MadMax is a movie that inspired me to overcome difficult times in my life; it helped me to become mentally strong and also taught me how to deal with extreme situations and be steadfast in one's encounter with such a time(the chaotic time which was visualized in the MadMax movies) like this. So yes....this movie certainly is and always will be in my list of top 20 Greatest movies which was ever made.

[@topace9210]

This shows how creative the camera angles are in the film. The scenes look much more romantic and desolate in the movie. Although it was obviously filmed toward the end of a dry summer. And still much older fashioned infrastructure was about. Top video!

[@donteatthebread]

A few comments about that. Some of the fields have been converted to Canola (the yellow fields) which wasn't widely grown in Victoria at that time. It was only first grown in Australia in the early 70's and that was mainly in WA. Took a long time for Vic farmers to convert. Yes the landscape does look greener in the modern footage, so that may be a seasonal thing. There are a lot more trees and weeds in the modern footage too. More intensive agriculture means noxious weeds have spread more easily and I suppose in response to that, Landcare groups have planted more trees (Landcare only having been established in 1986), but clearing the roadside weeds is much more difficult than planting native trees. In that last scene it looks like a lot of blackberry or something has replaced grass. Maybe the crew tramped the blackberry in!?

Wow, 1979 looks very different. I was only 5 years old. Grew up watching this movie. Great video. Well done!!

[@artistjoh]

slip 2018 Even in 1979, they would have spent weeks looking for places that looked suitably run-down. It is not so much that 1979 looked like that, but it was shot to a visual style. Even today you could find locations that are equally neglected and old-fashioned looking, but those sorts of places are rare. Besides, locations are “dressed” to give a certain look. I live in the Sydney CBD/Kings Cross area where lots of films are made, including ending up being a passer-by in Two Hands during a street scene take, and I walked past the filming of high rise scenes in the first Matrix movie. And if you know The Wolverine from 2013, the scene where he is on a balcony in the rain is on the 5th floor of my apartment building. My street and the lane were turned into streets in Tokyo, and I watched them shooting a lot of the stunts suspended by wire from a crane at the side of my building. I have to admit, my 1980 apartment building really did look like it was in Tokyo.

[@tylerskiss]

I know here in the US, the area where I grew up would be unrecognizable to people today. I grew up in farm country and had huge sprawling areas of just empty lands, nearly all of it sold off and built up until today it looks like any other busy town.

Excellent video about one of my all-time favorite films, well done! :) A few fun facts, for those who don't know: -The blue Mazda Bongo van that gets smashed into by the cops chasing the Night Rider, belonged to director George Miller. He donated it to the film because the budget had almost run out. -The farmhouse (near where Jessie & Sprog are murdered by the Toecutter's gang) was located near Campbelltown, New South Wales, south-west of Sydney (totally understandable, Paul, that you didn't drive there from Melbourne - for those overseas or from other parts of Australia, that's about a 12-hour drive!) -The stuntman who comes off his bike on Kirk's Bridge later in the film & gets hit in the head by the front wheel of his own bike - amazingly, he walked away unharmed (!) -Most of the bikers in the Toecutter's gang were real bikers from local motorcycle clubs in the State of Victoria, such as the Barbarians, the Vigilantes, and the Victorian Four Owners Club. -The small budget of the original Mad Max film meant that only 80% of the scheduled car chase scenes were able to be shot.

neat video, some things have changed a lot over the years especially all the extra trees that have grown up. the dead dry grass in the movie made it look more apocalyptic, when you were there the green grass made things look nice and peaceful. its still a fun movie to watch and i do have it on DVD

Good job mate. As a 13 year old growing up in Geelong (Corio) my mates and I heard they were shooting scenes for a movie on the road between Corio and Lara, along with a few dirt locations at the back of Corio. Once they were finished we used to ride our bicycles in search of where they shot. We found a few as the huge burnout and donut marks on the road were a dead giveaway 😉

I was 12 when i saw the movie for the first time....on new years eve. It's still a tradition here to broadcast a movie couple of hours before new years eve . 🎇🎆 Saw some film history here and was entertaining...Nice work done👍
