I honestly really enjoy Beyond Thunderdome before this scene. I don't think it's bad from here exactly, but it's not the film that was previously built up (and it's certainly not Mad Max!) That said, the closing scene is really touching and makes a lot of this nonsense feel almost worth it.
Yeah, much like the Ewoks in _Return of the Jedi._ On first viewing everything is new and exciting, but upon consideration, it's too different and childish.
Where did all those kids come from? Savannah and what's his face were too young to have popped them all out, and the kids were too young to be original passengers or even children of them.
Someone said it had been 20 years, others 5. But yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense that grownups would just walk off and leave them. But then Max left with a few of them to return to Bartertown. Someone had it in mind to do a _Lord of the Flies_ thing, with too many kids alone for too long.
@@sandal_thong8631 My guess is that the adults left a few at a time, and those that remained died of illness or injury until only the children were left. Those children, on becoming older, had children of their own. My guess is that the older children then died, either from accidents, injury, leaving, or childbirth.
I remember watching this on Amazon Prime a few months ago. I gotta admit this tribe of kids have got quite the good cause of bringing back the society that made a free country of laws And even though it felt like they were going about it all wrong with claiming mad max to be their prophecy and savor of a captain it still looked like they were right on the money when it came to what was left of Sydney
It's based on Pacific cargo cults. On small islands in the Pacific, that were not very highly developed, islanders reacted in a really weird way, when they first met Europeans. The islanders saw, that the colonisers did all sorts of weird $hit, but apparently didn't work for a living. But very regularly giant canoes with food, livestock, furniture, clothes, weapons etc. would show up and drop off all this stuff for the colonisers. So the islanders developed a theory: The weird $hit, that they didn't recognise as work (like writing reports or military exercises) must be some sort of extremely effective religious service for gods, that lived beyond the horizon and kept sending those canoes with supplies (or cargo - hence "cargo cult"). And they were even able to identify some of those gods: Every British colonial office back then had a picture of the ruling monarch (usually Queen Victoria), and one of Jesus Christ. So... in order to get the desired cargo, the islanders would a) show great interest in the colonisers' religious beliefs, and b) start copying their behaviour. They made uniforms and even mock rifles and sabres, that resembled British equipment and started to join the baffled troops in their morning exercises. They pretended to write by scratching symbols into leaves with a stick. They were extremely eager to build ports, and in some cases they even built landing strips for small planes, because they believed that this would attract divine canoes and flying machines - which isn't wrong. Having a port or a landing strip makes it more likely, that ships or planes will consider your island for a stop. European hunters dug out artificial ponds to attract ducks; very similar concept. This mimicking mixed with Christian beliefs spawned messianic cargo cults. For example, some islanders who got into contact with American soldiers in WWII believe, that John Frum (he has his own wiki entry) will return to them and fix their cola vending machine. This is most likely based on a US soldier named John, who kept introducing himself as "John from [insert place name, that was too complicated for the islanders to memorise]" and was nice enough to give them free cola cans every now and then. Like Jesus he left them behind (without cargo), when he had to go home, but they have been waiting for his return ever since. He has become a godlike figure for them, that will come and improve their lives someday. This may all sound funny to you, but it's a fascinating worldview of people, who live in very primitive societies and fell for the Christian promises of salvation by a messiah. Their behaviour is only odd if you don't understand the background story. It actually makes perfect sense. Some of those cults exist close to Australia, so it was a really clever move to give those lost, savage kids a cargo cult as a defining feature. They have these remains of a lost civilisation and don't know how to explain those things, so they use the same logic as those Pacific islanders, that were weirded out by guns, ships, sofas and soda cans.
I love the way they talk.
Spielberg clearly saw this movie before making Hook.
That's what I was thinking, Hook!
Gosh, I thought the same.
I was like: hey, I am in Peter Pan now. 😊
Literally thought the same thing ... Then saw this comment
LoL Wonder Woman 85 is the ad after this clip. And I can’t help laughing that even Beyond Thunderdome was a better film than WW85.
No
Bangerang Max!

Max should tell furiousa, and many mothers about crack in the earth from thunderdome.
The end.
Or maybe crack in the earth were actually "green place"
Or became the sand people
My guess is, the crack came after that.
But I imagine the Great Northern Tribe meeting the Crack in the Earth tribe.

@@Dannyborchi A plane full of children?
Kids of the adult plane crash survivors who gradually got killed or kidnapped by bandits everytime they ventured out for resources or help.

Great movie one of the best❤❤😂😂❤❤😂

"Sure, let's greenlight that." 🙄
Yeah it really was great idea. I love this movie 😁.
@@shayla106 me too it’s awesome.
the children's culture is pretty awesome as the last collective memory is how to behave on airplanes and how radios work
Yeah??
It was a great movie
What’s your point?

did george miller took inspiration from george lucas ewok when making this?

Yep, it was a good movie until they actually went Beyond Thunderdome.
