My brother took me to see this movie when I was 6 years old at 11pm session in 1982. The lady asked him if I was not too young, he said no. Best gift and memories
@@SuckerFreeGear Same! My brother was in college in a big city and visited rarely. Every time he came, he showed me a movie, and I would watch that tape countless times. I've seen Rambo, Operation Delta Force, American Ninja and Mad Max dozens of times. Like OP, my brother took me to see the first movie at the cinema and it was Predator. What a blast!
My parents took me to see this when I was twelve. I left the theater with the roar of engines ringing in my ears and a goofy smile on my face. I was never the same.
I was sad in the part where the dog was killed, but when the car explodes, i completely forgot the dog, and i start crying while the ford falcon was burning 😭
Yes AGREED! Mad Max started it all ; Thunderdome was decent, and Fury Road tried to mimic the second movie, but Mad Max II The Road Warrior outshined them all!
Seen Mad Max at the theatre. Waited for the sequel for years. Worried that it would not live up to the first one. After the first 30 seconds I stopped worrying. What a masterpiece.
The wind-up chime at the end of the clip is an echo of the old world he used to live in. That faint smile is a recognition of that. Not just an action movie, a lot of depth to it - even without much dialogue in the first few acts.
I doubt today’s cars could stand up to this sort of punishment. Those cars were made to be driven exactly as shown here. I know because I drove a 351 XA COUPE with 12” rear 10” front, and I drove it just like Mad Max. Today I would be branded a hoon (which I am proud to be btw). Back then I was a regular Aussie bloke - chicks and cars is all that mattered.

We got taken to see "A Force Of One" by ourselves--which was odd. It must have been we went with a neighbor's family (whose kids were also with us, I don't remember) who dropped us off and picked us back up when the movie was over--such milk-carton action would have never happened with our parents--when parents do that, the message sent is "You can do whatever you want after we leave because we won't know about it--and if we do, it will be too late." Anyway, nearly the entire theater-full of youngsters was soon doing kung-fu (I remember it being packed with kids, for some reason--it might have been a weekend). Long before the movie was over were things out of control; it was utter chaos I haven't seen in any theater since (aside from maybe Melissa McCarthy's "The Boss" where people were nearly on the floor in laughter--almost everyone lost it in there but for good reasons). We didn't do kung-fu, though, during "A Farce Of One." We were raised to be good, little bitches never breaking the mold. It soon became that no one was watching Chuck Norris's latest half-baked action flick--we were watching everyone else be Chuck Norris (an indicator of how bad that movie must really be). Because we were taught to never have nuts, we didn't attack some kid in the fifth row we didn't know like kids in the back row were doing (learning such moves moments earlier from Chuck himself--this was also P.G. County, MD where chaos, poor parenting and irresponsibility are tradition). We knew better not to get involved so enjoyed the show--that was way better than the show--we got two shows but only paid for one ticket: If the parents thought we were kung-fu fighting because everybody was kung-fu fighting we would have never been allowed to listen to the radio ever again.

You could be right; I wound-up watching a bunch of other Aussie movies made around this time; a few have some famous faces I couldn't place but the storylines were often about some gas station attendant trying to take some forklift driver's girl--both dudes ain't shit, either, they're both drunks, actually, with the girl's Dad trying to make sure she doesn't give the attendant any pussy but after about a hour and a half, she does, anyway.
I remember my family recorded this off of basic TV from our VCR years ago and I watched this movie all the time. We didn't have cable so a lot of movies like this were heavily cut/edited to not show certain scenes.

Yeah; NBC heavily doctored the movie when they showed it on prime time TV. They wanted to change the movie's message from "one man can make a difference" to "hope survives".
The first Mad Max and the second was the first time any one had filmed a car chase with the cameras at road level where you can see the road as well as the car watching just a wheel or the front and back of a car at high speed at road level. Seems very simple but it gave the scene a whole new level of drama or excitement, it was basically just different camera angles that had not been done before and wow what a difference it made. Makes you feel like your right there with the action, and that coupe that rolled over with the camera obviously on the back of a truck or something in front looks just totally awesome as you can see the complete roll over from start to finish on the move, fantastic piece of film work. Well done guys and this was in the 1970's!
In terms of the camera angles, I'd say Steve McQueen's "Le Mans" (though not a 'car chase', is still centred around the driving sequence) did the road-level camera angles first. Though the Mad Max franchise certainly developed the concept in a unique way.
I’d just like to say, I drive trucks through a lot of Australia’s inland highways & the roads have completely gone to crap! This movie was set in the post Armageddon world & the roads are near perfect! 😂
To be _fair,_ it's implied in the surrounding lore that The Road Warrior takes place about five or so years after Mad Max 1, where infrastructure still _exists,_ but is slowly but surely deteriorating.
They had to use goodroads for the stunts that they pulled you you couldn't have Chase scenes like that on a bumpy road with potholes don't be so f****** stupid
The dog was discovered in the shelter at Broken Hill, NSW. The dog was about to be killed at the shelter and the movie crew needed a doggo for the movie. He went home with one of the crew after they finished the movie.
Yep love seeing all the old Aussie cars in it, the old man had a Landau coupe when i was young, dark blue with vinyl roof. Dunno whats stuck on the front of the one chasing Max, looks like a rear bumper from something :-)
It resonates with both. My dads and English lad born in the 70s and he let me watch these movies when my mum wasn’t home. Mad max is one of my favourite things ever. So glad fury road was a good revival and not the general shit franchise reboots we get nowadays

Stop being sentimental and start to be rational. It was good enough 40 years ago and it is (and was) far away from the best. If this was produced in 2020, it would be called a parody.
@@thomasmason3483 That may be the reason why most of them looks better than this technologically outdated scene. It was good enough in 80s. I like when most of the movie is NOT a CGI, but still..., some scenes would be better with CGI. BTW, that scene has editing error, but it is forgivable.
@@Szklana147 Mad Max 2 was filmed back in analoge times and like you say was good enough for its time and I personally prefer this over the modern stuff which generally use CGI and the same cheesey cliches.
Exactly my thoughts. Even though the characters are quite ridiculous in this film as well, everything just feels so much more grounded in reality. No guys shredding flamethrower-guitars (as cool as that was) or spraying chrome paint on their teeth. Just a bunch of people trying to survive the wasteland. And barely doing it too. Fury Road was fantastic, but for me nothing beats 2.
@@horrorfanandy4647 Bunch of people trying to survive, yet, they wear the most ridiculous BDSM, fetish stuff in the middle of the desert. The unrealistic, craziness was always part of Mad Max's world, even in Mad Max 1 (just look at the uniforms and cars of the MFP) If George Miller had the money and technology to make the same unhinged movie as Fury Road, he would have done that already in 1981.
@@humanelemon115 Fair point. They probably wouldn’t be driving cars like that either in a world where gas is a premium. I suppose what I meant was the grittiness that comes from the lower budget and the overall technology of the period. It just has some kind of magic to it that I prefer.
@@horrorfanandy4647 That's part of the point of the V8 Interceptor. It was the "last one" (noted several times in both films) precisely because it was a gas guzzler. The new fleet of cars commissioned by the MFP were wimpy by comparison and couldn't do the job because the bandits weren't playing by the same rules. Mad Max 1 & 2 had a ton of social commentary about regulation of oil and the vehicles that use it that was happing through out the 70s.
Australian cattle dog ... Blue Heeler .... they have some dingo ancestry. The dog was discovered in the shelter at Broken Hill, NSW. The dog was about to be killed at the shelter and the movie crew needed a doggo for the movie. He went home with one of the crew after they finished the movie.
as a kid i never knew the road warrior was a sequel to mad max because i had never seen mad max, i saw the road warrior in the theater in 1981 when i was in highschool at that point and it had a profound impact on me, so much so that i build my own mad max car in 1985 using a 1973 mercury cougar as the car, i recreated it as close to this movie as i could , the good ole days!!!
my dog looks exact same and my vk commodore has the same style front end hahaha maybe i should do a new version. ill call it fucked off max 2020 hahahaha :P
@@Fightman.dad574 I was there, 14 years old skipped school in the afternoon, went to see mad max 2 ,blew me away, 1982, I stayed in the movie theater and watched it again,
Saw it at a cinema in the UK. Years later, in the Australian Army, part of a convoy on an exercise, we pull off the road for breakfast. We get stoves going, get a brew on. Sergeant Fox asks me if recognise the road. I tell him I have never been there before.... It was the road where this was filmed. I drank a tea, with a row of Mac army trucks, on that strip of road.
Because the original didn't get released in the US it was years before I realized that the bit that was shown in the intro of how Max's family was murdered was from the first movie. I found it in in a video store and I still make sure to watch it every year since.
Every frame of this movie is epic. I've watched it repeatedly and will re- watch it many more times. The Road Warrior is cinema legend , a milestone movie that made an indelible mark on culture. Made for what amounted to pocket change and a firestorm of guts and creativity. I fucking love this film.
Seeing this as little kid i just wanted Max to be fine, i was scared from that wild guy hahah .. I was like just leave Max alone, but Max didn't dissapoint me, ty Mel for making my childhood better lol, world class acting right there
That’s weird I was exactly the same, I just wanted them to drive off in the other direction. It was quite scary in a weird way years ago. I think it was because he was on his own and there were loads of them. I’ve seen it about 30-50 times and I’ve got it on my sky box now!!!
The best weapon would be spike droppers, very effective when being pursued at high speed. And making fresh spikes is easy, assuming that you wouldn't go back and just pick up most of the ones you dropped as you salvaged the wreck you just caused.
That Landau looks even more badass than Max's Interceptor. I remember watching the movie as a kid and didn't know those were superchargers protruding through the hood, I thought they might be some sort of dart launchers :)
I had been waiting to see this one after watching 3 then 1. I'd built it up so much in my head.....and when I saw that Landau, and the buggy, I already knew it was going to be WAY more than anything I could have imagined.
I saw mad max when I was 11..a few yrs later I saw the road warrior not knowing at first it was mad max 2..when I saw the opening sequence I was like wait a minute is this..? Then when I SAW THAT CAR AND THAT GUN AND LEATHER SUIT I was like...THATS MAD MAX!!!!!!!!!!!! been my favorite movie EVER SINCE THEN....THE ROAD WARRIOR!!!!!!!!
@@robertminnis3244 Years ago when Thunderdome was being filmed there was a journalist on the set interviewing Mel Gibson. He asked what he thought of the movie he was making. Mel says "It's a piece of sh*t... Don't print that!" But they did, because I read it, lol!
@@duffysullivan2794 😂🤣 bloody journalists, can't trust them. I liked beyond the thunderdome too but the road warrior is the best of the original three.
Been a fan of Mad Max since my childhood. Seen it thosuands of times still kicks ass never got bored of it. Mr.Miller is the godfather of carchasing and crashing scenes. ...and the way the 2nd part starts with this chasing we jump right into the action from the first second...just brilliant.
Mad Max 2 is really about Max looking for the love of his life--which, of course--as it is with the most of us--winds-up being the bitch under a blanket with some biker she met in the desert--he takes a quick look back, but then thinks "Well, it's too late to get her now--besides, I have to get all this sand to wherever the fuck these people got me going. FML. The only person I really have to talk to is that kid who smells like ass and feet--and all he does is make noises when my shot-gun works."
I read somewhere that originally there was a scene just before this where Max passes by a farm house and Wes and co are there hanging the residents and taking their things hence why they give chase. Would have been a damn cool scene to see!
I agree. Not go mention that the dog was a stray dog about to be euthanized, was hired by George Miller upon retrieving a rock he hade thrown. He was trained and after the movie was filmed, he was adopted by Dale Aspin, the stunt coordinator. Lovely story.
Of the three films imo this one was the best. Did see it in the theater and I don't think I took my eyes off the screen. Old story.of good versus evil but an original take none the less. Great setup for the rest of the movie.
Ce film m'a tellement marqué Je me souviens que j'avais une tante qui avait un magnétoscope. Goût de luxe en 1982/1983. J'avais 13 ans et le regardais en cachette tous les soirs. Une vraie obsession alors que j'étais une fille adolescente. Plus tard j'ai eu le magnéto et les dvd et ça a eté en boucle pendant quasiment 30 ans. Je compte plus maintenant mais c'est l'ultime référence en matiere de film post-apocalyptiqye sans aucun trucage ❗️
Incredible how in the wasteland the roads are so well maintained. Everyone recognizes the value of the road repair crews for road warriors to keep battling over fuel.
To be fair, this film isn't exactly set decades after the world's collapse, so it's not too big a reach to think that at least some roads will still be in ok condition.
@@stuartwesthall but you'll find it amusing, that roads after world's collapse in movies and games are maintained in better conditions, then in some countries.
The shit they let them get away with was amazing. The stunt’s really were death defying as Gibson states himself. Remember the first Mad Max and the scene with the little boy? They really did let that kid run between the two cars!!
J'ai utilisé ce film en premier pour tester le premier home theater que je m'étais constitué, avec des enceintes faites par moi, et un système surround évidemment... et l'ampli qui gérait le son d'environnement donc...ce que je peux dire, c'est que je ne me suis jamais lassé de cette scène d'ouverture! J'avais l'impression d'avoir les oreilles collées à l'échappement, quel régal ce son !!! Les pneus qui crissent, la marche arrière, le V8 qui ronronne...quel bonheur !!!
No CGI...Not even a single word actually (unless you count screaming) - but you know exactly what's going on, who you're rooting for, who has been thru shit, who wants what, etc. So fucking good. Mel's face ignoring the festering corpse and smiling at the little music box like he still is protecting the tiniest bit of humanity is excellent. Vernon Wells and his weirdo gay lover are just so unsettling as they try to intimidate Max.
Totally agree. Why can't they produce movies like this today? Today movies live up to Woke ideologies. Movies MUST have shit green screen CGI. Movies MUST be women led (ideally a woman of colour, preferably transgender, vegan and in a wheelchair) When will they realise that box ticking doesn't make a decent movie? A movie that appeased the Woke, Tiktok generation, devoid of acting abilities and filmed in front of a green screen is utter shit! Stop appealing to the woke minority and make decent movies! Please! Ghost Busters 3 was shit. Terminator Dark Fate was shit. Jurassic world 2 was shit. I guarantee that Matrix 4 will be shit. Why? Because weak women actors have the lead roles. Yes Terminator Dark Fate ticked the woke boxes. A young, unheard of, bisexual, vegan woman played the part of the saviour. Her performance was very weak and unbelievable. As a result the movie was shit and flopped. As did Ghost Busters 3. Box ticking doesn't mean good movies. Quite the opposite.

Yes thunderdome was disappointing, thought it would be a huge death race arena not some kids climbing frame with bungee cords
Right , not even close
this second episode is the best! Road Warriors is pretty good too, though,,
This one and thunder dome
@@boris2997 alot of people loved thunder dome, I hated it..no car hes not by himself....i loved him as the lone road warrior
何十回何百回見ても飽きないよなぁ！！ほんと何回見ても飽きない！！とにかく面白い！！
作品自体も素晴らしいですがメルギブソン名優ですね。素晴らしい。マッドマックスはこの後数々の映像作品に影響を与えた事を考えると偉大な作品だと思います。
Come to Australia.haaaa
Is a masterpiece and a playbook for the late 2020's.
The first Mad Max and the second was the first time any one had filmed a car chase with the cameras at road level where you can see the road as well as the car watching just a wheel or the front and back of a car at high speed at road level. Seems very simple but it gave the scene a whole new level of drama or excitement, it was basically just different camera angles that had not been done before and wow what a difference it made.
Makes you feel like your right there with the action, and that coupe that rolled over with the camera obviously on the back of a truck or something in front looks just totally awesome as you can see the complete roll over from start to finish on the move, fantastic piece of film work. Well done guys and this was in the 1970's!
In terms of the camera angles, I'd say Steve McQueen's "Le Mans" (though not a 'car chase', is still centred around the driving sequence) did the road-level camera angles first. Though the Mad Max franchise certainly developed the concept in a unique way.
I’d just like to say, I drive trucks through a lot of Australia’s inland highways & the roads have completely gone to crap! This movie was set in the post Armageddon world & the roads are near perfect! 😂
🎸 greas tresh !! jaded vinyl
To be _fair,_ it's implied in the surrounding lore that The Road Warrior takes place about five or so years after Mad Max 1, where infrastructure still _exists,_ but is slowly but surely deteriorating.
They had to use goodroads for the stunts that they pulled you you couldn't have Chase scenes like that on a bumpy road with potholes don't be so f****** stupid
@@GoredonTheDestroyer yup, in Fury Road (idk if is a reboot or something) society completely gone, all is off-road
@@zeta1960 fury road is a sequel actually
I love it how the dog knows he is low on fuel when the beeper goes off and he goes to the back of the car.
I won't ruin your likes 😉
@@Incognito-bo2he Someone else did it though.
@@gorillaau Hope they slip in a banana peel
Dean Semler, for a low budget this is almost Lawrence of Arabia. AND THE SOUND
He was a good doggo, didn't deserve to check out the way he did.
Max's Doggo is the ultimate wingman.
The dog was discovered in the shelter at Broken Hill, NSW. The dog was about to be killed at the shelter and the movie crew needed a doggo for the movie. He went home with one of the crew after they finished the movie.
It's a great, great scene! And it's an incredible way to start a film. To see the movie in the theater must have been a tranformative experience.
I saw it at a drive-in when I was around 15. Then the second one at another drive in. In my top ten ever.
lmao, it's a car crash.
@@EMCF_ yeah no, it's not just a car crash
I think this movie resonates with every Aussie boy born in the 70’s.
Not just Aussie's my friend. American boys too.
and American ;)
Yep love seeing all the old Aussie cars in it, the old man had a Landau coupe when i was young, dark blue with vinyl roof. Dunno whats stuck on the front of the one chasing Max, looks like a rear bumper from something :-)
It resonates with both. My dads and English lad born in the 70s and he let me watch these movies when my mum wasn’t home. Mad max is one of my favourite things ever. So glad fury road was a good revival and not the general shit franchise reboots we get nowadays

MAD MAX 2 ES LA MEJOR DE TODAS YO LA VI EN VHS EN LOS 80 y ME TRAUMATIZO👍
sólo he visto la 1🤔
Vernon Wells was one of the best and most memorable antagonists of the 80s.
Ole mate.
Probably the best car chase scenes of all time in Mad Max.
Si, estas escenas y la excepcional del gran Steve Mc Quin en " Bullit " , con su legendary Ford Mustang GT 1968 , color verde noche !!!
Stop being sentimental and start to be rational. It was good enough 40 years ago and it is (and was) far away from the best. If this was produced in 2020, it would be called a parody.
@@Szklana147 all of today's car chases are full of CGI and shitty storylines etc apart from Nobody (2021)...
@@thomasmason3483 That may be the reason why most of them looks better than this technologically outdated scene. It was good enough in 80s. I like when most of the movie is NOT a CGI, but still..., some scenes would be better with CGI.
BTW, that scene has editing error, but it is forgivable.
@@Szklana147 Mad Max 2 was filmed back in analoge times and like you say was good enough for its time and I personally prefer this over the modern stuff which generally use CGI and the same cheesey cliches.
This has a gritty realism not matched in Fury Road.
Exactly my thoughts. Even though the characters are quite ridiculous in this film as well, everything just feels so much more grounded in reality. No guys shredding flamethrower-guitars (as cool as that was) or spraying chrome paint on their teeth. Just a bunch of people trying to survive the wasteland. And barely doing it too.
Fury Road was fantastic, but for me nothing beats 2.
@@horrorfanandy4647 Mentally ill people, who are not stopping to think about it. Now thats great cinema!
@@horrorfanandy4647 Bunch of people trying to survive, yet, they wear the most ridiculous BDSM, fetish stuff in the middle of the desert. The unrealistic, craziness was always part of Mad Max's world, even in Mad Max 1 (just look at the uniforms and cars of the MFP) If George Miller had the money and technology to make the same unhinged movie as Fury Road, he would have done that already in 1981.
@@humanelemon115 Fair point. They probably wouldn’t be driving cars like that either in a world where gas is a premium. I suppose what I meant was the grittiness that comes from the lower budget and the overall technology of the period. It just has some kind of magic to it that I prefer.
@@horrorfanandy4647 That's part of the point of the V8 Interceptor. It was the "last one" (noted several times in both films) precisely because it was a gas guzzler. The new fleet of cars commissioned by the MFP were wimpy by comparison and couldn't do the job because the bandits weren't playing by the same rules. Mad Max 1 & 2 had a ton of social commentary about regulation of oil and the vehicles that use it that was happing through out the 70s.
Cutest dog in film history
Australian cattle dog ... Blue Heeler .... they have some dingo ancestry. The dog was discovered in the shelter at Broken Hill, NSW. The dog was about to be killed at the shelter and the movie crew needed a doggo for the movie. He went home with one of the crew after they finished the movie.
as a kid i never knew the road warrior was a sequel to mad max because i had never seen mad max, i saw the road warrior in the theater in 1981 when i was in highschool at that point and it had a profound impact on me, so much so that i build my own mad max car in 1985 using a 1973 mercury cougar as the car, i recreated it as close to this movie as i could , the good ole days!!!
It's actually a 1973 Ford Falcon.
@@METALHEAD550 indeed it is , and an XB at that 👍
Only the BEST MOVIE EVER MATE.
It's a short chase, but the way these stunts are executed and performed is incredible, George Miller's resume is exceptional.

All around this movie is a masterpiece.
This opening scene has not been bettered in the last forty years of cinematic history.
Ong I wish I was alive to see this in theaters bruh I can't imagine how it felt
@@Fightman.dad574 I was there, 14 years old skipped school in the afternoon, went to see mad max 2 ,blew me away, 1982, I stayed in the movie theater and watched it again,
Saw it at a cinema in the UK.
Years later, in the Australian Army, part of a convoy on an exercise, we pull off the road for breakfast. We get stoves going, get a brew on.
Sergeant Fox asks me if recognise the road.
I tell him I have never been there before....
It was the road where this was filmed. I drank a tea, with a row of Mac army trucks, on that strip of road.
The final chase and crash are epic. The violin from "Psycho" let you know how serious the situation was for Max & Feral Kid.
I kind of agree, but it is right there with the opening sequence of The Dark Knight.
Watched it a million times will watch it another million times
One of coolest opening car chase scenes ever!!
*The* coolest!
And not even one word of dialogue
Pure kino
There's a Burt Reynolds movie with a Lamborghini Countach for the first 5 minutes...
Хороший сценарий, отличные актёры, грамотный режиссёр и отсутствие всяких соплей...всё это вместе и создало этот шедевр.
งง
MADMAX1 did not hit in the USA.
However, it was a big hit in Japan.
So MADMAX2 was made.
The story of MM2 is in the samurai movie "Kogarashi Monjiro".
Because the original didn't get released in the US it was years before I realized that the bit that was shown in the intro of how Max's family was murdered was from the first movie. I found it in in a video store and I still make sure to watch it every year since.
Every frame of this movie is epic. I've watched it repeatedly and will re- watch it many more times. The Road Warrior is cinema legend , a milestone movie that made an indelible mark on culture. Made for what amounted to pocket change and a firestorm of guts and creativity. I fucking love this film.
I like how it drops you right in the car with max.
Mel Gibson, to this day remains one of the few great actors, who isn't afraid to call out the world's evil.
Because he IS one of the world's evils.
Stay mad. Nazis lost.
The dog deserves an Oscar.
Absolute masterpiece
Mad Max 2 is my favourite.
Love the engine sound at 1:43
That's how to start a movie.
You're damn right! I remember when I saw it in the movies, some guy said, "Place commercial here" as Max was driving away from the wreck.
Seeing this as little kid i just wanted Max to be fine, i was scared from that wild guy hahah .. I was like just leave Max alone, but Max didn't dissapoint me, ty Mel for making my childhood better lol, world class acting right there
🎸 greas tresh !! jaded vinyl
That’s weird I was exactly the same, I just wanted them to drive off in the other direction. It was quite scary in a weird way years ago. I think it was because he was on his own and there were loads of them. I’ve seen it about 30-50 times and I’ve got it on my sky box now!!!
@@simons4474 Yeah haha on point bro
The best Mad Max film
The best weapon would be spike droppers, very effective when being pursued at high speed.
And making fresh spikes is easy, assuming that you wouldn't go back and just pick up most of the ones you dropped as you salvaged the wreck you just caused.
Caltrops
The razor cola had these in fury road
That Landau looks even more badass than Max's Interceptor. I remember watching the movie as a kid and didn't know those were superchargers protruding through the hood, I thought they might be some sort of dart launchers :)
The 1st 10 minutes of Mad Max, The Road Warrior and Apocalypse Now will never be topped
I had been waiting to see this one after watching 3 then 1. I'd built it up so much in my head.....and when I saw that Landau, and the buggy, I already knew it was going to be WAY more than anything I could have imagined.
3:03のメル・ギブソンの「うわぁ…」って引いた顔好きw
idk why this scene is so perfect .its just beautiful
Sch. Covid
yeah but I've loved it waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy before covid. like VHS
No words are spoken and none are needed to convey the story.
I saw mad max when I was 11..a few yrs later I saw the road warrior not knowing at first it was mad max 2..when I saw the opening sequence I was like wait a minute is this..? Then when I SAW THAT CAR AND THAT GUN AND LEATHER SUIT I was like...THATS MAD MAX!!!!!!!!!!!! been my favorite movie EVER SINCE THEN....THE ROAD WARRIOR!!!!!!!!
Ich könnte es 100mal hintereinander sehen. Das waren Szenen ohne irgendwelche ""Spezialeffekte"" SUPER.👍
My favorite movie of all time. I wore out 3 VHS tapes of it and a DVD because I have watched it so many times. Trying now to locate a Blu-ray copy.

Obviously you're a man of taste, it's the best one.
@@robertminnis3244 Years ago when Thunderdome was being filmed there was a journalist on the set interviewing Mel Gibson. He asked what he thought of the movie he was making. Mel says "It's a piece of sh*t... Don't print that!" But they did, because I read it, lol!
@@duffysullivan2794 😂🤣 bloody journalists, can't trust them. I liked beyond the thunderdome too but the road warrior is the best of the original three.
I liked the first one the best. The toecutter was the best character
I like all of them.. the three different settings of the status of the society make them unique.
Been a fan of Mad Max since my childhood. Seen it thosuands of times still kicks ass never got bored of it. Mr.Miller is the godfather of carchasing and crashing scenes. ...and the way the 2nd part starts with this chasing we jump right into the action from the first second...just brilliant.
Define epic in just three words: Mad Max 2.
Yeah!!
The one where they got everything right
That’s two words and a number.
Two words and one digit...
@ two words and a digit...
I like the bits of dog related humour 😄
one of the most poweful intros ever. it lets us know what wer in for right from the off.
...agreed, but have a look at the intro to Mad Max 1, its no pussy either...
the definitive part of the franchise
Mad Max 2 is really about Max looking for the love of his life--which, of course--as it is with the most of us--winds-up being the bitch under a blanket with some biker she met in the desert--he takes a quick look back, but then thinks "Well, it's too late to get her now--besides, I have to get all this sand to wherever the fuck these people got me going. FML. The only person I really have to talk to is that kid who smells like ass and feet--and all he does is make noises when my shot-gun works."
I read somewhere that originally there was a scene just before this where Max passes by a farm house and Wes and co are there hanging the residents and taking their things hence why they give chase. Would have been a damn cool scene to see!
I love how the red punk haired bandit is helarious and frightening at the same time, when his screaming. :D XD
Trust me, in the darkened theatre when this movie came out, the audience was silent, slack jawed with eyes on screen. Nothing hilarious.
You should watch him beat up Cheech Marin and bang hot chicks on Shrimp on the Barbie.
@@doncallangher6177 Qe? what?! whoms was em?
@@oomahuntressprotectress848 The red punk is Wez. Everybody in the theater was blown away by his character - and Max as well.
I never get tired of watching it!
wow i still remember my parents taking me to see this.... That blower scene.... WOW.... Still LOVE it to this day..... Best movie ever....
Wez would later lose his blower.
Never realized until recently that the dude driving the motorcycle also plays the character Bennett on Commando, Arnold Schwarzeneggers rival.
I love the chatter of that leaf spring car as he slams on the brakes. That scene is burned into my memory.
THE DOG IS THE STAR AND MAIN CHARACTER IN MAD MAX. EXCEPTIONAL TALENT !!!
I agree. Not go mention that the dog was a stray dog about to be euthanized, was hired by George Miller upon retrieving a rock he hade thrown. He was trained and after the movie was filmed, he was adopted by Dale Aspin, the stunt coordinator.
Lovely story.
You are pretty baby
You are pretty baby
its name is dinky dee (if you played the ps4 game )
TWO WORDS . STAR DOG.
Of the three films imo this one was the best. Did see it in the theater and I don't think I took my eyes off the screen. Old story.of good versus evil but an original take none the less. Great setup for the rest of the movie.
Think I took my then to be missus to see this on our first date. So much better with cinema sound. Must have seen it a dozen times since. A classic.
that is amazing! yu have genuine class! lucky missus yu got, and visa versumum too,
This is simply the baddest continuous set of wild auto and cycle stunts ever put on celluloid.
I want that dog.
Aussie Shepherds are popular in the US these days.
Ce film m'a tellement marqué Je me souviens que j'avais une tante qui avait un magnétoscope. Goût de luxe en 1982/1983. J'avais 13 ans et le regardais en cachette tous les soirs. Une vraie obsession alors que j'étais une fille adolescente. Plus tard j'ai eu le magnéto et les dvd et ça a eté en boucle pendant quasiment 30 ans.
Je compte plus maintenant mais c'est l'ultime référence en matiere de film post-apocalyptiqye sans aucun trucage ❗️
Incredible how in the wasteland the roads are so well maintained. Everyone recognizes the value of the road repair crews for road warriors to keep battling over fuel.
To be fair, this film isn't exactly set decades after the world's collapse, so it's not too big a reach to think that at least some roads will still be in ok condition.
@@stuartwesthall but you'll find it amusing, that roads after world's collapse in movies and games are maintained in better conditions, then in some countries.

Max’s rock solid demeanor being cracked/rattled by the sound of the music box.
Ha had to turn it to get out all the moldy, green, dead skin out of it--after that, it would make the perfect gift.
The dudes retreading the tires must have been revered in this scenario.
Real cars, not CGI !
This series took the car chases thing into the next level
Регулярно пересматриваю,интерес не пропадает, режиссеру и актерам спасибо за фильм !
The shit they let them get away with was amazing. The stunt’s really were death defying as Gibson states himself. Remember the first Mad Max and the scene with the little boy? They really did let that kid run between the two cars!!
3:15 Dog tucking-in to roo road kill 😄
J'ai utilisé ce film en premier pour tester le premier home theater que je m'étais constitué, avec des enceintes faites par moi, et un système surround évidemment... et l'ampli qui gérait le son d'environnement donc...ce que je peux dire, c'est que je ne me suis jamais lassé de cette scène d'ouverture! J'avais l'impression d'avoir les oreilles collées à l'échappement, quel régal ce son !!! Les pneus qui crissent, la marche arrière, le V8 qui ronronne...quel bonheur !!!
No CGI...Not even a single word actually (unless you count screaming) - but you know exactly what's going on, who you're rooting for, who has been thru shit, who wants what, etc. So fucking good. Mel's face ignoring the festering corpse and smiling at the little music box like he still is protecting the tiniest bit of humanity is excellent.
Vernon Wells and his weirdo gay lover are just so unsettling as they try to intimidate Max.

Camera work and Music combining to create a masterpiece.
Totally agree. Why can't they produce movies like this today? Today movies live up to Woke ideologies. Movies MUST have shit green screen CGI. Movies MUST be women led (ideally a woman of colour, preferably transgender, vegan and in a wheelchair) When will they realise that box ticking doesn't make a decent movie? A movie that appeased the Woke, Tiktok generation, devoid of acting abilities and filmed in front of a green screen is utter shit! Stop appealing to the woke minority and make decent movies! Please! Ghost Busters 3 was shit. Terminator Dark Fate was shit. Jurassic world 2 was shit. I guarantee that Matrix 4 will be shit. Why? Because weak women actors have the lead roles. Yes Terminator Dark Fate ticked the woke boxes. A young, unheard of, bisexual, vegan woman played the part of the saviour. Her performance was very weak and unbelievable. As a result the movie was shit and flopped. As did Ghost Busters 3. Box ticking doesn't mean good movies. Quite the opposite.
Awsome stuff! Still don't know if those clutch operated superchargers exist 😁
That's one hell of a Ford.
One of my favorite films ever! They dont make them like this anymore!
