the sequel to this, the Road Warrior, is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 a must watch!!!
I believe it was only called The Road Warrior in America and everywhere else it was Mad Max II' I like the Road Warrior better.
It's amazing how influential this movie was. Not only did it kick-start the series, it almost single-handedly launched a whole genre of cinema.
From an Aussie fan, thank you for watching... Many skip this Aussie classic... and thank you most of all for 'not' watching the American audio dubbed version... absolutely kills it. Now you have started, you have to keep going! :)
I didn't even know there was a dubbed American version. Why the heck would they think that was necessary??
It was for the North American release. In 1980 one in North America knew where Australia was or even heard of it.. They didn't think Americans & Canadians would like the accents. @@leeneufeld4140
@@leeneufeld4140that sounds so horrible that I want to watch it now.
Also can you imagine the voice actor trying to explain to his wife or parole officer that he’s got a real job doing an English voice over of an Australian film?
I was 15 & Canadian in 1980. I had no idea where Australia was or even heard of it. No one else in North America knew either. Then in the early 80s a Band called "Men At Work", the movies "Gallipoli", "The Road Warrior", "The Man From Snowy River", "The Year of Living Dangerously" blew-up in North America!! Mel Gibson became an International Movies Star! By the time "Mad Max Thunder Dome" and "Crocodile Dundee" came out Australia was now an International Star and everyone wanted to go there. I love the movies of Peter Weir.
Saw this in the theater in California in 1980. All I knew about Australia was that you guys had good surf and good climbing at the Arapiles, and Aussi climbers were fun to party with.
Part one is great for what it is and the set up. Part 2 is a masterpiece.
Part 3 runs bartertown
I think part 1 is the masterpiece.
@@ilariomichelini4616 They are both great.
@@mattwilkes2321Master Blaster runs Barter Town.
What George Miller made with a $350,000 budget is unbelievable. I can’t wait to watch this one.
The man is a genius and I hear he is on the new one coming
@@gorymarty56 I hear that too. I’m a little hesitant because it’s really hard for an old director to keep giving the same product. I’m hoping for the best though.🤞
"I'm scared, Fif. You know why? It's that rat circus out there. I'm beginning to enjoy it."
"What is this, funny week?"
"Look. Any longer out on that road and I'm one of them, you know? A terminal crazy... only I got a bronze badge to say I'm one of the good guys."
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Joanne Samuel.
The Doctor Is In Fact: George Miller raised the money for Mad Max (1979) by working as an emergency room doctor.
Shakespearean Villains Fact: Hugh Keays-Byrne and Tim Burns were both classically-trained Shakespearean stage actors. Hugh Keays-Byrne modeled his performance of Toecutter after historical records written about Mongolian warlord Temujin, also known as Genghis Khan. Tim Burns was so into Johnny The Boy character that he annoyed everyone on-set and was abandoned one day during lunch while handcuffed to the wreck.
Vigilantes Gang Fact: The "get-out-of-jail-free card" that Goose (Steve Bisley) gives the triker was an on-set joke. Because of the limited budget, the biker gang was an actual biker gang (The Vigilantes), and they had to ride to the set each day in costume; often with their prop weapons displayed. Since the production company expected them to be pulled over by the local police, each was given a letter explaining the film's peculiar requirements, and asking for law-enforcement's understanding and cooperation. Most of the extras used in the film were paid in beer.
Paid in beer 😂 typical Aussies
Cool movie, cult classic, crazy action sequences. One of the reasons I went out and picked up a Ducati super sport motorcycle. J, the leather pants do help, makes you look old-school plus it illuminates burn.
“I am the NIGHT RIDER!!!”””
Where's Marmaduke
I am a rocker!
I am a roller!
I'm the out-of-controller!
The final scene of this movie was what inspired Leigh Whannel to write SAW. He just made it into a horror serial killer deal instead of a revenge film.
All movies take place in Australia 🇦🇺 in a collapsing futuristic dystopia economy. End goal is complete anarchy; laws are being dismantled & there’s no repercussions for anything.
Almost what’s happening today.
Awesome reaction! The Road Warrior is the bread and butter of the series.
Post apocalyptic nuclear war as well. Though I forget if that happens before Road Warrior or Thunderdome.
@@IdealUser collapsing economy that leads to nuclear war unfolding during the second part & a post apocalyptic (fallout) by the third installment 💯 There’s some crazy theories about Fury Road but we’ll save that until the time is closer not to spoil an info 🤙🏻
(Mad Max is hands down my favorite movie saga)
Back in 1980 this was a hell of a cult film on The Movie Channel. The word just got passed around school and the street about this movie with the wildest, craziest car chases you'll ever see. The next one that came out was even more intense and i got to see that one in the theatre on first release.
Mad Max II (or The Road Warrior) has one of the longest vehicle chase scenes that include not just cars, but a gasoline tanker and a bunch of homemade, post apocalyptic vehicles.
I'll never forget the first time I watched this and then Escape from New York, which came on directly after on one of my uncle's MANY movie channels. I was 11 at the time, and my uncle was a little TOO trusting with me when it came to the remote, but that double bill was one of the major highlights of my early experiences with film ❤
It's crazy how, with only his second film role, Mel Gibson became an instant icon from that point on..
I love this time in moviemaking. This era was the beginning of the post apocalyptic movies and they were just fantastic.
When I was 12 or so, I went to a friend’s house and we watched Escape from L.A., which is not as good as the first one, but plenty bloody and vulgar. Scarred me just a bit.
A necessary watch, to get the full set up for the masterpiece that is Mad Max II: The Road Warrior.
Mad Max is a good movie. The sequel Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is one of the most wild action movies ever made. Crazy stunts galore, non stop road action. That’s gonna be fun to watch, bro…
You now **must** finish the journey you have begun.
THE ROAD WARRIOR.
BEYOND THUNDERDOME.
FURY ROAD.
George Miller is a goddamned high octane genius.
I remember enjoying this movie, but I’m not gonna lie - I’m most excited at the prospect of you checking out The Road Warrior (my favorite Mad Max movie).
I always thought road warrior was the best of the three, but enjoyed them all.
Ditto, the stunts were extraordinary and NO CGI, THE REAL DEAL.
I would say The Road Warrior is one of the best action/adventure movies ever made…
Love this movie and glad you watched it. Yes, Mel Gibson is Australian and has an accent although it has faded since this movie.
He was born in New York, iirc, but spent his childhood in Australia.
The actor who plays the main bad guy (Toecutter) also plays the main bad guy in the 4th movie too. (Immortal Joe)
*Immortan Joe
@@frankie3041 potato pitato
This is such a great series. So glad you’re getting to it J. This is actually the most low key one, they amp it way up from here.
“Give em laxatives and duct tape their asses shut…”
LMAO!
thank you for reacting to the original. I'm not a fan of the Theron sequel. But the original trilogy, I'm a fan.
100% agree with ya about the Goose. I always thought he was badass. After the first crash an his leg was all messed up, he still managed to overpower/escape Max and Fifi trying to restrain him and lay a few good ones on Johnny boy😂
Mel sounds funny because he's Australian and this movie was made there, The breather and super charger on Mel's car was just eye candy. They didn't work. They were there just to make it look badder.
Nice A Australian film! This one ,the 2nd one and Mad Max Fury Road are some of my countries greatest films 😊
Wolf Creek
@JL This was a treat so happy you will watch the rest as well :)
By far my favorite movie franchise ever. Can't wait to see you get into it. This is awesome!
Now you have to watch the whole series.
Now on to "The Road Warrior" and then "Mad Max Thunder dome!"
Tow truck drivers are like ambulance chasing lawyers.
In this dystopian future, everyone was scrounging for car parts. That's why the tow truck drivers raced to the scene; they wanted to see who would get the best car parts.
0:15 When I first saw the commercials for Mad Max, I thought it was a horror film. But it’s really meant to be a dystopian action film. Now years later I’m thinking its a horrific dystopian action film 😂
I’ll never forget the first time I laid eyes on Mel Gibson in a movie ( it was a movie he did before this one). I thought he was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen in my life and fell in love with him immediately 🥰
Youre the top shelf Max !!!
I'm so stoked you're reacting to this franchise. I first discovered it through the second movie which, at the time, was simply called The Road Warrior. After seeing that one at an underground movie house on my college campus, I went back and found a VHS copy of Mad Max at a video rental store. The first movie is an origen story for the character and the world, but by the second movie the world-building progresses along with Max's madness. The third movie is my least favorite, but probably the biggest budget and biggest commercial success until the Tom Hardy reboot movie came out and really brought the franchise back to life with style.
The Toecutter, main antagonist in this film, MAD MAX, is also Immortan Joe, the main antagonist in MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Just a fun little tidbit.
No spoilers. When my friends and I watched Fury Road in the theater, we literally walked out and stood in a circle speechless just to collect ourselves. It was THAT mind-blowing.
EDIT: So Mad Max 1 is about the the end-stage of the disintegration of society. Everything else is about after-the-end.
Hey, Murder Whistle. I can't wait for you to get to the 3rd one, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". With Tina Turner in a mohawk and a chain mail dress.
That moment you realise Mel Gibson has been doing an American accent in the movies you watched him in…
Mad MAX is a legendary film--an obscure film from Australia by a former medical doctor. Made for around $350,000 and grossed worldwide $100,000,000! It was a legend in the US in 1979 and 1980. It had 3 sequels: The Road Warrior(Mad Max 2), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and the most recent with Tom Hardy as Max is Mad max Fury Road.
The Road Warrior and Fury Road are legit masterpieces and are iconic films in the action genre. The Road warrior spawned a lot of look a like post apocalyptic movies in the 80s. Fury road even won some Academy awards and it is mind blowing. Fury road is a must watch!
Just so you know, Mad Max is set in a future Australia in which the world is starting to shut down. The next ones in the franchise are set after a worldwide disaster and society has broken down completely and people live in survival communities and gangs. Max is a policeman in the first movie and then becomes a survivor who helps the underdog.
BTW, if you like Mel Gibson, please check out Braveheart if you have not already done so. Braveheart is absolutely his best movie!!
Love the original mad max trilogy, nothing beats them, they don’t make movies like this anymore
Looking forward to The Road Warrior. Thanks for reacting to this.
I don't think I've seen this movie since I was in high school, so this will be a real blast from the past.
The next 2 Gibson Mad max movies are completely amazing and a wild ride. I grew up on those movies
Fun bit of trivia: Johnny The Boy's brutal demise inspired the whole SAW franchise.
Waiting for all the Detroit jokes in this review
Just a bit of a heads up for you, the actor portraying ''Toe Cutter'' in this film plays ''Immortan Joe'' in ''Fury Road''.
Before Jigsaw....there was MAD MAX
Remember, he told his boss he was quitting because he started to enjoy "it". The speed, the violence, the killing. He was worried the only thing making him different was the badge.
Now the badge is gone...
So very very happy tosee you react to this timeless classic. It put Australia on the map, and I don't recall straight away if it was this one, or maybe "Gallipoli" that made Mel Gibson a star in the film industry. The two sequels are great, and this one, is a very amazing way to do character introduction and set-up.
What I also totally LOVE about this movie, yes it essentially is a shoestring budget, but everything IS Practical! You can NEVER really beat practical effects on the screen, no matter how "good " CGI gets. The human eye will still detect it, but practical, it shows, in lighting in the details etc.
May JL and Crew have amazing time with this trilogy and the rest!
It did put Aussie cinema on the map, pretty much like "Black Sheep" did for New Zealand, til of course Peter Jackson's "Lord Of the Rings"-films
I'm a longtime huge fan of the Mad Max series and the first is still my favorite. I especially like Max's relationships and rapport with fellow officers like Goose (Steve Bisley) and "fifi" MacAfee (Roger Ward). It's a view of a more socialized Max compared to the sequels, even given his extreme highway police job. Then what happens happens.
I haven't seem this in years! It was so iconic Dr. Dre & Tupac paid tribute to it in their video "California". Love the channel.
George Miller also made Happy Feet.
All of the Max movies are good. The plots for the rest of them are disconnected from each other, sort of like oral-history tales of a mystery man.
The background on this is that two of the major superpowers have gone to war, and although it may not have gone Nuclear yet, it's coming. Society has started breaking down and because the price of consumer goods and gasoline have started rising, gangs have started ambushing supply trucks and tankers. The Main Force Patrol (MFP) was founded as a dedicated highway patrol group to keep the roads free of gangs and protect supply convoys. They are woefully underfunded, under-equipped and outnumbered, a lot of their officers are easily as mentally unbalanced as the gangs they are fighting, and they will be long gone by the time Mad Max 2 starts (it's set approximately three years after this one).
This one was written purely from an angle of a societal breakdown; the idea that there'd been a nuclear war wasn't thought up until Mad Max 2, although writer Terry Hayes stated in an interview around the time of Beyond Thunderdome's release that there was nothing in the first movie that specifically rules out the nuclear war having already happened (and indeed the intro of Mad Max 2 heavily implies it). At the latest, the Nuclear war has to have happened between the first two films, and not after Mad Max 2 as some people try to claim.
PS
God bless you for not watching the American dubbed version ❤
Mad Max 2 with Tina Turner?...Yes Sir Please!!!
I saw this when in came out and I remember the version I watched had Mel Gibson's voice dubbed since US distribution thought his accent was too thick. I sounded like his real voice in the version you watched but not sure. This is a great setup for the next movie, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. What made Mel Gibson a star.
The US release dubbed ALL the accents into "American." The suits didn't think US audiences would be able to understand the Aussie accents and slang.
"Interceptor" is the Common Wealth term for a traffic cop.
I still remember in school when the pictures of the V-8 Interceptor made the rounds with that on/off controllable clutch supercharger. Legendary!
Seeing this movie as a kid really jumpstarted my lifelong love of fast motorcycles, cars and "motorhead" fashion. PLEASE continue watching the Mad Max movies (The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (with Tina Turner) and Fury Road (with Tom Hardy as Max)). They're all pretty cool.
0:43 - This is the first movie. Mad Max: The Road Warrior is the second. Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome is the third and commonly considered best of the original trilogy. Whether Mad Max: Fury Road is a sequel or an alternate timeline is up for debate. Furiosa (the upcoming movie) is a prequel to Fury Road.
9:09 - In his other movies, he has an accent. He grew up in Australia (this is an Australian movie, BTW).
10:55 - I don't remember where they talk about this, but the backstory of the movie is this: the gas crisis of the late 70s ends with a thermonuclear war. Most of the world's superpowers and their satellite nations are devastated. Australia escapes relatively unharmed, but with global trade nonexistent, the oil supplies in Australia are critically limited. As a result, severe gas rationing is in effect and wasting gas is elevated to a capital crime, making street gangs some of the worst criminals in the nation. In the coming years, the gas WILL run out and the government will collapse, at which point Australia devolves into a lawless wasteland.
Beyond Thunderdome is not commonly considered the best, not from what I've seen anyway. It's my favourite but people have a giant chip on their shoulder because of the second half with the kids. People usually put Road Warrior above the rest.
@@krissuyx Well, maybe I'm just an outlier, but in my experience I've heard people talking about Beyond Thunderdome all the time and have never heard others talking about Road Warrior.
@@legionaireb Well, look at the comments below. There's loads of people praising the Road Warrior specifically.
Wait till you see the sequel a masterclass of cinematic entertainment.
I saw the second movie, The Road Warrior, first. I turned 12 when it was in theaters. My dad took me and 3 of my friends out for pizza and a movie and, that was the movie. We were blown away. It was a few years before I knew this one even existed. It is a very good set up for the second.
This was one of the "midnight movies" in the 80's. You would finish the night after the arcade and cruising with a visit to the theater.
This is a trip down memory lane for people from Melbourne, Australia. Every location is either in Melbourne or not too far away.
So Happy you are reacting to Mad Max the original....such an underrated film and sci-fi movie!! Yes , definitely look at The Road Warrior next.... which only came out a couple years later and the early '80s and then the third is Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome with Tina Turner. if you're really enjoying these type of movies the newer one, that came out by George Miller is still incredible with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.
Mel has movie star screen presence from the get go. He did one called Tim where he played a mentally handicapped young man experiencing first love. Good acting.
Payback is another favorite gangster revenge flick.
Road Warrior hit big in America. Crazy characters and an engrossing world.
“Payback”
One of Gibson’s best antihero romps.
And if you enjoy Ron Perlman’s work.
“Mutant Chronicles” is a MUST.
Ignore the ratings, it’s a WILD ride.
Get the directors cut/edition long version whatever, it gives a bit more background.
Don’t miss it
And Hardy is crazier than that guy with the scarf in
“Bronson”
Based on an actual UK prison inmate.
It’s unreal acting.
Haven't seen "Payback" but "Mutant Chronicles" is one that not seen many at all IF ANY react to! Almost forgotten the movie except some scenes. That IS certainly a MUST.
Next MUST be "The Road Warrior" (Mad Max 2); Woooooo!
Need to watch the second one.... Mad Max: The Road Warrior. Its the best.
"This here is Cundallini. And Cundallini wants his hand back."
My favorite movie was Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. I hope, you'll watch it too. 😁
Whenever you need your mind-blown, remember that George Miller made this then went on to make his real masterpiece: Happy Feet.
Mad Max 2 the Road Warrior is
Even better 🔥🔥
You’ll love part 2 mate. 👍🏼👍🏼
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome has Tina Turner in it looking fine as fuck. Just an fyi. 😂😂😂
Tina been fine all her whole Life
Mad Max: Fury Road is part 4 and is a direct sequel to the previous 3. It only had Tom Hardy in it because it took way too long to finally get made. While you can enjoy it as a separate movie, it is indeed Mad Max 4 and it is a little nicer to have viewed 1-3 first. Mel Gibson was too old to play Max’s age for that movie, and Tom Hardy was too young. Hehe. If it had been made around the time it was first supposed to be made then it would still have made sense for Mel Gibson to return. But after so many delays it made more sense to get someone else, and Mel had gone crazy anyway. You’ll get a little more enjoyment out of part 4 if you’ve seen 1-3, so it is nice to see you’ve started with part 1.
J, you gotta watch the movie “The Hitcher” with Rutger Hauer. You won’t be disappointed
Talk to me Goose.
In the road warrior the Humongous is Goose from the first film, they just didn't explain it in the movie something about run time or something
the chief was not wearing a scarf, it is called an ascot it is a type of neck tie 😂
Good to see the original movie get some attention!
If you ever have a large amount of spare cash, there's a company in Australia called Aussie Coupes. They'll find you any vehicle in the original trilogy, modify it to look as much like it does in the film as you want and ship it to you anywhere in the world. It's super expensive though.
Don't worry about tying the story of the original series to the Fury Road era of Max, it cant really be done. Its probably best to think of the films as folklore tales, some of the details change, but the essence of what Max represents remains.
30:56 I like how the edit makes it look like he listens to J. Well done Blank.
Give those doggos a big hug for me!
Where the Legend begins beyond the fuel wars in the land of motor laws, justice has a new name, Mad Max.
many movie tropes originated from this movie 🎬 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
keep an eye out for Beno 😅
Just wait til you watch Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Crazy part is, the highways in Australia are like that. Nothing around & you hope you don't wreck.
I too am very much looking forward to this, it's one of my favorite movies ever. I really hope you watched the original and NOT the dubbed for America version.
This is an Australian movie, and Mel Gibson is from Australia.
This movie series is AWESOME!
Thanks!
Man, Mad Max 3 was my intro, in the theater, to Mad Max. Hope you get the chance to react to them all. Happy New Year to the EOM family!
Welcome to post apocalyptic Australia! In this first movie, there are still shreds of government authority, such as the police.
In each subsequent movie, society has deteriorated more toward medieval/barbarism, depending on if they control a valuable resource. Expect crazy plots, crazy costuming, & outrageous over-the-top action. A very fun time!
My personal favorite is Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome. I 😍 Tina Turner's role in it!
You must see Mel Gibson as _Hamlet_ because he played it different.
Most actors start out with Shakespeare and study Laurence Olivier and try to imitate him.
Mel Gibson was not a theater actor and just kind of worked his way into the industry.
The subtitle of _Hamlet_ is _The Melancholy Prince._
Gibson looked up _Melancholy_ in the dictionary and it means "inconsolably sad and depressed" BUT historically it had a different meaning.
In 1603, when _Hamlet_ was first performed it meant: "Totally insane" and so Gibson played Hamlet as an absolute maniac.
It is a must-see.
I am so hyped for this
"...the Deetroyt Wing."
Bwahahahahaha
Reminds ne of that Simpsons clip when Moe says "lay off Detroit. They're livin' in Mad Max times."
other Mel Gibson movies 1.the Year of living Dangerously 2.the River 3.the Bounty 4.Tequila Sunrise 5.Air America 6.Braveheart 7.Ransom 8.We Were Soldiers
And conspiracy theory
Can’t wait for you to see Road Warrior.
yesssssss i cannot wait for the road warrior reaction!
Love this movie, such a great reaction!
Thank you
Great reaction Eom 💯👍
'The f*uck they doin' back there?' 😂😂😂
Oh he is gonna love this series.
Many "Shut the fuck up"s will be dropped.
Love watching these reactions 😂 just be making me laugh all the damn time
Mad Max is one of those series that improves with each sequel.
I love your top, man. And this film rocks.
Other great Mel Gibson movies are Ransom and Payback. Also Mel's Australian accent at this time was natural
While your watching an Aussie movie you should add Crocodile Dundee and Two hands and The Castle to the list
