It's the thing I had to keep reminding myself, that the MM setting was post-Apocalyptic, yes, but same-generation. So Max, Auntie and others of that generation still remember what it was like before, it's only the children that see the pre-collapse world as legendary.
Bartertown and how it works and its social structure and architecture and everything was the most interesting part of this movie, wish they had done much more with it. I'd be interested in a fictional documentary just on Bartertown.
Just like Australia! I do love these Australian documentaries. I have seen the Mad Max series, Wolf Creek, Crocodile Dundee, Neighbours, Chopper...This is what it is like in the Australia and the outback. Good fuckin A!
Well from outward appearances Bartertown uses a Roman style gladiator combat system to settle disputes, but it’s more based on the philosopher, Kant's Utilitarian Logic, that it's better to kill, and punish a few people to prevent lawlessness, and death from escalating to claiming a lot more lives. I would have liked to seen more of a backstory explained about how Aunty Entity, and her warriors, and merchants put the place together. But, it is implied in Mad Max: The Road Warrior that a lot of the former cops joined the gangs wandering, and killing for gas based on the vehicles, and some of the stuff they were wearing in the prior film. So, maybe that way of life couldn't be sustained, thus some of the gangs organized, and got Bartertown started somehow.
Thunderdome is one of the most anti-climactic movies I've ever seen. The thunderdome shit, Bartertown, etc fucking badass, but yea the lost boys part is zzzzz
Small detail i like, he kept eye contact proving he could draw them all just off memory, hinting as to some of the shit hes been in, assuming the awe of the others was partially do to that not just the amount,the item in his mouth was to keep attention on his face so theyd notice aswell. More of a flex than the weapons as to him stating who or what he is, and by leaving the weapons sorta says he doesn't need them, most collected along the way anyway right?so hes good at psychological combat as well. Humans have a tendency to show off, subtle ways are the best.
the music at the very beginning is clearly phenomenal, the initial (drum and organ🤔) 'rumbling' is so intense and intimidating. You just know Bartertown isn't going to be an easy ride.
Even though for the longest time my favorite Mad Max plot was from Road Warrior, I now actually like the one in Thunderdome the best, where Max is used as a pawn in a government coup during an internal power struggle. The movie itself wasn't the best one of the franchise to IMO, even though it had some merit, but the plot was still a unique one. My take on it anyway.
Its a necessary movie in the series. Mm1 and mm2 were full-on real world chaos with murder and rape. This one is more light hearted as society is piecing itself back together. Alot of the story is tied together with this one. It seems max was 2 people. In mm2 he was almost feral and was max the wanderer. In mm3 he slowly becomes rocketansky again.
Loved the first two MM films, but this was a true cinema experience when I saw it ( in Roseville, they had a 4 quad speaker system when they played this film, one of the first theaters outside of the THX systems ). Definitely a great film!
Fun fact: Knife Boy was actually a member of the film crew that was showing off his knife skills to other crew members when the director saw it and cast him for the scene.
I grew up in Melbourne Australia which is coastal and green and one family holiday we were driving inland and I noticed the soil becoming red and I got excited knowing I was entering Mad Max's wasteland.
So cool that we could easily rent most movies on videotape by then (1985) instead of waiting for a TV channel to edit it , cleaned-up for family viewing as network television operated in the 1970s and beyond. I made a copy of the rental for my own collection and watched it over and over.... Today I have a digitized copy, but I still can play back the entire movie in my head even today. So awesome. Tina made it twice as good.
I'll bet that the character of Gizmo in Fallout 1 was based on the fat guy at the entry of Bartertown. And the Mauser pistol (not sure but it looks like one) was also used in Fallout 1 as a unique gun. You could pick it up from Gizmo's dead body.
Hub from Fallout 1 seems heavily based on Bartertown. Then Hub in the games was how the whole Bottlecaps thing began. IIRC, the caps are what gets used in this movie as well.
I saw that the man behind the weapons window slid out what looked like a chit or some sort of metal ticket to show or identify Max could reclaim his weapons when he left Bartertown. Yet he never picked up the chit. Plus there were a lot of them on the wood counter when Max turned and walked away. So maybe he would not know which one to grab. Yes, I know it's a movie so suspension of disbelief and all that jazz, all that cal. Small thing yet still a cool film.
As a 9 yo, this blew my mind 0:01-0:19 ; unforgettable; to this day, I still appreciate a good camera angle with visual poetry attached to it; Miller is right up there with Spielberg or Cameron
For me, easily the best movie of the Mad Max trilogy. Hollywood with no happy endings, you don't see that everyday. Add the incredible performance of Tina Turner, both as the lead actress and her brilliant soundtrack, this movie is topped only by Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
If I remember correctly between each film, Max obtains the V8 interceptor on a quest for revenge, has it again in road warrior, loses it prior to Thunderdome yet acquires an arsenal of weapons, only to lose them; then reacquires the V8 in fury road only to lose it again at the start. There has got to be like 20 adventures we never get to see in all the timeline. (yes I understand the theory that mad max is a title of a lone warrior/wanderer of sorts and can be anyone) but for the sake of progression there are many many unanswered questions as well as stories that can be told.
The V8 Interceptor was completely destroyed in Mad Max 2 which is why he doesn't have it in Thunderdome. Fury Road probably takes place somewhere between Mad Max 1 and 2.
@@SuperKratosgamer OK, I'm not being confrontational here. Where would you put Fury Road in the timeline? Is Max now a usurper of the title or a fraud? In this world there is a man who drives a distinct car, and is cynical; gasoline is truly a luxury and the world is a desert waste. He is haunted by his past...alas...Mad Max
Casting agent with Angry Anderson: "Well mate, ya got the tattoos we think the character needs... how'd ya feel about wearin' some leather pants and strappin' on a harness that holds a pipe to ya back with a ceramic kabuki-type mask fastened to the top?"
Radioactive Water Guy is so confusing.... - How was he not rotting from being unprotected around water so hot it nearly broke the geiger counter ? - What wouldve stopped max from just using one of his shotguns on the guy who was peddling around murdering people with his Fallout-Aide? Who wouldve even looked twice at him, esp if he couldve easily and quickly proven that the guy was selling deadly water?
I really hope there will be a pre/sequel to Fury Road. Thunderdome had so much in the first 70% then fizzled out for me. Fury Road truly re-delivered this franchise , more please.

I saw this for the first time when I was thirteen. That industrial background beat gets stuck in my head to this day.
You mean the Bartertown Theme??? It rulz
The first half of the movie is one of the best hours in the history of sci-fi movies. So much creativity. The 2nd half, after the kids show up? Gag.
Yeah the part with the kids is pretty annoying compared to the badass movie Max max road warrior
Thank Return of the Jedi...
Studios saw the success of "kidding up" the franchises. Fuckin Ewoks...
Thunderdome is one of the most anti-climactic movies I've ever seen. The thunderdome shit, Bartertown, etc fucking badass, but yea the lost boys part is zzzzz
Wish they had a Director's cut with no kids. The first half of the movie was the Shid!
The part with the kids was OK. Not terrible, not amazing. Just OK.
Conveniently pulls out a rad detector - cool Max. ;)
geiger counter
Not everyone has a Pip Boy
Man it sucks he never saw those weapons again
Always bothered me , clearly still, and if he had that many why give them all up as the whole point was for decoys in scenarios like this!
I count them every time I see this scene...
Small detail i like, he kept eye contact proving he could draw them all just off memory, hinting as to some of the shit hes been in, assuming the awe of the others was partially do to that not just the amount,the item in his mouth was to keep attention on his face so theyd notice aswell.

I love how extremely irradiated the water is that the guy tries peddling Max into buying. “Have a nice day!!”
Its only water, dude
Just boil it.
Yeah, from Chernobyl’s reactor core from the sounds of the Geiger counter.
Figured out the rad level from the sound it's 4.6-5.2 roentgens ether way that guy is peddling death!
"what's a little fallout heh? LOL
This movie gets a lot of shit thrown at it.....but its still better then 90% of the crap Hollyweird now churns out!
No one throws shit at this movie. It's a critically successful movie, and movie franchise
most fanboys just mad he didnt have his car in it
And a lot better than fury road

It was cathartic to watch him pull out all those weapons.
Guy behind the bars sure wants to return ALL those weapons.
Earth Truth Hunters He’s like, this is some good shit here.
@@fattyant1 Word of advice to guy behind the bars- if you wish to have your arms remain stuck to you- everything is returned to Max.
They're the weapons of his vanquished enemies.
This movie was so creative, we don't see this anymore
Nearly 40 years after seeing this the first time on HBO and I can still remember that steel drum track note for note.
"What's a little fallout" always liked that line, always loved "MAD MAX" though, ❤ 👍 xx
The amount of weapons max relinquishes at the end is hilarious.
"Leave your weapons here, but first... clank them around a bit to make it sound like you have 12 guns, when clearly you have like 4 at most..."
Still nicer than Detroit.
Cleveland too
Huh, it wouldn't take much.

George Miller: Hey mate, think ya kin do that little trick while wearin' lethuh bondage geah and a mohawk made uh fethuz?
He seemed so dejected when Max blew his feathers off.
Didn't he learn from Indiana Jones film that doing fancy moves like that doesn't work against someone with a gun?😂
"Oh, and of course he'll be desperate to clear his conscience."
I grew up in Melbourne Australia which is coastal and green and one family holiday we were driving inland and I noticed the soil becoming red and I got excited knowing I was entering Mad Max's wasteland.
Love Max blowing away the head dress of Mr. Nunchucks, whose chucks go limp...classic. A page from Indiana Jones...
Intentional or not the craftily timed humor in this film is perfect!
Another great post apocalypse movie, and an extremely underrated one is "A Boy and His Dog".

Also one of the shells for his shotgun fall off the counter and they are very valuable in the mad max world
he knew about auntie em trying to recruit an out of towner for a hit. since everyone prior had failed he expected Max to die.

Bartertown - Build Back Better
How much time has passed between this movie and the Road Warrior?
a year or more.
According to what little background lore there is, somewhere close to 12-15 years after Road Warrior. And Road Warrior was 2-3 years after Mad Max.
