Mad Max (1979) FILMING LOCATIONS 40 YEARS LATER 

Gotta be honest. Didn't expect much when I clicked on this video. But it was actually bloody brilliant!! Very entertaining. You covered all the main spots. Clearly a big Mad Max fan. Well done mate.

The Australia of 40 years ago is the Australia that I miss. It's the Australia I grew up with and it's the Australia I want to go back to.

Truly one of the best dystopian films ever made.

Best 250k budget film ever made and a childhood favorite . Thank you for your efforts .

I’m a harsh critic, I really wasn’t expecting much and was very surprised someone would take the time to make something like this , This production was absolutely bloody awesome , you’re a very passionate producer and I thoroughly enjoyed your work. Thank you for taking the time to produce something that brought so much enjoyment to many Mad Max fans. You’re a legend !!!!!

One of the all time most bad ass movies ever made. Still a masterpiece of action in Australia

Max’s wife is a old friend of mine. She taught drama at my school in the blue mountains many years ago.

1979, How the hell did that happen? That's forty one years back, unbelievable. Shit I'm getting old.

i watched this in class in a detention i had for a day and it made it good thanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed that. My mum and dad were at Seaford beach the day those scenes were filmed but they had no idea who the characters were as the Mad Max characters were unknown at the time. They had no idea this was going to be an iconic film the day they witnessed the scenes on the beach.

This is a brilliantly made and presented piece of Australian film history. Not just Mad Max but what you’ve done. Thank you so much for this. Very well done.

What an excellent presentation. I can imagine that this 20 minute video would have taken weeks to produce. I live not far from Kirk's Bridge and I liked the movie Mad Max so this was very interesting for me to watch. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to put this all together, very entertaining! Marty.

I remember working out west of Melbourne 10 years ago and a workmate and I would go on expeditions looking for Mad Max locations instead of working, the boss never found out. This video brings back memories of those times.

MadMax is a movie that inspired me to overcome difficult times in my life; it helped me to become mentally strong and also taught me how to deal with extreme situations and be steadfast in one's encounter with such a time(the chaotic time which was visualized in the MadMax movies) like this. So yes....this movie certainly is and always will be in my list of top 20 Greatest movies which was ever made. Thanks for sharing this incredible moment because it really was an emotional ride which I really enjoyed throughout the entire video.👍

This is one of the best Mad Max videos I've found so far...

I remember seeing this on VHS at home when I was 16 back in 1982. I thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen. I still watch it now and it brings back feelings that I can't explain. Thanks for uploading this. (from North east England)

Absolutely legendary ... you cracked me up .... you’ve set it up really well ...really enjoyed watching it .... thank you

Superbly Done ! From Dallas, Texas, USA !

The Western suburbs of Melbourne is a great place to film a dystopian nightmare movie because it has all the characteristics naturally

Watched this movie while I was a kid in Brazil. Saw the movie a couple of times again as an adult. Always thinking about the real locations. Impressive: even the city village where gang members arrive is real. Great job! Thanks for take us in this journey!

Over 40 years on it's amazing how much is stilll actually recognizable.

In 2018 my girlfriend and I were in the Port of Melbourne waiting for the Spirit of Tasmania to start boarding, we had a few hours to kill so we wandered down the beach. Walked right by the Halls of Justice and didn't even know it. I told her this after watching this vid and now she wants to do a Mad Max locations roadtrip.

You Sir, are an absolute legend! The time and and planning to make this epic upload is just pure awesomeness! A million thanks mate.

Well done and you did Australians proud, indeed.

Little River was were the Little River Band derived the band name - evidently while on a road trip between gigs on the way to Geelong they went past the road sign in your video and the rest is history.

When Mad Max was released I was a young guy on the RAAF based at Point Cook, near Laverton. So obviously went to see the film at the drive in, and later went around to a lot of the places used in the film. This video brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for the effort of making it. In my opinion, Mad Max (1) is still the best Australian movie ever made.

This shows how creative the camera angles are in the film. The scenes look much more romantic and desolate in the movie. Although it was obviously filmed toward the end of a dry summer. And still much older fashioned infrastructure was about. Top video!

So cool that some of the areas still look exactly the same...you know you are out in the country when nothing changes in 40 years.

The original mad Max is the defently the best of the series love the filming locations well done 🎥

As a child growing up two things made me become a car lover and a car guy It was playing Need for Speed high stakes on my PS1 and watching Mad Max over and over again I even bought myself the Mad Max's toy display car as a man now which i payed $360 for it and this video makes me happy seeing where all the iconic shots were taken all those years ago.

How about the nightclub scene where Goose hooks up with that singer? That was shot in the "Love Machine" nightclub in South Yarra, my Dad was an owner at the time. Unfortunately he passed on production credits, which Miller offered on the film. That was a big mistake...

my childhood was watching this movie and part 2 hundreds of times in the early 90’s while visiting my dad in the thickest country for the summer and having all the Arnold,mad max, back to the future and Indiana Jones movies this was an awesome video thanks for the trip down memory lane🤙🏼

Thank You For This Video. Mad Max is just awesome, and seeing these locations all these years later is surreal. Great stuff.

Saw Mad Max at the drive-in when it was released in 79, loved it so much I went back every night till they stopped showing it. Your video is excellent, well done

Wow, 1979 looks very different. I was only 5 years old. Grew up watching this movie. Great video. Well done!!

Greetings from Brazil! Awesome work, mate!!!

The "shotgun" the officer was looking through the scope was a .308 hunting rifle.

撮影現場の建物や景色がほぼ残っていて、見応え有りました。 映画ファンにとってロケ地巡りは本当に面白いです。

One of the best videos I have seen in years,so much research.outstanding

Thank you so so so so so so much for this filming location tour. I love Mad Max. It's one of my best 5 favorite movies of all time. Thank you again.

Cundalini wants his hand back 🤘🏼

Thank you very much. Being a big fan of Mad Max since it’s release, I haves seen the movie at least 100 times. furthermore living in Victoria all my life, I have tried to visit these locations. I have only managed about 70% of the locations . I applaud your endeavour and have learnt new places. Fat Nancy’s diner I would have never found. I am now inspired to visit my unvisited locations. Thanks again brilliant video!

I drive many of these roads every day and had no clue of their relevance to Mad Max. VERY COOL!

Sir, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you very very much for the great video,i love mad max since my childhood....was 1982 or 83....i was 8years old...was a beautiful time 😥

Was 13.when this came out , loved it ever since . Great work on this mate 👏

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! This Mad Max is one of my favorite movies as a kid and as an adult now. I live in Branson Missouri in the states so I probably will never be able to visit these locations myself. I enjoyed seeing what these locations look like now. Awesome!

The best movie ever made in my book and using real cars (no plastic fantastics) and real bikes Kawasaki z900s / Honda 750-4s and a Laverda Jota (no stinking Harleys)

Very very thanks! My favorite movie all Time! Great job, It must have been fantastic to drive through those places. One More Time Thank you. 

I watched this film first time with some friends in a cinema in Germany .... We all went there with our motorcycels, mine was a Yamaha XT500 .... I remeber the szene we drove home since today ... Wheelies and burnouts the whole way home ... What a good time these 80`s, miss them really hard. Sorry for my weak english ....

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that Max wasn't Mad to begin with..

Thank you for making this film. You were absolutely correct @4:51 Australian cinema history. Not only the characters, dialogue and cars make this film, but as you have highlighted, the locations are iconic also. Well done! "Anything you say." "Anything I say, What a wonderful philosophy you have."

Greetings from Scotland, Superb film, brought back many happy memories. VHS tapes, adjusting the tracking, All tapes must be rewound before you return them to the video shop. Bubba was my favorite character, I remember asking my mum if I could get my hair bleached blonde like him hahahaha. Thank you so much for this skillfully presented, shot, and edited wee film. All the best.

One of the best car accion movies of history ever !!!!!! Thankyou Mr paul

im from mexico..i saw this rilm in 1979 and i still enjoy.. don't need millions and millions to make great movies..!!! thank you

Nice work! I was born in 77 so this brings back memories as a child!

That was pretty interesting. You did a great job showing this. Mad Max is one of my all time favorite movies.

Thank youuuuu !! Quarantined at home, just watched the movie, again, and then found your video ! Wouldnt have ever seen this without it, thank you ! :)

An excellent demonstration of historical film media. Job well done

I like how you added the dramatic tension when you were driving your car over the same bits of road...especially when the truck bombs over the hill to pulverize Toe Cutter into toe jam. Thank you!

from japan mad max 大ファン！ 感動した！！！ オーストラリアに行く機会あれば 是非行ってみたい 夢をありがとう！🤗

Gold👌 my brother and I have found about half these locations, amazing effort to uncover and document everything. Very entertaining video, thank you 👊

Really enjoyed this. I was 22 when Mad Max was filmed. I remember visiting Craigieburn Auto Wreckers around that time to pick up some parts for my HR and seeing the track that in the movie leads to a beach. The track actually just goes down to the back boundary fence of the wreckers. The old car that some guy was working under in the movie was also there when I went to wreckers.

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.

Absolutely brilliant, I will visit all these places when I return to Australia, Mad Max my all time favourite movie.

Thank you for this! Many fans around the world will never be able to travel to see these locations

@phagl Productions Just so you know the scene where Max drops the Tyre off to be repaired near the Beach is actually the old Craigieburn Wreckers in Sydney Road/Hume Hwy Craigieburn and the Goose Introduction scene was filmed just up the road in Wallan as you mention. The scene where Beno lives that House is in Mount Ridley Road Craigieburn and is still there, Scenes from Phar Lap were also filmed there

Well done mate that was brilliant. I pass through “Emu Creek Bridge” regularly and every time I think of MAX. Thanks for doing this video....

One of my favourite all time films! This was brilliant mate.

This was the first movie I rented out the video shop in 1982 Watched it all Day on repeat

That was cool showing the old locations from the movie. Mad Max is still a great movie ! Australia is an Awesome place. Thx again. 👍👍

Best movie ever... You did a great job I got to see lots of places other guys leave out.. The restaurant were goose leaves is pretty cool never saw it on other videos before.. 👍👍

Great video, of an incredible film. My Dad had the original Australian version on VHS around '83, I found it quite terrifying as a little kid. Me and my brother got cop outfits for our birthdays and wrote MFP all over them.

Thanks so much for this mate. The first film is still my favourite. I really appreciate your pilgrimage. Nice one!

I was 12 when i saw the movie for the first time....on new years eve. It's still a tradition here to broadcast a movie couple of hours before new years eve . 🎇🎆 Saw some film history here and was entertaining...Nice work done👍

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe!!!! :) I’m originally from India and mad max was one of my fav movie growing up in the 80s.. Thx mate!!!

41 years on climate change has saved Melbourne from the drought

Love the detail "While Bubba swats a fly"

Outstanding job. You did justice to that phenomenal movie.

this was FABULOUS! OMG wish I lived there! Thank you for al of this work.

That was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the movie as a kid. Thank you for your time. 👍

Its amazing to see all the extra vegetation. I thought the end of the world is upon us

Very well done! Not only did you research it and find the key places, the narrator was entertaining. It's funny how certain places change dramatically over time and others not at all.

Great job! Australia seems a beatifull place. I'll hope know it some time. Regards.

Just came across this now. Really enjoyed this. Big fan of the movie and this was brilliant. Thank you.

I remember when this movie hit the US market, I loved it and Thank you for showing me this...Awesome!

That was fantastic I just met my friend from Australia I’m at Doorman🤔🤔🚪🚪 in Manhattan I thought it was great what you did it was really classic thank you thank you so much keep up the good work I can’t wait to see you do the Road warrior Thunderdome

Man, way to go for what you've done! Never change these objects! A big greeting from Serbia 👍

MadMax is one of my favorite movies, legendary!☝️ Better than the computer graphic trash Hollywood puts out today.

Awesome film. Thanks for taking the time to show us these filming locations. Really enjoyed it.

I loved that house where Max & his wife lived. I live close by the dunes in Belgium and already had an affinity with houses in dunes. Great movie and probably one of the first 5 movies i had seen as a child when the vcr came out. Allong with the movies The Warriors and The Emerald Forrest. They are etched upon my memory...lol Thanx for taking us on an arm chair trip through movie histoy !!

not just a revisit of the famous locations, but a whole little movie about it haha, well done!

I remember going to the Frankston drive in the Friday it was released, before the film got censored. Great Aussie move it was, then after the cuttings it was never the same. good coverage of the locations here.

Have to agree with the comments. That was outstanding, a great watch and brilliantly put together. Superb work sir 👏 👍 👌

What a little nugget this video is , thank you .

This was great. My favorite movie of all time.

The only thing that could of made this video better is if you we're driving a nice V8 of some sort.

Seriously, there should be signs/plaques marking these places

Top job mate thanks heaps. Mad Max 1, the best movie ever.

Fantastic video! Seeing fresh prints of Mad Max and The Road Warrior back to back at American Cinematic Egyptian theatre was epic.

I loved this film as a kid ! Actually I still do . Thanks for this video , so happy there’s traces remaining today .
