     If you watch very closely, you will see that Max, Jessie, etc. are 
not speaking Australian; they are speaking gibberish.  This makes it 
easier to dub the movie into many different languages.  Since Mad Max
was designed from the beginning for international distribution (like
many of the kung fu movies) it is quite possible that there is
NO original soundtrack.

Two other points:
     In Mad Max I, the doctor in the hospital clearly says that
the girl (Jessie) can be "salvaged", but she is never seen again.
Is the scene with the crosses at the beginning of TRW sufficient
to establish that she is dead, or is it possible that Max will
meet her again?

     Several people have suggested that Jebidiah (sp?) in Thunderdome
is not the Gyro Captain.  Why, then, does Jebidiah Jr. look so much like
the women the Gyro Captain drove away with at the end of TRW?
