Just bought myself a copy of the classic 1982 Australian movie Running on Empty. This has got to be the origianl Fast and Furious where older guys like me did not grow up with Gran Turismo. This was made just after Mad Max 2 was released (1980). Anyone who hasn't seen it or knows about it, I recommend you get a copy and watch some classic Australian and American muscle get destroyed. Here are some screen grabs to wet your appetite or to reminisce and say "yeah I remenber the black Dodge and 57 Chev"

If I remember correctly - if you look carefully just as the Monaro lands, the bonnet flys off and you see the six cylinder sitting there. Also look at the two photos of the red GT above - the shaker is sitting at different heights.
I'm being picky but yes I'm another big fan of this movie.

This movie enspired me to build a blown engine for my xagt & 15 years later its the cover car in street fords mag.
This is an Australian master piece & should be a question in the citizen test. What car starred in running on empty( multiple choice) Last edited by XA5800; 08-02-2008 at 10:55 PM. |

A great simple classic Australian film, I think half the fun in older movies like this is picking the inconsistencies. Such as when the XY rolls of the back of the truck it is a AUTO not toploader, different slotters, no GT badge etc... Every time I watch it, it makes me want to dust of my XY and go cruising.

How funny was that red rebodied xy replica when its on its side after the truck makes it a convertable and you get a 1 second glimpse of a single exhaust system.
Another classic is Midnite Spares, also aussie, and on dvd for around 12 bucks... A polluck and a Spag, What are ya tryin to do, ruin property values?

Ay? Sounds like she's got a wobble in the bottom end. You been given her a hard time?
You're puttin' on the agony, mate, but you're missin' all the style! She's a 351, right? I've got some nitrous oxide injection 'round that's a sweet sensation. Mike, i got those flares, for the pv. There got computers now that can recognize your voice. So many more lines, its a classic film

Features Bruce Spence and Max Cullen (The blind fella from R.O.E.). Has a car chase at the end with a XA GT Hardtop and a P76. The Challenger from ROE still gets around in it's full movie spec. It is a genuine R/T 440 6-pack. I believe it now lives in QLD and of course the No. plates read "FOX 1". "It's Victor! V-I-C-T-O-R. You tell Mike Victor was here and he's got wheels that are ready to run."

Thanks, what is the movie with the silver Charger. Must have been late 80's or early 90's when it was released. I recall there was race/drag scene in a train yard.
That Dodge from R.O.E was always one of my favourite ever since I saw that movie in good old VHS back in 1983. Fox - "Loser stays off the street and off the air"

The movie you're thinking of mate is Metal Skin.
Bit of a strange movie IMO.
