Toecutters gang forced themselves on BOTH the female and male passengers of the car. The boyfriend was seen running off with no pants and a red buttocks when Max and Goose showed up to investigate. The guy spouting nonsense was a member of Toecutters gang who was left behind at the crime scene because he was too wasted to leave with everybody else.
This video is brilliant and made me realise that Mad Max is just like the ancient accounts of warrior samurai in Japan. Some of the stories were written decades, if not centuries after the events and were incredibly fantastical. Not just by what happens in the stories but by the age of the heroes. Some stories make particular claims that a warrior lived for 200 years. Others will claim a particular warrior was involved in an event when they would have been in their 80s, but the description makes them seem like they were still young and sprightly. Miller was recently asked in an interview if Mel Gibson would ever reprise his role as Max, and he responded by saying that he never imagines Max as an old man. I now think I know what he meant by that.
This needs to be updated to recall the events of the Video Game, as it has now been accepted by George Miller as Canon, and it updates Max's events surrounding Gas Town, Hope and Glory. Also, the Timeline works best if you go Mad Max, Furiosa's Capture and Dementus' rise to power in Gas Town, Furiosa loses her arm, Road Warrior, Furiosa 40 Day Wasteland War and Finale, Max Rebuilds the Interceptor, but it's a shell of it's former self, Mad Max: Video game, then Mad Max Fury Road, and finally Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. The timeline works if you understand that different parts of Australia would have divulged into chaos quicker than others and may, or may not have been closer to the areas of nuclear fallout.
i'm going to go with furiosa and fury road being someone just calling themselves max after the legend of max taking down toecutter spread through society and he dies at the hands of aunty, kinda how like there is always the phantom, but its never the same phantom. the game is way better than those two movies btw
I am so grateful for this video because I really liked the whole mad max vibe and theme. I just never got a chance to enjoy it because I only watched one movie, DID NOT understand what was going on after I watched a second movie so I ended up just playing the game.
@@michals5873Yes. I've heard this one as well and it makes sense. The feral boy, inspired by Max, takes on his persona and heads out into the wasteland. The one problem with this theory is however that at the end of The Road Warrior, the feral boy is portrayed as an older man narrating the story of Max and appears to be the leader of the people who lived in the refinery and escaped the Humongous and his men. I suppose it is possible however that he sets out as Max after these events. It's a good retcon to use because in that timeline the feral boy would be about Tom Hardy's age in Fury Road.
you're completely wrong about the details . Thw guy they find at the car is not the girl's boyfriend , her boyfriend is the guy they see running through the field with no pants on , the guy at the car is johnny , one of the gang who drugged up so bad he couldn't ride when the gang left so he was just sitting there wasted out of his mind .
I watched a mad max fan made film called Hope and Glory on youtube yesterday. It was done SO well! Honestly, i was extremely impressed. Very professional. There are alot of nods to the movies, comics, and video game. Its a short film, you can watch for free.... if ur a fan, seatch it up n watch. I dont even really like Mad Max like that and i really liked Hope and Glory lol.
I never saw the original until I was older. I had seen Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome when I was young and always liked them, but seeing the original put it all together. At this time i have probably watched the original Mad Max nearly 100 times, it is by far my favorite of the series, and in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. So much is going on discreetly in the background and all around that you don't notice the first few times you watch. Everything in that movie is so raw and gritty, it almost has an unscripted feeling to it. The characters are perfect and the actors they cast fit the roles so well. It is loaded with symbolism and easter eggs all over. From an artistic standpoint it's a cinematic masterpiece in my opinion. And done on a super low budget and with no special effects makes it even more impressive. This was a very good summary of the series and I especially enjoyed how much time was spent in the original. I feel like the original is the most misunderstood of the films, and is underrated. A lot of casual fans don't even know it exists or don't like it. I didn't knowvit existed for a long time. A big reason is because in the United States, the second film was only called "The Road Warrior" and not "Mad Max 2 : The Road Warrior". It was marketed originally as a stand alone movie and not a sequel to another.
I like the idea of Tom Hardy's Max in Fury Road is actually the son of Gibson's Max from the first three movies. With Fury Road being set decades after Thunder Dome. After Thunder Dome, Max found a settlement, he meet a woman there and they both fall in love with them having a son. Max finally was at peace and could move on from the murder of his previous wife, son and the years of wondering the sands and the madness of the wasteland. He named his son after himself, Max... or the boy liked the name and just calls himself Max after his father. Would love for a movie with Gibson and Hardy together on screen. Just an idea 🤷🏻♂️ Call it, Mad Max: Wasteland.
The tie in comics made sure that Mel Gibson's Max is the same as Tom Hardy's Max. As Tom Hardy was 36 during Fury road and Max was supposed to be 40 in Thunderdome it all comes together nicely
32:45 That story (Hope and Glory) recently was adopted, although with significant changes, by a group of dedicated fans into a very well produced 40 minute film: "Mad Max - Hope and Glory", which can be seen for free here on UA-cam.
4:58 That wasnt the girls boyfriend that was babbling nonsense in Mad Max. The boyfriend makes a run for it as soon as MFP cuts him loose. It was Johnny that was at the scene and babbling nonsense. Thats how Johnny got arrested in the first place. Thats why Goose was pissed off. He knew what Johnny did.
Why would people think the nuclear bombs happened before the first film? It's never once stated that or even hinted, it's literally green everywhere and there is electricity.... nukes would've brought down the power grid with emp....
There’s also a pretty prevailing fan theory that Max is from the green place and then after he loses his wife and kid, he just travels into the wasteland
@@024shabutie420 I do know for a fact that nukes did happen because of beyond the ThunderDome Max pulls out a giger counter while talk to a water salesman and the water salesman just like ehhh a little fall out
The reason they go after the red car In MM1 is because when he took off spinning his tires and going sideways the dirt they hit Toecutter and knock him over. Thats why he whistled and they went after them. FYI😉
Yeah that’s the basic casual fan theory bouncing around for clicks, but if you look at the details it doesn’t line up. The feral kid is an old man telling us the story of max as the narrator of the movie. Summer Nix child we see at the end of Thunderdome learning about the legend of max and growing up with warrior mother. Heck if you watch thunderdome closely and read between the lines it might actually be Mad Maxs kid.
@@Bug_Juice gotcha. I've only seen thunderdome once. I might again soon. I'll check out that idea too. I just don't get how Max can possibly be the same guy in Fury Road but the continuity in this franchise is pretty loose
@@MonkeyKingsformerroomate I agree definitely two different Max’s one was there for fall of society and the other grew up in the fall of society hearing of the others legend. Thunderdome is definitely slept on, definitely not the best of the franchise but it’s a cool idea and kinda shows the beginnings of the society style we see in furry road.
@@Bug_Juicebro that was such a snob comment LOL I'm no f****** casual your argument against it being the feral boy isn't absolute. The old man telling the tale could very well be the same Max.
Such an amazing video broadening what you know so far about the entire series. Absolute masterpiece of a video. I can see the amount of work and time put into this. Genuinely thank you for all this work you’ve put into this I hope you have received the credit you deserve
Im enjoying the new saga so far. Furiosa was a great prequel and a smart move. If it was a sequel and no liked it then the 3rd and 4th probably wouldnt have made it. However if its a prequel and didnt do so hot, atleast they can still save it by "learning" what people liked and dint like and make a banger sequel.
Furious failed because she wasn't Max but just a character from many characters from Mad Mad 4 & what was the point for her to have her own movie, that is why it failed.
I mean, other stuff in the forge could need it during the 1970's and I'm guessing that by forge this guy means fabricators and other metalwork. Not sure what exactly they need but metal is usually transported by ship and trucks and can't work without it.
Okay I want to answer some of the questions about why do people think that it was nuclear warfare. In the first Mad Max movie one the original Creator wanted to actually use nukes. For the world's actual downfall but after doing some research it wouldn't be practical. As a storytelling tool if the world was like burned up and destroyed then how could there be a lot of green. And the radiation alone would make it much more complicated to tell the story not to saying that he couldn't pull it off. So he decided to go a different route add number two the second factor is a lot of movies were using nukes. as a post-apocalyptic story narrative so everyone else just assumed that it was just nuclear war. Because everyone else was doing the exact same storytelling narrative tool and Mad Max was just thrown into that category. So to basically sum it up movie companies and Studios were using nukes as a post-apocalyptic story narrative Max got lumped. into it the Creator wanted to actually use nukes but decided to go a different route as a storytelling tool. Hence why he chose resources like gas and water and Greenery very practical reasons.
The Nuclear War was never a thing until Thunderdome and was added for the American audience. Mad Max and Road Warrior are about resource depletion and running out of oil. Society collapses. Does need bombs for that. So it was retconned that the nukes dropped sometime after road warrior.
It's like George Miller said himself, the first few have a somewhat timeline but Mad Max is like Bond, there is no real timeline it's just stories of the character of Max.
Well done, I've been looking for a vid to show my younger brother who's a motorhead. Not the usual vids about the crazy and spectacular filming and stunt work the Aussie team did, which is absolutely brilliant! But the timeline that makes these movies legendary!
I always liked thunderdome. It used to air on tv all the time back in the 90s. Road warrior barely ever aired, but i do remember seeing it, and i rented the first one on vhs and thought "what is going on here? This isnt like the others" i was probably 12 at the time.
Mel Gibson got the part of Max by accident if I remember rightly. He hadn't planned on auditioning, but had given his mate a lift there to do so. He'd had a bar fight the night before, and Miller noticed him with a black eye and thought he fit the part of Max quite nicely and so he asked him to audition and the rest is history.
Ngl I hate that we waited so long for a new mad max and all we got is a spin off from a character that didn't mean much (Imo) (I wasn't blind sisded by this movie, I just want more badass max, no one else, just like the OG's)
I suppose, but 4 out of 5 of the movies feature Max, whilst only one stars Furiosa, so there's plenty of Max to go around, and if George Miller gets his wish, he wants to do one more movie with Max returning.
Shouldn't have really come as a surprise to anyone following the franchise even remotely closely in the years following Fury Road. I'm not sure why all these hardcore fans didn't know the next film was Furiosa. Everyone acting shocked like they had no idea when Miller talked about it publicly & plenty of information about it being in development hell for years.
You have to remember 95% of Australia is unoccupied, the only part of Australia is the complete coastal line pretty much wrapping around and everything else is almost unlivable, as you see in the movies. It's not a nuclear fallout wasteland or something, it's just a hardcore unlivable Mad Max like environment out there. I remember being mind blown when I heard its a baron. Imagine your country only use 5% of the land.
Canada has to be pretty close. A good portion of it is either frozen tundra or sits on the Canadian shield which has very poor ground for agriculture. People do still live in these areas but it is sparse. 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the United States.
The narration of the intro to the Road Warrior always made it clear that Mad Max 1 was long after the nuclear wars, the narration being pre-Mad Max 1. Mad Max 1 also implies radioactive areas via road signs. The Main Force Patrol is a shadow of society trying to hold things together LONG after the break down post “the mighty warrior tribes” that destroyed everything in the world. I don’t understand why modern day fans don’t understand what every kid in 1982 understood perfectly well. Even the TV guides in USA stated Mad Max 1 as “post apocalyptic” which only means one thing. Hence nothing strange when Thunderdome came out with radioactive fallout everywhere. I wish keyboard warrior comic book readers would stop messing up basic 80’s movies plots that are flawless. Fury Road et al, are what we GenXers know as REBOOTS since nobody seems to have any good ideas anymore (and worse the comic book made up stuff shown here suggests reboot overhaul negating even MM2 and Thunderdome stories, so total BS for me, or rather, a complete unrelated narrative). To be honest, Thunderdome was already “rebooting” ideas of the previous films. But for Christ sake they are LONG forward in time after Walker crashed his plane. Max would have been a child himself, as those kids were not all even born yet to be as feral as they were, barely speaking properly. The implication was always Walker and any other adults, after establishing the oasis and having children there, left the kids safe there and NEVER CAME BACK. The teen/adults there had vague memories and confusion, but had already been having children of their own, not having any adult to educate them. Jeez I just don’t get what is so hard to understand there.
I never cared about theories or speculations. I just take the story how it is told, which is good enough for me. Whenever I read what type of Theories and Speculations they write, all I can do is chuckle. Nonetheless... some things better remain mysteries, never to be solved, unless the writers decide to do so.
Really? Not even close being great, to me what was the point of making the movie. Furious wasn't even the main character in the 4th instalment of Mad Max
Is Furiosa that great of a hero? She rescued the 6 most comfortable people in the citadel, some of them weren't even sure if they wanted to leave. She could've taken 20 of the starving people on the ground instead and Joe wouldn't have chased them. When she learned the green place was gone she tried to lead the women to their deaths until Max talked her out of it.
There was a theory that the little boy from mad max 2 grew up and was the protagonist for fury road and would explain why he looks 30 instead of late 50s.
And it was proven wrong by Miller himself and you didnt need him to disprove it as the end Road Warrior tells you exactly what happened to the kid, through his own voice as the narrator. I have no idea how people come up with this stuff. They need to pay attention.
It's hard enough to get parts nowadays, how does EVERYONE HAVE SUPPED UP BADASS CARS AND TRUCKS ALL WITH NITROUS??? HOW DO THEY GET MORE NEW PARTS ? HOW DO THEY GET NEW TIRES? I have so many questions. Help I need parts
The couple isn't found together. It's Johnny spouting nonsense with the victim girl on a leash. The boyfriend was seen running down a field with no pants. Goose called him a turkey
I hate fanboys like yourself who cry whenever an actor is recast. It’s one of the reasons the Star Wars sequel trilogy sucked so much. Better to have recast luke, han and leia with actors in their 20s and continued from where rotj left off. Tom hardy is a better max than mel gibson and chris pine is a better kirk than bill shatner
watched "Road Warrior" 1st on VHS, I was 12 then watched "Mad Max" the next week. Do yourself a favor and watch I and II...III was a cash grab but Tina Turner's in it and "blaster and master" so worth a watch.
Beyond Thunderdome is weird. It's like 2 different movies. After Max gets exiled from Bartertown it just gets really weird. But then it ends strong with the high speed chase and the train. Descent movie overall but the children cargo cult part is just bizarre.
Wait. At 5:00 that’s not the boyfriend spouting nonsense. That’s Johnny the boy, one of the gang members. He was too whacked out on drugs to leave the scene of the crime.
The first movie is honestly the best of the series as far as vibes go its a world falling apart and Max just lost everything and he isn't doing so well after it.
She was hung up by her mangled arm. That night, she cuts it off and escapes on a motorcycle...... no, she didnt. Thats just apart of the myth, she got in a car and that car ran out of gas until she woke up being saved by someone.
I can't help but notice how many of these post apocalyptic/global collapse scenarios act like the Middle East is the only place on Earth that has oil. Saudi Arabia falling apart is an issue for sure but there's still no shortage of petro-states out there.
Am I crazy or does one of the Oasis Feral Children (not the boomerang kid) have a "warboy" painted on a cave wall down in the oasis??? White face, with black eyes??? Looks very similar.
Toecutters gang forced themselves on BOTH the female and male passengers of the car. The boyfriend was seen running off with no pants and
a red buttocks when Max and Goose showed up to investigate. The guy spouting nonsense was a member of Toecutters gang who was left behind
at the crime scene because he was too wasted
to leave with everybody else.
Which is a HUGE part of the entire plot line of the first movie.
I heard them say that they said both got sa
Is this one of those "inaccurate on purpose to encourage engagement" channels?
Quickest draw in the west out here
thanks - came here to say the same thing!

Yes they’re are
I plucked mine from a dunebuggie tree
like they built it themselves instead of purchasing it

Pretty sure they mean hand built instead of manufactured in a factory
Funny how I just watched Furiosa and dived right into the other movies for the first time. Now this video is recommended to me 😄

This needs to be updated to recall the events of the Video Game, as it has now been accepted by George Miller as Canon, and it updates Max's events surrounding Gas Town, Hope and Glory. Also, the Timeline works best if you go Mad Max, Furiosa's Capture and Dementus' rise to power in Gas Town, Furiosa loses her arm, Road Warrior, Furiosa 40 Day Wasteland War and Finale, Max Rebuilds the Interceptor, but it's a shell of it's former self, Mad Max: Video game, then Mad Max Fury Road, and finally Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

can I ask, are the titles u mentioned from a video game or comic book or... ? i don't know where the mad max saga came from so
The comic he used is extremely close to the story the game tells just minus the black finger mechanic

The awesome game acts like an unofficial prequel to the movie, Fury Road.
There's a theory running around that the Feral Boy is Max. Mad Max gave the boy his music box, and he still has it.
You mean that Feral Boy is Tom Hardy's version of Max?
@@michals5873 I hope that's what they mean.
@@michals5873Yes. I've heard this one as well and it makes sense. The feral boy, inspired by Max, takes on his persona and heads out into the wasteland.

He also put the wrong image of the Mayor of gas town
Thank you 😊 soo Glad I didn't have to explain all that! 100% spot on btw. 💚🤓🇬🇧
I prefer the hope and glory storyline from the mad max game, is way more brutal and sad but the comic has a nice callback to the og movie too

I lasted until 5:00. If you confused Johnny the Boy for the girl’s boyfriend, you don’t know Max.
Caught that too the boyfriend was running traumatized with a bloody ass
Yep. Had to comment before I saw yours. Recap sin. Gonna be on the lookout for more now.

I always liked thunderdome. It used to air on tv all the time back in the 90s. Road warrior barely ever aired, but i do remember seeing it, and i rented the first one on vhs and thought "what is going on here? This isnt like the others" i was probably 12 at the time.
I always liked the theory that the feral kid grew up to be the max in fury road, still doesn’t explain everything but headcanon and shit
Mel Gibson got the part of Max by accident if I remember rightly. He hadn't planned on auditioning, but had given his mate a lift there to do so. He'd had a bar fight the night before, and Miller noticed him with a black eye and thought he fit the part of Max quite nicely and so he asked him to audition and the rest is history.
If you love Mad Max, you gotta play the game. Severely underrated. I must go, the wasteland calls to me.
For me it's just the original trilogy. These new movies are just not seen as canon.
Idc what anyone says, Furiosa was fantastic and perfect
NOICE!! Finally someone but it all together in a great way. Good on yah.
You don't need to make mad Max movies anymore... Walk away.. it was a great franchise, walk away. The bloodshed can end if you walk away.
I should have known that timeline but I was ignorant to how it really played out, thanks for that.
Thank u.. I grew up watching Mad Max and I often wondered how the new ones fit with the original
Max’s family getting ran over is one of the saddest moments in my movie watching history
Ngl I hate that we waited so long for a new mad max and all we got is a spin off from a character that didn't mean much (Imo) (I wasn't blind sisded by this movie, I just want more badass max, no one else, just like the OG's)
I suppose, but 4 out of 5 of the movies feature Max, whilst only one stars Furiosa, so there's plenty of Max to go around, and if George Miller gets his wish, he wants to do one more movie with Max returning.
@@jdanger_sanders it should only be about max Imo, it's in the title
Why would you care about Max story continuing unless it was Mel Gibson?
@@jmz2144 I liked Tom hardy, to me it's fine as long as it's Max in some age. It's like making a God of war but it doesn't involve kratos
Shouldn't have really come as a surprise to anyone following the franchise even remotely closely in the years following Fury Road. I'm not sure why all these hardcore fans didn't know the next film was Furiosa. Everyone acting shocked like they had no idea when Miller talked about it publicly & plenty of information about it being in development hell for years.
I love Mad Max. Fury Road is severely underrated imo. Haven't watched the new one yet though.
With 6 oscars and a 8.1 on IMDb its hardly underrated. Its sad to see Furiosa doing so bad though, it also is a great movie.
So that explains why some of the bandits looked Middle Eastern
How is there enough gas for cars but no oil?
there's places like gas town but the oil that are produced is still very few
You have to remember 95% of Australia is unoccupied, the only part of Australia is the complete coastal line pretty much wrapping around and everything else is almost unlivable, as you see in the movies. It's not a nuclear fallout wasteland or something, it's just a hardcore unlivable Mad Max like environment out there. I remember being mind blown when I heard its a baron. Imagine your country only use 5% of the land.
Canada has to be pretty close. A good portion of it is either frozen tundra or sits on the Canadian shield which has very poor ground for agriculture. People do still live in these areas but it is sparse. 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the United States.
17:09 The man, the myth; the power ranger villain himself. (Ransik's Vernon Wells) 😰❤
Great breakdown and couldn’t have come at a better time
The narration of the intro to the Road Warrior always made it clear that Mad Max 1 was long after the nuclear wars, the narration being pre-Mad Max 1. Mad Max 1 also implies radioactive areas via road signs. The Main Force Patrol is a shadow of society trying to hold things together LONG after the break down post “the mighty warrior tribes” that destroyed everything in the world. I don’t understand why modern day fans don’t understand what every kid in 1982 understood perfectly well. Even the TV guides in USA stated Mad Max 1 as “post apocalyptic” which only means one thing. Hence nothing strange when Thunderdome came out with radioactive fallout everywhere. I wish keyboard warrior comic book readers would stop messing up basic 80’s movies plots that are flawless. Fury Road et al, are what we GenXers know as REBOOTS since nobody seems to have any good ideas anymore (and worse the comic book made up stuff shown here suggests reboot overhaul negating even MM2 and Thunderdome stories, so total BS for me, or rather, a complete unrelated narrative). To be honest, Thunderdome was already “rebooting” ideas of the previous films. But for Christ sake they are LONG forward in time after Walker crashed his plane. Max would have been a child himself, as those kids were not all even born yet to be as feral as they were, barely speaking properly. The implication was always Walker and any other adults, after establishing the oasis and having children there, left the kids safe there and NEVER CAME BACK. The teen/adults there had vague memories and confusion, but had already been having children of their own, not having any adult to educate them. Jeez I just don’t get what is so hard to understand there.
I never cared about theories or speculations. I just take the story how it is told, which is good enough for me. Whenever I read what type of Theories and Speculations they write, all I can do is chuckle. Nonetheless... some things better remain mysteries, never to be solved, unless the writers decide to do so.
The shotgun didn't jam. That type of shotgun can't "jam". The round was a dud.
Furiosa is such a great film 🎥
Really? Not even close being great, to me what was the point of making the movie. Furious wasn't even the main character in the 4th instalment of Mad Max
Great camera work, immersive storytelling, practical effects over CGI, I loved every minute of Furiosa.
The story of max saving then loosing the family is also in the 2015 in the main story
Could you do the pacific rim franchise and don’t forget the anime and graphic novels of pacific rim
Wouldn't really call it anime as much as animated series
Nice work, man 👏 👏
Would you do a men in black one? I can’t find any full story for it.
I loved to watching these movies as a kid
Is Furiosa that great of a hero? She rescued the 6 most comfortable people in the citadel, some of them weren't even sure if they wanted to leave. She could've taken 20 of the starving people on the ground instead and Joe wouldn't have chased them.
When she learned the green place was gone she tried to lead the women to their deaths until Max talked her out of it.
Great video…. And great reasoning about Max being a legend more than a person.
Makes the twisted timeline work.
If you have a young child, you might recognize a cartoon version of Max's dog. The Australian cartoon bluey lol.
The story from the game being in between Furiosa and Fury Road would be a better alternative imo
Max was such a badass holy fuck. I never even knew
4:57 this is not the boyfriend, this is one of toe cutter's gang, the boyfriend is seen moments earlier running half naked through a field
There was a theory that the little boy from mad max 2 grew up and was the protagonist for fury road and would explain why he looks 30 instead of late 50s.
And it was proven wrong by Miller himself and you didnt need him to disprove it as the end Road Warrior tells you exactly what happened to the kid, through his own voice as the narrator. I have no idea how people come up with this stuff. They need to pay attention.
One title, "Old Man Max," now you can finish mad max with Mel.
"Mature Max"
I subscribe to the headcanon that Hardy's Max is the feral kid and that "Mad Max" has become more of a title.
It's actually very realistic that the world would completely go down the pooper if that hypothetical situation happened with the oil shortage
It's hard enough to get parts nowadays, how does EVERYONE HAVE SUPPED UP BADASS CARS AND TRUCKS ALL WITH NITROUS??? HOW DO THEY GET MORE NEW PARTS ? HOW DO THEY GET NEW TIRES? I have so many questions. Help I need parts
Mad Max is just like Lassie!
The couple isn't found together. It's Johnny spouting nonsense with the victim girl on a leash. The boyfriend was seen running down a field with no pants. Goose called him a turkey
Nothing ever "begs the question"
Mad max , reservoir dogs, alien these movies started it all.
We need a new Mad Max movie set after Fury Road. Max should have a new sidekick and a new love interest
Needs Mel Gibson.
@@kerriemccoy1647 He's too old now. Tom Hardy is a decent enough replacement
@@Nick-zp3ub BS, Liam Neeson is doing action movies & is roughly the same age as Mel
I hate fanboys like yourself who cry whenever an actor is recast. It’s one of the reasons the Star Wars sequel trilogy sucked so much. Better to have recast luke, han and leia with actors in their 20s and continued from where rotj left off. Tom hardy is a better max than mel gibson and chris pine is a better kirk than bill shatner
@@Nick-zp3ub B.S. Mel is a better Max & always will.
watched "Road Warrior" 1st on VHS, I was 12 then watched "Mad Max" the next week. Do yourself a favor and watch I and II...III was a cash grab but Tina Turner's in it and "blaster and master" so worth a watch.
Beyond Thunderdome is weird. It's like 2 different movies. After Max gets exiled from Bartertown it just gets really weird. But then it ends strong with the high speed chase and the train. Descent movie overall but the children cargo cult part is just bizarre.
did those comics came before or after fury road ?
I only know of 3 Mad Max movies
I just f****** hate how the interceptor has never properly been able to shine
wow, good content in this channel
Wait. At 5:00 that’s not the boyfriend spouting nonsense. That’s Johnny the boy, one of the gang members. He was too whacked out on drugs to leave the scene of the crime.
Can you imagine JOE ending up being max burned friend from the first movie OMG that would of been a crazy
Mel Gibson could still play the role!
The first movie is honestly the best of the series as far as vibes go its a world falling apart and Max just lost everything and he isn't doing so well after it.
She was hung up by her mangled arm. That night, she cuts it off and escapes on a motorcycle...... no, she didnt. Thats just apart of the myth, she got in a car and that car ran out of gas until she woke up being saved by someone.
I can't help but notice how many of these post apocalyptic/global collapse scenarios act like the Middle East is the only place on Earth that has oil.
Saudi Arabia falling apart is an issue for sure but there's still no shortage of petro-states out there.
Toe cutter, arm breaker.... 😂😂😂 good one! ... lol
Your info is incomplete 31:15..!! Guess what..? You figure out….
Hardy’s the Feral Child, teach the controversy
Impresionante esfuerzo. Gracias.
There's only 2 Mad Max movies and that's it. Just like there's only 3 star wars movies.
So close! There are actually several Mad Max films and around a dozen Star Wars movies. Better luck next time, buddy!
Lack of resources led to people wearing leather pants and driving around in supercharged v8s and killing people
Am I crazy or does one of the Oasis Feral Children (not the boomerang kid) have a "warboy" painted on a cave wall down in the oasis??? White face, with black eyes??? Looks very similar.
The new Max is a different person to old Max.
Tbh i like the fury road tie in game more than the comics
Well done
38:51 you could also simply describe it as "some form of sand storm"
