#MAD MAX TOECUTTER MOVIE#
Sure the stunts and car chases in Mad Max‘s arguably superior sequel The Road Warrior may be more impressive at times, but that movie had a lot more support behind it with over 10 times the original’s budget. These were real men doing real stunts in real cars going over 100 mph. The birth of Mad Max was filled with broken bones, military rocket boosters, and suicide missions to get the most insane shot that was as close to the action as possible. Director George Miller, making his first feature, pulled together every resource imaginable making his mean-spirited opus. Shot over 12 weeks in and around Melbourne with a humble budget of $350,000 (Australian), the making of Mad Max was sometimes just as chaotic and dangerous as the world depicted in the film. One of these officers, Max Rockatansky, looses faith in the justice after his best friend, wife, and infant son fall victim to the nastiest gang of them all, led by the Genghis Khan of the wasteland, the Toecutter. The remnants of a once strong police force, the Main Force Patrol do their best to maintain law while wild gangs of outlaw bikers loot, rape, and siphon their way through society. Influenced by the 1973 oil crisis that turned many motorists all over the globe to violence, Mad Max depicted a desolate world with long stretches of highways interrupted only by derelict signs of civilization.
#MAD MAX TOECUTTER SERIES#
Some teaser photos online already hint at some pretty damn cool vehicle designs, and we really hope that it stays true to the series first two film's gritty roots and gives us some awesome Road Warrior-style action.The grandaddy of all dystopian action extravaganzas, Mad Max burst into cinemas in 1979 in all of its super-charged, leather-clad glory, changing genre cinema forever. Which brings up to the the new film in the works, 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road, which stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. As the title indicates, most of the action takes place inside a large jungle gym style arena called the Thunderdome and featured a character Blaster, whom we're told, has the mind of a child. The third film - and one we can all agree was the weakest link in the series - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was released in 1985, but the film really didn't feature any awesome motorcycles or sweet cars like the past films. A props buyer for The Road Warrior purchased the sidecar, removed the fiberglass body and fitted a metal platform. The sidecar originally belonged to Allan Levinson from Sydney, Australia who had listed it for sale in 1981 because he couldn’t get used to how it rode alongside his Yamaha 650 Special. Wez also wreaks havoc in a Yamaha XS 1100 E sidecar that was modified to become a standing platform.
