Popcorn Taxi hosted the first ever Mad Max reunion in 31 years, along for the sold out Q&A were the original cast (along with the greatest stuntman alive Grant Page), here's what they had to say on one of the best films this country has ever produced! 
Кино
Rest in peace Hugh Keays Byrne. Very sad day.
Toecutter was an awesomely played villain. As important as Mel's character.
I love all the characters, especially Fifi.
I'm an American long haul truck driver, and I carry ALL, of these movies with me, EVERYWHERE I go
To this day Mad Max is still the most extraordinary low budget films ever made.
100% true
Wayne Shields you know most of the actors were paid with beer
@@averylegitperson6305 Works for me.
Setebos lol true
By far👌👌👌
Hugh Keays-Byrne as the Toecutter is one of the most fantastic portrayals in the history of cinema!
I agree, whats evenbetter is that he`s also playing the villain in the new Mad Max movie
Mr Keay Byrnes great Actor.
E.P.I.C
He stole the show ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
Agree. For sure.
So nice to see everyone again, they created something unique that will be remembered for a long time.
Pero no vi a bubba Zanetti 😭😭😭
I go visit that bridge every once and while and drive down there real slow like im Max and then pull over to the side. It still gives me goosebumps every time i do it.
is there still a bridge where you stood?
The musical score was awesome too
Mad Mad 1 was just simply the best.
too mad! (pun intended)
Max Max 3 had 3 times as much maximum of Max as Max Max 1. But that's just an opinion...
chris lomas still good but I think it was the worst one out of all the mad max movies
Mad Max one was the best...
Shut the gate on this 1 Maxy, it the Ducks Guts. The original & best.,
The most important film in Australia history and it is still worth watching......
To this day I have never seen any Star Wars film but I have seen Mad Max 1&2 at least 100 times! Some of the most influential films ever made.
start watching Star Wars films
Madness I was a little kid living in Brazil , me and my best friend we watched it without stopping over and over from Friday night to Monday morning..... Mad Max and Max Max 2 had tremendous impact in Brazil man , every single person I know absolutely adore Max Max and consider it one of the greatest movies ever in history.... I end up moving to Australia 🇦🇺 in the late 90’s because I was so crazy to see and know the land of Mad Max , when I first came here I saw the Falcon GT XA, XB & XC on the road back then we used to see tonnes of then omg I was in heaven on earth never went back to Brazil , amazing movie shaped my idea of where I wanted to be and live even though it was a movie it still portrayed Australiana culture!
This is such a great comment.Be cool if more Brazilians came over to Australia 🤙
@@fatsnorkel mate you’re as good as gold thank you , I drive road trains I live in SA , find me on Instagram my handle is leandromachado91 if you ever around please let me know I take you for a drive in my 351 Cleveland 1979 F1OO I love Australia with all my heart and soul all the very best thank you for kind words ,Australian culture shaped me made me everything I am and I am so grateful that I live in a such full of magic land down under , peace fatsnorkel thank you mate 🙏🏼🇦🇺
As an American, I felt cheated seeing the dub most of my life until it was released with the original Australian audio, and it definitely added more flavor to the flick while reminding me of why I fell in love with the movie as it was the first post apocalyptic, dystopian setting I'd ever witnessed.
I was in some hostel in san fran and watched mad max with a fellow aussie and nearly threw up after hearing those horrible dubbed voices, a lot of people think thats the only version!!!!!
Really there was american accent dubbed version??
In Ireland the soundtrack was original with Aussi accents
*****
Yes, there was. Some idiot at the movie studio decided that we, the American viewing public, were too stupid to understand an Australian accent. It pisses me off.
So true. Getting Mad Max the Special Edition DVD with the original Australian language track was a major buy. I have all three Mad Max movies on DVD. Now it's time to get them on Blu-ray for the ultimate viewing experience. In anticipation of Fury Road.
As an American I've never run across any dubbed version, either on VHS (back in the day) or now. Maybe I was lucky or it got pulled before the late 80's. I love every unadulterated part of this flick.
I like how Australian talk and I can understand them fine.
Mad Max is really a rather sad tale. If you look past the cars and the stunt work and look at the story itself what you are left with is a story of a man that becomes the judge of his own grievance and ultimately turns into the exact same thing he was fighting against. That scene where he chases down ToeCutter is one of the saddest thing's I think I've ever seen.
Top 5 all-time movie ever.
Toe-Cutter! Damn, these are some OUTSTANDING actors that helped make a true cinematic masterpiece.
godfatherNYC freightingly realistic
Whenever it comes on tv, I really try to watch it but never can get more than 10-15min in and I change the channel to watch fishing or something. Now I'm glued to the tv when The Road Warrior or Fury Road comes on.
Great reunion, incredible talent. These great actors created amazingly memorable characters on screen. Hugh Keays-Byrne was amazing as Toe Cutter in Mad Max and then hit another home run 35 years later as Immortan Joe in Mad Max Fury Road, to name just 2 of many roles. Roger Ward amazing as Fifi and he's got a ton of film credits and a bunch of titles in post getting ready for release. Steve Bissley has a career longer than your arm, and was great as Goose. David Cameron as the underground mechanic - so memorable. Tim Burns amazing actor, played Johnny the Boy so well. And so on.
Sorry but it wasn't the bronze or the bikers that made the movie folks...it was the Interceptor...the last of the. V8s
"They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well damn them! You and me, Max, we're gonna give them back their heroes!"
This reunion was amazing, I love these movies, but THIS cast right here(Even without Mel) was iconic
I completely agree, the original dialogue was so much better than the dubbed version.
When I got the DVD in 2001, I was so excited to finally hear the actors voices.
I hated that it was dubbed in American accents. The film has a whole new depth.
I have it guess i got lucky bc its not dubbed.
Check the DVD language options if it has them. It was the same on my copy, but there was the option for "Original Australian" in the languages. That sorted it...
Connie Faye. Don't worry, no one have seen the movie. Power of masturbation..
Never knew there was a dubbed version, weird.
I live in the US, and I always freaking HATED those dubbed voices. It was great to finally get a copy with the original Aussie accents
And Bisley had had a few drinks as well. .🤪🤪🤪. He even tried to sing the song he sang in the ute before Johnny hurled the brake drum. That was a classic. And had the privilege of doing ttheJohnny the Boy live tour ( which started at Fat Nancy's Cafe, we were privileged to be able to go inside. Huge thnx to the to owner. Then onto locations with Stuntmen Dale Bensch, Terry Gibson. Traffic Director Andrew Jones. Who painted the skid marks on the road for last scene. And doubled as the body that Mel dragged.
That there is Cundalini... and Cundalini wants his hand back!
Here it is‼️👋🏼😅
He does!...........
i love that acdc was mentioned
Anglo saxon history.
#dying off quickly.
#we will remember.
This is a special movie for me, happy childhood days.. my older brother had it on VHS, I still can feel the smell of the tape.. I often considered it to be the best action movie. Amazingly powerful characters, Max, Toecutter, Zanetti, Goose.. and very exciting scenes, beautifully made.. It was different back then, movies were strong, artistic, more feel and atmosphere
As a kid I watched this movie so many times I could recite every ones lines word for word perfectly as the movie was playing. My friends would constantly ask me to do certain scenes from the film for them, there is one in particular that I liked to do for them, it is the scene where the bikies just arrived at an outpost rail station to collect THE NIGHT RIDER, and it goes like this.
Bubba - " good afternoon "
Rail master - " good afternoon "
Bubba - " we're here to meet a friend, come in on the train "
Rail master - " nothing came in on the train except a couple of crates and a........coffin "
Bubba - " our friend "
Rail master - " you'll have to see the agent and sign the papers "
Bubba - " and where do we find this agent "
It was the way the lines were delivered by the actors that made the scene.
my favourite part of the scene is where the Toecutter says..'Bubba..Johny...pphoowww...{hope that sounds right..lol }
@@catey62 Me and my mates kept repeating that scene every day at school. So unique.
Rail master - "They didn't leave much of him"
Bubba - "They must've cut his heart out, mustn't they "
Strangely enough, in Holland we got the American dub as well. Then later, on VHS still we had the American dub. Then suddenly, I saw in 2000 the original version. And man, even though I loved the movie, it became even better. It gave it authenticity.
I felt, I was watching an American movie, until I noticed the cars we're unrecognizable. Didn't know names, or the makers. I would ask people, and they wouldn't know what they were.
One time the movie was on tv and it was the american version too. Saw the original version on dvd.
The word "fuckin" sounds so good with an Aussie accent doesnt it?
Brad brassasin ahshs
A miracle movie where the actor's acting, the director's cut, the music, the sound, everything went well.
I was there. That was a classic evening. The Q&A was hilarious.
I remember in 1980 when Mad Max hit HBO everybody that saw it swore that Johnny the Boy was played by Adam Ant. Lol! I believed it too. I was waiting for Johny to Stand and Deliver or Goody Two Shoes dance.
Jon Villalobos I just read your comment about Johnny the boy being Adam Ant in Mad Max ....made the whole house laugh!!
I was there with my girlfriend in 2009, and asked the first question in the Q&A which isn't shown here. ’The Pursuit Special/Interceptor is in a museum just North of where I live in England. Seeing as its such an Australian film icon, should it be brought back here’ To which Steve Bisley replied "Nah mate keep it there it'll do your tourist industry some good, we'd only trash it if you brought it back here.
+mangaben he doesn't speak for all ford/max fans. the shit should be in a dust proof glass case. only dickheads flog our old aussie muscle.
It's been sold off to some US museum
@@ralphmacchiato3761 I know, I was there also in 2016 ;) It's the Dezer Museum in Miami. It was recently up for auction. If I was a millionaire I'd buy it and gift it back to the people of Australia.
@@mangaben6017 was it in the film museum at Keswick ? .
@@alternativeperception6949 It was indeed at the Car's the Star Museum in Keswick, before being bought by Michael Dezer and moving it to his Miami Auto Museum. The collection has subsequently been moved to the Orlando Auto Museum.
Shame on Mel for being a no-show. This movie made him.
If he had appeared there might have been some assholes in the audience who would have given him a hard time.
Vebinz
Any other movie, I would agree, but Mel is the Max, and nobody would give him crap at a Mad Max event
Hes having to fly all over the world to promote Expendables 3 so he just probably couldn't make it.
shadowman2192 But this reunion was in 2010, right? Long before Expendables 3. Really a shame he didn't make it out there (Assuming he was invited). Would have been fun for the fans. I don't follow Hollywood/celebrity news at all so do you guys know if he's just like a hermit now after his infamous 'comments' (Other than Expendables 3)?
fountainhead 2010 was when Edge of Darkness came out which was basically Mel's comeback so i assume he might have been busy with that
I've read that Hugh Keays-Byrne based his portrayal of Toecutter on Genghis Khan. I guess that would cast Bubba Zanetti in the role of Genghis Khan's most trusted general, Subotai (remember that name from another great film?). R.I.P., Geoff Parry. Too bad you couldn't be there with the rest of the cast.
BTW, Arkie Whiteley- the actress who played the Gyrocaptain's Girl in Mad Max 2- is also, sadly, no longer with us. :-(
Amazing film. Australian magic that is timeless
Wow, this is great. I always wished for a prequel with Goose. I saw it as a kid in 1980 when it was released in the States with little or no promotion. Rode my Honda 500 to the local podunk theater (I was the only one there for that screening) and my mind was fucking blown. It was incredible to see Mad Max on the big screen and be totally unprepared for what was about to happen. I loved Road Warrior, but by then, I knew what was coming. All the other sequels sucked.
The humour here is so uniquely Australian ... dry as the desert.
Ken Oath ...
your ass is dry bitch
Hehehe. Can't understand them anyway. The cars were the Stars of the show
FOR NOT TURNING UP FOR THIS MEL NEEDS A BLOODY GOOD EXCUSE...AFTER ALL, IT IS HIS BEST FILM.
Mad Max is the movie that got me into motorcycling way back when I first saw this. Since then till now I have had bikes in my life, wouldn't have it any other way. Don't even blame them for the broken leg in '86.
...me too, dog
I already had a motorcycle when i watched Mad Max. The movie did made me buy a leather riding jacket though.
Bloodaxetheirritable I got into super high performance cars, ones that run over 150 easily, now I'm back into motorcycles, fast ones
👍👍👍👍
Love this cast of actors ❤
One of my all-time favorite films. That inspired my motorcycle riding to this day. A timeless action film 🎥. 👍🏍️.
My dad and myself watched this so many times he had a Honda 750 and was going to get the KD 1000 unfortunately he wasn’t able to get it . But I ride today because of this movie
Cars > Bikes
I'm American, I understood every bit of the dialogue when I was 8. For someone to overdub this movie is a disgrace and insulting to Australians and Americans.
I saw it in theaters here in Canada without the dubbed voices. Later a few years i rented the film and it did loose something with the dubbing. Great to see this cast together after so many years. Thanks for posting this.
Hugh Lives down the road from me and I Run into him at the supermarket frequently. Such a great guy and always has time for a chat.
Why couldn't Mel Gibson make it for the show? He's a big shot now, but it was this film that made him into a star.
Unfortunately,when some people make the big time they forget their roots and beginnings.
catey62 more like Mel's off screen antics were an issue.. that said max isn't someone in their 50's / 60's he's not a good fit anymore unless you build the story totally around "an old mad max"
Well, considering the life he leads in the first 4 movies, I tend to doubt Max makes it to old age.
Mel Gibson is a Diva now.. Changed his awesome accent to slutty American... Loved him in the mad max films and "The bounty" with Sir Anthony Hopkins and the late great laurence olivier...
This was around the time Mel was being a jerk in Los Angeles so he didn’t have time for little old Australia. Fargin wanker!!🍆✊🏼
Thank you for sharing this video, it proves what a truly unique Aussie film Mad Max was and the fact that on-board bike and car sequences were real as the country side proves, fucking awesome and the roles were filled by legends as well, surely one of the greatest and most realistic movies made considering it was low budget and made in 1979, long live Mad Max fuckers!!
Bubba Zanetti is cool
Thanks alot, chicken shit !!!!
Thanks for makin one of the best movies EVER made from an American. I wanted one of those KZ1000s so bad back then. I got an 82 Honda 650 Nighthawk instead. I always imitated Jim Goose with my head tucked into the fairing going down Interstate 25 from Cheyenne Wy to Denver, CO. 1982 stationed at F.E. Warren AFB. I NEVER saw the dubbed version and never will.
I loved the the movie when I first saw it, I was 12. And it was on late night regular TV and I was hooked instantly. I had and still have the first movie memorized. 30 years after I saw it, what an impact. Great cast, great story and great director!!! Thank you for this amazing movie!!! Best ever!!!!
Three cheers for Cinematographer David Eggby . Bravery brilliance and anamorphic widescreen class.
The bikes....oh, those Kawasaki bikes....I had a '77 Kawasaki KZ1000 when it was new with a 4 into 1 pipe....the sound of the bikes in the movie at high RPM's brings back so many fond memories.
Must be a masterpiece because as a 9 year old girl i got so hooked on this movie that i watched it a million times and i am still here watching it at 45
also I understand american and australian,british have a bit difficulty with scottish but so far so good.i never get these nationalities not understanding each other.:-))
All of them are the real deal. Love and respect. I bought the blu ray edition of all 4 movies and I love them the most.
“See you on the road scag,see you on the road like we saw the night rider”
This weird person went and bought an imported black Ford Falcon XB because I loved Mad Max so much. It wasn't an Interceptor replica (though it had a 351 Cleveland V8) but it was fun as hell to drive around Boulder CO when it was the only right hand drive muscle car on the road there. It's fun to go through drive-through's backward too. Sadly, the car ran me bankrupt and I had to sell it.
16 years old on our 50cc bikes ,we would pull up to a cafe ,reverse in to the kerb and rev our engines and shut them off ,40 years later I’m still riding bikes and still loving mad max.
The most straight talking Aussie panel ever!!! I love this‼️🤣
Loved Mad Max as a kid still do.Best part is living in Melbourne where most of the movie was shot & I actually live 5 mins away from where Johnny The Boy was blown to smithereens at Emu Bottom Bridge, Sunbury.
Mad Max is still one of my all time favorite movies ever, but it has to be the original one WITH OUT the US dubbed voice track!
This was awesome! Thank you popcorntaxi!
I knew Tim Burns as a neighbour in Bondi .Lovely guy . It's beyond me why I never asked him how he survived . Did he go for the leg or the chain ?
Love that flick. I never saw anything but the Aussie version and can't believe they dubbed it. That's crazy. I went out and bought a KZ1000 bike right after seeing this. Got me more tail than humanly possible to service.
johnny the boy always reminded me of tom hanks
Wow.....Thanks so much for uploading this! The Mad Max movies are movies you want to see over and over again. Nice to see some of the people who made the first one after all these years, especially the Goose...And I HATED the the dubbed voices. What a shitty way to do people and it took away from the movie. I will only watch the original version.
this is the best Thank you for the upload
R.I.P. Hugh Keays-Byrne
Thanks for getting this posted...
WOW!! My youth.. had this and road warrior on VHS.. incredible time! Thanks for posting
A masterpiece of a movie from the Golden age of handcrafted Australian Cinema. I didn't recognise Joanne Samuel though ..I had to squint a little to see. I so had a crush on her as a young bloke.
Fantastic! I've watched v1 countless times and drink in the details anew every time.
Man what an awesome group of people.
This was a brilliant film and these actors deserve all the accolades they receive. Of course having Mel Gibson there would have been huge, but the film has so many interesting and complex characters that I am sure the attendees were thrilled anyway.
wow , great to see all u guys again , must get that film out and order the popcorn for sat night
I love how the vehicles seem to have a surreal amount of power. Max is going 190 miles an hour before he steps on the gas and lifts the front of the vehicle up
Australian speedometers read in KPH not MPH.
200 kph is a little over 120 mph
I used to entertain my school friends with the stuttery mechanic line. Great movie.
'Mad Max' & 'Mad Max 2' are in my top 100 movies.
Really enjoyed that.good to see them all together reminiscing 👍
Awesome to see them, what a memorable classic!
The Night Rider....
Demonkai Mugen remember his name, when you look at the night sky
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this movie thanks for the video uploader!
Saw the aussie dub first and fell in love , almost choked when I saw the shitty American dub later. Pointless , they were totally understandable.
BL Ranch speak for yourself. the US version made the characters have much more personality and viciousness.
_Never liked anything but The Road Warrior and Fury Road. The others are shit._
I grew up in Perth and had moved to the UK in 1989 and picked up a copy of the movie on VHS. I picked up something was wrong fairly quickly and managed to work out the voices had been dubbed. Later on the movie was released again and the house 'original Australian dialogue'.
the aussie ver isnt a dub!!!!!!! its original audio
@celtic barbarian , in the Australian version Goose says
Windscreen
American version Windshield
Bubba Zanetti in the Australian version says Johnny the boy don't rate
American version it's Johnny the boy is irate ,
But either way Jimmy the Goose , is Larger than LIFE and twice as ugly
I watched this when I was 7 years old..... Its the reason why I love cars and now own a supercharged V8. Fuckin Aussie Classic! I aaaaaaam tha Niiiiiight Riiiiider!
This and Mad MAx 2 are my all time fave. films since i was a kid! THE GREATEST!!!!!
I always felt that people who like ac/dc, would also like mad max.
Amazing! Good to see all of you.
HILARIOUS! I picture these guys sitting around at a table at a VFW, the way they're talking to each other-clearly there is much love between all these actors!
enjoyed that thanks !!!!
I remember this cast....when I look at the night sky!!! I lay down a rubber road to freedom!!!!!
I remember a few years ago the BBC screened Mad Max and they played the US voice dubbed version. SIN!!!
Hugh Keays-Byrne seems like such a likable dude.
This is truly awesome seeing the cast of Mad Max 30+ years later even if Mel Gibson wasn't there though one would think that he should have been since he played Max and this movie kick started his career, But I really enjoyed this video, Mad Max is one of the ALL-TIME great classic films!
I didn't know that was the Hume. I live just off the Hume in Victoria. Interesting.
JayDogTitan 1464 This was back in 2009.....if my memory serves me correctly, Mel was in the middle of that ill fated soul destroying marriage to that Russian loop Oksana Grigorieva and it was a few years after the 'anti-semetic' rant to the highway cop.....I think he was poison.
awesome thanks for the update.
Utterly fantastic
Can you imagine being a 14 year old and not being able to see this???
Toecutter's presence in this movie.....unreal
I wonder why Mel was not there? This movie made his career.
Tanner Phoenix he thinks his shit don't stink.
Probably busy in Hollywood, as he always has been since returning to America. That, plus the problems he was having with Oksana Grigorieva at the time.
Snob
He knows this movie is shit.
Hes on a crusade! To the promised land...
What an amazing movie, what an amazing group of guys.
