Fun fact. They didn't have a dog. The script called for one. Crew went to the pound. That dog was living his last day. Scheduled. So the bailed him out. Put him in one of the best movies ever made as side kick to the hero. And then to a farm after filming to live out his days.
I like how the Gyro Captain was a different kind of survivor in the wasteland to what Max was. Their approach differed but they both had with it took to survive in a ruthless land.
I love the Gyro Captain, he's as cunning as Max - he's smart enough to have one set of tracks out from the 'copter but to have camouflaged his tracks back. It's a shame Bruce Spence's character in 'Thunderdrome' wasn't the captain. It would have been good to see two old mates get together.
SPOILER - It makes sense though since he led the caravan at the end of the movie to start a settlement as a chief. The narrator was the feral kid who later succeeded as the next chief.
@@0866aikon yeah, but it's pointed out that it's this character that steals Max's vehicle in the very opening scene. Quite how Max is able to recognise someone whose he sees only momentarily from a distance, is a bit of a plot hole.
This is the first Mad Max movie I ever saw in the theatre as a kid. I later rented the first one…and of course have seen every other one in the theatre as well. Each one is amazing, but i think this will always be my favorite. George Miller has truly created an incredibly original & awesomely cinematic Universe. Even today at 80 he makes better action movies than directors half his age. My only hope is that if he has another Mad Max film in him that Gibson returns for one last go as an aging Max in the post apocalyptic outback of Australia. Nothing against the Furiosa character(which i love)…but what a fitting way to wrap up this series of films that would be!
Mel Gibson is a great actor...who makes good movies ;-) Mad Max is just the first of a long movie list...in Mel's films there is always action but also clever themes.
Robert Lund Nah, its true. Mad Max movies and Lethal Weapon movies are awesome. And the ones he's directed are awesome too. What films do you like? Disney star wars? Marvel/DC movies? Terminator dark fate? Ghostbusters 2016? Charlies Angels 2019? All modern movies are woke trash.
his best acting was in Hamlet. Shakesphere would be proud! If you haven't seen that you are missing the fullness of Mel Gibsons acting talents. and like all Mels movies the sets, costume and acting peers are superb. Truly Mel Gibson is one of very few actors with real talent.
I like how Max is so attached to his car that he actively warns the Gyro Captain that it's booby-trapped so that he doesn't blow it up trying to steal the fuel.
he also knew his knive was down there so was hoping to surprise him with it.giro was not far off saying he had brains being the reason hes still alive dispite his odd ball self. only thing he didnt see coming was the dog laying low in the car.
The reasoning behind it was he knew the gyro captain was a fuckwit he could easily trick so he didn't want to lose his car to someone like that when he could get out of the situation, that's why he says "me, I got brains" so in a few seconds you can laugh at the irony.
Also , Dark city and star Wars prequel. ( talks to obi wan 3:24 3:24 kenobi about lord lord Siddious ? Multi -armed driod ) you know. It ) and he was the mouth of Sauron in Lord of the Rings 3 . Before he was decapitated by Arargorn. But cut from the original movie, I the extended movie
I just love how George Miller refuses to drive the story through dialogue at any point and tries to keep it disjointed and broken as much as possible. Except the people in the refinery, everyone, including Max, speaks in short simple sentences and don't even talk much.
0:39 Never noticed the detail on the back fin of the gyrocopter. 1:40 From the beginning of the dialogue it seems they may have run across each other before, and this is yet another chapter. A real life Wile E and roadrunner day.
@@marialva8235 If the movie timeline stated the end of the world was around December 6th, 1984........ Karen was one of the last 3 Miss Januarys to ever exist. That is if Hugh kept the empire going amongst all the warfare. He probably did.
@@scars4all834 .. Actually, the correct name of the breed is the Australian Cattle Dog. They can be blue or red. All are born white and show their colour as they age.
I watched a great RUclips review for MadMax2. Had to agree that GyroMan had all the signs of someone who treasured life, who had not given up. Colourful clothes, and flower in lapel of coat. Yet Max had objective reality as well. When he was sorting through possessions of dead man and took little music box, he discarded the dice. No place for luck in hard world, for you have to make careful planned decisions to survive. Unlike Han in that Han Solo movie where he loved his dice.
When this movie came out we tried hard to figure out the make of car and the dog breed. Back then I had never heard of an Australian-made Ford Falcon, nor a breed called "Blue Heeler", "Queensland Heeler" or Australian Cattle dog. All three names apply to this one. Today I have a Blue Heeler myself and sometimes I think he is smarter than I am. Amazing dogs. Look them up here on RUclips.
This is probably my favourite scene in this movie, apart from the " it's got a cracked timing cover"......mechanic scene. Bruce Spence is EFFING OSCAR WORTHY in this scene...funny AF.
Thanks for the HD vid! I'd never noticed before; but it looks like the Pursuit Special had: Tramp Rods; and (what looks like) some Monroe air shocks. neat....
Faketrollname sevenbillion It's interdependent. He maybe said something when being drunk that sounds antisemitic to some people, but it is simply a lie that he is an antisemite and he never did an antisemite action. He has a lot of Jewish friends. Mel Gibsons alleged Jew-hatred is just mainstream media hysteria bullshit.
Max was trying to rob him, he saw the tracks still went after his pet and his fuel, he deserved to be held up. Max then goes to kill him which the Gyro Captain didn't do, otherwise he'd have just shot immediately. Not that Max wouldn't let him live without info in another scenario, but Max is definitely no hero. At least not anymore and I think that's why he never tries to settle down. What he's become after his family's death and his efforts to survive disgusts who he really is at the core of his being.
I never noticed the "interesting" tail decoration on the gyrocopter before! When I first saw this as a strapping lad, I would have paid attention to such thjngs, lol. I guess it speaks to how good the scene is that I didn't!
This is the funniest line out of the whole movie: "Looks like I got meself some gasoline ay? ay?! v8?!!!" - loool @ballrub - We don't say gasoline we say petrol - gasoline must've been used for the american audience

+Bahama Lynn Sawdin it pretty much is though. Visuals outstanding. Story was fucking awful. Script: Let's leave here. It's terrible. "Ok" (Two hours later) Actually it's shit out here. Shall we go back? "OK" Movie credits.
@@marialva8235 , Yes , I know , I had that issue and still have her picture , Now , looks like I got some gasoline , Booby trapped , touch those tanks and Boom
The Gyro Captain needs an ally here or he's gonna die. When ol' Maxy shows up I bet he almost pissed himself. He wants simple humanity, as does Max, Max may have abused him, but he won through. They ultimately become not just allies but great friends. Great lesson here boys and girls.
Mel Gibson is great and I love the three earlier films, but there is nuance in Fury Road that shows a kind of evolution, both for the character and the series. Tom Hardy brings depth to Max and I did not find him in any way secondary to Furiosa - powerful as Theron's performance was.
Fun fact.
They didn't have a dog.
The script called for one.
Crew went to the pound.
That dog was living his last day. Scheduled.
So the bailed him out. Put him in one of the best movies ever made as side kick to the hero.
And then to a farm after filming to live out his days.
Now that, is a good story.
"And the Road Warrior?... That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my Memories...."
I've seen it about 75 times, never gets old.
I like how the Gyro Captain was a different kind of survivor in the wasteland to what Max was. Their approach differed but they both had with it took to survive in a ruthless land.
This is the movie that made me want a gyrocoptor, but the licensing here in the United States is extremely expensive.
Before he was a billionaire player that had a heli pad and a small runway in his yard.
I watched the road warrior in the days of CD players, but can't find it here on RUclips, wanna see it again, any way to help?
