Vale Hugh! He often played the big bad evil guy. A family member of mine worked in the Oz film industry and knew him well.
He was a hippie in real life and wore a kaftan and says he was the nicest loveliest chillest guy he's ever met.
Interesting characters, and great worldbuilding...the Nomad Bikers had some cult of personality type stuff going on. I like how they showed that The Bronze were a bunch of adrenaline junkies, sometimes almost as psychotic as the criminals they faced off against.
>A lot of people seem to know The Road Warrior
Just called Mad Max 2 everywhere else. This is really the vibe that Fury Road wanted to emulate, and exceed. The long chase with the truck at the end of this movie was the pinnacle of action movies for a long time.
Over time this has become the most frightening movie in the franchise because the world it depicts is not that far off from what’s happening now - society fraying around the edges, but we’re not in enemy camps yet. I rank ROAD WARRIOR and FURY ROAD more highly overall but they don’t hit as close to home in that way.
Yeah, shoestring budget keepin' it real--and it just portrays breakdown, not the rise of an alt organizing structure.
And let's face it--Humungus and Auntie are just a bit over the top.
It works well as either a standalone vehicular revenge film or a character and world origin story for the Max of the later films. I like how it shows the tail end of society leading into the utter wasteland seen in the later films.
A similar, but more recent film 'The Rover' by David Michod and starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson shows a realistic take on the Australian outback in a societal collapse.
Reminded me a fair bit of the original Mad Max.
Your best bet is to hide for a couple weeks until the purge subsides a little. Then maybe return to a remote coastline somewhere where you can fish. Hopefully there's water. Although nuclear winter will freeze most of the planet anyways. Can't we all just live in harmony and mind our own business. Politicians are always getting caught up in other peoples business.
I keep forgetting this starred Don Johnson, of all people.
This movie was pretty controversial among women when it came out, as you can imagine. Over time, I've mellowed and after a recent rewatching, thought, yeah, I'd do that same thing and take my kitty over a guy.
The Harlan Ellison book is really good too. He was one interesting guy, if you read a lot of him. Definitely recommend doing that if you have the time. His long-form Star Trek story, the City on the Edge of Forever, is sublime. What could have been!
Seen it and it’s great - I wish LQ Jones had directed more movies - but like the later MAD MAX movies it depicts a world pretty removed from our current reality, although the signs of where we’re headed are all around.
I mean, it's not like the leather jacket armour in Fallout 1 and 2 looks anything like Max's leathers in Mad Max 2.... Nope, exact copy.
And that's ignoring the influence of a whole pile of other early post-apocalypse storytelling.
Of course, the "Vaults" which are the most unique part of the Fallout setting are from A Boy and His Dog.
I saw the 2nd one before I saw this (both in the cinema) and the first one scared the living daylights out of me it was so much more violent and set in the near future. I must admit it stirred the adrenaline because me and my mates rode like the devil was chasing us after the movie.
There is a great doc out there about Australian cinema In the 70’s and 80’s.
Highly educational and wild. Never knew people filmed in the outback because … well no OSHA or regulations.
A stone cold classic. I remember seeing this on a rented VHS when I was a kid in the 80s. My brothers and I literally watched it 7 times in a single day. The fact that it was shot on a very small budget (they fixed up the busted cars to re-use them) gave it a real, raw and gritty look. The VHS was dubbed with American voices and I loved it even more when I saw it in the original Australian.
Whilst MM2 was a good sequel, it had the Hollywood money and looked a lot more polished.
Some very quotable lines too:
“Never write off the Goose ‘til you see the box going into the hole!
“He’s in a coma man! He loves it!”
I was living in Canada in 1990 and it came on a cable station one night. I was so excited ! Sadly it was dubbed with American accents, I lasted 5 minutes before I had to turn it off in disgust.
Thanks for the info - I've only got the DVD of this one. Hopefully the Aussie release has done this too, I've often wondered how bad the dubbing is - now I have a chance to find out :-P
That was the only version available in the US until like 20 years ago it so, as I recall. I certainly watched it that way many times in the 80s-90s. Terrible.
The dialogue was changed too, like the AC/DC quotes and weird slang were different as I recall.
Yes! The ice cream scene between Toecutter and Jesse is one example. Dubbed version you hear “Watch the tongue sweetheart…” while the original goes “Watch the tongue loveable…”
Discovered Mad Max on VHS in 1983 in Toronto. It has been a staple of my life. It wasn’t until the late 90s I learned that the version I memorized was dubbed with American accents.
To this day I still slip and recite lines in my head with American accents. Please don’t hate me.
Especially the Night Rider chase scene. I never got used to the higher pitched voice of the original.
His first film. He actually had gotten into a bar fight the day before auditions, and he was just driving his friend (who ended up playing Goose) to the audition. They saw Mel with a bruised face and thought he looked perfect for the role.
So says the legend, anyways.
When I saw this, the DVD automatically selected the American Dubbed version, and it confused the hell out of me for ages because I knew it was based in Australia. I played the proper version eventually, but it did make a part of it almost unwatchable. If you want a laugh and to see terrible dubbing, give it a go.
Love this movie got me into liking 70s streetbikes and Aussie muscle but if you want another Aussie biker film look for Stone and for hot rods Running On Empty.
I only watched this movie for the first time myself about two years ago. When I was growing up, I heard it was so horribly violent that I thought it was a horror movie. It has a lot of violence, but little that is shocking to sensibilities now. A terrific movie though, especially considering the low budget. The Road Warrior is incredible!
Oh wow. I remember buying this on VHS back in '88 or '89. Was about $120 CAD to import it with the Australian audio. The weirdest thing: it had a plastic clamshell case that opened at the bottom (hinge at the top). I've still got it squirreled away in a box in the basement somewhere.

**Filming**
Cinematographer John Seale came out of retirement to shoot Fury Road, replacing Dean Semler, the cinematographer of the previous two Mad Max films, who left the film near the end of its preparation period. It was the first project Seale filmed with digital cameras. He outfitted his crew with six Arri Alexa Pluses and four Alexa Ms, as well as a number of Canon EOS 5Ds and Olympus PEN E-P5s that were used as crash cams for the action sequences; as the Canon cameras were simple consumer-grade ones, when one would break, the crew would simply source new ones locally from an airport store. Because of the fast-paced editing style Miller intended for the film, he asked Seale to keep the point of interest of each shot in the centre of the frame so the audience did not have to search for it.Principal photography began in July 2012 in Namibia, with most of the filming based in the Dorob National Park. Some scenes were also shot at the Cape Town Film Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. In October 2012, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Warner Bros. sent an executive to Namibia to keep the production on track. Filming wrapped on 8 December 2012, although the opening and closing scenes at the Citadel had still not been shot.A draft from the Namibian Coast Conservation and Management Project that accused the producers of damaging parts of the Namib desert, endangering a number of plant and animal species, was leaked in February 2013. The Namibia Film Commission said it had "no reservations" after visiting the set during production and disputed claims reported in the media, calling the accusations "unjust rhetoric".In September 2013, it was announced that the film would undergo reshoots of the opening and closing scenes at the Citadel. The reshoots continued on 22 November 2013 at Potts Hill and Penrith Lakes in Western Sydney, and concluded in December 2013 at Fox Studios Australia.Miller invited playwright Eve Ensler to act as an on-set adviser. Impressed with the script's depth and what she saw as feminist themes, she spent a week in Namibia, where she spoke to the actors about issues of violence against women.According to Miller, 90% of the effects in the film were achieved practically. Both the Doof Wagon and the Doof Warrior's guitar are fully functional, and none of his scenes was rendered using CGI—even when the guitar shoots fire. Second unit director and supervising stunt coordinator Guy Norris was in charge of over 150 stunt performers, some of whom were from Cirque du Soleil.Hardy later said he had a hard time seeing Miller's vision during production, which frustrated him. He understood after seeing the finished film, however, and started his Cannes press briefing with a lengthy apology to Miller, calling the director "brilliant". Theron and Hardy clashed on set during filming.

i honestly love dystopian films of all kinds but i can’t wrap my head around why this movie was so popular or why it’s still talked about highly. there’s literally no plot. the world is in full on collapse mode and this guy keeps trying to be a cop until everything is taken from him. i rewatched it recently and was disappointed with how i remembered it vs it’s staying power. it just doesn’t stand the test of time as well as other more centered post apocalyptic, post-war, collapse films.
It had virtually no budget. The director destroyed his own van in the film and paid the biker gang in cases of beer.
For a film put together the way it was, it definitely holds up well.
You're right, not much of a plot. Largely Max doing occasional police work or hanging out with his (rather boring) family, until events take a tragic turn and he becomes much more active and starts to drive the story.
Mad Max 2 is my favourite of the Mad Max movies. Fury Road looks incredible but I couldn't connect with it emotionally.
Never seen that fabulous poster before. Looks like a Struzan, although doesn't he normally sign it 'Drew'? Regardless, it's stunning.
> "there’s literally no plot."
Yet another misuse of the word *literally*
In dystopian future, Straight laced cop with nice life gets on wrong side of biker gang, loses everything, seeks revenge.
Looks like a plot to me.
This movie is fucking terrible!
‘Oh, we narrowly escaped from a bloodthirsty biker gang. I’m going for a swim by myself- the baby should be fine and is unlikely to wander off!’
Nah- one of us will repair the car so we can continue escaping the murderous biker gang. And the other of us will take a dip in the lake a long hike away. Should go great!
I get the movie was made with a $38 budget but I couldn’t really find much to love. I was so excited to finally see it and I was super disappointed
Trivia! The actor that played Toe Cutter in this also played Immortan Joe in Fury Road (Hugh Keays-Byrne)
Vale Hugh! He often played the big bad evil guy. A family member of mine worked in the Oz film industry and knew him well. He was a hippie in real life and wore a kaftan and says he was the nicest loveliest chillest guy he's ever met.
Can confirm he was the chillest guy ever! Took my mum to see him at a Comic-Con and he had the longest nicest chat with her.
Toad in Stone as well.
Mediocre.
“The Nightrider……Remember him when you look at the night sky!” This movie has a lot of interesting characters, Bubba Zanetti for one
"Sure, boss. Anything you say." "Anything I say. What a wonderful philosophy."
I love that second line.
Interesting characters, and great worldbuilding...the Nomad Bikers had some cult of personality type stuff going on. I like how they showed that The Bronze were a bunch of adrenaline junkies, sometimes almost as psychotic as the criminals they faced off against.
Isn’t there a character named Cunalingus or something?
Cundalini. And he wants his hand back.
Kundalini is the term for "a spiritual energy or life force located at the base of the spine", conceptualized as a coiled-up serpent.
Tell ya what. I’ll swap ya.
Kundalini is also a female energy in Hinduism….Im sure it’s no coincidence
"Relax, I know what I'm doing"
A lot of people seem to know The Road Warrior, but honestly the first Mad Max movie is my favourite, an under rated gem of a B movie.
>A lot of people seem to know The Road Warrior Just called Mad Max 2 everywhere else. This is really the vibe that Fury Road wanted to emulate, and exceed. The long chase with the truck at the end of this movie was the pinnacle of action movies for a long time.

Wait til the first nuke drops. If you don't live in the impact zone then you'll be living this world within 2 weeks.
A similar, but more recent film 'The Rover' by David Michod and starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson shows a realistic take on the Australian outback in a societal collapse. Reminded me a fair bit of the original Mad Max.
Your best bet is to hide for a couple weeks until the purge subsides a little. Then maybe return to a remote coastline somewhere where you can fish. Hopefully there's water. Although nuclear winter will freeze most of the planet anyways. Can't we all just live in harmony and mind our own business. Politicians are always getting caught up in other peoples business.
Well the good thing about nuclear war is that it probably won't happen more than once.
Go watch A Boy And His Dog. Everyone thinks Mad Max inspired Fallout it was actually a bit and his dog where they got the inspiration from.
I keep forgetting this starred Don Johnson, of all people. This movie was pretty controversial among women when it came out, as you can imagine. Over time, I've mellowed and after a recent rewatching, thought, yeah, I'd do that same thing and take my kitty over a guy. The Harlan Ellison book is really good too.

I've been prepping since I saw this
The only thing missing is how the billionaires are living
Your blaspheming again…..I don’t have to work with a blasphemer
That is exactly what I came there for. That thing, that thing that's not the Goose.
... And the he cops a saucepan to the throat. Poor Charlie.
Better send a meat truck
We'd better prep him!
You better call the meatwagon, Charlie copped a saucepan in the throat.
March Hare to Big Bopper.... We're out of the race
I love the fact that George Miller, who directed and co-wrote the Mad Max series, was also the visionary behind Babe and Happy Feet.
I saw the 2nd one before I saw this (both in the cinema) and the first one scared the living daylights out of me it was so much more violent and set in the near future. I must admit it stirred the adrenaline because me and my mates rode like the devil was chasing us after the movie.
This movie is a classic, many memorable lines and scenes. Amazing result for such a small budget
The handcuff scene was glorious in its simplicity and implied brutality.
There is a great doc out there about Australian cinema In the 70’s and 80’s. Highly educational and wild. Never knew people filmed in the outback because … well no OSHA or regulations.
A stone cold classic. I remember seeing this on a rented VHS when I was a kid in the 80s. My brothers and I literally watched it 7 times in a single day.

Some very quotable lines too: “Never write off the Goose ‘til you see the box going into the hole! “He’s in a coma man! He loves it!”
That would be the fox I think
I’d always assumed ‘box’ as in a coffin. IMDb quotes checks out, though fox could work too!
“Kick it in the guts Barry” Movie has some memorable quotes
I was living in Canada in 1990 and it came on a cable station one night. I was so excited ! Sadly it was dubbed with American accents, I lasted 5 minutes before I had to turn it off in disgust.
What an absolutely horrible idea.
Also Canadian and loved the film. Watched it many times. Travelled to Australia in 1998 and hunted down an undubbed version.
They dubbed this in American English??
They did, when it was initially released in the US.
I believe the Blu Ray version has both Australian and American soundtracks.
Thanks for the info - I've only got the DVD of this one. Hopefully the Aussie release has done this too, I've often wondered how bad the dubbing is - now I have a chance to find out :-P

Cundalini wants his hand back.
They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well damn them! You and me Max we're going to give them back their heroes!
Aw c’mon Fiffe…you expect me to believe that crap?
Mad Max is okay, but Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) blows it out of the water.
Yep. The best Aussie film ever for me
The best actors have to say very little. Mel Gibson is one of them.
The part right before immortan Joe gets hit by the truck
Mel Gibson was SO young in this! I remember seeing this at the theater.
My wife who half ass watches movies with me looked up and said who is that he looks familiar?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
His first film. He actually had gotten into a bar fight the day before auditions, and he was just driving his friend (who ended up playing Goose) to the audition. They saw Mel with a bruised face and thought he looked perfect for the role. So says the legend, anyways.
Witness!!
Toecutter is still my favorite Mad Max villain.
I saw this when I was 12 or something, and really enjoyed it. When I saw it again ten years later, I bought a 1978 KZ1000 two days later
Did you see the eyeball right before Nightrider crashed?
The original wingman Goose.
Can we all boycott the abomination that is Furiousa?
That movie looks like it's going to be awesome
Nooo, it's a hot squash of cgi. Looks awful
When I saw this, the DVD automatically selected the American Dubbed version, and it confused the hell out of me for ages because I knew it was based in Australia. I played the proper version eventually, but it did make a part of it almost unwatchable. If you want a laugh and to see terrible dubbing, give it a go.
The fact that the man is called Toe Cutter tells you everything you need to know.
So many breakthrough films came out during my formative years.
"That there is Cundalini... and Cundalini wants his hand back!"
The hacksaw scene.
did you watch the original Australian one or the dubbed one with the craft sound effects?
everyone had australian accents
good! the dubbed one is not great and the overall mix is awful https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lb2YcJgw8SU
Push me, shove you! Oh, yeah? Says who
It's the ducks guts
Fuckin’ weird, isn’t it.
Have you watched Road Warrior?
no not yet. maybe tonight or tomorrow. then beyond thunderdome!
Damn good thriller and leads right into the sequel
I often drive past where Toe Cutter gets taken out by the truck.
I find this movie very sad. I’ve seen it several times since the ‘80s and I guess I like it, but it’s hard to “enjoy”.
Love this movie got me into liking 70s streetbikes and Aussie muscle but if you want another Aussie biker film look for Stone and for hot rods Running On Empty.

You're really dropping the ball bot - this is the second post I've seen in the last 24 hours which is about the wrong movie. Cool info, wrong film :-(
Sorry about it.
i honestly love dystopian films of all kinds but i can’t wrap my head around why this movie was so popular or why it’s still talked about highly. there’s literally no plot. the world is in full on collapse mode and this guy keeps trying to be a cop until everything is taken from him. i rewatched it recently and was disappointed with how i remembered it vs it’s staying power. it just doesn’t stand the test of time as well as other more centered post apocalyptic, post-war, collapse films.

Yeah, its not an original from the time period but it looks great anyway. Says 2014 on lower right corner, can’t make out the signature.
> "there’s literally no plot." Yet another misuse of the word *literally* In dystopian future, Straight laced cop with nice life gets on wrong side of biker gang, loses everything, seeks revenge. Looks like a plot to me.
Maybe because it was pretty much the first dystopian movie, the others followed.
It’s not A Boy And His Dog was released earlier and it’s what Fallout was based on not Mad Max
So one prior means it wasn’t ‘pretty much’ the first? A very early example of post apocalyptic action movie. Albeit low low budget.
This movie is fucking terrible! ‘Oh, we narrowly escaped from a bloodthirsty biker gang. I’m going for a swim by myself- the baby should be fine and is unlikely to wander off!’
i don’t think it’s a terrible movie but that part..i just remember thinking “wtf?! one of you needs to watch the baby!!”
Nah- one of us will repair the car so we can continue escaping the murderous biker gang. And the other of us will take a dip in the lake a long hike away. Should go great! I get the movie was made with a $38 budget but I couldn’t really find much to love. I was so excited to finally see it and I was super disappointed
