Fun Fact: The costume department assembled the costumes by raiding junk shops, second hand clothing stores, sporting outlets, and S&M shops.

After filming was complete, he was adopted by one of the camera operators. Dog then went back to the trainer and lived a long happy life.
@shootingreal5945 The entire series has interesting parallels to the Bible. All the sequels are tales told by distinct, thriving societies in the distant, to far distant, future. They are all tales of an encounter with this enigmatic man that they only knew as Max whose actions changed the course of their lives and the future of their respective worlds. The Great Northern Tribe The peoples who repopulated Sydney And The Citidel.
I get that the original Mad max is not what people now "think of" in terms of feel and style, but without it... you dont get Mad max 2, 3, 4 or Furiosa. Part 1 is a first time director George Miller on an EXTREMELY tight budget. But it was a huge hit, a cult favorite . and it's why the budgets multiply exponentially with every film. Btw the dog in this is nod to the film that inspired the whole Mad Max (and fallout) series... A Boy and His Dog (1975), a dark, post apocalyptic classic.
When I first saw this movie, it was simply called "The Road Warrior". I hadn't yet seen Mad Max, so I wasn't familiar with the back story, but this movie motivated me to search out the roots, invested me in the franchise, and is still the standard by which I measure the post-apocalyptic genre. The Gyro (and Gyro Captain) are key to this episode, and the revelation of the identity of "the narrator" is a delight.
Stunts in this movie are incredible, and real. None of that CGI crap. Some CGI works, but look at the diff between LOTR vs the Hobbit movies. EFX went backwards vs forward. Gladiator, for example, looks so much better than what we see now. Less is definitely more when using CGI.
If you're looking for the "Mad Max feel", then you should definitely watch the third one. IMO it's an outstanding film. I don't understand the hate, but I guess the edgelords got offended by it for some reason.
Agreed. It would be a shame to skip the third one, it’s my absolute favorite. I compare all post apocalyptic movies to the third, it’s gonna have that dusty feel and look that Fury Road has. It’s truly epic!
The 3rd movie is okay, but it feels more like a Hollywood production and not a local independent-style film, that's what gives the first two films that really cold, darker and gritty feel about them. Some people see the 3rd film as a jump too far in the timeline. Even the second movie jumps a little bit far in the timeline. There could have been a couple of good in-between films. If you look at the first film the Toecutter and his gang are extremely sinister compared to all the other antagonists that come into the next films. And Max is far more angrier and out for vengeance in the first two films. He s a little bit to soft in the third film. Its like they changed it to suit the Hollywood softies, same for Fury road and probably this new furiosa film aswell. The 3rd, 4th and maybe the 5th films just lack the same vibe of the darker and sinister intent of the first two films.
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome is very worthy. Please watch it. The first Mad Max society hadn't collapsed to the point where the rest of the movies are later. It was basically right before.
Mad Max 2 must be the most reference film in the history of 80's cinema, that post acopalyptic aesthetic will last forever, if there is an action film that deserves a 10, it is this one
Thunderdome: Two movies enter, one movie leaves. It is good and you should for sure watch it. Knowing ahead of time that the movie is made up of two completely unrelated stories makes it easier. Don't spend time questioning how we got from story 1 to story 2 and back to story 1, just treat the parts like two different movies.... both are good on their own.
Don't worry about Dog. The dog actor, whose name actually was Dog, was a rescue (he was on the verge of being put down when the production found him, where they trained him for the film by a stunt woman for the production). After the filming was complete, he got to live at a farm owned by another one of the stunt men for the remainder of his life. The TH-cam Channel Mad Max Bible has a video called "History of DOG from Mad Max 2" that details the character's initial design, the the discovery of Dog and how he was directed in the film. I recommend checking out the video.
Most stuntmen today and even the ones who made the two recent Mad Max films say this some of the best precision stunt and physical stunt work even put to film.
When the buggy grappling hooks to the tanker, flips, and is being drug tumbling along behind, there's a stunt driver in there. ... When you see a guy dangling from, or jumping onto the moving tanker, and you can't see the wires or the safety harnesses...yeah. None of those. Just real stuntmen with giant balls.
Fun fact, the helicopter guy is the same actor who played the alien guy in Star Wars Episode 3 on the planet Utapau who said "Tenth level, thousands of battle droids"
a year ago in sept of 22 i joined a year long membership to your patreon... at that time i thought i had gotten all caught up on your reactions.... but damn! since the start of 24 you have hit all the right movies and series.... time to join patreon again.... great job, great work.... consistent and engaging.... BRAVO
I used to get kind of miffed about the reception the refinery people gave Max, but it's actually very understandable. Max was acting entirely in his own self-interest: use the wounded man to get into the refinery and get his tank filled. HIS vehicle had a fair chance to dodge the mob and disappear into the outback, leaving the refinery crew to their fates. Everybody in Humungus' mob looked like Max and his vehicle, and he very well could have been an infiltrator.
If you enjoy the car sequences, you might also enjoy Death Race 2000 (1975). No spoilers about stars or narrative, but as for genre, it has a plethora of automotive action sequences.
My friend saw Mad Max before I did, he was scary to ride with after that film. I was amused at some of your comments concerning the original film, since they sounded a lot like things I was saying about Fury Road, different generations I guess. It's important to understand the context of these films, in MAD MAX society is crumbling, in THE ROAD WARRIOR society has collapsed and in THUNDERDOME society is being rebuilt. The set designer for this film eventually went on to do set design for The Walking Dead. This movie proved to be so popular that practically every post-apocalypse movie made after its release appropriated "the look". I saw this film in the theater close to 25 times and once the VHS came out my watch count skyrocketed to hundreds of viewings - never gets old. Saw the original Australian release of Mad Max 8 years ago and compared to the American release I originally saw it was almost like watching a completely different film. You do need to watch the entire trilogy, Thunderdome had a Hollywood budget and was more mass audience oriented so it has a very different feel than the previous movies while still keeping that "mad max style". Brian May's soundtracks for the first two films were superb.
Yup. Mad Max 2 aka The Road Warrior is awesome and one of the greatest action movies ever made. The stunts are amazing and insane with no fakery, just brave/crazy people going out there and risking life and limb to get so many spectacular shots. It is also hugely influential in creating/defining the whole post-apocalyptic action genre. The first MM is very good especially considering its tiny budget but this just kicks everything up to a whole new level. As much as I love Fury Road this one remains my favourite for its rough raw and super gritty feel. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is good too but is very much the glossy Hollywoodised take on the material but still has great stuff in it.
You have to look at the first movie as before the total apocalypse. The first Mad Max is just the origin story. It’s how he became Mad Max. Every movie after, the world gets worse and worse. By the time Fury road was released the world has been long gone.
Let me put it this way, you've seen the rest, you're gonna watch Furiosa, so you might at well watch MM3:Beyond Thunderdome. I actually like that one, as well. Also, there's a fan film called Hope and Glory that looks really good, I haven't watched it yet.
Mad Max 1 is one of the mast Australian moves of all time. Before this Australian move was the little white pone" and: storm boy". Made with a low cost and little help from Vic roads and police and others. And for those people that don't know this is in Australia please note the driver is on the right side of the car.
I know it was made in Australia but the first Mad Max movie reminds me of low budget US movies where the filmmaker had some good ideas but still hadn't worked out how to use those ideas. Then the filmmaker does a second movie and it's better than their first movie. Tarantino did Reservoir Dogs then Pulp Fiction, which was a big jump. Road Warrior is perfection. George Miller had it all figured out when he did this one.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is actually pretty good. Unfortunately it's a bit underrated because it had to follow a masterpiece like The Road Warrior, and a classic like Mad Max.
Thunderdome starts and ends VERY strong, so you should definitely check it out. The middle part is the most divisive, but it's not weak, and the future-speak is totally worth it just for it's commentary on how modern religions came to be.
In America the title of this film was simply referred to as "The Road Warrior" here in Australia it's just titled "Mad Max 2" when this movie first came out to America Mel Gibson was still an unknown to America at the time. I have to disagree with you about the first film not being the best here australia it's still appreciated and considered an all time australian classic while Mad Max 1 was low budget I love the film simply for that it was just a decent australian action movie infact the first two Mad Max films are very highly regarded, if was to introduce someone to "Mad Max" it would definately be the first film after all it's the film that started it all. Although the third film is not my favourite I still recommend checking it out just to finish off the original trilogy or this could be your kind of film who knows but the first two are definately the best in my opinon and "Fury Road" which definately redeemed the first two films after the third film.
If there wasn't Mad Max there would be no Mad Max 2 or Fury Road and Furiosa. Mad Max had a budget of $350,000 Mad Max 2 had a budget of 4.5 million, this is how quickly it had grown because of the original Mad Max movie. Fury Road had a budget of 185 million! There was no CGI back in the days of Mad Max and Mad Max 2 the stunts were all done by real people. That's where you have to respect both movies.
Mad Max 1 was before the apocalypse and nuclear war, that's why you still saw a normal civilization in quotes, but with a lot of human decadence, by 2 the war had already occurred and the world collapsed and everyone was already free. to their fate as in the wild west.
great reaction as always! you can react to the third one its still worth seeing it, the problem with this movie is its a tale of 2 different movies: everything with the thunderdome is great and on par with the best mad max stuff (same for the 3rd act chase) but the rest involving kids is so much boring and out of touch with this movie and universe (and its long unfortunately). also there's the iconic tina turner!
1. This is the best. Including "Fury Road". That movie proves there can be too much CGI. 2. The hot blonde chick the copter man was chasing😍😋😈 3. Max not staying with those people left the door open for another adventure. 4. The stuntman is Guy Norris' motorcycle-riding raiders hits a car, flies off the bike, smashes his legs against the car, and cartwheels through the air towards the camera, was actually a genuine and nearly fatal accident. He was supposed to just fly over the car without hitting it. He survived, but his leg was broken badly. The moment looked so dramatic that it was kept in the film. 5. When Humongous gets his I go, "Couldn't happen to a nicer guy".
Thunderdome is awesome . Youll like it better than the first and ten years from now youll be like damn , i think i might even like it better than road warrior
0:17 Seventeen seconds into the video and I don't want to see your channel anywhere on this platform ever again. Wow, that was a quick one mate. Thanks. I appreciate the saving audience time apprach 👍
Mad Max 1 was the best by far. The dialogue was fantastic, the characters the soundtrack and the whole Aussie feel to it was unique. MM2 was a great action movie but still doesn’t compare to the original, which a lot of guys my age (50 ish)will agree with. The younger generation needs everything at 100 kph and don’t appreciate a good story. Using the term “gas” is so un-Australian but had to be done so you Seppo’s could understand. Fury road was an insult to Mad Max. Yeah, great action movie, but a Seppo playing Max..Not on and it was primarily about the woman.
This one is the best of the franchise. Thunderdome is ALSO very cool, but it has a real 80s feel. Kinda cheesy. #1 had A shoestring budget and was a cult favorite. This had a WAY bigger budget as did Thunderdome. Fury Road and Furiosa were goofy because there was no Max.
The first Mad Max takes during socialite's collapse this is why the cops in the first film are using tow trucks Motor cycles civilian cars, scrap metal and leather as armour what ever they could get their hands on and Road Warrior is after what the series calls it The Great Collapse the Cops collapse shortly after the first Mad Max films you should definitely read the comics after you watch Thunder Dome it fills in a lot of gaps i the story. PS most of Lord Humongous's is made up of former police officers you can tell by the white helmets and cop cars the mostly use, then you have punks then last Skin heads 9Mixed between the good ones and Neo Nazi ones).
Hi mate ,the first movie was all about the way it was filmed ,crash scene's were a first ,the cameraman hanging of the motor bike filming to get those great shots no-one had ever done that before ,2nd mad max is the wasteland showing max no better than the bad guys , great movies,furiosa is absolutely crap , jumped like 100 years ,and has no qualities of the other 3 movies
I think Road Warrior is a more realistic outcome of a nuclear war than Fury road. Everything would be made from recycled pieces and parts of the old world. Fury road had really fantastic cars that would have to be custom made in some factory. Also Mad Max in this movie had much more charisma, witts,personality. Seemed like a real person that suffered. In Fury road he was nothing. just a victim to be saved the the heroin Furiosa. I did not buy Furiosa as someone who could kick ass. I wish they would have cast someone like Michelle Rodriguez instead of Theron. So I would put Road Warrior as proper Science Fiction and Fury Road more into the fantasy category.
This is the best one in my opinion. The new ones are good but I feel like the rawness of this film is hard to replicate.

Max seemed like Moses from the old Testament..the man who helped ppl enter the promise land but couldn't or wouldn't enter it himself sadly.

You nailed it! I love the 3rd one! #Methane...the movie!
Love the look and feel of part 3
The 3rd movie is okay, but it feels more like a Hollywood production and not a local independent-style film, that's what gives the first two films that really cold, darker and gritty feel about them.

Please react to the 3rd one Beyond The Thunderdome. It's what cemented the Mad Max films into pop culture. 2 men enter. 1 man leave :-D

The ultimate dad joke:
- What is your name?
- My name is Hugh... Mungus.
Budget was surely much bigger than for the first movie. Loved the Feral Kid and the villain with the red Mohican

"The best 80's action movie"
You're god damn right
Fun fact, the helicopter guy is the same actor who played the alien guy in Star Wars Episode 3 on the planet Utapau who said "Tenth level, thousands of battle droids"
Ahh yes, an actual mad max movie.
I definitely think you’ll enjoy the 3rd film

This is where the universe of the Wasteland starts. This is where Max's story really begins.

Fan theory is the boomerang kid is the new Max in the new films.
It was a great theory but Miller said that wasn't the case even though he loved the theory. I still like to think its true.
Let me put it this way, you've seen the rest, you're gonna watch Furiosa, so you might at well watch MM3:Beyond Thunderdome. I actually like that one, as well. Also, there's a fan film called Hope and Glory that looks really good, I haven't watched it yet.
This is one of the best action movies of the era u see fury road in this movie with the final tanker truck scean
This was an amazing movie, especially for a low-budget Australian production. It has the George Miller signature all over it.
The boomerang to the head… classic reaction! HAHA
Mad Max 1 is one of the mast Australian moves of all time. Before this Australian move was the little white pone" and: storm boy". Made with a low cost and little help from Vic roads and police and others. And for those people that don't know this is in Australia please note the driver is on the right side of the car.
Some stuntmen were injured on set. One stuntman broke his shoulder hurling twords the camera. This is balls to walls filming not CGI
Watch the third one I liked it.
Apparently, the only clothing that survived the apocalypse was bondage gear.
I know it was made in Australia but the first Mad Max movie reminds me of low budget US movies where the filmmaker had some good ideas but still hadn't worked out how to use those ideas. Then the filmmaker does a second movie and it's better than their first movie. Tarantino did Reservoir Dogs then Pulp Fiction, which was a big jump. Road Warrior is perfection. George Miller had it all figured out when he did this one.
The guy who somersaulted off the bike really messed his legs up as the stunt was mis-timed. He made sure the shot went in the movie though.
It would be a waster if you don't see Mad Max 3, it's a worthy sequel. It's such a pop-culture movie. Watch it!
YES! Watch Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome! It's worth it!
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is actually pretty good.
Unfortunately it's a bit underrated because it had to follow a masterpiece like The Road Warrior, and a classic like Mad Max.
Thunderdome starts and ends VERY strong, so you should definitely check it out. The middle part is the most divisive, but it's not weak, and the future-speak is totally worth it just for it's commentary on how modern religions came to be.
You have to react to the third
We would like Mad Max 3's reaction a lot!
Yes please watch the 3rd movie.
You should react to "Logan the wolf" its a wolverine fan film set in Viking era and its incredibly high quality for a fan film!
I was 14 when this came out and I thought it was the greatest action movie ever…..until I saw Fury Road 35 years later
you have to watch beyond thunderdome next. not as good as the road warrior but still very good
In America the title of this film was simply referred to as "The Road Warrior" here in Australia it's just titled "Mad Max 2" when this movie first came out to America Mel Gibson was still an unknown to America at the time.
I have to disagree with you about the first film not being the best here australia it's still appreciated and considered an all time australian classic while Mad Max 1 was low budget I love the film simply for that it was just a decent australian action movie infact the first two Mad Max films are very highly regarded, if was to introduce someone to "Mad Max" it would definately be the first film after all it's the film that started it all.

Yes react to the third one it’s actually enjoyable !

Beyond Thunderdome is goofy fun you should definately watch it
If there wasn't Mad Max there would be no Mad Max 2 or Fury Road and Furiosa. Mad Max had a budget of $350,000

Beyond Thunderdome is a lot better than people give it credit for, it's worth watching even if it's not your favorite of the 3
U need to Watch no3 thunderdome saw this in movie love them 1st one still my favorite
Mad Max 1 was before the apocalypse and nuclear war, that's why you still saw a normal civilization in quotes, but with a lot of human decadence, by 2 the war had already occurred and the world collapsed and everyone was already free. to their fate as in the wild west.
In the first film society was just starting to collapse. It's gone completely now. In the third film new societies have started to build.
Do the third one - its a similar style
Do Thunderdome too!!!
Mel only had like 17 lines in this movie.
Interesting fact.
You might as well watch the 3rd one
great reaction as always! you can react to the third one its still worth seeing it, the problem with this movie is its a tale of 2 different movies: everything with the thunderdome is great and on par with the best mad max stuff (same for the 3rd act chase) but the rest involving kids is so much boring and out of touch with this movie and universe (and its long unfortunately). also there's the iconic tina turner!
1. This is the best. Including "Fury Road". That movie proves there can be too much CGI.
2. The hot blonde chick the copter man was chasing😍😋😈
3. Max not staying with those people left the door open for another adventure.
4. The stuntman is Guy Norris' motorcycle-riding raiders hits a car, flies off the bike, smashes his legs against the car, and cartwheels through the air towards the camera, was actually a genuine and nearly fatal accident.

Please watch mad max beyond thunderdome it's a good movie
Mad Max 1 was the best by far. The dialogue was fantastic, the characters the soundtrack and the whole Aussie feel to it was unique.

The younger generation needs everything at 100 kph and don’t appreciate a good story. Using the term “gas” is so un-Australian but had to be done so you Seppo’s could understand. Fury road was an insult to Mad Max. Yeah, great action movie, but a Seppo playing Max..Not on and it was primarily about the woman.
This one is the best of the franchise. Thunderdome is ALSO very cool, but it has a real 80s feel. Kinda cheesy.
#1 had A shoestring budget and was a cult favorite. This had a WAY bigger budget as did Thunderdome. Fury Road and Furiosa were goofy because there was no Max.
The first Mad Max takes during socialite's collapse this is why the cops in the first film are using tow trucks Motor cycles civilian cars, scrap metal and leather as armour what ever they could get their hands on and Road Warrior is after what the series calls it The Great Collapse the Cops collapse shortly after the first Mad Max films you should definitely read the comics after you watch Thunder Dome it fills in a lot of gaps i the story. PS most of Lord Humongous's is made up of former police officers you can tell by the white helmets and cop cars the mostly use, then you have punks then last Skin heads 9Mixed between the good ones and Neo Nazi ones).
The 3rd is great...ya Goofy m8te from Australia
YOU AND YOUR ANNOYING WORDS TAKE ALL THE JOY OUT OF WATCHING THIS MOVIE --- UNWATCHABLE
I watched this one before I watched the first, the first is really not needed.
Many people say this movie was the start of modern action movies
Early 🎉
You cant watch the first 2 Max Max films and NOT watch Beyond Thunderdome. That would be a Mad Max poser move.
Hi mate ,the first movie was all about the way it was filmed ,crash scene's were a first ,the cameraman hanging of the motor bike filming to get those great shots no-one had ever done that before ,2nd mad max is the wasteland showing max no better than the bad guys , great movies,furiosa is absolutely crap , jumped like 100 years ,and has no qualities of the other 3 movies
Oh no. Hahaha Furiosa has nothing to do with the Trilogy. Just a "based on" movie. The attempt to replace mad max by a female character.
I think Road Warrior is a more realistic outcome of a nuclear war than Fury road. Everything would be made from recycled pieces and parts of the old world. Fury road had really fantastic cars that would have to be custom made in some factory. Also Mad Max in this movie had much more charisma, witts,personality. Seemed like a real person that suffered. In Fury road he was nothing. just a victim to be saved the the heroin Furiosa. I did not buy Furiosa as someone who could kick ass. I wish they would have cast someone like Michelle Rodriguez instead of Theron. So I would put Road Warrior as proper Science Fiction and Fury Road more into the fantasy category.
