Movie Cars: Mad Max Fury Road


If you like movies about post apocalyptic wastelands, then Mad Max Fury Road is a movie for you. This movie was honestly a super cool one and I enjoyed watching it. What definitely stands out in this movie are the super crazy cars and vehicles that are used. The production designer and art director of the film, Colin Gibson, was in charge of all the super cool vehicles. He wanted cars that had style and something he would think that would have been salvaged in this wasteland, unlike a simple Honda Civic, etc. Gibson and a bunch of teams of mechanics created 150 crazy apocalyptic vehicles, that is an insane amount of heavily armored cars. What is even cooler is all the stunts in the movie were real so unfortunately a lot of the beasts were destroyed.

Let’s get into some detail on some of the cars.


1. Mad Max’s Interceptor

Played by Tom Hardy, Max drove a 1974 XB Ford Falcon Coupe which was also used in the first films with Mel Gibson. 


2.Furosia and her War Rig

Played by Charlize Theron, Furosia drove a huge truck. A Czechoslovakian Tatra and a Chevy Fleetmaster combined together to be a 6 wheel drive 18 wheeler. The rig also carried a huge fuel tank. 

3.Doof Warrior’s Doof WagonThis is my favorite vehicle from the movie. It’s a huge vehicle which housed a massive amount of subwoofers and featured a stage with lighting for the Doof Warrior. There was a cord suspended in the front for him to hang on and play his electric guitar that flames would come out of. The Doof Wagon is pictured above. 

Thank you again for reading another segment of movie cars. We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center hope you have a great weekend!!
