Mad Tax...
Warren Brown
In light of the tariffs that threatened to hurt Australia’s movie industry, Warren Brown refers to one of the unprecedented success stories of Australian cinema, the Mad Max series of post-apocalyptic action films. Here Trump is driving Max’s V8 Interceptor Ford Pursuit Special. The first film in the series held the record of the world’s most profitable film for more than 20 years, a feat that wouldn’t be possible today with Trump’s proposed 100 per cent tariff.
