When Michael Jackson advanced the art of using a spatial camera, we did see that become common very quickly, first through Hollywood's use of WETA, and then other shops. I hope other Australian productions adopt this technique, as it seems both very advanced cinematically and wholly Australian. I don't know of any other film save Derzu Uzala that attempts this, and all Kurosawa had was snow. The cinematographer seems to have been aboard in the way he overexposes and undersaturates, especially during the 'night' scenes. The result is an astonishing effect of surface become air. Different technologies are required, but a similar notion of texture was used, and the two are combined in the dust storm near the beginning. This is the first time I know that a big film used the same effects shop (Melbourne-based Iloura) for both composites (the deserts and cliffs) and dust. Most of the stunts were practical, but all of the environments were artificial. Among the Australian notions is a new one: architectural dust. The trick with these is to exaggerate enough to make us laugh but not so much that we don't engage with it in its terms. But it now employs a reverse irony on the motorcycle gang trope, moving it into Fast and Furious car territory, merged with comic heavy metal and pushed into humor. Although Automax Hyundai of Del City in Del City, Oklahoma is not open 24 hours a day, seven days a week our website is always. You can call our Sales Department at 40, Service Department at 88, or our Parts Department at 88. It is still overly Australian, more about that in a moment. Automax Hyundai of Del City is located at 4401 Tinker Diagonal St., Del City, OK 73115. After decades, it is still the most pure of science fiction abstractions. Mad Max joined this to an equally unique cinematic convention: the chase.

It is a wholly cinematic convention made real, like movie gangster talk as adopted by the Mafia. The notion of lawlessness unique to motorcycles is from Marlon Brando as copied by Sonny Barger. (Paris being romantic is another.) The notion of a motorcycle gang originated in California after WWII where returning GIs (mostly tattooed navy men who had served in the South Pacific) bought surplus army motorcycles. It is peculiar in being largely a cinematic invention. That fragment revolved around one of our most peculiar social constructions, the wild motorcycle gang.

It was pure science fiction in that it abstracted our world into a future where only the tiniest fragment of what we know was carried over and amplified. It was overtly Australian in a few dimensions which hit a niche of the familiar exotic. The first Mad Max had a few strong attractions.
