    I have to admit that I've done that from time to time.

    Mad Max (an Australian movie which I believe was re-recorded in the American accent in its first release in the States) is apparently a bit of a benchmark for the car chase/crash genre - and an influence on Quentin Tarantino if what I read is to be believed.

    DVD is great - pause - slow mo - makes it all the more interesting because there's no CGI. Just brave souls who lived on the edge for the camera.

    Cheers.

    When the Goose hops on his MFP Bike and goes smokin down that highway stop the DVD and look at the tach and speedo. Its the real deal he was cookin down the road. I saw an interveiw that they said that they did not realize the bike was going that fast unitil they were editing the film. Check it out.

    Search Road warrior. There is a group who dress up and drive around. Cool costumes. Look for two dudes dressed up in a miata! I nearly pissed myself laughing. True survivor bikes and cars.

    so, at 9:30 of the clip right after the Night Rider crests the hill, whats the flames coming from the rear valance of the car?

    its not excess gas from the exhaust, its coming from right below the boot lid...

    Just checked out Mad Max Movies . com and the flame out the back of Night Riders car was a solid fuel rocket. It says if you look close there are no passengers in the car when that stunt was done.

    If you like Mad Max for the bikes, you should try and track an earlier Oz movie called STONE. It was made in 1974 and is about a biker gang that only rides Kawasaki Z1's. It's a cult classic with Oz bikers.

    There's a funeral procession scene in the movie where the coffin is carried on a racing side-car outfit and it is followed by hundreds of Z1's down the highway. Awesome. 8O
    Also has an amazing stunt where a bike (and rider) goes off a cliff into the ocean.
