Then you had vehicles like Cranky Frank, which lived up to its name by tormenting its driver with ridiculously poor visibility. This Holden Ute began as a father-son rat rod construction that was recruited in the movie. It was built in a central driving position with a cut roofline that reduces the windshield to a seven-inch gap.
It gets worse when you sit down and realize the steering wheel is directly behind a huge GM 8V92 supercharger with truck exhaust tips for a nozzle hat. Not being able to see where you are going unless you drive like Ace Ventura becomes dangerous very fast when you are inches away from other Mad Max death machines driving through a dust storm.
Unfortunately, the video confirms that one of the coolest cars in the movie, the Dodge Charger Peacemaker tank, was a bunch of junk. The EV1 Ripsaw that was used for the crawler chassis arrived in Australia riddled with construction errors, such as incomplete welds and inadequate cooling; Although the production team ran it, it was dangerous to operate and continued to suffer endless mechanical failures. Apparently he was crushed at the end of the shoot and “ground into pieces the size of a fist” to the delight of all.
