QIs the US r-rated version uncut? Which version is uncut?
ANo. In the US r-rated version some short plot scenes as well as some scenes of violence, which had to be cut in order to get an r-rating, are missing. This version has been released on DVD, Laserdisc and VHS in the USA. In early VHS times a few European releases (e.g. Germany and UK) as well as the Australian version offered the so called unrated-version. Later then, new re-releases based on the cut US-Master have been released in these countries which lead to the fact that the original unrated copies vanished more and more.Until now only one version has been released on DVD and it's the r-rated-version. The reason for this, is the same as the later VHS re-release being only the r-rated version: The US-Master has been used for every DVD-print on the planet (although there are rumours that the first Japanese DVD had the unrated version).But there is some light at the end of the tunnel: At least the new HD-releases (HD DVD and Blu-Ray) offer a slightly longer version. This version includes the scenes that had to be cut to achieve an r-rating. However it seems that even the HD-releases still lack the short plot scenes.A detailed comparison between the r-rated version and an old unrated VHS-Version can be found here.
QWhat breed is Max's dog?
AAn Australian Cattle Dog or "Blue Heeler", as it's known in its native land. The dog the producers got for the film was known simply as "Dog" and was retrieved at a local pound where he was scheduled to be euthanized the next day. The production's animal wrangler (trainer) found that the dog could be easily trained for the film. After the film was done, it found a home on a local ranch.
QWhat is painted on the side of the semi-trailer & cab. when we 1st see it?
A"THE VERMIN HAVE INHERITED THE EARTH". It was likely painted on there by someone who thought of marauders like Wez & the Humungus to be the vermin of the world following the apocalypse, the type of thugs who rape & kill for fuel.
