1- What did Max mumble when he caught Scrooloose out of the Junkmobile, on the top of the cliff (One of the Jedediahs plane sequences) - I can hear him saying something... the DVD subtitles didn't report anything!
2- Why Dr. Dealgood said: "we dealt with subtlies here" (or something)? In the Italian version it was wrongly translated as "We're makin' too many questions" (obviously, referred to Max)
3- I have a theory: the Junkmobiles gets no gas pedals. Probably, their injections can work automatically, after you simply boost the cars - so the vehicles just don't need any gas pedal propulsion. You can see it when Max abandoned the Cow Car to jump on the Junk train, or when Scrooloose was drivin' Max's truck, or simply, when Max abandoned the truck in the final confrontation. The vehicles goes on.

Question #1.
I have no idea.
Question #2
Dr. Dealgood?
You mean The Collector, right? Fat bald man, right?
(Dr. Dealgood is the man that announces the Thunderdome fight)
The line is something like "We're dealing with subtleties"
He means that the situation with MasterBlaster was not one they could deal with openly and with brute force.
Aunty would lose respect from the people of Bartertown if she had Blaster killed by her orders.
She had to make it look as if it had nothing to do with her.
I'm pretty sure that Ironbar shot Blaster without orders from Aunty (and without her APPROVAL) once her plans had been discovered by the people.
Question #3.
Vehicles without controls for engine speed?
Sounds rather difficult to drive and dangerous to me.
In the case of the Cow Car, I always figured Max just put something heavy on the accelerator pedal to keep the car moving.
On Max's buggy, the unconcious guard probably had his foot still on the pedal after Screwy knocked him out.
We see max use different speeds when HE drives the vehicle.
When he jumped out of the buggy when he crashed it, it wouldn't have had much time to slow down after he let off the pedal anyway.

Dr. Dealgood is the fat bald & old man who supported Aunty as a mentor. Frank Thring played the Collector, the Thunderdome announcer. Anyway the half assed Italian dubbing messed up the whole affair
I don't know about the Junkmobiles. Maybe you're right...

1: I think he just says in an irritated voice "Come on" however in the background you can also hear Jedidiah saying something (Probably about the 'Not enough runway that is reffered to a few moments later.
2: The exact line is "We are dealing with subtleties here...."
3: I looked again at that sequence with the Cow Car to confirm my memory. When Max plants the car on the tracks, he pulls right up to the rear of the train and you hear an extra burst of accelration as he does it. Then when you see him climb and jump from the nose of the car to the rear of the train, you can jsut see that the gap between the two vehicles is widening, causing Max to leap that extra bit.
Do I get a gold star?

Did a bit of digging, and I found the two men's Internet Movie Database pages...
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Thring,%20Frank%20(I).....The Collector
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Hodgeman,%20Edwin.....Dr. Dealgood
Niether of which has pictures.
I'll continue searching, but after three hours of search engines, I've come up with absolutley no pictures of either man.
I did discover that Thring passed away on 29 December, 1994.
Frank Thring also played a movie director in the Howling III (Which I have on Video).
This is definately the same actor who played Aunty's mentor.
Edwin Hodgman does not appear in this film.

Fukk! For a Thunderdome nuts, it's the beginning of the end
Basically, the sappy DVD version of Thunderdome messed up the whole thing. It dedicated a section to the "dead actors" of the movie - Frank Thring and Angelo Rossitto. In the Frank Thring file, they showed Dr.Dealgood's pic...Thunderdome announcer !!!
At this point, after many years of darkness, we now know Dr.Dealgood was actually the Thunderdome announcer and a seller for excellence... The Collector was Aunty's mentor.

I hate(not really) to say it, but I'm not a big fan of Thunderdome. It does make good conversation, though.
