I could be wrong about this, but I heard ages ago that another cut of Mad Max 2 exists with one recognisable trait ...
The "sped up" scenes that make the action look somewhat "Benny Hill" (but still suit the movie!) are actually shown at regular speed in a particular cut that was maybe originally screened on first release or preview etc.
But since I haven't ever seen the R-Rated VHS and any "old versions" of MM2, I can't know if this claim is actually true. Can someone clarify this myth for me?
Also, does anyone have (or has seen) the making-of documentaries for all three MM films? I've heard that the MM1&2 docs have been available on US/Japan releases, and MM3 is more or less bootleg. I can only imagine they'd be worth watching for at least nostalgic reasons (like the vintage Star Wars and Indiana Jones stuff).
And finally ... MM2 was actually broadcast on Australia's Channel GO! (essentially Channel 9) last week in glorious 1.78:1 ratio. This version seemed to be the "uncut MA" version with all gore/blood and "naked couple in the tent" scenes intact.
Many thanks.
