I might be wrong, but ive heard on some forums that one original challenger is still alive (sort of) it’s completely gutted with nothing but a body.

Great stuff but I’d love to see more on the car the night rider stole.

THE CAR!!!!!! Christine, is rip off, entertaining but not scary

This is my favorite movie of all time! In the early 90s, I used to go out to Tucson, to cruise around, looking for the locations. In 2009, i had the opportunity to do a scene with David Sherrill (Skank) in In/Significant others. I hollered "Skank!" at him from across the floor, and everyone went silent, thinking I had just insulted their star, LOL. You can imagine how relieved they all were, when he hollered "Yeah! Man, I haven't heard that one in a LONG time!" back at me. We shook hands and started talking. We suddenly realized that everyone was just standing there and watching us, thinking we were old friends, LOL. Really nice guy.

What, no Killdozer (movie)?

Interceptor was Max's yellow sedan at the start, Pursuit Special was the coupe. But the cars descriptions (overhead cams??) Were designed by art directors, for whatever looked and sounded good on screen, and didn't really have to make sense.

Wraith was on jay leno

2door lincoln what movie.

"The Black on Black"

Would love to see the car

Christine is not really a demonic car - she is a symbol for anti-bullying

Is it available in pink?

History lessons for you new age reimagine the past kids. The name "Police Interceptor" comes from Ford, who began using the name in 1951 for the optional flathead V-8 engine in their 1949 Ford Police Package. The practice of naming Ford's police package motors "Interceptor" continued through the 1950s. In 1992, Ford released the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, which became iconic as a police car due to its prevalence in fleets across North America after the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice in 1996. Wikipedia Ford police vehicles - Wikipedia Ford vehicles have been popular with police since the company's infancy, and Ford often so...

D&R Electronics A Brief Evolution of Ford Interceptor Police Cars - D&R Electronics Sep 29, 2021 - Crown Victoria. The Ford Crown Victoria cars released their police variants in... Modern Ford Police Interceptors include features like Level IV+ ballistic panels to protect against armor-piercing rounds and the ability to withstand a 75-mpg rear-impact crash test. The 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility will be available with three engine options: a 3.3L V6 gas engine, a 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine, and a 3.3L V6 Direct-Injection Hybrid Engine System. The police vehicle also has a column-mounted shifter instead of the Explorer's standard center console-mounted shifter to make room for tactical equipment.

Dunno what you new age kids will reimagine and reinvent in the future.... But the mad max inrerceptor was his vehicle of choice. Its a police patrol car. He was a police officer. All .. i repeat... All police vehicles are called inrerceptors. Again, i dont know what toy nee age kids will fake and lie about and reimagine non canonically in the future, but yea. Just waiting for you new age l card carriers to change mel gibson into will smith. Everything is changed black now. So im assuming youll call the interceptor the ho mobile or something ebonic and black and african american in the future.

Max Ruckatnsky has PTSD 😮😮😮

Jensen got there first with their vehicle, also named "Interceptor" dating back to 1966. Jensen also adapted this vehicle for a short run (and the first production road car) of 320 all-wheel drive cars known as the Jensen FF.

A key part of this anti-hero drive-in flick? Vic Morrow. The final chase before the dramatic finish was incredible. The helicopter is tapping on the Charger’s hood and Morrow is yelling at the pilot to stay with the chase even though fuel is running low.

i saw both movies back in the day, for me the car, the black demonic car is more evil, on the other hand christine was posesed by the soul of a former owner that happens to be an evil guy, the black car was posesed by the devil it self, so for me the more bad and evil car is the black car

Christine can repair itself, but The Car was indestructible

Interceptor sounds more intimidating than Pursuit Special. It's no wonder the Mad Max car became better known as Interceptor and why police departments in the US chose that name for their patrol vehicles. Television producer Glen A. Larson was most likely inspired by Mad Max. The first-time audiences heard the word nightrider was in the 1979 Mad Max Film. It was the name of the character played by actor Vincent Gil. Larson would use the name for a show he developed called Knight Rider which made its debut in 1982.

Christine is the better movie, but both are really cool movie cars.

Oh My Dog my all time favourite "The Car" ❤❤❤❤❤

Brilliantly done ❤❤❤

V8 and Boobies ❤❤❤❤

The Bike.

Fury road was an abortion of a movie, dire script, pathetic acting, nothing like MM.

BABY!!!😍

Wasn’t it maxs project car or something

I grew up in the 80s and I loved that car... it was ahead of its time I would love a sequel as much to a few other films The last starfighter Enemy mine and the ice pirates

Cars from hell, puppets from hell, i love it!! It,s hilarious!😅😊

It’s easy to deduce that, at the beginning of Mad Max, one of the yellow cars in pursuit is a pursuit vehicle, while the other is an interceptor, which failed its primary mission, and then joined the pursuit vehicle in running the bad guy down. Then, Max was the final interceptor. There’s probably not much difference between a yellow pursuit and a yellow interceptor. And, since Max drives an interceptor for a living, the black Falcon was probably outfitted as a super interceptor.

Time travel movie as the euphoria of the 🌞☀️'summer of love' 60's crashed into (or successfully through?) the disillusionment of the 1970's reality😊

I was an extra in the movie The Last American Hero

Fun fact: Mad Max remains one of, if not _the_ highest return on a film to this very day. Avatar is listed as number one, only because it brought in 3 billion in ticket sales, but it cost 240 odd million to make, meaning it returned 12x its budget. Mad Max's budget was around 250,000 (USD) but made 100 million in the box office, meaning it returned 400x budget. Quite an achievement, by any measure.

Another possibility is that the older version interceptors and uniforms were spoils of war. Kill a cop, his is yours. Actually likely given the increasingly crazier characters

Great video essay. I've always been a huge car nut and remember seeing Mad Max in a local theater when I was 13 (NYC, 116 Street) in '79. I love all the films (except maybe parts of number 3), but the first will always be my second favorite after MM2. Being American, for years, we always got the dubbed-over version with voice-over actor Peter Hernandez (also coincidentally the English voice of Speed Racer anime), mainly as Max and I think FiFi, so later when Mel's actually voice and other cast members voices were finally used on all copies--I kinda miss the old version. Thanks for clearing up the confusion of Max's wheels, from the V8 Interceptor to the last of the V8 Pursuit Vehicle.

10:30 Please do a stand alone video on the red Coyote from Hardcastle & McCormick, showing development, design, construction, ownership then and now and any other tid bits of information that are relevant. The theme song of "Drive" was also an iconic song that is still loved by fans to this day...

The Truck from Duel.

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry such a great car movie.

I call BS on guy in sun Valley owning one of the cars. If it truly was, it wouldn't just be sitting rotting. $$$$$$$

The Munsters Hurstmobile hands down.

Awesome

I really want that Cuda. But not for hunting, cuz you know it’s a gas guzzler.

For me all prequels are evil. Don't like them and try not watching them.

In the comics, its stated that in the time between Road Warrior and Thunderdome, Max was collecting parts to make a new Interceptor. I cannot remember if he used what was left of the old one as a starting point such as the chassis or if the fire/explosion from the booby trap did too much damage to salvage anything from it. The truck he was using in Thunderdome was full of parts for it. After Thunderdome he went back to collecting parts, eventually won an engine but had everything stolen by a gang who completed the car for their own use but Max stole it back. After that Max used the new Interceptor for a number of years but things went bad for him mentally for some reason and he became what he was at the beginning of Fury Road and in that time when Max was in a bad way, he stopped taking care of the Interceptor which is why it was so beat up and hardly running. He was planning to go into the "Zone of Silence" and try and cross it or try and find peace and die but was captured by Immortan Joe's War Boys who fixed up the Interceptor for their own use but it was then wrecked again in the chase back to the Citadel. It is possible Max could collect the wreck and again try and repair it, with the tech at the Citadel it would be easy but who knows if he would go back there to do it.

Oh, and by the way I own a 1990 Mustang GT. With a Cervini 3 inch cowel induction hood. The car is red of course. Goggle for pictures. This is closest Ford product that resembles the old Falcon. Has the 302 small block pushrod engine that I have added performance parts, no blower and if I installed one it certainly would not stick out of the hood. How fast does it go, I don't know because the speedometer stops at 200 kps.

The Interceptor, The Pursuit Special, The Black on Black.... Either way Barry and Max kicked her in the Guts ;)

annoying voice but interesting

Heyyy can you talk even faster ???? Or maybe have something to talk about??? just asking. Please continue ....

From aerodinamics standpoint, the double wing on the back is purely nonsensical. The roof wing would make the tail wing work in 'vacuum' mening it;s not working at all.
