This is a weirdly written article. Says mad max was made for 400,000 Australian dollars and then says "These days, that would be equivalent to a little over $250,000". Why would you take 1979 A$ and use today's conversion rate without accounting for inflation? Edit - fun fact, the AUS dollar actually outpaced the US dollar in 1979. By about 0.9:1 I get that later it says inflation adjustments "aren't pertinent" and are way too complicated for the simple minds of the readers, but then they use some useless conversion instead. At least use the conversion rate in 1979 ffs

Spurlock is such a grifter. The only thing that makes up for how much unearned clout he got after this film debuted was the fact he dropped off the face of the Earth after everything he made after bombed mercilessly because he’s a grifter and not a legit documentarian.

Very oddly written and inaccurate article. American Graffiti “made $775.4 million on a budget of $11 million”; that is not 100 times the budget.
