Arthur Burns character reminiscent of Toecutter?

I couldn't help but be reminded of another Australian psychopathic outlaw gang leader from 1979's Mad Max. Arthur Burns' physical appearance, not only Australian accent but eerie way of speaking, mannerisms and foremost position in the gang kept reminding me of Hugh Keayes Byrne's character Toecutter.

Anyone else?

Yes agreed. Quite a few similarities there...

Probably. Like you they will obviously be wrong though. Simple people see all kinds of weird similarities between things that are not really there. It's just a part of being stupid.

Hidyho!
