The end scene with the guy & the hacksaw chained to the car, was the inspiration for the movie Saw
I am so stoked for you to watch the next 2 and see the evolution of the world and mythos.
It's easier to put the continuity dots together when you think of this movie as taking place during the last dying gasps of civilization desperately trying to hold on, and that the nuclear apocalypse takes place in between this and the second film, The Road Warrior, and that Max really only survived it by being out wandering aimlessly in the vastness of the Outback when it happened, and the ensuing madness and crazies that unfolded in the years that followed simply ended up finding him. By the time Max was reunited with humanity, they and the rest of the world were now simply as insane as he is.
Also, regarding the disparity between Max's blonde-haired baby boy and the dark-haired girl that kept popping up in Fury Road, it actually wasn't a continuity error. There's actually a comic book prequel to Fury Road, wherein Max tried to save that girl and her mother from yet more raiders in the Wasteland, and ultimately ended up failing at the last second. You can simply imagine that, over however many years have passed since the bombs fell, Max has had god-only-knows how many experiences where he tried to actually come back and help the people in need he comes across in his travels, only to fail. It's no surprise that those failures would haunt him and only continue to worsen, to the point it would leave Max as feral as he was at the start of Fury Road.
@@Mushie_G Nobody is holding a gun to your head, saying you have to, and that's fine if you didn't like Fury Road. Good for you.
Oh so this is just the final days before everything gets wiped out?
Yeah @Omn1Media this first one is before society falls and the rest are all after and playing on those who survived the nuclear fallout and their sanity whether good or bad as time goes on
@@Omn1Media Pretty much.
@@Mushie_G by that logic then you need to watch every movie and play every game to get the full story
the comic just shows another part of max full story
"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.
The young girl in the Fury Road flashbacks is Glory.
She's a character from the comics, video game and very good fan film.
She is not Max's blood relative.
There's an awesome documentary on the making of Mad Max. For example, they didn't get any filming permits, the motorcycle gang of extras had to ride across the country to get to the set and transformed into a gang, tons of wild stuff!
Toe cutter is a term used to refer to a biker in general. And they just called him that because he’s the leader of biker gang. Not because he’s running around cutting toes off. Lol
Toe Cutter’s are motorcycles that have no or very little chain guards.. if you feet got too close to the bike chain, bye bye toes! As in, don’t get too close to *this* guy, if you do, you’re a goner!
Awesome video. Can’t wait for Road Warrior!
Everything looks more functional because this isn’t a post-apocalyptic story…more like a mid-apocalyptic one. There’s an energy crisis and crime is getting out of control, the police are underfunded and the ones getting hired aren’t always the best & brightest.
Steve Bisley, who played Goose, is Mel Gibson’s best friend since they were in school together, and they auditioned for the film together. This was one of Mel’s first roles and cemented him as an action hero. And if I remember correctly, Max has more lines in this film than the other three *combined.*
DYSTOPIAN is the word to describe the setting. Meaning a world that's set in the future but a world we still recognize 😊
Think of the Mad Max movies as running in chronological order: Mad Max being early apocalypse, Road Warrior mid-, Beyond Thunderdome and Fury Road full on into the apocalypse. I cannot wait for you to see Road Warrior, btw. It's my personal fave.
Omni, my boy.... here's a detail that isn't quite clear: Mad Max (this movie) takes place before society collapses. All of the others are after society has collapsed, and is trying to survive day to day. Those who are left alive, that is...
Also, Hugh Keyes-Byrne did play in both movies, but as different characters. You'll see that again (spoiler warning) with Bruce Spence who even plays a "similar" character in two of the movies, but not the same character.
6:45 - Looking might not have helped.... he had his indicator on. (Also, I first saw this movie with the US voices over-dubbed. I later saw it with the original audio track (the one you're watching here) but noticed the UK/Aussie slang since I was into "foreign" programs as a child, as long as they were speaking English.) ...also, the "Original Aussie audio" is now the "default" audio for this movie, and the "US Version" is the secondary audio track. Worth a watch to see it that way, but it was done to allegedly appeal to Americans audiences back in 1979.
9:45 - And always will be. This was Mel's first movie role.
Kind of. It's after the economic collapse, but during a period where humanity is basically trying to carry on like nothing's changed, and it's before the nuclear war.
@@Heavensrun We don't really see anything "economic related" in this movie, but I'd say definitely well into the decline, if nothing else. I probably should have mentioned the "likely timeline" that's been discussed in depth, about this movie taking place "a few years from now", as (dammit, I forget what the guestimates were off the top of my head, it's been a while since I watched that video) sometime in the 80s or 90s? Then the off screen nuclear war happens, and we come back to this world in Road Warrior, and finally Beyond Thunderdome (I honestly don't know where Fury Road fits in it, as I've never seen it..... I just can't picture anyone but Mel playing Max).
Well, this isn’t Mel’s first movie role. Just his first good movie role.
And a few of them were filmed before this movie, but released after… because mad max gained him some traction.
Most of the motrocycel gang was played by actual motorcycle Han members with the exception of Toecutter, Bubba Zanetti, the Night rider, and Johnny the boy. They where partially paid in Beer
This and Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior is the reason there are so many safety measures when it comes to stunt performers today.
This is a fun movie! I always loved Road Warrior more. The sequel to this. It’s more apocalyptic and wilder. Hope you watch that next.
*there was a girl haunting Max in Fury Road, but she wasn't calling him "papa," she called him by his name, Max. Fury Road was in development limbo for nearly a decade and a half. George Miller was an emergency medical doctor when he decided to curb his curiosity of creating his genre defying debut that ushered in many dystopian knockoffs. The sequel, Mad Max: The Road Warrior, was the best all around in the first trilogy of films. George Miller has a long a varyingly eclectic career with movies like a family drama with Susan Surrandon and Nick Nolte in Lorenzo's Oil, a talking animal family films like Babe and Happy Feet, and most recently, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 🤯
A normal day in Australia
It's very simple, all movies are in sequence. 1 2 3 4. The first 3 films, the original trilogy is grounded (Terry Hayes wrote backstories for everything relating to the real world and locations etc).
But with Mad Max 4 - Fury Road (and the upcoming prequels) George Miller started turning this franchise into a campfire myth BIG TIME. That's the best way to explain it.
Oh yeah... The original Mad Max films work for me as a trilogy of the story of civilization. To me the movies are like a modern western of the 2nd and 3rd film. The movie wasn't made by Hollywood, but in Australia. Yeah, this is the last vestiges of civilization. Next up is what you'll see that set the standard for a post apocalyptic look. Don't concern yourself too much with Max's backstory that you say in Fury Road. Great reaction. Looking forward to Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
It's wild to think that this is from the same man that gave us Happy Feet 😂
It's been assumed by film theorists that Max might be a title adopted by several heroic figures in the mythology of that universe, and not the name of a specific character.
In this movie, the collapse is ongoing. In the sequel The Road Warrior, it’s a few years after the collapse.
The film that started a franchise and a wonderful director's career. Fun watch
Beyond the Thunderdome is my favorite. I never got this first one.
The Uh-may-zing Tina Turner and her sax player were essential to memories of my high school years
Fury Road was what Miller was thriving for since the first movie, so it's fun to see where it all started.
The next movie The Road Warrior is the one that connects the dots
Location: Australia.
This was the first film for Mel Gibson (he was still attending school).
This film was made on a shoe string budget in which Miller, an ER doc at the time, used his own money to help finance it.
Guerilla Film Making at its best: called in favors; the motorcycle gang members brought in their own bikes, etc.; permits?
Great reaction. Looking forward to you finishing up the original trilogy.
Mad Max takes place in a dystopic period, before the apocalypse that was ultimately triggered by the world's desperation to survive and ultimate de-evolution. Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior takes place shortly after, perhaps a generation, and Beyond Thunderdome is perhaps another generation later. Mad Max is a mythology.
Beyond Thunder dome is a generation after Rod Warrior is about 3 years after the collapse.
@@jonathancunningham8739 Time has definitely passed since the kids have a very skewed view of the world that was.
I'm sure I'm wrong, but my head-cannon has always been that these stories are the legends being told about Max by the people looking for a hero. So the details get a bit fuzzy.
I live near the roads this was filmed on, I've been in police station, the underground car park and other settings. It's an amazing experience.
Mad Max was Mel Gibson's first movie and got him into Hollywood.
BTW, NightRider broke down in tears because he lost the game of chicken and whatever confidence he had.
5:04 Technically speaking, Yes. It's a motorcycle gang but the same actor is both Immortan Joe and Toe Cutter
Wait till number 2 bro hella good
I'm happy to see you decided to watch this
You should look into how this movie was made. It is really funny and ingenious how George did a lot of things to make this movie.
Check out the next movie in the franchise "The Road Warrior". We'll see the post apocalyptic world in that one.
Night Rider's sudden change from psychotic to weeping was because whatever he was on wore off.
Extras in this movie were paid with beer, and that’s awesome, cheers 🍻
There were also characters from the Mad Max comic books / graphic novels involved in the flashbacks of Fury Road, so don't try too hard to connect one movie to the next. Sure, this is an origin story in this first one, but after this, the chronology doesn't impact the world-building and it can be randomly episodic.
This movie takes place right before the nuclear war. Infrastructure’s breaking down, and nomadic psycho gangs are taking over the highways. The prologue for Mad Max 2 adds a little more context to events.
The Nukes happened after road Warrior.
Gosh you're gonna love Road Warrior
If you did see this brother then you know why he became the way he was I love this movie I saw it in the theaters
I just laugh at the fact that George Miller than known for making there very violent films went into 20th century fox offices in the 1990s and said, my next film will be about a talking oig(Babe)
You mentioned once when you saw the bird (Falcon?) something about Hollywood Production....this movie was very independent. Many of the extras got paid with a flat of beer....just to put things into perspective. This is back when Dr. Miller got tired of being a medical doctor and decided to become a director (he was an emergency room doc if I recall correctly).
MAD MAX movies are basically the same as EVIL DEAD films - they're not designed to have a continuity, they're designed for the filmmakers to try new things and 'level up' their skills. As such, THE ROAD WARRIOR is a soft reboot of MAD MAX and FURY ROAD is a second soft reboot. Not that 'soft reboot' means anything when none of the four films are intended to have continuity.
In terms of the little girl you see in Max's visions in FURY ROAD - she's from a prequel comic that was released as part of the film's promotion. The story revolves around Max meeting and getting into a relationship with a woman who has a young daughter and there is also an old Aboriginal man that he befriends. They are all killed before the events of FURY ROAD. It's arguable that Miller created them as part of the film's "soft reboot" so he wouldn't need to revisit the original film with Jessie and Sprog and have to intercut 1979 footage with FURY ROAD's aesthetic.
So, long story short, it seems that the upcoming FURIOSA might be the first MAD MAX film that aims to create a sense of continuity for the series as Miller is certainly no longer filming these movies to 'learn more about filmmaking'.
And as far as MAD MAX's contemporaries go, the film was an indie movie funded largely by George Miller's own money that he made as an ER doctor. The only contemporaries that exist that are comparable to MAD MAX would be THE FRENCH CONNECTION and some of the trucker films of the 1970's like CONVOY. Suffice it to say, there are very few "car stunt" films on MAD MAX's scale that didn't require tens of millions of dollars to produce. MAD MAX (1979) was made for $350,000 USD by comparison.
And I'm sure it's been mentioned here and in your FURY ROAD review, but the MAD MAX series (THE ROAD WARRIOR in particular) is where the dystopian apocalyptic punk aesthetic comes from. It is the originator of the post-nuclear holocaust, mutations, biker gangs in the desert, BDSM clothing, ultra-violent fight for survival trope. After the release of THE ROAD WARRIOR, there was a huge flood of post-nuclear-apocalypse action films all throughout the 1980's.
George Miller was not big on continuity. In fact when pressed on the topic he said that the Mad Max films represent legends told far in the future about Mad Max and his adventures. Therefore, as you will see regarding Bruce Spence's "autogyro pilot" character in the 2nd and 3rd films...just go with it, lol. I love all 3 of the first films. Aussie post apocalyptic westerns and great, fun, flicks!
By the way...there's some kind of bird based symbolism going on here...crows and buzzards and the cawing when bad things happen, the hawk when Max gets up and you know he's gonna whup some pooty hole, lol!
There's something very...comic booky about this film. Not saying that in a bad way.
what's pretty goofy is when this movie was released in American theaters, they dubbed out the Aussie accents with American voice overs
This is my favorite mad max movie.
The thing to remember it was a very low budget film so they stripped it down to it's bare essentials, a revenge story. What I would compare it to is one of the early spaghetti westerns, instead of Clint Eastwood we have Me Gibson. Strong silent type who caries the film with his screen presences. The movie is notable for launching his career and the franchise. What caught peoples attention beyond Mel Gibson was this rough unpolished kind of film was predecessor to reality based content. It feels raw and unscripted and that's what I enjoy about it even today despite any technical short comings. The part where his wife and child is run down was shocking. There's unspoken rule kids don't get killed in movies.
Biggest grossing film for decades if you consider the small budget put in it !
Way ahead of it's time , a masterpiece .
Mad Max is George Millers baby lol
Tom Hardy can't hold Mel Gibson's belt buckle. Mel is Mad Max. There are no substitutes.
MrSundayMovies, an australian YT channel commented on the first movie, this is not after a fallout, this is just Australia at that time and the story why Max has become so Mad. All had a laugh, the real shit happened after this one.
This movie and it's sequel were inspiration for Fallout.
This movie was an inspiration for every post apocalyptic film out there. So many rip offs and honorable homages.
This was one of the major inspirations. A Boy and His Dog was another.
NO TUVO MAS HIJOS, es q durante toda la saga el ayuda a niños, 2 y 3 esta llena de niños, Mad max trata de la utopia del apocalipsis y de la lucha de salvar al inocente de los impios
Day 11 of petitioning you to watch Murderdrones
The sequel to this is one of the best sequels of all time. Because it's SO SO SO much better than this movie.
Plenti af guzzolin in this poxkolips.
The difference between Mad Max and the Fury Road movie is that here there is no CGI crap. All the stunts and driving scenes are REAL.
there is only one mad max. mel gibson.
Mad Max was a little iffy for me. It didn’t age very well but I’m older and seen it in the 80’s. Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior was significantly better.
Uh it did age well from special effects to the characters and message. Also what are you talking about if anything Max's boss
Fifi Macaffee is one of the best unofficial Homosexual representation a homosexual man who is flamboyant and yet not the stereotypical feminine you see in many films even today. The film was and still is at times progressive even for today.
@@jonathancunningham8739 Totally agree.
The only Mad Max movie you ever need to see. Sorry but I was never able to get into The Road Warrior. This movie is perfection in my eyes. It's so raw and unpolished just like the world it takes place in.
Fury Road should have been made either thirty-plus years ago or not at all.
