  • REEL STREETS OF MELBOURNE - EPISODE 9
    George Miller's original Mad Max was filmed around the outskirts of Melbourne and the country towns of Victoria.
    I set out to do what many Australians have done before me and visit as many the the locations as possible.
    It turned out to be a long drive.
    Mad Max was released in 1979 and has gone on to be a classic Australian film.
    Some of this information I got from madmaxmovies.com provided on their site.
    Edited by Paul Hagl.
    Music by Brian May.

      i did try it , on a bmx bike though, and then the idea was to upgrade to a car.
      i got a chain and initially tried to whip it around my mates handle bars while he rode holding only the other handle bar so i wouldn't hit his hand
      the chain would never catch on, so i gave up
      i was totally disappointed LOL
      later.... i wondered why this wouldn't happen and i discovered how a sling (not slingshot) works
      i made a sling out of a chain and 2 big nuts on either end and practiced throwing it at a tree, i eventually learned how to aim with it and i got pretty good at nailing it every time , what can i see, ninja movies were big at that time
      i then understood why cundalini couldn't have done what he did
      i also never understood, if he ripped off his wrist, where was all the blood and pain. he would've been dead from the blood loss and screaming from the pain.

    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.

      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!?

    • @artistjoh
      @artistjoh Před 4 lety +3

      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.

My dad drove 30 miles away(we lived on a rural greyhound farm) to rent the Road Warrior from a video store in a mall , as it happened he misplaced the tape and when we finally found it and went to return it we found that the video store had closed down!, so we were stuck with it I watched it and loved it and heard there was a previous movie called Mad Max and I wanted to see it< A year or 2 later we now had a local video rental store 6 miles away in the nearby town , one weekend a friend and I rented a copy of Mad Max and l was hooked since then ! It is great to finally see all the places that it was filmed some 40 years later not too much seems to have changed! Amazing work . From a Mad Max film fan from the US ......GREAT MATE!
