Mad Max, The Last V8 Interceptor

[@elizabethscott7660]

My first husband's mate built the cars for Mad Max and my second husband bought an old xb coupe, painted it black and rebuilt the motor to the max. Cops used to pull me over just to have a look. I miss the beast.

[@kyle12367]

Build another black on black, mine is going to be a mercedes e500 with a supercharger fitted in a w124 coupe series body jet black and chromed maybe lifted slightly in the rear

[@melgibson202]

They say people don't believe in heroes anymore.

[@josem.figueroajr.4532]

Mel Gibson We'll give them back their heroes.

[@P90F55]

I say they're wrong

[@theincrediblehulk5797]

They are wrong

[@blueschewy2558]

How revenge was meant to be served. With four wheels and raw anger.

[@rofyle]

If ever a franchise cried for a rebirth, Mad Max is it.

[@feb196940]

the return of the old man max rocketansky would be great !

[@smnbee75]

the V8 Pursuit Special. 4 wheeled vengeance personified.

[@AllistarDreemurr]

+Simon Bee You sir win best comment! :D

[@kyle12367]

Have you ever heard of the term nemesis

[@b25364]

Then the third best bit is in that same chase after the blue van gets taken out, Charlie says to Roop: "We're really gonna' get it this time, he had his indicator on!"

[@SparrowNoblePoland]

Driving a car without a an air filter in a country consisting mainly of deserts... What can go wrong? Also, the rear spoiler isn't functional, because the roof spoiler blows all air away, causing the rear spoiler to been in area of vacuum. Whoever designed the car, had no idea about aerodynamics.

[@fifthrider]

Good job on the choice of song and the editing for the audio.

[@robbiethepict2783]

'Kick her in the guts Barry'.

[@isaachaze1]

i like what people do with stuff like this, and they put a lot of work in on it. i've seen the movie a hundred times and can watch it anytime i want, so i dont worry about people creating their own stuff

[@roywhiteo5]

aw man the best thing about the interceptor is the engine sound

[@jebitesesvi09]

I give you Oscar for this video and music .

[@Wrangler1939]

Man, this video is so so so GREAT!! Thanks!! God bless the Interceptor!

[@angst206]

gooood efforts, man! next vid. do one of the opening scene from Road Warrior, the blower scene, not much on time but still it absolutely says it all about max or anyone who values motor power, a suggestion, thanks. Well done.

[@neogoth2012]

What a classic. One of the meanest cars ever. Thats a badass. Excellant stuff. Nice.

[@ultimatemadmaxcar]

His name is Dale B and he's alive and well....just spoke with him on the phone last night actually. He never even got hurt in that scene. he's also the same stuntman that did the famous circle burnout and the burnout on Gooses bike. Nobody died during production

[@ultimatemadmaxcar]

All's cool.....stories often get 'bumped up' over time. You're a lucky man to have met Joanne !!

[@craigthomson3272]

I saw this car once in a car museum, meet your heroes, bucket list day.

[@TheJoeBeshai]

You know what sux? Not only the fact that this car is so rare ill never be able to drive it or prolly even see it in person in my life time. But i cant even drive this damn car in a video game.

[@rileyblomfield1888]

That just changed!

[@TheJoeBeshai]

Cheese Muppet Yes it did! lol finally

[@TheBbrian100]

+Fred “Bananatreelobster” Potter what game can you drive this in?

[@rileyblomfield1888]

+TheBbrian100 The new Mad Max game, I finished it and the Interceptor from Mad Max 2/Fury Road was in my vehicle collection!

[@TheJoeBeshai]

Yeah i love driving the Interceptor in Mad Max. Looks Exactly the same as the interceptor in Road Warrior fucking awesome.

[@dalewootton]

Nice info mate. didn't know that where did you get the info from.

[@PatrolmanDark]

He did not die, he's still perfectly fine. He doesn't even remember getting smacked in the head. That's the value of helmets.

[@tbobborap1]

f,,,,,,,g awesome ! takes me back to when i saw it in the cinema , brilliant sound track , thanks for sharing with us regards from the uk .

[@Phil_Taz]

We're gonna give em back their heroes Max!

[@FalconGTH0]

As for the movie car, the blower was mounted and elevated over a standard 4BBL carb. The "spin" was made possible by an electric motor. In the video, the yellow bucket inside the engine bay is hiding the motor. The case of the blower was hollow.

[@tunastrike11]

What a sweet sound

[@paulconnett3654]

I've heard this classic put to some other Mad Max movie. And I love it!! It's music you listen to before going into War.x Cheer's 🇬🇧

[@StanleyKu]

The "breathing" sound of the engine starting is worthy of a ringtone!

[@nigeh5326]

What an engine noise and that blower Jeeeezzz :-)

[@neurosisfan]

100% right. A blower is on all the the time. It can't be disengaged, then "activated" when you want it. After all, the belt that runs it is the belt that runs the whole engine, right? They did that for effect in the movie. It kind of works, because of the cool sound they use for the blower. What a fuckin tough looking car, though, right?

[@xatanos]

El Batimovil, los autos de rapidos y furiosos, son carritos recortables de papel al lado de esta bestia negra, el mejor automovil visto enla historia del cine..... Saludos de Lima Perú.

[@351Shelley]

Pure magic :) this movie will never die.

[@Mechknight73]

@MegaAngel85 They built 2. One was a promotions car, the other is the one you see in the movie. There's always persistent rumours that a third was built, and the closest I've heard to verifying it was a replica builder in Perth named Gordon Hayes. Allegedly a third was to be built, were about halfway through it, and they changed their mind. He did a stunningly accurate replica that sits in a museum

[@NCSWIC24]

Awesome video...A huge thanks for putting that together!!!

[@neogoth2012]

Thanks for posting. I cant stop watching. Its Awsome. Wow. Spot on.

[@addemoto]

I believe you are thinking of the stuntman whom tragically was killed after a motorcycle jump. You can see the front wheel of his bike hitting his head as he comes down. He broke his neck. The director decided to leave it in the film to honour his memory. But I too am very impressed by the sheer amount of "death and destruction" they managed to pull off in this film. All in the days before CGI...

[@jonathanpinckney9227]

I listened to "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC while watching this,it fit so darned well.

[@piotrlis]

Most badass car ever!

[@pecamino]

True. The sound of the engine is better than any music.

[@tatankawolf]

cool tribute, music suits it well. especially with a lot of the scenes.

[@MrTrevithick]

Superb many thanks for a perfect mix.

[@YoShImUrA53]

Yeah, I believe this voices here are from the original version of the movie, what we got elsewhere sounded dubbed, probably for non-Aussies. Don't think it's that hard to understand, tho...

[@rumerboyz]

I like how you added that great song. What's the name of the song and artist?

[@GendoPrime]

it was painted on as part of an agreement that the producers wouldn't damge the truck in that scene.

[@zk2022]

good movie, good music. thx the up ;)

[@pjladyfox]

GrubcoMedia: Personally, I thought the music choice was PERFECT. This video is about the car itself not the movie 'tho I have to admit hearing that engine rev a few more times would'nt hurt *swoons*. I for one would love to be behind the wheel of a genuine 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe listening to this. ^_^

[@ultimatemadmaxcar]

No electric motor was used to spin the belt. I've talked with Murray Smith who built the car for the movie. They simply added a longer belt over the idler pulley that was mounted to the swingarm when they needed it "ON". Whne you see the shot where it appears to be getting 'switched on' it's nothing more than the car being started. There was also NO 90 degree elbow on the dizzy. Not sure where you got your info from

[@ishaan14]

I loved the movie, but this clip was fucking brill, Black Betty really suited the film, well done man, good make! One I shall recommend to many!

[@BenPass12]

Never heard that version of Black Betty before, it's better than the original by far. Great video.

[@lilacang123]

big fan of Mad Max, waiting to see part 4.

[@ZiplineShazam]

Fantastic. Nitro Burnin' Go Juice on da low down crank shaft repetition.

[@finntastique3891]

That's one wicked machine. I just love it!

[@Mechknight73]

@Roodosutaa Yes, but it's a 302 or 351 under there. They just chucked that in the script to make it sound more technically advanced

[@Phil_Taz]

I don't care if half of it is fake... I drove a coupe belonging to a relative back in 1980 and there is no feeling like it! Dream car, blown or not... Made you feel like king of the road.

[@leckmich0815a]

Interesting... I saw Mad Max here in germany on TV and also bought it on VHS back in the late '90s. Both versions are apparently cutted; in none of them the death of Toe Cutter was shown like here (overrun by truck)

[@wallaroo1295]

Don't sweat it man - loved the soundtrack. Perfect fit.

[@Mechknight73]

@stegaflaps Peter Arcadipane? He's the one that penned the design for the HQ series Belmont, Kingswood, Premier, Monaro and Statesman

[@FalconGTH0]

As for the Max car or any other attempt at a "switchable" supercharger, the mileage isnt even relevant. What prevents it from working as shown is the lack of a bypass. Cant get air into the engine if the inlet is blocked by stationary s/c rotors. You need a bypass path with a movable vane or some other air door or some method of allowing the rotors to spin freely inside the case when the s/c is not engaged. That method, however, would create a ridiculous lag and turtle slow acceleration.

[@ImsorryAnakin]

The beast has been unleashed.

[@banditpredator]

Very nice video!

[@271chrissy]

straight to replay when finished wow.

[@madmax3064]

It's very good !!!

[@XXSkunkWorksXX]

Normally I would throw my laptop out of the window if I happened upon a youtube clip where someone had had the temerity to dub out the sound of a supercharged V8 with music but that somehow works. Touch of nice editing too, so I'll let the music go - but don't EVER do it again you hear?! ;)

[@MrGoblin60]

I almost bought an XB Hardtop 351GT in 1982 but thought the $4,500 price too expensive!! Oh the regrets!

[@Rossalloyd2003]

Timeless Classic!

[@uwti]

Bad ass!!! Music goes perfect!

[@ultimatemadmaxcar]

@0Zolrender0 The stuntmans name is Daleand was completely unhurt in that scene. I talk with him frequently on facebook and have made an occasional phone call

[@yesiamtom12]

Yeah, ive heard this too. The bucket at the very start (when max first sees the v8 interceptor) is to cover up the electric motor! also technically the car is a pursuit special, although i dont think that really makes any difference! I would love to hear the original sound of that car, i thought the side pipes were real...just they dubbed sound over the top ?

[@kyldaz]

nice vid mate,love xb falcons

[@WardyLion]

@LeCutter Too right, mate! the first time I saw this film, I actually goggled the same time Max did at the mention of "600 horsepower through the wheels!" 600 at the wheels?!? That's, what, 650 - 675 at the flywheel easy! I want one! Wardy

[@TheBbrian100]

awesome can you get it at the beginning or something?

[@mentalmaxwell]

Best Video ive ever seen :D lol Great Job ;)

[@StanleyKu]

@0Zolrender0 I assume you mean the biker in the orange helmet who got hit in the back of the head. I read somewhere that he was knocked out but was revived shortly after and was okay. Are you sure about this? I would think they would have omitted the scene if he had died.

[@WardyLion]

I always love that moment where the mechanic states "600 Horsepower through the wheels..." as my o.O was perfectly synchronised with Mel's when I first saw this film!

[@feb196940]

Old man max rocketansky need to find the burned up wrecked interceptor and reconstruct from the chasis to the body no nitrous can out run it this time

[@NoahSpurrier]

“He's in a coma, man! He loves it.”

[@TheGervarod]

best Australian ford ever to be built only one of a kind we have cheers mates.

[@angst206]

they left out the best line, ''THE BLOWER MANNNN, THE BLOWEEEERRR!"

[@dalewootton]

has anyone else noticed the fake bullbars and lights on the big rig that kills toecutter at the end

[@Crazyone4u2]

Very well done

[@demonmonsterdave]

I love the car more than the guy probably.

[@DobermansRock]

Fuckin good video. I loved those movies. Especially since we are on the brink of road warrior.

[@xavierpatel3126]

Should have not got rid of the interceptor so quickly in the reboot.

[@LimpitsReef]

Type "mad max car" into a google search and you will find a website with all the info you would ever want on this car.

[@thetreblerebel]

love it man

[@MrSoprano0125]

I ...... FREAKING...... WANT ONE!!!!

[@danbit5]

hope that stunt rider with red helmut wasnt injured, that was a nasty hit he took.

[@FalconGTH0]

Actually, youre not completely correct. Late 80s Toyota MR2 was supercharged, with a clutch driven blower that engaged and disengaged, controlled by the ECU.

[@ultimatemadmaxcar]

Sorry, this was a reply to an earlier post that the guy getting hit on the head with the bike wheel got killed

[@superg3962]

Nice job!

[@mellowoutdude]

Such a rad video.

[@southport97]

Piece from here, piece from there.

[@dumaramutsi]

i just wanted to hear the fuckin car :(

[@banditpredator]

@DANTHEBLACKBARON It isn't a Trans Am, too. It is a Ford Falcon XB ;)

[@angst206]

Sound ROCKS, GrubcoMedia!! no fear! play it and post like ya wanna! Max and even Wez (2) would love that sound. Fear not and turn it up!

[@kludd28]

Niiice film! Very cool.

[@tmlafrance]

laahst of vee oyts, love that accent. BTW need to check out the motorhead vid of ace of spades over Max scenes.

[@GeneralG1810]

Aw man I wanted to hear the guy say "A pppiece from here a pppiece from there" and look at the plate MFP= Macquarie Fields Police LOL

[@klavss76]

In a world with a total scarce of fuel a V8 doesn't make much sense, I mean they shoud switch to segways or stuff like that, but of course that wouldn't be Mad Max anymore LOL.

[@StanleyKu]

@gjc82071 I would add "Shaker", the modified pink/black Trans-Am from Shaker Run to that list. It was very bad ass!

[@dia8elle8aid]

Epic win sir :)

[@stezii]

impressive stunts 5/5
