Thanks for the support!
www.therpf.com/forums/threads/mad-max-interceptor.94594/ The remains of Max`s car in 2006 including the red 4x4 from part 2....
Interesting fact... the supercharger never worked in part 1 it was an electric motor hooked up to a battery just off screen...
That thing is a gyrocopter. Yes they are pretty dangerous.
don't get too excited about the 3rd movie, although I see you have already watched it by the time I am writing this
I have some movie suggestions you may enjoy that other reactors have NOT done ......
"Gangs of New York" (drama based on true events)
"From Dusk Till Dawn" (horror/comedy w/Quentin Tarantino)
"Basketball Diaries" (drama w/ DiCaprio)
"Natural Born Killers" (drama w/ Woody Harrelson. Screenplay - Tarantino. Director - Oliver Stone)
"Steel Magnolias" (drama/comedy w/ all star female cast)
"The Sting" (Redford & Newman)
"The Untouchables" (drama w/ Sean Connery & Kevin Costner & Robert DeNiro)
"Fargo" (film not tv show. Dark comedy and true story)
"Mildred Pierce" (classic Joan Crawford)
"All About Eve" (classic Bette Davis)
"Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" (classic Crawford & Davis together)
Nobody gonna talk about those stunt men? No tricks, no generated scenes just a few dummy bodies for death scenes and some people with the biggest balls in cinema history.
That guy at 20:25 got seriously injured doing that stunt, but it's damn amazing to watch!
@@dwaneanderson8039 Almost died, that flipping part wasn't meant to be.
@@dwaneanderson8039 he was alright in the end (after smashing his leg)- i think he played Furiosa's wingman in Fury Road.
These kids don't know what they're seeing anyway. I'd rather they just stick to their own era's horseshit to be honest.
Yeah, they're too dumb to appreciate the greatness of this movie.
This movie became the blueprint for the post apocalyptic genre. And the amazing thing is that Max is only passing through this main stories, almost like a legend type character. I love this movie, and the simplicity of it!
Their is also a good amount of Cyberpunk in here as well (specifically Nomads). This is one of the reference movies listed in the Cyberpunk 2020 world book.
@@Heegaherger there's literally no cyberpunk elements in there
R. Talsorian Games Inc. (the creators of Cyberpunk 2020) would disagree, both this movie and Mad Max. As I said, it focuses on Nomads and tone. Citation: Cyberpunk 2020, 2nd ed. (1990) pg. 188
Factoid: Humongous, the antagonist leader wearing the hockey mask... this was a year or two before Jason got his hockey mask in Friday the 13th. Also... Motley Crue said they patterned their look after Road Warrior... football shoulder pads, torn clothing, etc. These movies had a massive impact on how the 80s turned out!
WWF Road Warriors, obviously, too. Uber obviously.
correct, it started a new fashion thunderdome sent it into overdrive
“I’ll talk to this humongous , he seems like a reasonable fella”
That is funny
As Humongous sits outside, wearing a hockey mask, with two of his guys strapped to the front of one of his autos...
Open to negotiation!
Open to negotiations
Nah..the best thing you can do is just ..Walk Away!
With 200+ comments so far, I'm sure someone has brought this up already, but just in case... the best way to interpret the Mad Max movies are not as a single linear storyline, but as individual legends about a man named Max roaming the post-apocalypse, told to the audience from the viewpoints of different narrators. Think of him as more myth than man.
Perfect. Max is never the main character in any of the films; just a myth that wandered out of the sands for a time then vanished again once his part was played.
@@peterbrazukas7771 Well, the first film he is the main character. And it is not narrated by someone who met him. So, it is like "Here is his origin" for the first film, then the rest of the films are others telling about their encounter with him. Which would still fit the mold, in my opinion.
Thank you!!!
That idea is nonsense, it is not the story of Furiosa or Lord Humungous or Goose or any other, it is the story of Max Rockatansky the road warrior, the angel of combustion or universal donor, these movies are to watch their evolution, how he lost his wife and his son, how he adapted to the circumstances and lost his dog with the interceptor, otherwise the film would be called something else, Max is the envoy of destiny that is why he cannot die
Mel Gibson has only 16 lines of dialogue in the entire film. For me excellent sequel.
He originally had 120 lines of dialogue but they were all about Jews and had to be cut.
@@spackle9999 Beat me to it.
@@spackle9999 lol
Lol... One long rant in the second act..
@@spackle9999 They should've kept the lines in, Gibson is right.
Two very interesting things:
1. Max's clothes imply his injuries at the end of the 1st movie (braces for the shot knee and they would rip his sleeve to look at his arm they drove over).
2. Lord Humongous was originally meant to be Goose. He hides his burned face and the bad guys use police equipment.
Humungus resembles Captain Fifi Macaffee more than Goose... that would have been a better direction to go... one has to ask, 'what if'..?
I wonder if the Humungous persona had anything to do with Schwarzenegger becoming a celebrity phenomenon around the same time (right down to the Austrian 'Arnold' accent, which otherwise makes no sense)
@@GK-yi4xv Also a year before they gave Jason his iconic hockey mask in the 3rd Friday the 13th movie.
If Goose was meant to be Humungous he must have really hit the gym hard after he was burned in that truck.
@@DixiePokerAce I think maybe they originally thought of having it be Goose, who Max abandoned just like he did his wife. Perhaps the part was cast after the script was changed?
The stunt work in this film is amazing...still has me in awe 39 years later.
Agreed. I am awed by the bad buy who goes sailing through the air at one point during the chase. How could he have survived?
@@hanoc101 that was NOT planned and almost killed the stuntman. His legs were not supposed to hit the car causing him to flip like that. It looked so good they kept it in the film. It broke his legs.
2:48, Vernon Wells, plays Wez and also played Bennett in Commando, and reprised Wez in the teen Sci-fi comedy, Weird Science.
he was Mr. Igoe in Innerspace also!
Also the main bad guy in Power Rangers TimeForce. Got to meet him at a con years back and he's a pretty cool guy. Autographed my Blu Ray of Commando too.
@@alucard624 I met him at Comicon, and found out later that year that we have a mutual friend. Pretty awesome and down to earth guy!
Also popped up as a baddie in an episode of Hunter (Fred Dryer?). Still had his Commando chain mail shirt, too.
The original Mad Max will always be a sentimental favorite for me, but this film clearly raises the franchise to a truly mythic level. You should be interested to see where it goes from here. Best. Leo.
First movie had a lot of emotional weight behind it which I loved and every movie since then is amazing in its own ways!
Mad Max is the hero of legend who wanders in and out of other people's tales. It's what makes him a legend. He's like Eastwood's man with no name.
Correct, i love that angle of this franchise.
Most Post-Apocalypse movies are Westerns at their core. Wanderers searching for salvation in a bleak land of violence and adventure.
Max is broken man. A loner, who can't move on, from his loss. It also makes him mad. But he is still hero, since he does In the end right thing.
Interesting story (as told by the actor): The main biker was played by Vernon Wells, who also played the Freddy Mercury-looking bad guy in Commando. When he was offered the role, he wasn't interested, but finally went for it to quiet his agent. When he got there, he kept telling George Miller (the director) he wasn't interested. Miller sends him to wardrobe and makeup despite his protests. He comes out in the biker costume and Miller has him turn around to judge the fit. As he turns around, Wells sees himself in the mirror and his eyes bug out. Miller sees the expression and says "Perfect. You're hired." When he gets on set, though, he quickly changed his mind.
I see now! And I was thinking that I saw him somewhere else. The bad guy from Commando of course!
Nice guy in person. Met him at Pensacon I.
End of Weird Science, too.
Well, good thing he "stuck around", then.
@@Blackferret66 I see what you did there. Well Played sir.
*Had a lot of fun watching this, thanks for having me! Had a blast looking at the whole trilogy with you guys. You can click here to check out the Mad Max Playlist for the entire trilogy of reactions:* ruclips.net/p/PLr-YTHdnHmatBXhll-y17p8iy7ILE6NX1 (MAD MAX FURY ROAD up on my channel next Thursday!)
I love that y'all do these team-ups. I don't know if it's better when it's with someone I know, or someone new, but it'a always a blast.
been watching both these channels for a while now and I am SO SO happy with these colabs. please do more in the future my 3 favorite YTers all in one video i could watch a million of these
Virginia Hey, of Farscape fame, played the white-clad Amazonian archer. Best. Leo.
@@tsogobauggi8721 See what stress can do to you. Best. Leo.
Wow, I never knew that. I absolutely love Farscape.
beautiful blue bitch - Rygel
Bruce Spence, who played the gyrocopter pilot, was also in at least one episode of Farscape.
@@vor78 Spence's merits as an actor aside, the Australian/New Zealand citizen goes a long way towards filling productions' responsibility to cast natives. Best. Leo.
Hey, if you all ever wonder what this would look like on the ocean, instead of the desert, you might like watching "Waterworld."
Critics hated it. I liked it though.
@@terryv2006 critics always hate everything. unless it's a theatrical musical.
Water world was a horrible movie!
@@r.g.o3879 Inside every critic is a frustrated artist.
Max is the only constant character in the movies. You'll see a familiar face in the next movie, but it isn't the same character, just the same actor.
Don't you love how, in a post-apocalyptic world where people are scavenging for food and fuel, there is no shortage of hair product?
Priorities haha!
Everyone gotta get that leather and dress like sex pistol fans
Fuel, food, even clothes... all eventually degrade. Hair products? Shelf life of a million years, just like twinkies.
@@TBRSchmitt i would like to see you guys react to Jim Carrey movies like Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber etc
The actor playing as the guy with the red mohawk haircut Wez is Vernon Wells. After this movie a few years he makes a cameo in Weird Science as pretty much the same type of character named Lord General!
Being Australian myself there’s a lot of pride that Aussies feel about the legend of the Mad Max series. It’s a film that’s just so endeared by the average Aussie. It’s a movie that’s just so..Australian. No other country could have produced it.
This is the best of all the Mad Max Movies.
Mad max fury road was just as good or better
Totally.
@@pulsare.m.6719 r u fuckin kiddin me they are good but fury road tops them all
@@BigBrianBruceI don’t know fury road could never top this one or the first one
@@swstopmotions4390 are you fuckin me it did top it off this one is still a classic but fury road beat this one
"Road Warrior" (which is what everyone called it) was part of the Denver International Film Festival in 1981. I was 31. It was an AMAZING experience. Packed theater of Mad Max fans. And we had NO idea what were about to see. The film hadn't opened yet. Still one of my favorite movie memories.
Sounds like an awesome experience!
@@TBRSchmitt Indeed it was!
It was only called “The Road Warrior” in America
I'm not sure it's possible to overstate the impact of MAD MAX2 - the cinematography (especially a film print,) the music, the editing : there had *_never_* been a movie made with such brutal simplicity before. Those of us who saw it when released can't ever forget that feeling of having one's eyes open...
Lucky dog! I was too young to see it in the theatres.
Max's dog, unfazed by RABBIT!, competently standing guard with the shotgun is reason enough to love George Miller. Best. Leo.
One of my all-time favorite movies. Mindless, senseless violence. And I love it.
Fun Fact: In Oz it is just Mad Max 2, when released in the U.S, they added The Road Warrior.
It was released as just The Road Warrior in theatres here. We hadn't heard of Mad Max until the home video era took off soon after.
@@SRG1966 Ahhhhhh... ok, thanks mate did not know that
@@SRG1966 I vaguely remember seeing adverts of the new "Mad Max 2" movie in the local newspaper in South Australia in the early 80s.
Wow, first time I've ever seen a reaction to The Road Warrior. Most of us in the early 80's saw this first and then saw Mad Max I
They filmed the movie on location in the Australian Outback.
Yep, around Broken Hill in South Australia (my state.)
Broken Hill and Silverton, in far western New South Wales.
At first I thought this was some guy reacting.... to them reacting to a movie. React-ception!
Hahaha the next evolution of reactions!
Haha!
Bruce Spence, who played the gyro captain, played one of the sharks in Finding Nemo and the Mouth of Sauron in Return of the King.
He was also the Train Man in Matrix Reloaded.
As a measure of Mel's acting ability and flexibility, there's a movie called Tim. It was released only months apart from Mad Max in 1979.
When The Road Warrior came out, I think it was Rolling Stone that describe it as "Apocalypse POW!". And it didn't disappoint!
The motorcyclist that flips head over foot after colliding with a wrecked car actually broke both legs during that stunt. It was a rookie error. He didn't jump high enough and caught his legs on the car body. George then politely asked the stunt man if he could use the footage.
I've always wondered how anyone could survive that stunt. It never ceases to amaze me!
One of my favorite lines ever, "That's dishonest...LOW!!!" hahahaha
He lives now, only in my memories
The warrior woman was played by Virginia Hey. She was Zhaan in Farscape. And she was also the woman in the tube in the Buggles' video for "Video Killed The Radio Star".
Another trivia bit is that WWIII hadn't gone nuclear yet at this point in the setting. This was just societal collapse and no fuel.
There's few movies as relentlessly entertaining as Mad Max 2. There's a real energy to it.
This is the best one I've seen. The wife's reaction was by far the must animated and intense. As an Aussie I'm gratified.
This is an all timer guys. Best movie of the series!
Here it was released first as The Road Warrior, because pretty much nobody in America had ever seen or even heard of the first film.
Time for ThunderDome. “Two men enter, One man leaves”
God I love this movie, the score is sublime, I always rewind that first time they're chasing him, music is so epic.
The character of Humongous was originally supposed to be Max's friend from the first movie Jim Goose. Everyone assumes that he died or would be in a vegetative state for the remainder of his life. They never make it clear who Humongous was prior to the apocalypse. It does however make for a great backstory for the character.
So, the 1st movie was a slowly decaying society, they still had police and gas stations and bars. And the Mad Max 2 intro talks about a war that happened, but it's not really explicit that there was a nuclear war which turned the world into a wasteland. The Wasteland is used more like a location "Max went into the Wasteland." And the images they show are from WW2. So, theoretically that war could've been just WW2 or a conventional war that caused the slow decay later.
Okay: The warrior woman on top of the truck was Virginia Hey. She was a model and she appeared as an 'alien' in the video "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. She also appeared in the tv series "Farscape" as the blue alien Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan
Vernon Wells as Wez (the man with the mohawk) was the main enemy of Schwarzenegger as Bennett in the military action film "Commando." He was also in "Innerspace" and "Weird Science”
Arkie Whiteley the blonde girl who almost went off with the gyro captain was the daughter of famous Australian artist Brett Whiteley. She died aged only 37. And note, it’s a gyrocopter, not a helicopter. There is no power provided to the horizontal rotor.
Emil Minty as the Feral Kid ceased acting when very young.
And Lord Humungus was played by the Swedish actor Kjell Nilsson… who also had a very short movie career.
I believe the refinery explosion held the record for biggest in a movie for a while. There was behind the scenes footage with more angles floating around the net a few years back.
The Australian army demolition sappers did that refinery blast 💥
Mad Max was supposed to be a two-part story.
The first film shows Max's descent into madness.
The sequel shows him on the path to redemption.
This movie is so much better than the over-the-top cartoon "Fury Road" because it's ALL REAL. This is still the absolute best Mad Max movie for me.
One of the greatest action films of all time. Doesn't age (except for the prologue)
Probably the best 'final shot' ever (Max fading into the distance, 'never to be seen again').
The kid is literally called 'The Feral Kid' in the credits. Once civilized, now reverted to wild.
The guy with the mohawk is Bennett in Commando!! And tell me that Bane wasn't modelled after, Humongous!!
This may have already been mentioned in other comments but the trend is that Max is never really the main character.
Max just travels from adventure to adventure helping others (often unwillingly) as he goes along. Fury road continued that trend.
Actually, the dog food can is an australian joke, "Dinki-di" means "genuine" - as in "genuine dog". It's dog meat.
Awesome collaboration
One of the great action adventure Scifi films of all time. Best in the bunch.
The guy that directed this directed Happy Feet.
I just loooooove the guy communicating the info back and forwards regarding the truck repair.
We would not have made it from the 80's to the 90's without MadMax the road warrior!!!
The last of the V8's. Simple iconic powerful.
Max is a legend.. His stories are those that are told around campfires throughout the ages.. Passed from one generation to the next.. That's why his backstory and his look is different from time to time.. Story to story.. Like what you guys saw in Fury Road.. Max is the archetypal anti-hero.. The "reluctant adventurer".. The hero we end up with because there's no one else or no one else who can do it..
Thanks for reacting to this! My favourite one of the franchise.
Max is the wandering hero that helps those in need. In this movie he finds his humanity after losing it in the first movie. Now on to thunderdome
Heelers (dog breed) are both the calmest and WILDEST dogs.
Easily well-trainable and still true to its Australian Dingo roots.
Actually TBR, the actual title is "Mad Max 2:The Road Warrior"
Although in the USA, it was simply tilted "The Road Warrior"
And the dog was actually a rescue dog that was rescued shortly before it was scheduled to be put down
The Blonde guy that is killed by the Boomerang was the lover of the guy with the red Mohawk. That's why he was so upset.
Yes, the music box the kid was playing played "Happu Birthday"
The boomerang is steel, and razor sharp. Which is why the kid wears a special gauntlet to catch it. The guy who lost his fingers didn't have a gauntlet......
BTW, the crazy biker with the red mohawk is the same actor that plays Bennet in Commando
Vernon Wells^^
'Unphased'. A classic trait of the Blue Heeler, one which makes them great working dogs. There's a good video on YT about Dog. He was rescued, about to be put down. They had to give him a crash course before shooting, and utilise clever tricks, like in the shotgun scene. Initially they wanted to cast a three legged Australian Cattle Dog, and put the search out. However, they soon realised this was not a good idea as people may start amputating dogs legs to get it in the film. It's funny, because my last dog was a three legged Blue Heeler named Bluey. I miss you mate.
The driver who crashed the truck at the finale had to go without food 24 hours before shooting the scene incase he got hurt performing the stunt abd and needed to be rushed to hospital for surgery. Emil Minty who played the feral kid now manages a jewellery shop in Sydney.
The prolog was added because they felt not enough people saw the first movie. Originally in the states it was just called the "Road Warrior".
THE ROAD WARRIOR the greatest Mad Max episode! CLASSIC!
This movies shoukld comeback to theaters.
This is great film brutal as the world no glory at all just a memory in the mind of a few ...the memory of a man ...a legend... lost to the darkness of time ...one of the infinite forgotten heros of this cruel world ..... he was the road warrior
So you guys are the first who have a reaction to Mad Max 2. Hope more will follow suit, because it's such a brilliant film with so many iconic characters. The Feral Kid, Lord Humungous, Wez, the Gyro Captain, all made such an impression on me as a kid. And Mel Gibson just kills it as the Road Warrior.
Crazy movie and lots of fun, also, the gyrocopter guy played the Mouth of Sauron in the LotRs extended edition movie
Yup, Bruce Spence. LEGENDARY Aussie/"Kiwi"(New Zealand) character actor. Was also in the Legend Of The Seeker TV series as well as the third Matrix movie (as the "Train Man", lol). Always thought of him as the poor man's Christopher Lloyd...
;-D
And a different gyrocopter guy in Beyond Thunderdome.
Hi...the girl with the long blonde hair with the crossbow in warrior clothes is warrior woman( Virginia hay)...l knew her well back in the 80s she use to help us roadies set up band equipment..she's was a good worker ...her boyfriend was the sound engineer for the Australian band ..Wendy and the rockets from Melbourne..
Even in Fury Road, George Miller emphasized practical effects. The vehicle chase at the end was all practical. The guy on the motorcycle who flew through the air was actually hurt really bad. He broke his leg on the initial crash when he flipped over the junk car. You can see it if you watch it knowing that happened. Crazy.
Every apocalyptic warrior needs a dog 🐕❤
Now that I realize it, the image of the man and the dog is very iconic. It is the same used, in a different tone, in John Wick, who is also a loner.
This Max film has the most exhilarating chase seen of the original trilogy. Fury Road has some equally exciting chases complete with a mobile heavy metal band.
The BEST action movie of all time!
The Warrior Woman is probably well-known to a lot of people who do not recognize her since she is not in blue.
She is played by Virginia Hey, who most people know as Zhaan in Farscape.
Love this movie, my favourite of the 4.
Mad Max I.: Max was a police officer (a job an a life), a father and husband. Had the Interceptor and a broken leg in the end.
Mad Max II: Started with the Interceptor and a dog - left on a debris field and corpses on the end.
Wonder what will happen him in the Mad Max III, Thunderdome?
Fun fact: the gyro captain, Bruce Spence, plays the Mouth of Sauron in The Return of the King special edition.
I think Mel was the original Chris Hemsworth
Just a small fact: The title was changed from Mad Max 2 as it was in Australia to The Road Warrior in the United States because the first one wasn't very well received and they didn't want to advertise it as a sequel to put people off from seeing it because of the first one
Why does Max always leave? Because that's what a hero does... They're only there to save the day. -- Kind of like what you heard in the Batman franchise. "If you hang around long enough you see yourself become the villain."
The dog that used was just a stray they picked up at the pound before filming the movie. It ended up being so smart and so talented they expanded the part of the dog in the film and he was given a home after the film was made instead of returning him to be put down.
You cannot imagine how much guilty pleasure I got from the ending.. The sand in the tanker.. Max got exactly what he deserved, and they used him without remorse..
How did Max get what he deserved? He didn’t have to go back and help them.
And he didn’t seem to mind in the end, the smile he shared with his prisoner/friend. And the little boy who never forgot him.
@@shayla106
They offered him a chance to be a part of their family, and he refused so he could be alone.. So, they let him be alone... As soon as he took all the assholes with him.. lol..
He used them, so they used him back..
The sand in the tanker was the plan all along, and Pappagallo (the leader) was supposed to drive it. They didn't trick Max.
@@bjornh4664
Sure they did.. And yes, that was in general the plan, the problem being no tanker.. But make no mistake, they certainly were running games on him.. He was expendable.. The leader was willing to give his life if another opportunity presented itself, but not after Max arrived.. They tried to convince him to stay so they could sacrifice him, knowing his default position was the gas..
He was set up to die..
one of the best (and most understated) twist endings ever. And closing narration (for this and for Mad Max 3) surprisingly moving. Happy to see people still reacting to this film - thanks for posting.
I was completely surprised when the warrior woman was killed, being used to the hero and heroine always getting together at the end.
This was the first Mad Max released in the US. It was released here as just The Road Warrior.
Yes this movie was marketed in some countries assuming people never saw the first one so they had a lot of explanation of the beginning.
just cause that particular tribe didnt see him again doesnt mean he hasn't been seen by others
Yup. This is my favorite Mad Max film. Mostly one long car chase, with brutal deaths. Whole struggle is over 100% commitment, through a bleak, hopeless world, against an unrelenting enemy, and rolling the dice on reaching a goal of highly uncertain likelihood of even existing. Fury Road is pretty comparable in a lotta ways, but I think this one edges it out.
Timothy says, "I love this kid!" Okay, you bring him home and take away his favorite toy (and I don't mean his music box innards) when he misbehaves. Best. Leo.
@9:20 Aboriginals in Australia legit used boomerangs as hunting weapons. Proper ones aren't toys they can be very lethal. (Although they aren't known for 'returning' either).
The motorcycle rider who goes end over end after he collides with the dune buggy was NOT supposed to be doing those flips. The stuntman, Guy Norris, was just supposed to fly off his bike, but he clipped a leg on the buggy.
Of course, they still used the footage because it looked badass and, if you'd just broken a femur doing a stunt, you certainly wouldn't want the footage going to waste. He was back on set a few days later to do more filming.
He was 21 then, and at 54 he did his final driving stunt for Fury Road, crashing a 16-wheeler. Not a bad note to retire (from driving) on.
Still the best movie of the 'Mad Max' series!
Agreed
Yes it is, no doubt about it.
Ya'll are gonna LOVE "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome."
