This is a review in response to the review already posted. It is clear that the reviewer of that review missed the point of this movie. It never professed to be a bio on Mad Max. The description clearly states what the movie is about "A band of Mad Max devotees build their own replica interceptor, drive it across the desert...etc". There are several independant reviews on the web and the majority are very very favourable. "This movie is best enjoyed with a few beers!" "You don't have to be a Mad Max fan but it helps!!!" The destruction of various street vehicles at the films climax has to be seen to be believed. There is nothing else like it on film. If a "reviewer" who doesn't have a broad view of films, documentaries, reality based programs etc has an opinion then they should frame their response in a way that reflects the content at hand. Focusing on emotions such as anger offer very little to other potential viewers. It would be a shame if people passed on this for the wrong reasons. A reality based independant review can be found at: [...]
The many positive feedback reviews of the movie on [...] are also testament.

Thoroughly enjoyed this reality doco meets road movie hybrid! The characters are dedicated Road Warrior fan boys on the trail of the fabled wreckage of the original Interceptor from Mad Max and the Road Warrior movies. Obviously spontaneous,taking the piss and unscripted it delivers continuous comedic moments as the boys run the gauntlet of dodgy outback locals, film nazis and one pissed off stripper. Loosing a bit of cred with the fake accents and hollywood hairdos, the film picks up the pace again as it culminates at the zenith of Mad Max and aussie road race culture on thunder road at Mt Panaorama with some of the wildest footage of the mountain at night. A film for true believers.

I liked it enough to feel I wasnt ripped off. The fellas with a mach-up of the last V-8 cruising about in Australia, searching for the original interceptor and seeing some of the landscapes from the movie. Low tech hillbillies like me can relate. The cars being manually destoyed and burned by regular party types was pretty neat. I know from expierience that swinging a sledge or a steel pipe at a vehicle can be educational as well as therpeutic.

yea so a couple guys got together to shoot a doc - that's ok enough if you understand what it takes to make a film (the editing, the lighting / time of day / shot angles) but the guys totally miss the mark of trying to make it fun for anybody else watching. I'm sure it was fun to make, but really, in total it was lame. The Bathurst scenes are pretty crazy because people are throwing Molotov cocktails back and forth at each other. They do interview a guy that has a real Interceptor, but they never pop the hood to show the supercharger. Indeed it works since they can barely speak over the whine, but still, besides those two parts, there's no other stars - hence my rating

I bought this video interested with the premise of the DVD, a documentary on tracking the story of Mad Max through the actual locations where the movie was shot and people who were around when it was filmed.

THE VIDEO DOES NOT DELIVER AND THEREFORE I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT.

The DVD amounts to nothing more than a few guys riding around and cracking jokes. Very little information on the making of Mad Max and just when the plot became interesting the film-makers do not deliver the goods.

Go back to the drawing board guys and spend more time getting real interviews and footage.

The scenes involving burning rubber sucked!!

You also need to add a soundtrack to the video and add sound to the opening screen. Get a script and reshoot it.

Looked like a college classroom assignment gone wrong
