My dad took me to see The Road Warrior when it came out. We had such a great time at that movie. Unfortunately, he passed away on January 29th, 2024. I miss you dad.
These 5 minutes are enough to understand why MAD MAX 2 this is one of the greatest movies ever made. Unbelievable. This ending only gets better with time.
No Cgi..... along with Terminator 1, Aliens 2 , Tomorrow never dies , Back to the future , The Empire Strike back , Robocop 1, The temple of doom Indiana Jones , etc
George Miller said he wished he’d tried a bit more on the cars and costumes . He said in hindsight the vehicles were to good for the wasteland . They should have been more thrown together. He hated the cop car
Yeah, it hit Max and the audience what a great ride it was and also that every last man and fighting woman KNEW they'd be risking and possibly losing their lives so that the children and elderly (aka those who couldn't fight) could escape. The question is: if they sat Max down and told him the tanker was filled with sand, would he have driven it anyway?
What's so brilliant about this ending is that it really demonstrates that Max is a part of the wasteland. Which is also the reason he just skipped away from Furiosa in the end of Fury Road. Max, is not even a person anymore, the person that was Max Rochatansky is dead with his family. He's a phantom you can meet on happenstance in the wasteland. He might help you, but when you're delivered by him, he will fade into the wasteland that he had emerged and will not linger with you
It’s a classic Western trope - the hero saves the community, but he can never truly be part of it. Once the fight is done, he fades back into the landscape from which he came.
@@amcclory77Doesn't apply that much to Frodo Baggins. He lead resistance against Saruman and finished Bilbo's book and served as Mayor for several terms.
@@fromchomleystreetthe only way for him to temporary save himself is to save others. Why the part of him that don’t feel to be saved is the part that tells him that only himself needs to be saved is what drives him to this eternal loop
"He lives now... only in my memories." That line is only made more chilling by the fact that regardless of what happened in 3 and beyond, by the time the Feral Kid is telling that story, Max is almost certainly dead.
Max is the post-apocalypse version of the wandering samurai or the wandering gunfighter. You barely know him, he doesn't say much, and he fades into the horizon just as quickly as he arrived.
On every level, story telling, action, stunts, thrill, emotion, creativity, originality, acting, realism, etc. this is one of the best movies ever made. Note, no CGI or larger-than-life nonsense. Raw grit of human survival in a post apocalypse world.
And yet they pushed nothing too far. No silly back stories. Crazy big cars, but plausible within a certain time frame.People doing crazy stuff, as they would given no options.
Except that the action scenes are so slow-cranked it looks like a Silent Film comedy. As with everything… moderation. Unless you’re making a campy movie like this.
@@istvanvilmos8400 True. But definitely not as compelling as in this one. In "Thunderdome" Max becomes some kind of a hero. In "The Road Warrior", he's clearly not, only the main character. He ends up being a mythical character/father figure through the feral kid's eyes only. That's what's particularly haunting here to me. And we only learn who's telling the intro at the very end.
I absolutely love that these movies are like true fables or myths. Each iteration borrows themes and situation from the previous. it's as if they truly are being told around the campfire and throughout time, it begins to get wilder and wilder to match the "current" setting in which it's being told.
@@guytech7310 Furiosa is definitely not a superhero, if capabilities are what you're talking about. She lost to Max during the first fight they had, never had a single head-to-head fight in Fury Road after that except for the time she got on Immortan's car against an Imperator, which she only won one because Nux helped her. Not to mention she was saved by Max multiple times.
@guytech7310 (Shrug) I've really liked all the movies set in the Mad Max universe. Box office is just not a good indicator of quality - case in point, Blade Runner 2049. Finally, politics is also not a reliable indicator of quality. The whole cultural warrior angst young males have these days is just sure way to misery, and why so many of you guys are ending up as broke incels or active shooters. Get away from the alt-right mafia, actually talk to women and treat them like people, and pursue wise career paths. Basically, just be American. Good luck fellas.
Max resurfaces humanity and he successfully helped Pappagallo's tribe. Max's quest to help them is complete, and he choose not to follow them north, Max became a lone drifter again, wandering from every parts of post apocalypse Australia
I love the smile between max and the pilot, he is so damaged he barel makes anything resembling a connection with anyone in this movie but that is a great little moment
Their relationship evolution is one of the best bits of subtle character development I have seen in a movie. They go from enemies to an uneasy truce with a captor/hostage dynamic to becoming actual friends and partners in battle.
This ending - Max fading into the darkness - all alone; his interceptor, gone, his dog gone. I couldn't understand as a kid when he didn't go with the tribe. But I guess he felt he didn't deserve it. "He lives now... only in my memories."
The barbarous warrior fading/leaving the civilized group after he fought his way to obsolescence is common in story. An earlier example is John Wayne's character in "The Searchers." Wayne is a brutal barbarous sort of the kind NECESSARY to rescue the girl and tame the frontier. But when his job is done, he has no place in the new, civilized society.
His real name wasn't "Wayne," though so was fabricated horseshit; Max is real so will be remembered "We tricked that dumbass with a tanker full of sand."
The tribe didn't accept him. He was an outsider. The tribe didn't expect anyone on the tanker to survive, they were considered expendable & disposable so the tribe could escape.
There's still something wrong with that kid, though--even during the chase, he never motioned to Max to "blow the horn" when kids throughout the world do that every time they see a truck and the driver abides. All Feral Fred was interested in was a free ride.
Every Mad Max movie. Except for the first one, was a story told by the people he saved. He's a legend in the resurrected civilizations. The Road Warrior
This movie had the most tragic sounding theme to it I've ever heard. The gang lost both their #1 and #2 guy in an instant, plus they didn't get any gasoline. Virtually a death sentence.
Not to mention most of their vehicles were damaged or totaled and most of the fighters were lost in the chase or injured. The gang used up too many resources.
@@gustavoalmanza2673And most of the smart and capable fighters too. Sure I can drive, but to quickly think, make plans and co-ordinate things with others? That’s beyond my abilities.
It was a great choice to have them simply stare off and leave in silence instead of doing something like go kill Max. They might be the bad guys in the story, but really they are just normal people pushed to the limit by the wasteland.
I was 14 in 83 and saw it as the second movie in a double feature. Didn't know a lot about this movie. Don't even remember what the first movie was. This continues to be one of my all time favorites to this day.
@@michaelhagler7381 Aaaahh, the good old days of double features. I also went in to see it, knowing nothing about the movie or that there was a first Mad Max.
4:25 And somewhere along the line he learned to speak. This was the best Mad Max movie in my opinion. This particualr scene when the Feral Kid narrates "He now lives only in my memories" Is really chilling.
The ending of the Road Warrior was awesome. It sets up future Mad Max stories to be half-remembered, half-made up mythologies made by unreliable narrators. Stories where Max could effectively be anybody and confused for the original Max, because it's all been lost to time like the world in which Max inhabits. The original Max is almost certainly dead by the time the Feral Kid is an old man.
This collision like the end of Back to the Future III hits differently than most movies. Rather than a big pointless fireball, we see the vehicle burst into a million pieces right before our eyes. So effective.
This movie makes one feel the scarcity of resources. Not much bullets, not much to eat, and if something like that is found in abundance, people goes mad to maximum.
I love the shot at 1:57 . The attackers look desperate, they lost most of their friends, their family, their liders, so for a couple tons of sand. Drove by the gasoline rush, the tought they could get all the juicy juice. But in the end, they just lost it all.
They weren’t even angry, they didn’t scream out for revenge once the humongous and Wez were killed. They looked disappointed and saddened and left in silence. I really love the scene
Well it also comes to show who are the real nut-cases and who are more chilled about things, these 6 dudes are likely the more sensible ones since they didn’t die trying to get on the truck. Most (if not all) of the nuts are likely dead. So their gang might not be so bad anymore.
This ending was how I felt when I lost my wife. The loneliness that was felt in this scene is how I felt on that day. Everything else just kinda faded away but you still gotta go on.
Every Mad Max movie. Except for the first one, was a story told by the people he saved. He's a legend in the resurrected civilizations. The Road Warrior!! like this.
Most exciting car stunts ever filmed - some are almost unbelievable! And it was to conclude the "Mad Max" story. Another sequel was not originally planned and Max's fate was to remain unknown.
"The Road Warrior" is indeed one of tje best movies ever made. This amazing ending isproof positive of why that is. This movie had one of the best intros and outros in any movie. I get chills everytime I see it. 👍👍
LOVE that you see pieces of Wes and Humongous with the general debris scattered about...Humongous really HASTENED to his fate when he hit the nitrous-oxide switch!
To say that the head-on crash obliterated Wez and the Humungoius goes without saying great intense heart-pounding score from Brian May and the crash is spec-fuckibng-tacular! It still amazes me 40 years later...
Still my favourite movie of all time. Even after all these years it still beats all other movies I’ve seen. Really left an impression on me as a young man in the early 80’s.
I actually knew the Guy who was the stunt driver ( Dennis Williams ) driving the tanker and he said Mel Gibson was a top bloke to work with, he'd sit with all the guys and gals at the end of the day and play card's and have dinner, he showed me his photo album with all these super cool pictures from behind the scenes, believe it or not his day job was just a regular truck driver delivering freight.
Yeah, he's got his vices, but that's how people are. Everyone calling him a POS for saying some crazy shit blackout drunk 30 years ago is being rediculous, most of Hollywood diddles kids for hells sake. At the very least, he seems like a pretty normal guy.
@@tubbs2132 yeah this was all before he was a big star but Dennis could not fault him, in his eyes he was nothing special just a regular bloke with no tickets on himself.
@@roadwolf2 yeah, that's right, you'd think the producers would have picked up an easier truck to drive. From what I was told they picked up that Mack really cheap. Can't blame them I suppose knowing that it was going to be basically destroyed would certainly be a big factor in why they went with it. $$$
That smile Max gives the Gyro Captain is epic. The whole film is epic. Just wish somehow the Interceptor would have survived. Only Ford makes cars and trucks worthy of the screen. This was far better than Fury Road ever will be.
You got that right. Fury Road was so boring even the characters acted lame. Road Warrior kicked ASS! And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
@@D-FENS33 Fury Road was backwards. Lame characters. Writing was not up to it's - ok it was lame. They should have left MAX alone after the third film. That new Max didn't do anything for me. Not a good actor. And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Fury road mad max character was boring. But fury road movie was great and funny. It’s a very good post apocalyptic movie. To be correct the real name of the movie needs to be “impératrice furiosa fury road”
George Miller is a genius. A real like MD doctor and a filmmaker! Thanks for creating auch legendary art of work and one of my favourite action sagas Mad Max of all time ! Until Fury Road and Furiosa, I'll always support his works! Greatest legendary director ever! Mad Max, the true definition of the Lone Wolf Road Warrior! Spectacular, yet, iconic!
I think the Studio dictated a lot of terms that George had to follow. I don't think he would have made it those movies (badly) if he had full control like he did in the 1980s.
O Filme Mad Max 2 é Simplesmente insuperável! Pode passar cem anos, este filme será como um lançamento! Passa ano e anos, eu vejo ele sempre, para fugir da rotina!
It's a good movie I love how Mel Gibson plays max he is one of my favourite actors he looks so young there and I love the ending music it just has that feeling that you're just going to see him again
No reboot will ever come close to this masterpiece of a movie. Real stunt men and women risking their lives, and no CGI. They just don't make action films like this anymore.
Epic movie making. Why can't they make movies half as good nowadays I'll never know. The cinematography, the music, the post apocalyptic atmosphere is truely terrifying
Hollywood has grown so big, and so many stories have been told and retold, that they don’t want to take chances on anything that isn’t guaranteed to make them huge amounts of money.
I just noticed that at the end, Max is stand next to Pappagallo's car, which is a car that one of the bad guys was driving when Max delivers the truck.
I don't think exist Oscar for Genuine Entertainment ,but certainly this Majestic Film well DESERVES it !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I wish we can pay upfront and they make more REAL vehicles with much less CGI action Films as this ONE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The most brutally and richly deserved death for both of them. Even Wez's sanity returned briefly when he turned and saw Humungus barreling down on him. His mad dog persona slipped away as he realized his savage death was upon him.
practical effects were mind blowing and great But...... CGI ruined everything especially low budget CGI is too awful I would likely presume that this is a rising negativity of technology in filmmaking industry
While it is there, I don't trust CGI for blending with live action footage. If big things have to happen at budgets not the biggest, animation or bust.
Man if I ever write a movie, novel, short story or whatever I would definitely pass to my main character this Max's characteristic of him being a reluctant messiah, a man that doesn't want to get involved with anyone, but that changes completely the life of the people he meets, for better or worse, but in the end he'll always be on the road, alone and in a never ending search for purpose or redemption or who knows what...

"The Road Warrior" is indeed one of tje best movies ever made. This amazing ending isproof positive of why that is. This movie had one of the best intros and outros in any movie. I get chills everytime I see it. 👍👍
LOVE that you see pieces of Wes and Humongous with the general debris scattered about...Humongous really HASTENED to his fate when he hit the nitrous-oxide switch!
Great action, simple dialogue, (Ahhhhhh!) the look the Gyro Captain gives Max when he drives up. Outstanding.
He ceases to be Max and becomes the Road Warrior turning into a legend! Fade to black!
Back in the days as a kid with 5 channels it was always a treat when this was on. I was locked in start to finish.
That last shot is so epic 🔥
One of my dads favorite movie's, If it was on the air it was on our TV. Here I am in my 40's and it's definitely in my top 5.
this is by far one of the greatest road crashes ever created for any movie......
To say that the head-on crash obliterated Wez and the Humungoius goes without saying great intense heart-pounding score from Brian May and the crash is spec-fuckibng-tacular! It still amazes me 40 years later...
My favorite part of the movie....was the whole movie.
The greatest movie of all time
" he lives now only in my memories" what an awesome ending
Sounds like Titanic's old lady remembering Jack.
“All those moments will be lost in time… Like tears in the rain. Time to die”. -Blade Runner
Ending gives me chills everytime
I love the way they just give up in total frustration and drive away. That's the way most wars end.
Never noticed how crisp and clean the white and yellow road lines are! Almost like there's a crew still maintaining them.😢
MAD MAXはオレの青春映画だ。
憧れたなぁ。
メル・ギブソン若いのぅ。
No better line was ever spoken about who Mad Max was to a boy that remembered him.
"He lives now...only in my memories."
Still my favourite movie of all time. Even after all these years it still beats all other movies I’ve seen. Really left an impression on me as a young man in the early 80’s.
The two rogues getting the job done against all odds. Perfect.
I actually knew the Guy who was the stunt driver ( Dennis Williams ) driving the tanker and he said Mel Gibson was a top bloke to work with, he'd sit with all the guys and gals at the end of the day and play card's and have dinner, he showed me his photo album with all these super cool pictures from behind the scenes, believe it or not his day job was just a regular truck driver delivering freight.
Yeah, he's got his vices, but that's how people are. Everyone calling him a POS for saying some crazy shit blackout drunk 30 years ago is being rediculous, most of Hollywood diddles kids for hells sake. At the very least, he seems like a pretty normal guy.
@@tubbs2132 yeah this was all before he was a big star but Dennis could not fault him, in his eyes he was nothing special just a regular bloke with no tickets on himself.
@@tubbs2132 isn't it funny that shit we did when we were younger sticks to you like shit on a blanket, go figure.
They also say he was the only guy they could find locally the could shift a quad box mack
@@roadwolf2 yeah, that's right, you'd think the producers would have picked up an easier truck to drive.
From what I was told they picked up that Mack really cheap.
Can't blame them I suppose knowing that it was going to be basically destroyed would certainly be a big factor in why they went with it. $$$
Legendary ending!!!!!
that end makes my hair stand
That ending
That smile Max gives the Gyro Captain is epic. The whole film is epic. Just wish somehow the Interceptor would have survived. Only Ford makes cars and trucks worthy of the screen. This was far better than Fury Road ever will be.
You got that right. Fury Road was so boring even the characters acted lame. Road Warrior kicked ASS! And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
@@marcelmischeaux7256 Yesssss! Fury Road was an insult to the franchise.
@@marcelmischeaux7256 how can you think Fury Road is boring… never heard something so backwards
@@D-FENS33 Fury Road was backwards. Lame characters. Writing was not up to it's - ok it was lame. They should have left MAX alone after the third film. That new Max didn't do anything for me. Not a good actor. And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Fury road mad max character was boring. But fury road movie was great and funny. It’s a very good post apocalyptic movie.
To be correct the real name of the movie needs to be “impératrice furiosa fury road”
The shot with the dirt flowing out of the tanker is brilliant!
No CGI...Great Stunts & Vehicle Choreography, Great Music. That's why this will always be the best MAD MAX Movie
Long live the road warrior ....Mad Max 👍🏾
A truly great film, one of the best ever made...
George Miller is a genius. A real like MD doctor and a filmmaker! Thanks for creating auch legendary art of work and one of my favourite action sagas Mad Max of all time ! Until Fury Road and Furiosa, I'll always support his works! Greatest legendary director ever! Mad Max, the true definition of the Lone Wolf Road Warrior! Spectacular, yet, iconic!
日本でもマッドマックスの映画が人気があって、年に一回は出演した俳優さんを招いて、交流会を行っている。
マッドマックスは、当時のカワサキ、ホンダなどのオートバイに、改造したフォード車と今、見ても面白い。
I think the Studio dictated a lot of terms that George had to follow. I don't think he would have made it those movies (badly) if he had full control like he did in the 1980s.
The narration at the end is by far the best scene of the trilogy
3:47 to 3:50 says it all really. The music the overcast sky background....Cinematic brilliance
That movie had an amazing soundtrack.
This movie---often imitated. Never equaled. The mark of a true classic.
love the soundtrack
RIP, Bulldog Mack. You served us well.
Max Looked so badass in an unprecedented epic macho manner when he grasped that sand.
That mack truck is a legend
Eric, estoy de acuerdo contigo. Ve el video de mi Mack. RUclips. Mack DM 800 a escala
O Filme Mad Max 2 é Simplesmente insuperável! Pode passar cem anos, este filme será como um lançamento! Passa ano e anos, eu vejo ele sempre, para fugir da rotina!
Mad Max 1, 2 and 3 are all equally great in my opinion
It's a good movie I love how Mel Gibson plays max he is one of my favourite actors he looks so young there and I love the ending music it just has that feeling that you're just going to see him again
No reboot will ever come close to this masterpiece of a movie. Real stunt men and women risking their lives, and no CGI. They just don't make action films like this anymore.
Mad Max...... the ultimate man who walks alone.
Epic movie making. Why can't they make movies half as good nowadays I'll never know. The cinematography, the music, the post apocalyptic atmosphere is truely terrifying
Hollywood has grown so big, and so many stories have been told and retold, that they don’t want to take chances on anything that isn’t guaranteed to make them huge amounts of money.
I just noticed that at the end, Max is stand next to Pappagallo's car, which is a car that one of the bad guys was driving when Max delivers the truck.
And it’s the same car he’s riding in Thunderdome, first having it pulled then finally crashing it into Auntie’s goons
やっぱ傑作だわ。
何度も何十回 観てもいい。
And the road warrior, that was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now... only in my memories.
The best final scene ever!
I don't think exist Oscar for Genuine Entertainment ,but certainly this Majestic Film well DESERVES it !!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wish we can pay upfront and they make more REAL vehicles with much less CGI action Films as this ONE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The crash between the truck, and Lord Humungus' car with the punk in the middle grabbing the radiator grille, man, how wonderful!
The most brutally and richly deserved death for both of them. Even Wez's sanity returned briefly when he turned and saw Humungus barreling down on him. His mad dog persona slipped away as he realized his savage death was upon him.
And the two prisoners still alive.
This should've been the ending of the franchise.
I love how max is like a campfire story
Beautiful music
My number one favourite movie of all time
"And so began the journey north, to safety..."
The greatest action movie ever
My favourite movie of all time
Quanto ao guerreiro das estradas? Ele vive agora, apenas em minhas memorias,....
It is so refreshing to see a scene that is real and organic and not CGI. CGI is so fake and ruins movies.
Preach!
practical effects were mind blowing and great
But...... CGI ruined everything especially low budget CGI is too awful
I would likely presume that this is a rising negativity of technology in filmmaking industry
While it is there, I don't trust CGI for blending with live action footage.
If big things have to happen at budgets not the biggest, animation or bust.
That is an amazing shot of the road warrior at the end
Man if I ever write a movie, novel, short story or whatever I would definitely pass to my main character this Max's characteristic of him being a reluctant messiah, a man that doesn't want to get involved with anyone, but that changes completely the life of the people he meets, for better or worse, but in the end he'll always be on the road, alone and in a never ending search for purpose or redemption or who knows what...
read The Man Who Never Missed by Steve Perry
@@ian.swift.31614 Thanks for the suggestion friend, I'm gonna check it out.
This still the best of the Mad Max movies always has and always will be ✌️👹👍💯
How did they make the camera rapidly zoom-in Wes and Humungous (as if it were attached to a car) without hurting anyone or damaging anything?
Pull away from them and edit it in reverse?
@@normturner4849 I have no idea why I didn't think of that.
Such awesome shots, Humungus tapping the nitrous oxide and speeding off
I just ordered the trilogy, I loved them all,
