One of the things I always appreciated about this film was the graffito printed on the side of the rig. When Max first find the rig, the graffito says "THE VERMIN HAVE INHERITED THE EARTH." The word "EARTH" is printed on the door of the cab. So when Max salvages the rig and returns it to the refinery, and when the rig is attached to the tanker and sent out to do battle with Humungus's legions, it just says, "EARTH," as if the rig carries the last best hope for humanity.
I've always loved the attention to detail George Miller paid to the villains in this film, both in terms of design and implied backstory. It seems that there are three distinct different groups; the dune buggy guys who cover themselves in animal pelts, the 'Bad Cops' which appear to be ex-MFP like Max, and the BDSM biker punks like Wez, all united (presumably) and led by Humungous. It's something so trivialized in other movies but it makes the bizzare world of Mad Max and the characters that inhabit it so much more believable.
Had a tougher voice than in Commando- I love listening to your pissant soldiers talking tough, they make me laugh......if Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
It’s also interesting cuz Max isn’t running away from Wez. He’s running to the cannon in order to get rid of the rest of the bad guys. I think it’s more than a threat. I think Wez is trying to distract Max.
Did anybody know that Vernon Wells' character was named Wez? Red mohawk dude has a name. Then he became Bennet and Arnold helped him let off some steam.
It's cut out of this clip, but I love the part where a misc. henchman sees the truck coming, jumps into his car and catches up to it. It's a fairly long take, the hallmark of great action directing.
It's not really cut out out, you can say it was in the clip or scene right before this. The guy with nice sounding engine, does not really sound like a v8
Flying Rancid M00n Fish , the gyro captain was going to eat the snake when him and Max got back to the copter with the diesel fuel , and the gyro Captain said fricassee of reptile , it's better than your Dog food
CGI has its place, don't hate it. Rest assured, plenty of filmmakers go for realism, and thus use less animation. Some movies, like Sin City or The Avengers, you literally can't portray those sceneries in real life, so CGI creates the sets. I love realism too, but CGI is fine if it's the best option.
Liquidazot Oh yeah. See, James Cameron's team literally invent their own technology to make their movies. Terminator 2, Titanic, and Avatar all shared state-of-the arts CGI for the time, and they came out looking great. What people don't like to see, is when a massive budget film settles for less than the best, which is when the CGI can look out of place.
real85er , that wasn't him , that was his twin brother , the one who wears pants in the family , and he was also the villain in Weird Science or was that his twin brother too
The movie that introduced the world to Max and his dystopian world to us. And made a star out of a relatively unknown Mel Gibson. He really did seem like a new Steve Mcqueen back then, the same calm, coolnessreason
I first seen this movie in 1981 and there is a naked lady on the back side wing of gyrocopter , as I watched this movie many times since then it is blurred out , good thing I have the original copy and can watch it any time I want
You see it later on when Max wakes up in the 'hospital' truck after being rescued from when he gets run off the road by Wes and the Interceptor destroyed. He wakes up, looks up and you see a shot of that poor guy lying on a bunk with a dent in his forehead. I still don't know if he's meant to be dead or in a coma.
1:38 I've been looking at the Mad Max 2 character lists. Who is this guy? He's given no mention anywhere, despite being one of the more distinct members of Pappagallo's tribe.
This movie kicks so much ass . Love this film. Fell in love with this movie back in the day when it came out So much action and people getting fucked up. Lol ha Love it
Ugh. Sorry, but that car chase scene makes me grateful for stabilized cameras. Could hardly tell what was going on with all of the bouncing and shaking.
I always thought this the most awkward line in the movie. YOU, YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE. At no point does Mad Max do either of these things. This movie series was my Star Wars. Thanks.
@@rossbrumby1957 funnily enough, Mad Max arguably follows the Star Trek curse, with Road Warrior and Fury Road being the great movies in the series and Mad Max 1 and Beyond Thunderdome being not as good (though still pretty great movies)
This movie also has other surprise twists. The stern and beautiful Archer Woman dies. In a more predictable movie she would have become Max's love interest.

@@theducksneezes4987Thunderdome underrated though. It's pretty solid
Always loved that lighting flash on the headbutt!
@cosa nostra nope. George Miller even did the same effect again in MadMax 4 (2015) as a throwback.
Funny as hell like telegraph.....
"You,you can run but you can't hide!!" Best sentence!
Best threat ever
That's what Trump said to Hillary!
Had a tougher voice than in Commando- I love listening to your pissant soldiers talking tough, they make me laugh......if Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
And yet Wes (I think that's his name) doesn't go down and check that Max is dead after the last of the V8's is blown up; he fears Max.

One of the best action sequences in the whole series in my opinion.
Did anybody know that Vernon Wells' character was named Wez? Red mohawk dude has a name. Then he became Bennet and Arnold helped him let off some steam.
And became the most powerful power rangers villain ransik
The dude does a perfect flip with a twist. Followed by head butting someone
All while wearing chaps 🤦🏼

"Check"

Nevermind guns, crossbows and arrows. In the Wasteland, they throw snakes at ya.
Best comment
And the sport gear haha.
What a scene. Impeccably shot and edited.
classic film,it never ever gets old!!
i watch it recently and i love it, yeah
In the post apocalypse only Sports equipment, BDSM gear and leather will survive!
Sohave Damn right. In leather we trust.
🤘👽
Aqui agamenon torres d Fortaleza ce q continua na trilogia mad max nos dias atuais nas estradas nao e diferente ok pessoal
Sohave well done sir
its the toughest
The apocalypse in the movie happened in 1970's - time of punk. So, only punk fashion survives
When he said you can run but you can't hide was awesome
0:35 - 0:50 RIP snake, your sacrafice will not be forgotten :'(
Flying Rancid M00n Fish I bet the snake was saying "Witness me!" 🤣🤣🤣

The snake is a public serpent....I'll get my coat.

One of the best
0:59 ohh shit! this isn't the brony convention
Lol
Lmaoo 😂😂
Lol that was the director
I'm amazed nobody died during production!
I think that some people died and all aussie stuntmens are badly injured in shooting MM2
no just some time at the local hospital.
A couple stunt men got injured pretty bad ( broken legs etc) but I believed the recovered.
That’s because Miller is a doctor, and a smart one at that!
I need to find one of those old school police helmets.
Go down to the Blue Oyster. Ask one of them fools.
Use an angle grinder or a jigsaw
@Michael Savin nah. Can't beat Tina though.
@@Neildo430ci *PROCTOR!*
Awesome movie,
It was banned in NZ, eventually I got see it though, one of Australia most iconic movies..a true masterpiece ☠️

Wez has a sick headbutt 'finishing move'
1:00 Oh snap, Guy Fieri got roasted!
Welcome to Flavor Town!!!
Let the semi rig returns. That's vicarious good.
1:51 I love how they charge a flame thrower. The worst tactical decision

It's Playboy Playmate Karen Price. Miss January 1981.
Flame throwers were made using surplus DoD stock (Bofors 40mm), hence a thank you in end credits to the Royal Australian Navy,
The bloke in the pink Cadillac that gets torched is the director George Miller.
Its actually a DeSoto, not Caddy
No it isn't.
The look on his face is hilarious lol
Desoto Firesweep....1959
Really? Dont look like him.
When the store stacks up more toilet paper.
Every character in this film - even the ones with only one or two lines, has an arc.
The guy the jumps off that tanker then just walks away is beast mode.
1:45 I could've sworn you saw the dint in the guys head. It must of been cut :/

In this episode of outback truckers we present...
1:00 world is ending but this dude got time to paint his beard to pink
You gotta look good.
As it turns out theres quite a lot of downtime during global turmoil
I never got the pink car and beard combo
Do you know pink was once a boy color?
and wtf did he even get it from?
0:15. You got to hand it to them they remember to always wear their face mask even in the post apocalypse
Some of their social-distancing skills leave a lot to be desired though.
2:46 anyone notice thats the ford landau from the beginning chase?
Swapped it out with white valiant who towed it there?
You mean the cop car? I could see it was a fairlane but that's about it. Shame about the Chrysler by Chrysler hardtop though.what a waste.
Probably my favourite scene of the whole movie.
Now Aussies are fighting over toilet roll
0:50 and that was the end of Roop and Charlie... Until Fury Road comic where they (at least for a while) joined Colonel Joe.
Wait what
@@MightyEFX Read Mad Max comic book ;)
I know they joined immortal Joe before the events of fury road, but in mm2? I don't think so
One of the best scenes in the entire film.
Yeah I agree.
Where are Gary and Wyatt when you need them? They put Wez in check!!😂😂😂
Talk about a war zone. The '80s was a crazy time.
0:38 There's a snake in my boot XP
Hard to believe he is the bad guy in commando.

original screenplay
I read the book- paperback printed after filming but cent remember how it turned out, after all it was the 80's!
When the shipment of toilet paper comes in.
Is this what all australian gas stations are like?
I don't see why you prefer house so easily foldable... When ya can have the monster, that DOES the folding.
Gibson looked Good in leather! 👍

Better than fury road !!
Damn truck driving in 2024 is a tough job…

Nothing beats the Original!

Why cars from this original movie didn´t had cameo in Fury Road? That would be great.

+MrCouchmen I think that Fury Road made more badass versions of the vehicles. This trailer had nothing on the War Rig.
I hate it when people don't look back to the past.
Some of the same models were used. But seeing as these cars were blown up, having them reappear would not make sense.
each and every was just blown up and crashed and rebuilt and modified just too many times.
