    I was tempted to agree with you, but actually dude is younger than you might think. He's only 46. Not like, say, Harrison Ford who is 60.

    Ah, but are those numbers inflated? Movies cost more now than they did then.

    The original Mad Max was made on a very low budget. It was the highest profit to cost ratio movie until Blair Witch. So cheap that the only actor to wear real leather was Mel Gibson - the other characters had to do with fake leather.

    (All from the pop-up-video type notes on the DVD.)
