The War Rig from "Fury Road" was actually the original one. It was the very first and most long-lived vehicle in the Immortan Joe's armada. The one from "Furiosa" was created later and was meant as an upgraded version. It carried a wider array of weapons and could carry more supplies. As we know, it was destroyed before the Wasteland War broke out.

[@akoito771606]

I always thought Praetorian's war rig was the first

[@aaronhill8315]

The rig in furiosa is the original and first war rig. After the forty day wasteland War Immortan decided his new Imperator needed a new war rig. Moving into Fury Road is the one we see through the film.

[@antoinechery9117]

@@aaronhill8315 Nope. The official tie-in comic book tells otherwise. As I said, the War Rig from "Fury Road" was the first of the Donk's creations for the Immortan Joe. He began work on it as soon as the Citadel was taken over by Joe and the Bullet Farmer.

[@RHYANJHAMESPIAMONTE]

Out of topic but praetorian's war rig is infinitely cooler and better

[@antoinechery9117]

@RHYANJHAMESPIAMONTE I still prefer the one from "Fury Road," but the new one is objectively a more efficient war machine. Fun fact: the Prætorian Jack was most likely the original driver of Furiosa's War Rig.

[@ethantran178]

fun fact, if you pay attention to the front of the 2024 war rig, you'll find that it's really similar to the one on the people eater's limo, maybe the people eater dug up the old war rig and cannabilized it into his own vehicle after its destruction?

[@RHYANJHAMESPIAMONTE]

That's the same thing I thought

[@benjaminromero5919]

That is practically confirmed. It is also most likely that several truck parts were reused for the war rig, such as the second tanker, which is probably the one in the comic, and the twin engines that I'm sure are also the ones in the comic, a and also the black oldsmobile that explodes and falls on the war rig was probably rescued by Gastown since the same model is seen but converted into a stilt walker in Fury road, and in the game it is seen as a buullet farm vehicle if I'm not mistaken.

[@raphaelmorse6836]

[@karlogrady4907]

@@russbennett5470 I would love to see a vid on Wez’ bike from MM2 OR a vid on the interceptor before Fury road, like how it came about after being destroyed, info from the game etc. thanks

[@alexmarks7275]

@@karlogrady4907 that info already exists online... just not in video form.

[@russbennett5470]

I believe Wez’ bike is some sort of Honda made to look like a Suzuki night hawk using random junk and sheet metal as that particular model just came out at the time and they wanted something more recent looking and the rebuilt interceptor is just that. Max literally just scoured the wasteland looking for parts to rebuild it. Yes it’s the last of the V8 interceptors but it wasn’t the last ever ford falcon or V8 engine

[@saprious5273]

If you make something wasteland related, im gonna watch it. Its that simple.

[@rocketsnhotrods9022]

Stuff like this gets me fired up for wasteland weekend in September

[@HATECELL]

A neat detail about the war rig are its front fenders. They are arms from small excavators, which are also used to move the front ram plow. I'm not quite sure whether using it to create a sand cloud to fight fires was intended when it was built, or just something Furiosa came up with in that moment, but it is definitely a clever and versatile peace of kit. This way the front ram can also be used to lift up things (like maybe jack up a car that lost a wheel), or create a massive sandcloud to hide how many escorts a convoy has, make boarding more difficult, or even as a ruse to pretend a convoy is much bigger than it really is

[@somthingbrutal]

the smaller Buzzard car for me is a nod to the 1974 low budget Australian horror movie The cars that ate Paris. the lead car in that was a Volkswagen Beetle covered in large spikes

[@NikkiWrightVGM]

I feel like the Interceptor DOES appear in Beyond Thunderdome but in a barely recognizable role. At the start of the film you see Max on a wagon being pulled by camels and if you look close the wagon is made up of the chassis of the Interceptor. Guess after Road Warrior Max had to drag it with him looking for replacement parts. Could be wrong though, but it'd be one of the few good things about that dumpster fire of a movie.

[@carloshenriquezimmer7543]

True, but only the backside of it was left, you can see the two large fuel tanks. And that makes no sense, because the tanks were rigged to explode (and they did), so that part was the first that should have beying destroyed.

[@russbennett5470]

I think that was actually a 68 to 70 olds but I’ll have to find more pics as for the fuel tanks they came from a double decker tour bus that was a specific model that was used in Australia so it wouldn’t have been hard for max to find replacements for those

[@sataneatcheese6243]

I've heard that Max's wagon in Thunder Dome was made from the original interceptor. Apparently, the dash, roof line and bulk head are supposed to be from an XB Falcon plus the giant fuel tanks.

[@mrspandel5737]

Personally I feel makes more sense for the Wagon to be a modified version of Papagallo's car from the climactic Tanker Chase in Road Warrior. Its obvious to me that Max takes over that ride after Papagallo died in the climax, since the car itself didn't get damaged at all. In the final shot zooming out on Max one can see the car standing right behind him ready to go. In the context of the universe it doesn't make sense to somehow repair the exploded and burnt out Pursuit Special

[@russbennett5470]

Yeah it wouldn’t make any sense repairing that as you would need an entire body shop. But it would make sense to get another ford falcon and start from there. I doubt max would have used popagallos car for very long as there’s not much protection in it

[@thisprojectisretired1164]

Aside from Furiosa, you should do one too from Mad Max 2. That one rocket-satellite-spaceship-car thing deserve a shoutout

[@benjaminromero5919]

see mad Max 2 also has several cool vehicles my favorite is the red truck with the snake, although I also like the sports car with ambulance sirens, it is very striking

[@russbennett5470]

That one was called the lone wolf and like humongous’ vehicle it was built on a ford F-100 body. The engine in the back was only for show and never actually ran

[@liltremble623]

so glad you’re back doing ‘mad max’ just watched all your other videos last week

[@spawn_blacksmith]

I love the vehicles of the Mad Max world. My favorite 3: Max's interceptor. The Chevy Hot rod at the end of Furiousa and the War Rigs.

[@ianhughes1272]

FINALLY. someone who understands the puprpose of the doof wagon.

[@BedanTV]

6:44 Czechoslovakia does not exist since 1993. The Tatra part is correct but it is not strictly a military vehicle.

[@HATECELL]

I like how the Gigahorse is the epitome of excess. In a world where everything is scarce, what's more excessive than having 2 of the same thing? That's exactly why the gigahorse has two engines, two massive superchargers, two Cadillac bodies, twin rear wheels, and much more things in pairs. It's a subtle way of showing off Immortan Joe's wealth

[@Ragnar6000]

I actually thought Max's car {Razor Cola} looked awesome with the bare metal and beefed up suspension/tries!

[@Rockport1911]

I like the Fury Road WarRig more, its more " real" and fits MadMax better on the technical side and in its appearance. I also wish that after filming it and this awesome 1:10 model survived somewhere :)

[@DJSinisterMetal]

Would have liked you to be a bit more comprehensive and list all of the armada vehicles. The makes and models of all of the ~80 Fury Road cars and bikes are out there, as well as the nicknames the crew gave most of them -- ie the F-250 clawcar is the Sabre Tooth, the EK clawcar is the Ploughboy, the 30s Plymouth buzzard is the Plymouth Rock...

[@WhenGoatsWentBaa]

Just as a note on the Gigahorse, the engine wasn't a V16, it was two V8s side by side, connected by an absurdly complicated gearbox that had to be reshimmed every time they used it because of the sheer power of the thing They had an idea for Joe of "In a world where most don't have one of anything, he has two of everything" hence his car having two bodies, two sets of exhausts, two engines, two superchargers and so on

[@carlitosd.9699]

Yeah, these older cars are both more plentiful in junkyards, but also because they are mostly metal, they last longer and can literally be hammered back into working condition , vs new cars, which have so much delicate plastic and computerized parts that need to be replaced whole.

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

if I recall, the apocalypse and wars happen during the 1980s in the Mad Max movies, so while they're antique cars for us living in modern days, they're realistically all they have for the Mad Max world cuz there's zero car manufacturing anymore, so it makes sense and is aesthetically awesome in my opinion!

[@FartReverb_mp3]

That’s litteraly what happened. Immortal Joe found a GIANT car dealership under a dune and basically just grabbed everything he could and war boys turned it into a war party. The rest of the cars he probably stole from other people and stuff like the war rig was probably found somewhere else

Ok after understanding the movies all together i know enough about these movies and one major thing is that it’s only fury road when you are talking about Furiousa’s road. Fury road isn’t a real thing beyond telling her story. Even though in the movie it was actually more about nux and just recently with the new movie that explained that. Bottom line is the road is no one’s anymore but it can belong to the story of someone being told in the wasteland. I did some homework and i just want fans to know 1 they need to see the previous films and two for KZbinrs to understand this so that they don’t create false information for new fans. Older movies had better stories.
