I love this movie so much. The tragedy of a good man losing his family, his best friend and driving into the vast wasteland of an even darker tomorrow.
The final scene of Max speeding down the highway reflects the state of humanity: Lost, confused and going nowhere down a lonely road. Road Warrior is my favorite, but this ending is one of the most powerful moments in Post-Apocalypse movies.
"The chain in those handcuffs is high tensile steel.It'll take you ten minutes to hack though it with this." (holds up hacksaw).. "Now if your lucky, you can hack though your ankle in 5 minutes.. Go." Absolute Legendary line.
3:02 There's something about the explosion with that fade shot with that sound to the emotionless look in Max's eyes. It's like that explosion was symbolic in that the old family man is gone and now appears as a man who has lost everything and who ventures out onto the open road to hunt down more enemies.
I really like the ending, it's a dark scene of the road, the look on his face. I don't think Max enjoyed killing them but he was so hurt at what they did to his family he had to get even.
Bri G. I believe that Mad Max, in a small way, DID enjoy the kill. Like he told Fifi McAfee, if he spent any more time out there in the rat race, he would be a terminal crazy, only he has a badge to say that he's one of the good guys.
What an amazing ending scene. It's so cold. After killing that worthless pycho he just takes that dark roads going nowhere. His face reflects his destiny. He knows what his new fate is going to be like.
@@small_ed The whole point of the Mad Max films is exactly what you miss in saying that. There was no civilization left to have counsels or trials, and when all else fails the one rule that still remains, Eye for an Eye.
Post-Apocalypse movies are almost always reimagined Westerns. Many of the concepts about revenge, loss and uncivilized brutality are the same in both genres. Max himself is a lot like the characters you'd see in Italian Spaghetti Westerns.
In Mad Max society was collapsing, and in The Road Warrior it has collapsed completly since it takes place a couple years later. It's barren in TRW because he drove away from the scraps of civilization into the outback desert.
In TRW it wasn’t completely barren. In the outback (even after the apocalypse) there was still bushes & trees, altho they were starting to rot due to the world running out of water. It later did become barren in Beyond Thunderdome, & then fully barren in Fury Road.
It's actually all barren not just the outback by the time of the third movie. There was a nuclear incident between TRW and BT. It's been confirmed by Miller. The hint we get as the audience is when Max scans the water at the beginning of Beyond Thunderdome with a geiger counter.
@@gatorarman12 I always thought that the nuclear apocalypse happened before the first movie and the coastal areas rebuilt society while the outback degraded into insane lawlessness. But I mean if Miller confirmed it I believe it.
The actor who plays Johnny the Boy is really good. He runs the full gamut of tactics a psychopath would take in situation where he's cornered. From deflection to excuses to questioning to anger to rationalizations to bluster to outright exposed madness. The actor really shifts well between each, from lows to highs, and it all feels 100% genuine without being overdone (admittedly in a movie with some pretty scenery chewing performances). He's despicable and pathetic in his madness and yet you know he's also dangerous if given a chance. Yet there is this spoiled childishness to him. The little screech he gives always stood out to me as the sound of some spoiled kid finally having some discipline applied and screeching in shock at it more than the pain itself. It's a great scene and the actor play Johnny really makes it work perfectly.
Yes, I also saw this film double-billed with the Road Warrior at a midnight showing back in the 1980s and the audience cheered and applauded after this scene. Johnny the Boy was the most despicable one in Toecutter's gang and he had this coming to him.
I love that even after Toecutters death, the movie ain't over. We still have this one antagonist that's basically a mosquito in all of this, and an injured Max treats him that way. But yeah, I love how the movie breaks tradition by ending not with the main villains death but instead with an ambiguous decline of the last member of the gang. It truly made for iconic, smart, and cool ending that is hard to rival.
I really liked that too. Because Toecutter was the true main antagonist of the film, you would think that they would have him be the last guy to get killed. I thought it was cool how they didn’t make him the last guy to get killed and instead had this be the final scene of the movie
@@superjackster0165 I know why they did it too. Johnny was responsible for Goose's death and raping that lady, and he escalated alot of the things that happened in the film. Only fitting he go last, and the worst possible way.
This spot looks nearly the same. But about a kilometre up the road it's got houses haha. You can't see them due to the fact it's in a massive valley. It's about 25 mins from the Tullamarine airport, next to Sunbury.
Fun Fact. The rolled Ute in final scene was not rolled on the actual right hand corner before Emu Creek Bridge. It was rolled 100 yards or so up hill on same side from the corner. And the skid marks on road were painted by Andrew 'Sluggo' Jones the Traffic Director. And he played the dead body of Ute owner that Johnny was draging to steal his boots.
why surprised, movies of that times was always well done, and the script always was very accuracy with the tale and good writing, is TODAY when there are a crisis in movie industry, when you watch this movie you get it at first sight, everything, but when you watch a movie today you need four books, lot of interviews, and two movies more with explanations of what the heck happen in the first movie, movie industry today not worth a dime
A classic movie ending; by the time the credits roll, we realize Max actually stopped being a good guy/hero; morale of the story: vigilantism takes a heavy toll.
Toecutter's gang shot him in the knee, then ran over his arm when he tried to reach for his gun. That's why he has a metal knee brace and a missing sleeve in Mad Max 2.
Great shot of Mels emotionless,1000-yard stare as he drifts out into the unknown and dangerous wastelands in the excellent sequel. For in that moment after the killing of johnny the boy,max knew there was NO TURNING BACK. He lost everything and everyone he ever cared about and there was no reason to return to a crumbling civilization. The hero's path to revenge and the consequences of its aftermath can be a harsh mistress indeed.
I remember seeing this at a midnight show at a college. All any of us knew was the second film of the series, and this answered lots of questions. The explosion in this sequence was followed by an eruption of cheers and applause.
One of the greatest, badass, satisfying revenge kills and endings of all time When he said that line you can feel the anger, sorrow and pain in his voice. Mel Gibson was incredible in this role
Plot twist: Johnny survived and became part of Dementus’ horde’s in Furiosa. (If you don’t know Tim Burns who played Johnny plays a biker in a scene for Furiosa)
I lived just around the corner from this final scene, as he drives up the hill, and the final explosion happens. For years, I used to drive my Wife mad, telling her where we were, every time we drove past there. (True fact. It's the exact same place we see Max for the first time, just shot from a different angle). The worst thing about this, is that that area is almost as bad as the movie depicts, these days. I,m so glad to live in the country!
Wow to hear about that. Probably not much happens there but I've wondered about that the locale and such. Greetings from the USA btw the Deserts of SW US & Mex offer a similar scenery.
@@podcastfan2544 Greetings from Australia, Buddy. The whole area really is just an extremely low cost housing, low wage magnet, now. And, the worse it gets, the worse it gets.

@@alastairward2774 Australia is all prohibited. Its all just like this movie, which is actually a documentary. Im so glad i dont live in Australia. What a horrible place.
I watched this movies (first and second movie) 10 000 times, I am age 39, I was raised on this movies... ofcourse I love what Max is doing to this... sc.m of the earth, but man... we dont want to be in his shoes... this is a man who lost everything... everything... AND YES, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HERE, would do the same... but how would we feel? Like him... at the end of this masterpiece movie... a good man, totally broken..., that is... the greatest tragedy... so be grateful you have your family and people you love... because if anyone would do anything to them... there is no one (at least in my mind) who would stop me from taking justice into my own hands, but it would just end us, totally, after all that... even I would want to die...
I don't think he loses it, he just buries it. It almost resurfaces at the end of Mad Max 2 and he definitely shows his human side when he helps the lost children in Beyond Thunderdome.
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
or thunder dome cus having him RR maybe woulda been a little too cliche imo, but a appearance somewhere woulda been cool nd he woulda had a hard time driving or riding missing his right foot ,
Iv always loved the use of morals in relation to Max with this film, like he mentions earlier hes scared of turning into those he hunts, whats great is at 1.45 Max looks as if he shouldnt be doing this, then when we next see him he has this slight crazy smile to him, such great acting by Mel, especially considering its one of his first roles
I have always found it intriguing the one thing that most people overlook about this story .. It was revealed by Bubba that Toe Cutter was trying to fashion Johnny the Boy into a new Night Rider. ... But in the end he ended up creating him out of Max.
@@gustavosouza45994 well when you saw the movie with 8 years old, and the guy have 2 choices, to cut his own foot or cut the chain to live, i dreamed about this several times
One memorable line: "You're mad, man, you think I look silly, don't ya? Ha ha... Don't bring me on this, man! Don't do this to me! Sweet Jesus, I was sick!" I still have it in my head, lol...
It is strange, yeah, but that's what makes it so unique. George Miller had a distinct artistic vision that set the Mad Max series apart from all the other action flicks of the time. If you think this one's weird, you should see the third one! I love them all, though.
I actually like to think that the other members of Toecutter's men are still alive, (especially Mudguts and Clunk who survived falling the bridge) Max only caused the demise of Toecutter, Johnny and Bubba, since Toecutter was the leader of the gang, Johnny burned his partner and Bubba was the only one to try and run him over
Filmed around Werribee. Along Koroit creek road on a sunday so legend says. Then onto broken Hill with a bigger budget. The bigger the budget the sillier it got.
Duude that is awesome. The last bit with him driving in the middle of the road suggests "I am free, but I am not." because there is nothing left in the world to be free for. So he is just alone.
Option A: Ten minutes to haw through the cuffs. Option B: Five minutes to haw through the ankle. Option C: Blow up. As for Max, he drives off knowing he didn't kill the man, but he didn't bring him to justice either. Fair trade.
especially when its a cop delivering the justice and when you mention dc and marvel vigilantes marvel has mad mad and he is known as the punisher same story wife and child die revenge plot.
@yethboth That's a good question. I'm just wondering if it will ever get made. I know they have a script and a cast and everything, but this isn't the first time they've tried to make Mad Max 4. Besides, the actor playing Max (Tom Hardy) will be pretty busy, since he's playing Bane in the next Batman movie. I hope they find time to make Fury Road! I'd love to see Mad Max ride again.
You should listen to when Johnny the boy says "we remember the Nightrider" in the dubbed version, like not to be rude to Americans but their voice actors are.............their really something else aren't they.
The spring perch bolt on that truck isn't "high tensile steel" like the cuffs.He could have hacked through that bolt in one minute easy,especially if he was panicking for his own life.Plus,he's mechanically inclined or he would'nt have been able to rig Goose's bike chain to lock up at high speed like he did.

This is just proof that you dont need a "sky's the limit" budget to make a decent quality film. Best Action film ever.

They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well, damn them! You and me, Max, we're gonna give 'em back their heroes!
This is far more mercy than i would give....
I love when he says "I want to know what you're doing".
One of the best endings in Action movies history ☺️
The bridge is still there. Almost exact.
The scene that inspired the SAW movies. True, the makers said so.
WOW I honestly didn't know that 😱
"Your Mad man!
You think i look silly dont cha?!
HAHA
dont bring this on me man..."
I wish I could hear Mel speak more with an Australian accent. Mad Max is the only time I've ever heard it
Allison Holly they actually dubbed it with American accents,it completely diminishes the movie!
Octavian Caesar Hibernicus
Pray tell
Yes ..When I bought the DVD in 2001, it was the first time I got to hear the actors real voices. And it is much better.
I think I grew up with a different version!
he lost his australian accent a long time ago, now he sounds like a american with some hint of british or scottish
That feeling when you live in Australia and you drive down the roads this was filmed on in your dads HQ monaro
One memorable line: "You're mad, man, you think I look silly, don't ya? Ha ha... Don't bring me on this, man! Don't do this to me! Sweet Jesus, I was sick!" I still have it in my head, lol...
This frelling movie and the franchise it spawned - holy carp! I wonder if they all had any idea.
"I'm not a bad man - I'm sick"
Max has a cure for that...
yeah it was filmed around melbourne and the outer areas like sunburry. You can even see Melbourne's Bridge in the background of some of the scenes.
always loved this scene, proper revenge!
やはりMad Maxは1stだな‼︎
最高✨
It is strange, yeah, but that's what makes it so unique. George Miller had a distinct artistic vision that set the Mad Max series apart from all the other action flicks of the time.
If you think this one's weird, you should see the third one! I love them all, though.
While watching this, i realised that Max was the first "Jigsaw" 20 years before Jigsaw even came out.
"You got 5min to cut of your Ankle or you die"
awesome ending to a great movie with an even better sequel
I actually like to think that the other members of Toecutter's men are still alive, (especially Mudguts and Clunk who survived falling the bridge)
Max only caused the demise of Toecutter, Johnny and Bubba, since Toecutter was the leader of the gang, Johnny burned his partner and Bubba was the only one to try and run him over
Right at the end you look in Mel's eyes and you just know what he's thinking: "GOD DAM JEW"
The guy looked more Italian than Jewish.
Don't be stupid.
I have keen observation skills. You are just blinded by moronism.
SanDan3rdDan
Your keen observation skills somehow missed that Sally Smith wasn't even replying to you, dork.
I am now imagining Eric Cartman if he we the star of Mad Max...
The greatest aussie movie ever produced in the history of Movies
I like how Johnny tries to defend himself by saying a court of law diagnosed him as a psychopath.
RIP Hugh..The Toecutter... Thank you!
Frontier justice.
takes me back to the first ever video tape i rented from my local store!
"YOU THINK I LOOK SILLY DONTCHA?" Haha
I laugh every time XD
DojoMuppet you're bad man! LOL
"DON'T BRING THIS ON ME, MAN!" sobs
I want to know what you are doing ? Ya can't kill me mannn.
Filmed around Werribee. Along Koroit creek road on a sunday so legend says. Then onto broken Hill with a bigger budget. The bigger the budget the sillier it got.
Johnny the boy is still at the wreck, stoned again, he's never gonna learn.
TheGodParticle But we are going to teach him, Bubba. You...are going back for him. 👍
Nope. "Johnny the Boy has done it again. This time it's a scrubber. He's never gonna learn..." :')
"I want to know what you're doing!" Ok, princess.
Before there was Jigsaw there was Max
My favourite Movie to this day the stunt work is amazing..
Please do not reboot this franchise. We don't need another hero! We don't need another Robocop! All we want is beyond total recall!
There is no reboot.
There most certainly is! The internet told me so!
It's essentially Mad Max 4 called Mad Max: Fury Road. The trailer is on RUclips.
I know I know...don't go nerd on me. Would you rather have a reboot or a new movie? Either way it's gonna end up like the new Robocop...
Go nerd? Just stating a fact... I'm sorry that offends your sensitive nature.
Duude that is awesome. The last bit with him driving in the middle of the road suggests "I am free, but I am not." because there is nothing left in the world to be free for. So he is just alone.
I would be more worried about the bull ants on the ground
Option A: Ten minutes to haw through the cuffs.
Option B: Five minutes to haw through the ankle.
Option C: Blow up.
As for Max, he drives off knowing he didn't kill the man, but he didn't bring him to justice either. Fair trade.
SAW ripped off Mad Max =)))
+Vampires Crypt and a shitload of Vincent Price horror movies
So did Rorschach from Watchmen.
More like inspiration
Max knew what was coming ahead, as we all do..
I love mad max
Brought to you by the director of "Happy Feet"...
Fuck today's 'Costumed Superhero' movies from DC and Marvel- THIS is how you do vigilantes.
especially when its a cop delivering the justice and when you mention dc and marvel vigilantes marvel has mad mad and he is known as the punisher same story wife and child die revenge plot.
@yethboth That's a good question. I'm just wondering if it will ever get made. I know they have a script and a cast and everything, but this isn't the first time they've tried to make Mad Max 4. Besides, the actor playing Max (Tom Hardy) will be pretty busy, since he's playing Bane in the next Batman movie. I hope they find time to make Fury Road! I'd love to see Mad Max ride again.
Um…
I was so happy when I bought the Aussie version without the idiotic accent overdubs
You should listen to when Johnny the boy says "we remember the Nightrider" in the dubbed version, like not to be rude to Americans but their voice actors are.............their really something else aren't they.
@@johnandy2587 lol no offense taken. The dubbed version was ridiculous
The spring perch bolt on that truck isn't "high tensile steel" like the cuffs.He could have hacked through that bolt in one minute easy,especially if he was panicking for his own life.Plus,he's mechanically inclined or he would'nt have been able to rig Goose's bike chain to lock up at high speed like he did.
"Mad Max"...judge, jury, and executioner.
I remember how i used to watch this as a kid,hiding and keeping the volume down,it was very late,had school next day but i couldn sleep knowing this film will be :D
