replies: text: Are you sure about the ultimate fate of the MM2 car?  A friend of mine who lives in Texas now owns it (either the original or an insanely accurate fake) - I've sat in it - heard that huge supercharger running.  It has the signatures of several of the actors and stuntmen inside and appears utterly authentic - except that it has been fitted with an aftermarket air conditioner.  Here is a photo I took of it at the White Rock Lake car show in April this year (2006)... . SteveBaker 19:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

text: If those headlights are not XC Fairmont, then they're doing a bloody good imitation of being XC Fairmont. Why would you go to the trouble of fitting custom rectangular headlights that look exactly like stock rectangular headlights? (Yes the original mad max car has rectangular headlights. Not even sure if the car pictured is the original though) Where is the evidence that the original car was a GT? Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference since it was so highly modified it's only the shell of a stock car, but still you're claiming it, so where is the evidence? The headlights are prima facie evidence that it isn't a GT. Xpusostomos (talk) 07:57, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion

message: The article states that it was only called an interceptor in Mad Max 2. But Max's first car at the beginning of the movie has Interceptor written on it. Isn't that the real source? 81.182.237.202 (talk) 22:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sometimes in movies things are not explicit and it is necessary to make some logical inferences. All the MFP cars were interceptors as the fictional Main Force Patrol would be equivalent to real "highway patrol" police divisions (i.e. they deal with traffic on highways mostly and don't deal with "regular" street crime, for instance, in Australia, the highway patrol is a separate branch from general duties policing). Some of the interceptors were modified for more performance and chosen because they were sports cars (in the case of the Mad Max films, both 2 door coupes) and these more hotted up sporty and better handling models were the Pursuit Specials. IMHO that's the general way the producers intended the viewers to perceive things. Ironmungy (talk) 16:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed in the original movie that some of the 4 door yellow sedan MFP cars are labelled "Interceptor" and one was even labelled "Pursuit", but generally that seems right for the pursuit specials.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.56.31.175 (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not an Interceptor? 

message: The article uses both "Night rider" and "Knight rider". I'm assuming it's "Night rider" as I can't see him calling himself a knight but just wanted to check before editing.Falcon5nz (talk) 10:37, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Driver of stolen Pursuit Special

message: In the Story section it is stated that the Pursuit Special is repainted silver when the war boys rebuild it, but it actually looks like it has been taken back to bare metal as this still shot seems to reveal? And also this one shows the sanding marks even better. You can see what look like sanding marks in the bare metal. Thought I'd get some consensus before editing. 5.56.31.175 (talk) 16:42, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Update - According to MadMaxWikia the Fury Road interceptor was indeed bare metal and has a name after the war boys rebuild it, "Razor Cola". Therefore I will go ahead and edit the article appropriately. 5.56.31.175 (talk) 09:18, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
