The reality is that they actually built all these cars, that alone is beyond bad ass. Props to every builder who had anything to contribute to the cars
No. All this vehicles actually built purely for looks only. No car engineering involved in making. In reality they undrive able nor practicality. Just junks.😅

The Howe & Howe Ripsaw was originally designed to test their track design which is a really good design for making extremely fast tracked vehicle. However, the problem with the track design is low bearing life and tension issues. Basically the tracks dislike fine sand or mud. (I've only seen one video of their machine driving in mud and it's the oldest video of the machine) Their work with the military has been experimental mainly. With remote controlled versions of the vehicle as ground based attack "drones" or load carrying support vehicles for foot soldiers. Honestly, the head mechanic for the movie seems like an amazing mechanic since he was able to correct the issues with a vehicle built by self proclaimed pros.
I'll get to all of them (hopefully!). I plan on making a video on Fury Road's Interceptor/Razor Cola because I haven's seen anyone do a video on that one, and it's got a pretty cool history!
@@alanp3334 tangentially, my dad worked on race minis in the late 60s (the vitabread VitaMin to be specific). They tried various chassis layouts, but V8 rear drive was considered the worst by far, and rear V8 front drive (yes, really) want much better. They went with front engine, front drive, fuel injection and hot cams, balancing and lightening the internals etc in the end (supercharging was tried but heat soak was an issue) All very much 'as I recall' as the old man is brown bread these days, though. Sounded like fun times (his main work was on the rear suspension) That mini did well in its class, too!
Bruh, I love your videos. Im 50 and been a massive fan since 83, when a video rental van used to call to my house, and in the back of that grimey van I discovered the two greatest movies of all time on VHS..

@@MadMaxBible this video was awesome! The facts behind the machines are more interesting than any other aspect of the Mad Max legacy. Without them, these movies wouldn't exist. Liked, subscribed, diving in to watch more of your videos! AWESOME!!!
The TH400 they were using must have been nearly stock spec. Built versions of those things get put in everything from 3000+HP drag cars to 1000+HP off road mega trucks.
Aren't you thinking of Powerglides? I've seen a TH400 with a spiral tear around the bellhousing from a stock 308 GTS HJ Monaro. If the housing cant handle 250 odd bhp, how's it going to handle 1000?
Seems weird that there'd be an issue with the Gigahorse's multi-engine setup since people have been bolting up such things for Tractor Pull racing for decades.
Heya GREAT video and my first time watching your channel. I also noticed your attention to detail so I thought I'd drop a couple things and this is meant as a friendly viewer (some people take everything as an attack). @6:10 you say military decorations but those are just strung together bandoliers in rows but I get it as it's a tracked vehicle and looks, tankish. Also it's shotgun shells or spent cartridges if they've been fired not bullet casings. No worries and again great video..
For me, from thge 130 so cars in the movie, there's one that literally took my heart and made me go crazy with it. Elvis. That thing is beautiful to the point I would love to replicate it one day. The enlarged chassis, the ruste style, the M2 machine gun on the roof... is just perfect.
This film was made on Longbeach between Swakopmund and Walvisbay in Namibia. I am happy to say that I saw some of these vehicles. I was on holiday in the area when the movie was made. 😎
There were sooo many Easter eggs in this movie; I'd like to think the 70s Ford truck was a shout out to the one used in the second movie.... And the buzzard cars remind me of the spiked VW from "The Cars that Ate People" ( alternate title: the cars that ate Paris,) an Australian movie from the mid seventies that had Bruce Spence and Max Phipps in it (the Gyro Captain and Toadie from MM2.)
I love the work that went into these... That movie is highly under rated. Probably because I have seen better acting on The Honeycomb hideout commercials. But I still love that movie.
The reality of these cars is, they were built with a certain purpose in mind, and were atemptedly used for something they wern't built for, but thats what makes it so amazing, is the creativity and the fact they did still work without a blueprint to guide them, they had to make their own.
There was literally a mini-documentary about how every single vehicle in Fury Road was actually built as they appeared and almost all of the stuff you see in the movie was actually done.
I don't understand what the big deal was about running dual engines. Anyone who is into vehicles has seen or heard of tractor pull competition. They pair 4 and 5 engines together. The these kind of adapters are actually common if you look into the correct industry.
They definitely were not building the turbo 400 right or used the improper flex plate and torque converter on that 2 engined car thing. I work with mud trucks that's push 1300 hp with a supercharged 572 big blocks running on 110 and tractor tire the size of my truck and these guys personally prefer the turbo 400 for it's reliability and simplistic design. I have never seen a legitimately built turbo 400 fail how you described it. You would have to slam that thing in reverse going 60 to need to rebuild it every single day. For anyone that thinks my comment is full of crap check out my Instagram page, @will_mitchell_350. Though I don't post about the monster trucks I work with I only run a turbo 400. My jeep cherokee has a AMC 401 pushing 600 hp and I have absolutely beat on that th400. My 85 k20 has a th400 and I also quite a bit hammer on her in first gear at 5200 rpms with my 383 stroker and I have never had a problem with it. It grinds my gears when people make the assumption a th400 cannot handle power and it grinds my gears more when these "Hollywood mechanics" don't know how to do something right for all the money they get paid.
The monster truck in the movie was actually showcased in the film by two real monster trucks, the one used was Aaron Tuanas Shattered Silence and the other was Mike Tuanas Stress Factor which was retired after filming due to damage to the chassis
Mad.., Mad (max) respect to all those gearheads that put those amazing vehicles together its been said before, the vehicles are as much the stars of the films as the actors
FYI... A supercharged turbo setup is instant cringe for any real world gearhead. That is as impossible to do as turning a supercharger on and off, with a reverse release detent on the shift lever, that was used in the very first Mad Max movie.
I believe I tried to contact you about your work on this film. The information I got is from various publications in the press and also people who worked on this film. I'll be more than happy to hear your side of the story about Cranky Frank.

Shame about the Giggle Horse. It really was a cool looking rat rod. If I had the money, I'd make a replica.
The biggest takeaway I see; is that it would be almost impossible to fabricate these cars, in a post-apocalyptic setting. They would almost need to have fourth city, (Probably called the "Car Rancher" or the "Metal Smashers") dedicated to fabricating these vehicles.
How realistic... In the middle of nowhere 20 years into apocalypse they just found a bunch of engines, turbo chargers, nitro and all the other sweet stuff. 🤣
I like the original 80's Mad Max and his car ,this was like a fantasy story , where in a post apocalyptic world would you find cars like this????? , it was very very far fetched.
The first drivetrain shouldn't have been hard to source. Competition tow tractors in the US have been known to have up to and maybe more than 5 V8 engines with forced induction connected together to multiply the pulling force. 2 V8's in a w pattern should have been easy.
The reality is that they actually built all these cars, that alone is beyond bad ass. Props to every builder who had anything to contribute to the cars

What doesn´t exactly fit the setting though is the immense amount of maintenance they require and the complexity that went into some of them.

It’s an Aussie thing man!
Its so cool that they really made so many crazy vehicles, instead of slamming in cgi everywhere.
The fact that “Cranky Frank” was just a DIY project that was borrowed for the movie is hilarious

Cranky Frank could use a few cameras and a monitor or 2.

Would definetly like more of these videos
So Cranky Frank had a 383 Stroker with a big ol supercharger, open headers and a huge intake and only made 300 hp???? hmmmmmm......
