The Other Miller
Forty-five years ago, one of the greatest motorcycle films of all time, *Mad Max – Interceptor*, a cornerstone of post-apocalyptic science fiction, hit Australian theaters. The protagonist was the then almost-unknown Mel Gibson, with George Miller as the writer, producer, and director. Due to a lack of funds to purchase motorcycles, a deal was made with local Kawasaki distributors, who provided about ten Z1000s. None of these were equipped with Brembo brakes, and in fact, there are no significant braking scenes—perhaps the only flaw in this masterpiece.
