You ever notice the driver dyed his beard pink as well?

At some point after I'd seen the movie a billion times, I saw what George Miller looks like. The next time I watched it, when the pink car scene occurred I suddenly realized, "The driver kinda looks like George Miller."

Years later I was working at a major animation studio, and every couple of months we'd have some industry big wig come and give us a talk. George Miller came and did one around the time Happy Feet was in theaters.

During the Q&A afterward, I asked him, "In Mad Max 2, was that you doing a cameo as the driver of the pink car that gets roasted by the flamethrower?" He hesitated a bit and then he said, "..........That was my twin brother." Everyone cracked up, seemed like a good joke.

Then another few years pass, and I find out George Miller actually really does have a twin brother! So since then I have no idea what to think.
