No, no, it's all true. Everyone knows his real name. He's a body builder/trainer still and is back in Sweden again and runs a gym. He is well known for being in the film, ie. you can train with The Humungus, stuff like that.

I still get a kick out of it but it's just this guys father, though not many guys have a doll of their dad, ha ha.

all I hope for this movie is that it puts some money into the australian film industry and opens the doors for other ambitious productions that would not have been undertaken due to too much risk, I also feel that the aust. film industry is capable of alot more than their body of work shows, but lack of resources is pinning them back. When this changes I feel we will see some truly awesome movies made right here.

Being a good movie would be an awesome plus as well.

Mad Max, fantastic movie that has reached cult status, was at the drive in when it first came out, un-forgettable night!!! Five stars....

Mad Max 2, was ok, good for a laugh, although unlike the original not a movie I would go out of the way to see again. Two and a half stars....

Mad Max 3, totally unwatchable, absolute c**p. No stars!!

Mad Max 4, hoping for something that does the original justice, but after MM2 + 3 I must admit I cringed when I first heard of MM4....

This is one of a handful of Aussie films to make it big internationally and this DVD release is long overdue. Bring everyone back for a commentary (stars, car mechanics, composer, director, etc), do a "making of" docu and organise a Ford coupe fan club event to be video'd for it.

Doco / Making of Mad Max 1 is already done, will be realeased in the near future, will be well worth watching, lots of behind the scenes footage and photos, interviews with cast and crew etc. Making of Mad Max 2 is underway currently.

Our planet has never and will never loose any water, we still retain the exact same amount of moisture within our atmosphere as it had 20 bijillion years ago.

You forgot to add that Hobbits will never evolve, elves will not come out of hiding and they will never find a Stargate!!!
