Interesting cameo that I don't think anyone has ever spotted. "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."

Early in the film, just as Max is being taken out of the Underworld back to Auntie Entity, the camera focusses for just a second on a character who looks remarkably like the young cop from "Mad Max", the one who suffered a throat injury in a collision and had to use a throat mic to talk for the rest of the film.

I'm 99% sure it was the same actor, or else the resemblance was uncanny. But I don't remember ever seeing a mention of this in any of the "Making of..." features regarding MMBT. If it is the same character, I would have liked to hear his story arc, from the young Bronze in the crumbling world of MM to the Underworld prisoner in post-apocalyptic MMBT.

Anyone else notice this?
