I remember going to the cinema to watch Mad Max in 79 and wondering what the hell he was saying while driving the Monaro


"I am the Nightrider! I am the chosen one. The mighty hand of vengeance, sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rollin' dice. Step right up, chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road, right to freedom"


Turns out he didnt even have a licence

yer RIP......
Amazing how your never forgotten due to a strong supporting role and down in Legend.
Max was such a epic movie at the time - you hardly forget each supporting actor.
The Nightrider was a villian and a half you disliked him so much.
Well played Nightrider.

RIP, the Aussie actor. But I was thinking of the Hoff from the title.

Yes thanks, been watching from the start.
We discussed its resting place way back on the ATHS forum.
