The last of the V8 Interceptors? Not quite…

Here’s a story from the TIMES ONLINE about Adrian Bennett, a guy who’s such a big fan of the MAD MAX movies that he built his very own Interceptor, just like Max drives.
Bennett tells the times: “From the opening credits of the first film to the closing credits of MAD MAX 2 (what THE ROAD WARRIOR was titled in the rest of the world), my jaw was on the floor, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and I was totally hooked.”
Notice, by the way, that he even has his own blue heeler cattle dog, just like Max does in the sequel. What’s more, he’d done the right thing and named it “Dog” — just like Max.
And here, just to remind you why someone would go to all the trouble to build an Interceptor, is the trailer for THE ROAD WARRIOR — still one of the greatest action movies ever made.

Mad Max is great. The idea that fascinates me most about the films is the ingenuity of people in the film to adapt their machines for survival in the future where cities are deserts. So cool.
Trying to ensure justice in a future where survival of the fittest has become the way to live doesn’t suck, either.
How near is that future? The Dudess
