust, with whom he felt calmer on the road. Although the car detonated due to a trap set by Max, it looked like the Interceptor sacrificed himself to save his owner...
Brilliant. Although i watched this for over 30 years, before i actually noticed Goose was pulling a funny face as Max answers him at the end...lol.
OMG. Never noticed !!
fmovies.to/film/mad-max.z4jp/9o49yxq
Oh crap I didn't notice that before how funny(face)!!!!!🤤
freefallnick Wow!! Never saw that before!!
The birth of the road warrior : excellent, the legend begins !
This is becoming more true has Tesla cars are taking over.
Yeah , no Tesla's market share out of the US is laughable
No Tesla car can replace this Interceptor masterpiece!
Imagine a remake of Mad Max using a Tesla. Just for laughs.
@@ralphpaez3513 They can in acceleration. (Until they crash into a parked emergency vehicle and kill people...)
I love Barry's enthusiasm explaining what he's built. Like it's his crowning achievement. In reality a stroked out 351 with a functional blower and a 100 shot of nos this really could have produced 600 horses.
This one scene explains everything I loved about the movie
“She’s the lasta the V8s!” ….. “600 horsepower through the wheels with the blower!”
The MFP garage mechanic, “Barry,” is one of the more under-appreciated characters in the film. It was the details of his garage-scene dialog here, introducing Max to the supercharged V8 MFP Pursuit Special, that helped create the apparent invincibility of the car. Not to mention its legendary carry-over status in Mad Max 2 (a/k/a The Road Warrior).
Thumbs up for the original Aussie dialogue
Hab die Scene im Kopf ,ich war ca 11 und mein Nr 1 Videofilm bei meinem Onckel werde diesen schönen Tag nie vergessen
Man, Max's face when they were telling him about the engine, reminded me a LOT of Airforceproud95

Barry is a God! He built the interceptor!
0:22
Honestly, that kinda reminds of the introduction to the Batmobile from “The Batman”!
I wonder if anyone ever noticed the similarities between an old film called "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" ( Peter Fonder & Susan George ) they take a police man into a garage & start up engine on of hot police car to find & apprehend them , Reminded me of this scene & its a pre dates Mad Max , a couple of other things are similar too ( mabey G Miller saw this & was inspired ) ??
I LOOOOVE THIS CAR!!!!!
It's the duck's guts!
Me too Paskal Jamróz
I. WANT. THE. CAR.
伝説のシーン(永遠にNo. 1)
600 h-horsepower through the wheel
600 HP! Even as someone who is not a car guy, it is inspirational in itself.
Gotta love that MFP interceptor!
Zer0Mercy83 such a beautiful car. I’m not a car guy at all. But the shape, the sound, the colors. They’re absolutely beautiful to look at. One of the best openings to any action movie ever. An amazing car chase.
The way "600 hp to the wheels" comes out of left field mixed in with a scrambling of other comments is absolutely magnificent
Bought a 68 Camero SS back in the early 80s replacing the blown engine no thanks to the previous owner…always had this scene in my head while puting a new stock engine in her trying to put some life into her. Still kicking my own ass selling it.
My dream car...
All of us gear heads can relate brother. I would have a mansion money wise in the cars I’ve sold. But man at the memories and friends I’ve made. I’m headed in for my final build and I’ll have her till I kill over. I’m too old now to sell my toys.
I like how they even have the seats covered in sheets as well as the fenders while they work on her. I've never worked with anyone who cared that much, I hope to some day.
10 years from now this will be a reality
We can only hope
@@joesmoe8187 you hope v8s die gtfo
Gives me goosebumps
I love being a mechanic
Great film.
Max's car was awesome looking.
I only just now рroрerly made out the words ''Twin overhead cam'' and this car just got about three times cooler to me.
It's just Ford ohv 351 Cleveland with a fake blower.
I love that they step directly over what would appear to be a rocket car so they can slobber over a cobbled together Falcon.
Its easy to be spellbound by this car and its supercharged V8 :D
This kitt and the delorean time machine just absolute iconic cars
One my absolute favorites, seen it dozens of times. I prefer the Australian accent version but the dubbed version gives it that campy feel.
There's a dubbed version? Are you f'ing kidding me?
When people ask me what got you into cars I just show them this clip and walk away
@@MidwestFarmToys it’s a movie you dummy smh 🤦
@@MidwestFarmToys we all know the Super charger in the movie was not real like I said it’s a movie I was a kid when it came out smh you really are dumb
"Kick it in the guts, Barry."
How many people around the world would know what that means? Or does everyone know what it means?
“He’s in a coma, man. He loves it!”
0:23 это самый лучший звук который я слышал в жизни.. )))
V8 Interceptor
a.k.a The Millennium Falcon of the highway
I still forget the first Mad Max isn't even "Mad Max" yet.
I wish I had one of every car in Mad Max, Especially this Black Interceptor!!! It is my most favorite car.
This is how we’re going to feel here in the next couple of years the people like me that kept their muscle cars will be the last of the V8s sadly
It's happening already..
My favourite movie car.
