ahhh...sorry, missed the humour....actually, the final scene when max has chained that dude to the car & is walking away...you see the explosion in the background?.....was filmed about 5 mins ride from my place.....(now you can sleep tonight!)
So, Wattsy needs to set the scene...Pete (aka Wattsy) is on the second last day of Higway Patrol (pursuit) Training. Everything's fast and furious for the course, so being the 'expert' that I am, I'm screaming around Broady, Sunbury etc at rediculous speeds (yeah, I know, I used to love this part of the job
) and the instructor took me down a road and says "how bout I show you where Mad Max was filmed?" ***** YEAH!!... what he didn't tell me as I rounded the top of the hill that goes down into this gully is that the the top corner was rated at 40kph...Wattsy approached the corner at 140kph and then after hearing the 'girly man' instructor screaming "BRAKES! BRAKES! BRAKES!". I was able to wash off about 50kph and some how was able to get around the corner. We came a little close to the edge of the round and a farily substantial drop off. Man I used to love that job some times!!
