Maybe the guru is thinks is American because the version that most of us here in the continental U.S. have seen actually has an American voice acted dub.
Current versions (or some sort of deluxe version) of the dvd let you choose American or the Australian for the dialogue. (Listening to it in the original Australian is trippy, cool, but trippy.) |

You mean Americans don't understand Australian English?
 The makers of that DVD must have a rather low opinion of y'all.

At the time the movie was released in the US(in 1980), they didn't know how American audiences would take the original Australian voices, so they dubbed it with American voices, which was stupid, IMO. So, it's not because Americans are too stupid to understand Australian English. |

Not just stupid but one of the most annoying things I've ever seen in my life (I saw it in its original U.S. release at a drive-in, when I was a teenager). IMO there is nothing more annoying than to watch a film dubbed from English into English. It was quite obvious what had been done, since anyone paying any attention noticed the lack of lip sync and/or could read the lips of the people and notice they were speaking English but had been dubbed.
The sad thing is that the Australia dub was not available until it came out on DVD in 2003 or so. So for 20 years you couldn't hear the movie with the original dub if you lived in the U.S. and were a movie buff with the equpment/friends/resources to run down a copy of the movie from another country  .

I wonder what Action Guru would do if he found out that not only have I never seen Mad Max, I didn't know it had sequels until I read this thread.
Wait, nevermind- I think it would be like a couple weeks ago when my boyfriend found out my familiarity with Monty Python was only a couple of the movies, and none of the TV series. I've seen about half of the entirety of Monty Python's Flying Circus in the last 2 weeks...

Indeed. He's a man who thinks the objective, honest truth. Though considering Fallout 3 just came out, it saddens me to see this many people in this thread unaware of the identity of the person in charge of running Barter Town. |

If this was animated Patrick Seitz would be the perfect voice for Action Guru (using his Captain Bravo voice from Buso Renkin), either him or Richard Epcar using his President Takahashi voice from Lucky Star, but definitely Patrick Seitz, I could totally picture Captain Bravo saying the Mad Max line.
I don't know why but whenever I imagine Nina's voice, it winds up being Monica Rial using her Hazuki voice from Moon Phase, especially when she was laughing at Action Guru, which strangely enough it fits perfectly!! Anyway this strip was epic!! |

Gah. Mad Max, Mad Max II. Or I'll start talking about Cardcaptors and Ursula's Kiss and Tales of Northridge High. |

And don't forget Robotech (which ≠ SDF Macross).
