- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Mel Gibsons run as Mad Max Rockatansky ended with Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. Set 15 years after the last it's often considered the weakest of the original trilogy but it's not without it's moments. Including the inclusion of Tina Turner as Aunty Entity, a bungee cord death match, a tribe of lost children and Australia's own Gary Stephen "Angry" Anderson.

Oh, Rodney. I've missed you.
Rodney!?

Rodney was always with us in our 💕

We desperately needed this throwback
Two things:
1. Never stop with the obscure Australian pop culture references.
2. We miss you, guy who shouts Rodney.
Very true.

I’m realizing Ben from Canada and Laurence make these increasingly obscure Australian references manageable cause it’s a lot
Dude even I got lost at "bodyjar". I think even "BodyJar" was like "ooooh yeah... I was in a band".
I'm here for the esoteric Australian references!
That clip they found from the band saying "This song is about drinking and then driving badly" was brilliant ^^
Bodyjar was actually a pretty big band in the 90s. All over the radio. I’m mad at all of you for not knowing these obscure Australian references. Hie thee to your nearest google machine and stay there until you know who ossie ostrich is. Ya drongos.
@@jordantaylor260 Steady on mate, they're not exactly Jebediah
They should make a Mad Max prequel called “Normal and Reasonable Max”
could do a prequel trilogy, Happy Max, Normal & Reasonable Max, Frightened Max.
They did. It was the first movie. It was "Measured Max And Mad Goose."
@@TheJesselopez1981 How could I forget about Mad Goose! That's how Max got so Mad, they put Mad Goose's brain in Reasonable Max. creating..........

The Angry Anderson story being recreated in still image form is a sight to behold.
Very reminiscent of recreations of missing old Doctor Who episodes.
Replete with Mason's friend being some guy in a tiny suit.
Mason’s pedestrian crossing story is magnificent - I was *convinced* it was going to be a “that time I made Angry Anderson get off my tram” story
@@frankcooke1692all of masons friends are stock photo models. James is an exception since they are more like co-workers.
That Rodney tickled my spine in the best of ways.
RODNEY!?
🪚
Rodney tickled me in the worst of ways :(
Hey.. they didn't reply!
Fun Fact: Due the camels eating mainly flowers of cactuses, their dung has a blueish coloration. Some dude had to pick up said dung regularily, leading to the working title "Blue Harvest" for the movie.
Poo Harvest
Which, coincidentally, was the working title for Star Wars!
I was waiting for blue harvest during the amount of pigs joke
19:48 "That's Bait"
Ben and Laurence are just the best 😂
Angry Anderson sounds like a spin off character of Mad Max.
Very true.

I dream of Rodney coming back. Just hearing it one time in this video gave me a sweet dopamine rush
I cant believe Rodney's spirit still lives on.
Rodney?
@@JimboDoomface RodNEY?!
Should do a Titan AE caravan of garbage, I reckon that would be pretty neat
And yeah everyone else wants it too they all told me, you don’t have to check
There are four of us! You've never had ad revenue like that before!
I appreciate that Rodney reference
Every time it cut to a clip from Fury Road, I was again hit by how striking and impactful the colour grading is.
Very true-the colors in that movie,particularly in the explosions,were quite spectacular.
You can thank brilliant Director of Photography Roger Deakins for that. The movie was originally going to have a washed out look identical to "The Book of Eli". Look at early publicity stills and they all have that washed-out greenish hue. Deakins convinced Miller to change it to vibrant color pretty late in the game. This is shocking to me considering how bright and colorful all of the storyboards were- you'd THINK it was the plan from the start.
"Two men enter, one man leaves."
Thunderdome isn't for entertainment, it's Auntie's judicial system. Something like Trial By Combat. On bungee cords.
And....entertainment.
Youll be tried in a bungee courd of law.
Quite true.
With a cheering audience.
It's the judicial system for the ABC? sounds more like an Auntie Jack sort of thing....
"Who run Blue Harvest?"
"Master Mason."
"Louder."
"Master Mason!"
Tom: boy, we really blew it with that whole Thunderdome fiasco, huh?
Crow: oh, come on. Can’t we get BEYOND Thunderdome?
I came to the comments looking for this MST3K reference, you did not disappoint.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over macho grande.
I worked in the packaging department of a newspaper. Whenever we were board, one of us would push the emergency stop button and hold the whole process hostage. The only way to lift embargo was to scream that Master Blaster runs Barter Town.
RIP, Tina Turner, 1939-2023. We miss you.
She was the best

One of the greates philosophers of the ancient world was a homeless bum that regularly pissed in public and did other not exactly sociable things.. he was held in extremely high regard by many, including Alexander The Great. I dont remember his name, but it should be an easy and interesting google adventure if you try looking it up off of that information lol

Love the Area-7 mention. My older brother is good friends with one of the members of the band, and I remember my friends in highschool being into Area-7 (which I had no idea about myself not being into music) and I ended up having to get autographs for them at my brother's wedding from that guy I knew as "Chuck" who was in some band. Thanks for the memory jog, fellas!
My 15 year old loves Area 7
Caravan of Obscure Australian References
I'm sure it has already been said, but the editing of this video deserves an award!
Why does young George Miller look like a fancy, long-haired George Costanza?
I'm American and the Living End have been one of my favorite bands since I saw them open for The Offspring at a concert in 2000. They're incredible.
I once again insist that there is a massive time jump of decades between 1 and 2, as well as between 3 and 4. Max just for some reason doesn't age and his fury and insanity make him forget
You are correct. Timeline goes something like this:
MM is set in late 80s-early 90s. Max is 21 years old.
MM2 is set 3 years later: early-mid 90s. Max is 24 years old. "The Fall" happenes shortly afterwords.
MMBT is set 15 years later: mid 2000s. Max is 39 years old.
MM:FR is set 32+ years after "The Fall": mid 2020s. Max is 56+ years old.
@@Djordje_Jovanoviclol for someone in an apocalyptic wasteland he ages pretty well😂
@@Djordje_Jovanovic It also makes sense if he's had multiple families in the intervening years. The game helps connect it all top
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZepthe game isn't canon
@@khuhruzhsvethmeorv8318 It kind of is and isn't. The events detailed in Mad Max videogame happen in the Mad Max universe. As the girl Max sees in Fury Road is Hope. But, their a comic which details the version of events accurate to Fury Road.
Though, like many narratives in Mad Max, it could be a reinterpretation, or story, of said events.
The channel Mad Max Bible is really underrated and covers a lot of interesting facts about the history of Mad Max
5:05 "Is this the first example of a movie?"
Yes, actually. This is the first movie.
Bold of them to make the first movie the third part of a story
@@lordpelagius5078 Star Wars was the first movie which ended up being the FOURTH part of a story.
It’s a great day when The Guy Who Screams “Rodney” makes an appearance 🙏🏻
Finally, a movie filmed in the great state of South Australia
Bad Boy Bubby still the greatest movie to be filmed in SA
Love it when these episodes go so heavy on the Aussie vibes, really helps me get my weekly dose of worldly culture in
THIS was the first Mad Max film i saw, as it was played far more on British tv in the 80s and 90s than the other two for some reason, i guess just because it was newer at the time
It was the same in the US. I didn't see the other two until I was in high school and had money to rent my own movies.
It was much more of a traditional studio film so was considered more palatable for tv.
Guys. You can't just sneak Artax up on people like that!
Remember when I used to comment about James being old? those were good times that didn't bother whomever reading the comments one bit
RODNEY! Thank you for the rodderz cameo
James brings up a good point. I really didn't expect Thunderdome to be swinging around like that. In the video game, Thunderdome is just you fighting someone to the death with your bare fists. It's bloody and violent.
Btw the game is amazing, definitely play it.
Do you mean the most recent game? Because I found it floaty and weird and none of the gameplay to be satisfying. Also there are characters from fury road but Max himself doesn’t look like anyone
@@logandh2disagree on the gameplay, the car combat especially is awesome. But yeah, the story is weird cuz, as mentioned briefly in this video, WB took Miller off the project so he could focus on Fury Road, which left the game studio with all his notebooks, but none of his guidance. So it's just a mishmash of various different stuff with no real purpose or through line
I recommend giving it another go though, the gameplay is awesome imo. If you find the car combat too easy with the magnum opus (customisable car), maybe try using one of the other vehicles. I'm doing a playthrough rn where I rushed through the story to unlock the Interceptor, and am completing the camps and convoys etc with it
Area-7, Bodyjar and Grinspoon feel like names that would fit in the Mad Max universe
Up there with Ratcat, Company of Strangers and Regurgitator
To be fair, All Australian bands sound like Mad Max characters. Midnight Oil, AC/DC, Silverchair, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Kylie Minogue
Love The 'Gurge
@@TheIslandDivision especially King Gizzard, with their recent album Petrodragonic Apocalypse, perfect album for Mad Max
"Bruce Spence Cloning Facility" would make a kickass band name.
My friend's elderly mother recently watched this specifically for the Tina Turner song over the end credits because she didn't know how else to
Beyond Thunderdome is half of a fun film. Upon revisiting it recently, I checked out entirely after the first half of the film. Everything with Tina Turner and Master Blaster is fun, but it completely drops off a cliff once it moves past that.
Just like Return of the Jedi, the first 30 minutes and the last 15 minutes are all that's fun.
Yup,definitely can agree with that
The climax is fun, but you definitely feel the more child friendly rating with it. If this were Road Warrior or Fury Road, somebody would have gotten their head blown off, that guy crushed by the pig feed would have been eaten and somebody would have gotten crushed under a wheel
I love that somehow the like, 2004 Family Guy joke "Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This!" came true.
I don't think Beyond Thunderdome is the best Mad Max film, but I believe it is the most quotable one, and I love it for that reason. There are so many great lines in this film. The dude who plays Dealgood is incredible with his line delivery. ("Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dying time's here.") Tina Turner is fantastic as Auntie Entity. ("You can shovel s**t, can't you?") And I love the running gag about how Ironbar just wont die. This movie makes me laugh.
the "guy pulling out way more weapons than expected" scene is in loads of movies and TV shows, it even has its own page on TV tropes titles "Extended Disarming"
I looked at the list of examples, and it appears that the gag was first used in Buster Keaton's Our Hospitality (1923).
@@derkeheath5172 Interesting, but I would assume that it goes back even before cinema, probably first appeared in a book hundreds of years ago but using swords instead of guns lol
The sound track for this was immense. 'One for the Living' +> 'We don't need another hero'.
The best "giving up the weapons" scene that I am familiar with is an episode of Get Smart, where Max meets up with recurring KAOS agent Siegfried. They both decide to amicably disarm, but each one calls out an obvious spy weapon that the other must be carrying ("your ankle derringer" etc.). The punchline is that they've spent hours pulling out all of their ridiculous weapons and no longer have time for the meeting and so they just pack everything back up and leave. I love that show so damn much.
"I'm running ads on this thing, don't you worry about that alright?"
I don't know why but that had me laughing so hard lol
the Living End had some jams
Tina Turner had a bit of acting experience before this. In the late 70s, she joined in the film adaptation to the Who's Tommy. It also had Elton John, Eric Clapton, and Jack Nicholson. Its the weirdest movie your grandparents ever saw
MASSIVE fan of The Who, but I have never been able to sit through the entirety of Tommy. It's excruciating for me, but Tina and Elton definitely stole the show.
The Thunderdome inspired Dusty Rhodes to create Wargames, so it did have a legacy ❤
People now just refer to “the guy who shouts Rodney” as “Rodney”. It’s a very Frankenstein’s monster situation.
Spot on haha
I thought we all agreed he's a Pokemon who can only say his own name.
Wilson Tuckey, a name I (thankfully) have not heard for a long time
I really thought we were working to a reveal that a member of a prominent Aussie band appeared as a child in Beyond Thunderdome...but nope, we're just listing 90s Aussie ska/punk bands and I loved every second.
I still regularly listen to 'Nobody Likes a Bogan' and 'No Logic' by Area 7.
The fact that most of the kids from this movie went on to form Skyhooks is so great!
The Return of Rodney!
Regardless of what Miller says about Jebediah being a different character....... he see's max and seems to recognise him, max recognised him and knew he had a plane. You could argue since he hooked up with blondie from road warrior, the boy is their kid and blondies been killed or stolen.
Im Australian and i have loved all the local references that are for me but props for mentioning AREA 7 one wierd local references i actually didnt get
I met Angry Anderson as a teen when I was in hospital. He would regularly visit the sick kids. He was really sweet!
Rodney.
Grew up watching the original three movies and Beyond Thunderdome was always the weakest, but damn if I didn't get a new appreciation for it after Fury Road came out. Fury Road was "what if we took the best parts of the other movies, the chase scenes, and made THE ENTIRE MOVIE A CHASE SCENE?!" Which, duh, obviously is great. However watching Thunderdome again I realized it's those QUIET moments between the action that really drive home and contrast how different the world is verses how it used to be. When they're on the train and listening to the French lessons on the old record player it really makes me realize that everything we know is GONE and never coming back. Good old George Miller and his "dangling nostalgia."
Totally agree.
I've heard Furiosa has some quite moments in it.
Not fully true, Fury Road has its quiet characters moments too, it's not some nonstop action romp
Tho Thunderdome has better worldbuilding, Fury Road has TOO MANY things that kinda demand you to look up outside sources to fully appreciate. Road Warrior and Thunderdome instead make me feel complete, and don't have this issue.
FYI. Watching all of the MAXs because of you guys.
TO THE MAX!
6:50 exactly! I remember the thunderdome being way bigger and outside too. Am I misremembering it? I don't know, but I rewatched it recently and I love it.
I am once again on my knees, begging for the fifth element caravan of garbage!!!
This is easily the worst one of these, but Tina Turner and the movie's theme song alone elevate it much higher to me.
I actually like it better than 1 and 2 because it expands the world and is so zany.
I appreciate the world-building aspect, but yeah, if it had the teeth and grit of The Road Warrior it would've been the best
Ive really missed Rodney Im so glad he came back for this episode
The actor who played the guy who shouts Rodney is in Sea Patrol with the actor who played Furious Goose, and it's peak Australia.
Caravan of Garbage… Two men enter, One man leaves
And that man’s name is… ?
Of course it was Rodney
Probably my favorite thing about the Mad Max franchise is the loosely-connected-but-not-actually-connected-but-it-sort-of-is aspect to it. My hypothesis is that Mad Max and Mad Max 2 are connected. Same Max. Max Rockatansky's adventures getting revenge on the Toecutter and his gang at the beginning of the fall of civilization, then helping the oil pumpers get away from Lord Humungus after the fall, and the Feral Kid recounting that tale, probably after the bombs dropped, started the myth of Mad Max. After the bombs, there have been 3 heroes whose stories were told and retold and eventually mixed with the tale of Mad Max. One at Bartertown (Beyond Thunderdome), two in the wastelands near Gas Town (Fury Road and the Mad Max videogame). These post-nuclear three are all completely separate characters, but they have been immortalized as Mad Max and included in that mythology of this gruff and reluctant hero who shows up at near his lowest at a time when people need help, who initially only helps to get some gas and/or some wheels but then has a change of heart and helps because it's the right thing to do.
Good job on that “voyage to oblivion” poster. Probably way more work than you needed to do. And is that Woopie Goldberg?
BUT HOW MAD IS MAX?
10:41 I like the "pilot cloning facility" theory because it could mean that the skull with the aviator helmet in one of the cars from _Mad Max Fury Road_ didn't belong to neither of the guys from _Mad Max 2_ or _3_
This video has some of the best meandering through semi-related topics yet, well done!
Caravan of Garbage idea: 1980s Ewok show and/or Caravan of Courage
"Some say it's the best one."
"Who says that?"
I say that. This is my favorite Mad Max movie. 3, 2, 4, 1.
It's not my favorite but I like it a lot and I'm surprised so many people shit on it.
Same
@@HarryBuddhaPalm
It gets slow in the middle so some low attention span people lose interest, even though the lull is fine to others, and it picks back up again later.
I like it also, but I kind of get why some people don't. It deserves more respect than it gets. Acting was pretty damned good and the atmosphere of Barter Town was interesting.
There's a scene in Chopper where he gives up a load of guns but then has a secret gun. I remember on the commentary Chopper himself said if hand over 6 guns then they suspect you've got another one. Guess it's a Aussie thing
"That's bait" clip was a real good subtle poke
19:07 Ben, Lawrence, two last images here is some atrocious AI sheit. Are You sure it is the original concept art? Because if yes then that's sad.
There's literally a mad max game that probably has tons of good concept art to use for this bit
This got to be the laziest I have ever seen they being with their edits, it's likely they just googled "mad max car concept art" and picked the first thing without checking
reverse image searched both and sadly they are ai generated

Dude I’ve been having a shit day seeing this in my UA-cam made me excited and happy
Silverchair mentioned by my favorite Australian personalities. I can die happy now.
Definitely saw this as a kid for the first time on TBS or some channel like it in the 90s. Had no idea what it was about but loved it. 😊
That brief “Rodney” really tickled something in my brain
This was one of my Drive In movie classics, that I saw as a kid. I remember I fell asleep half way through at the ole Twin Drive in, but it was on TV all the time in Canada. For some reason I didn't watch the previous films until decades after. Of the Mel GIbson Mad Max movies; this one is my favourite for nostalgic reasons, but I do think Mad Max 2 is a far better film. Awesome video as always. I'm happy you guys do what you do.
Normally I find James and Maso's Australian-only stories delightful. But today their banter led me to watch 70 seconds of Angry Anderson's "Suddenly" video. I think I am scarred for life.
His stuff as lead singer of the band Rose Tattoo was better. Not good...just better.
Come for the review, stay for the extensive Australian band listing.
17:27 Those Pitch Meeting clips are TIGHT!
Am I the only one who would love it if James and Mason did a Cravan of Garbage serie where they talk about James Mason-movies?
I love the pig killer in this flick. He has the best couple lines.
"Plan? Ain't no plan." I use that line all the time
Extremely niche reference to the show Doctors with Al crashing another doctor's car into a field 6:43. What a clip to use!
Mentioning Rodney but not actually showing the much missed Rodney montage is absolutely criminal.
If only there was a way for me to take back my Like
I cannot express how happy I am that the goatman (aka MrSundayMovies) is able to drop Khazad-Dun totally unprompted
“You must have practiced hard to be so far away. Don’t say I told you so. One thing you’ll never know. You’re not the same, you’ve changed. I don’t need you anyway. You’re not the person that I believed in yesterday.”
Shoutout Bodyjar!
The Living End is a criminally underrated band.
Congrats on the transition, James!
I love the third one it's just got so many cool ideas especially the bit where he takes that guy's staff and the bullets off a wind chime and it turns out to be a gun
The last 3 videos are the most Australian thing on the internet. I love it!
I want a caravan of garbage for every Australian film ever made now. James and Maso are in tip top form! Great show. Caravan of garbage is my favorite.
I don't hate 'Beyond Thunderdome'. It has some very interesting ideas and subtext, strong cinematography and cast and a fun, 80's rock opera vibe that you can really get into if you're in the mood.
