MM2 / MMBT vehicle lists?

[tehCal]

Hey folks, is there any definitive lists on the vehicles from these films?

I know there is a rough preproduction list for MM2 listing the need for 9 street racers, 6 dune buggies, 12 bikes, multiple tow trucks, and the Humungus car. But has anyone who worked on the production ever confirmed exactly how many vehicles were used and what makes/models they were? As neither this site or the Mad Max wikia seems to give a definitive answer.

Also wondering the same for MMBT -- it seems like there's photos of half a dozen vehicles online, but no list on how many Bartertown vehicles were built etc.

Can anyone who worked on the films help out with this?

[tehCal]

Just to confirm, I'm most interested about the Marauder and Bartertown vehicles. I think I may have a close-to-complete list for MM2... feel free to correct me where I'm wrong and/or missing any!

Plus another ~24 bikes, mostly Kawasakis and a few Yamahas. Also possibly one or two more dune buggies, unfortunately some are only seen in wide shots.

I read in an old interview that there were 18 Bartertown junkmobiles built for Beyond Thunderdome.

Watched the film again the other night, tried to snap photos of as many of the cars as possible, but even on my 60-inch TV the photos look blurry and devoid of detail. Does anyone have a good collection of photos of the MMBT cars?

So far I have the most photos of the Big Foot, Aunty's car, the Camel Wagon, the Cow Car, the car with the spear gun, and the low-slung "ribbed" buggy. Would love a detailed list and photos, though.

There are ways to take screenshots directly from DVD and BluRays, you might have more luck with that as it would allow you to get them at the native resolution of the disc.

tehCal, could you please share your collection of MMBT cars so I can cross reference it with what I've got?

I think that way we can fill in the gaps, I even found a picture of a bike or two in my folders.

[tehCal]

Gladly Taipan. I've actually been meaning to get in touch with you, since you and Artemis Flow have the most interest in getting comprehensive with the vehicles of the series. I have Steve (Artemis) on Facebook, was going to see if you could add me too. I'll be happy to send you the screenshots I took, but it'll be easier through FB than through here. So send me an add if you want, my name on there is Cal Flavell.

Turbo -- I'll probably do that at some point!

Street Racer - Holden LJ Torana - survives to the end

The LJ (or as i call it, Tranasaurus-Rex) gets hit by the Mack at the start of the final chase (I don't remember if we see it later)

you missed the EH Holden speedway car (black with red wheels and interior), it doesn't appear in final chase, but is with the Marauders at Humungus speech (behind the red cross buggy).

[tehCal]

Ohhh I thought he hit a dune buggy at the start of the final chase. Didn't realise he hit the Torana.

Also I noticed that speedway car but mistakenly thought it was the Torana. Do you have a photo of it for the list?

[tehCal]

I went through the film the other night and got multiple photos of every vehicle, including the EH -- shame that car isn't seen again after the standoff scene!

Interesting to note, both the Torana and the Charger are rammed out of the way at the start of the final chase, but are both seen again driving about halfway through the chase. However it is only in two shots and they aren't featured clearly.

Also, the red buggy (which is rammed out of the way at the same time as the Torana and Charger) appears to be still in the final chase; the burning Fairlane clips it as it crashes.
