Teehee, I should really be x-posting this to the circus on aus.cars. Anyway for those of us of a certain age, here's a little blast from the past. The American voiceovers are an absolute pisser.

It would be serious cool to do a mashup *bicycle friendly* version, with plenty of references to peak oil, ie: replace the motos to CT110's, the V8 Interceptor with a Prius, lots of bicycles and happy smiley people being oh-so-terribly-nice to each other in the streets.
Although if your inhouse budget doesn't run to totally reshooting the scenes, you could have a lot of fun re-voicing it all... Fight the dystopian nightmare with a bit of whimical silliness ... :p

Before I forget - replace Mel Gibson with someone else as well.
classic film that. being a westie, back then (late '70s early '80) it was cool to be riding my BMX converted dragster in some of those locations (police headquarters - now Sienceworks, Cherry Lane Altona - the 'van scene, etc...) .
In some m'cycle cycles, a ride out Ballarat way isn't complete without a doing a donut in the main street in Clunes.......

For old time's sake, don't forget a cut thru the Melb Uni carpark on the way home. 😉

I bought a German version of the DVD. I has 3 soundtracks in this order:
#1Default: Dubbed German #2 "English": Dubbed American :-o #3 "Original": Australian
The local retro cinema (Zurich) had an outdoor cinema last year with one week themed "Cars". So there we were relaxing with a beer, waiting to inflict some Aussie cultcha on the Swiss. Then it starts, German subtitles, American soundtrack. I almost cried.
** Bicycle content: this cinema/beer garden is also the hang out for Zurich couriers and their bikes.
