<html><body>Following news Mad Max: Fury Road will be filming in Namibia, a lot of speculation went around saying George Miller (director) was leaving his Australian roots in the dust. Luckily, an insider gave <A HREF=http://www.moviehole.net/ target=_blank>Moviehole</A> the scoop on recently hired bikers to appear in the movie. Here's what biker champ Jono Porter had to say:<blockquote>"Some of my friends - who are riders - just got picked up to be in the new "Mad Max" movie ("Mad Max 4 : Fury Road"). They're going to South Africa. You know in the previous movies how they've got all the warriors on bikes and that in the desert, well that's what they'll be doing this time. There is six of them, all playing warrior dudes. I was asked to be in it. They wanted me to do a back flip in one section of the film, but I just couldn't fit it in time wise. But they seem to be hiring a lot of Australians for the movie, which is great."</blockquote>What I want to know is if they're getting the Goose back.

Well, it makes sense. Mad Max is supposed to be set in Australia, so they have to get people who sound Australian, don't they?

The bikers in Mad Max didn't really do any stunts. The closest thing to a stunt I can remember is when the guy wraps the chain around the van's fender and gets dragged until his hand is torn off.

Towards the end of the movie they did all sorts of crazy shit. Like when Max drove right through them on the bridge. One guy was almost killed. If you look closely a bike rolls right over a guy and smacks him in the back of the head.

Yeah, but I was thinking more along the lines of crazy jumps and backflips, the kind of thing we're apparently going to see in Fury Road: They wanted me to do a back flip in one section of the film,

a backflip on a dirtbike ? im pretty sure thats only been attempted successfully once by carey hart or someone along those lines, the last guy who tried had his motorbike land on top of him , and him land head first :S

What's the soundtrack for Mad Max 4: Fury Road going to be comprised off. I have horrible memories of the awful soundtracks of the past.

No idea. Mad Max and Road Warrior were done by Brian May. And they were brilliant. Thunderdome has pretty fucking terrible music. Too bad May died a few years ago because I'd like to see him come back. But, if they can put together a soundtrack similar to the first 2 movies it would be sweet. Probably won't know for sure in at least a year.
