I presumed originally, they were Holdens too. Apparently Mr Ford's issue get's everywhere-

Falcons

I'd always wanted the coupe, but I have to say, the 4 door is interesting too.

The cops in the movie all had 1972~1974 (XA~XB) Ford Falcons. The stolen car in that scene above is a 1972 (HQ) Holden Monaro. Max's black coupe is also a Falcon (an XB), albeit with that horrible Monza front. His personal vehicle was a Holden (HJ) 1975 panel van with a Holden Statesman front end.

@quattro mac... that'd be something to see!

As for the movies, well, the first was great... then it was a speedy drop from there as it went form the sublime to the ridiculous. If there's a forth, I can only imagine it'll be more of the same.

The one I saw in town sounded awesome! It obviously had a big stallie and reeked of CUBES!
