Mad Max is on the telly now, but they're showing the overdubbed-for-North-American-audience version, not the original film with real voices.
Makes me sad.
This isn't Mad Max. Just a pale imitation.
*sobbs inconsolably into his Melbourne Bitter*
Fuck this film sounds wrong!!!

That's just not right.
I tried the dubbed version for gits and shiggles. That lasted less than 30 seconds. Could not stand it.
What's this about Leon?

Yeah, I imagine that the dubbed version is the one you know. I heard something along the lines of the US distributors not wanting to touch the film as it originally was for fear that the general viewing public wouldn't appreciate/understand the Australian accents.
Since I've been living outside of Aus I can only find the dubbed version, which is a pity.
As an interesting aside, my house in Aus is on Anakie Rd (spelled Anarchie in the film), and a lot of the film was shot around where I grew up. Pretty cool, I reckon.
Edit: Just found the original audio on Le Tuube:

Curious if this is different from what you all know.

Oh man, was THAT ever what I needed right now. Short of going for a ride, which I currently can't, that was the best study break I could have thought up.
Thanks for that, and yeah, that's what I'm used to seeing/hearing.
