MAD MAX, Robots, Magnum, New Mugshots & CAR SHOW SAFARI!!
Good morning you Neanderthal Ninkumpoops and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! Today, we head into the Bush with a buncha MAD MAX Art, starting with Max’s INTERCEPTOR!! Anyone for a Burnt & Bloody Shrimp on the Barbi??
DID YOU KNOW?? Mel Gibson’s “Mad Max” journey is packed with interesting tidbits. Initially, he wasn’t even the first choice for the role, and he wasn’t overly attached to the character by the time of “Mad Max 3”. The original movie had a small budget, and Gibson even played Max for only $10,000. The film crew faced challenges like a lack of funds and weather problems, but they also had some lucky breaks, like a stunt that was initially considered a failure actually turning into a great shot. And the filmmakers often shot scenes day for night because they wanted to avoid using headlights, which could attract unwanted attention in the wasteland.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball hits the Benedict Castle Concours and spots JOE MAGLIATO’S HOT ROD, a vintage shot with Fireball and Mentor SYD MEAD, on the lot at WARNER BROS with a Concept Cadillac and Fireball’s STC Mini from the TV Show, with ROBOT ACTION!

FAB 1 is equipped with various features to assist Penelope’s field operative work, such as machine guns, bulletproof glass, water skis for sea excursions, and radar-assisted steering. In the original series, the FAB 1 had hydrofoils for water travel and skis for snow. In the 2004 remake, it gained wings, allowing it to transform into a jet plane. FAB 1 is usually driven by Lady Penelope’s butler and chauffeur, Aloysius Parker, who is also a field agent for International Rescue.

The movie featured a full-size 42-foot long Proteus submarine set with removable sections to allow for filming the interior. A smaller, five-foot miniature was also used for filming scenes within the human body. The movie spent $3 million on sets alone! During filming, one of the miniaturized Proteus models was carried off by a crow after being left by an open window!! Wait… WHAT??

INCREDIBLES, New Show, Buggy, Hooning, Hot Wheels & CHIP…
Happy Post Mother’s Day you Mamacita Maniacs and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! Let’s start out with the Incredible Mom’s INCREDICAR from… yup, you guessed it… PIXAR’S INCREDIBLES!! Snag it on an all-new MUGSHOT and more!
DID YOU KNOW?? The voice actress, Holly Hunter, speaks from the right side of her mouth due to a childhood hearing condition, which is reflected in Elastigirl’s character. Some speculate that Elastigirl’s name was changed from “Elastigirl” to “Mrs. Incredible” because of a similar character named Rita Farr in DC Comics. The Incredicar is a vehicle with a stealth mode, built-in GPS, a mechanism to change Bob into his supersuit, and a “Boost” button. It was originally a M.E.V. (Mobile Emergency Vehicle) car, and was later reported to be dismantled or destroyed after superheroes were outlawed. It’s a parody of the Batmobile and even resembles the one from the 1960s Batman TV show. Um, kinda…
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… The Ball is doing a new show on Hemmings called CARS THAT MATTER, hosted by Robert Ross. They’ll explore Movie & TV Cars and filming starts in June, so watch out for it! Today’s celeb is DENISE CROSBY as they cruise LA in a Mopar.
