THIS MOVIE RULED THE WASTELAND FOR 30 YEARS BEFORE FURY ROAD SHOWED UP! Such a classic and we LOVE the Feral Child! WHERE DOES THIS ONE RANK in MILLER'S Mad Max Saga?! Hit up Patreon.com/SeanTanktop for the full reaction and early access to new MMM shoots like Last of the Mohicans and Big Trouble in Little China RIGHT NOW!!!
The Warrior Woman is played by Virginia Hey. This was her big claim to fame (other than being a Bond girl in The Living Daylights) until 1999, when a little show called Farscape made her a sci-fi legend, in the role of the blue-skinned priestess Zhaan.
The Final Fantasy 16-bit era character you are referring to did exist. He was in FF6 and he was called Gau. You rescued him from the Veldt and while there he could leap onto enemies, disappear, and then reappear in a subsequent battle having learned their skills. Good times. Good times.
Been a massive fan of you guys since the early Watchers in the Bar days, I’m an Aussie and every year my dad and I sit down and do 2 movie marathons, Lord of the Rings and Mad Max. I’m a gal but I live for Manly Movie Mondays!!!
The creators of The Last Of Us & Cobra Kai should make the abandoned George Miller Mad Max tv series that was meant to be set after Mad Max 2 set around him rebuilding his car(remnants of that idea is seen in Mad Max 3 the truck that towed by the camels in Thunderdome and in Fury Road the visions of the past.....
Still my hands down favourite Mad Max movie. I cried when his Interceptor was destroyed, sorry about the dog also, but his car was it for me.. Mel was awesome in the role. I think everybody really knew that Max wasn't really Max without his Interceptor , and thats why they keep bringing it back.. No disrespect intended to Tom Hardy , whom I do like as an actor, but Mel Gibson will always be Mad Max to me. I don't like how they introduced Fury Road , as Mad max - fury road , considering that it's about Furiousa and Max is only a supporting role in it. They should have just called it Fury Road , and to cap it off - they destroyed the Interceptor again after less than 2 mins of screen time ? .. jesus.. Max and the Interceptor got a quick cameo in the new Furiosa movie , so hopefully they'll do the Wasteland movie that they've been planning on, set before Fury Road - with Max and his Interceptor..
Oh guys, you make me feel so proud to be an Aussie! And in terms of the quirky humour, just remember it's made by an Australian. We're a weird mob! And those accents are hilarious!
So badass! It's one of the best MAD MAX movies ever made! The movie was inspired by Joseph Campbell's The Hero With A Thousand Faces, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven and the films of Akira Kurosawa.
If I'm not mistaken, the refinery explosion held the record for the largest practical explosion in film history until they blew up the compound in Spectre. I do know that the opening prologue (which none of the other movies have) was added because this was the first Mad Max film to have a wide theatrical release internationally, and most US audiences never saw the original film until it came out on home video...one of the most atrocious home releases of all time, by the way, because MGM redubbed the entire cast to have American accents for some reason.
There’s an interview where someone asked Miller about Fury Road Max possibly being the Feral Kid and he said that it’s not true- the movies have common elements but they aren’t really meant to be direct sequels but rather different stories being told about Max around campfires generations later, long after he’s died and become essentially a mythological figure in the wasteland. This is sort of lampshaded in the opening of this movie with the narration of the Feral Kid as an old man recounting his memories of Max.

My heart still belongs to Thunder Dome (Tina Turner was absolutely stunning) but yeah, this is very good. The first one was filmed a while down the road where I grew up. Tom's Max could still be the narrator and rejoined the great northern tribe when he's older, he is the kind of character who does not want to be The Main Character, he just wants his car and his dog.
I kinda dig that our heroes defending the rig with max all die pointless deaths, there's no glory out in the wastelands, no one gets a "blaze of glory", its violent and violent people die in quick violent ways. Kinda like The last of us.
Everybody talks about the used future in "Star Wars" but love has to be given to movies like this or "12 Monkeys" that show in a societal collapse, things have to be built from scraps. The vehicles and sets and costumes look cobbled together and it sells the world.
Thanks for another great reaction gents. You guys have to watch ‘Not Quite Hollywood: the Wild Untold Story of Ozploitation’, a documentary about the golden age of Australian exploitation flicks that led to films like Mad Max, Razorback, and possibly the silliest sci-fi dystopian film ever made called Turkey Shoot. You won’t be disappointed!
I love the unnecessary aesthetic of the Mad Max universe. they're all barely surviving yet they take time to make fancy masks and decorate themselves with feathers and fur and carefully manufactured ornamental metal spikes and shit. I was a huge Mad Max fan when I was little and when I was a teenager I saw Tank Girl and said "they're style is so Mad Max" --the vibe is "we're constantly 2 minutes from dying but we look cool"
I have a recommendation for a great but obscure Manly Movie. It came out about the same time as the Road Warrior. It was filmed in the same area/locations, features the late Arkie Whitely (the Gyro's love interest), And most importantly, the same cinematographer as MM2, Dean Semler... : "Razorback" The Australian giant killer boar movie. It's a lot of fun, and gorgeous to look at.
For a totally different genre and another kind of exhausting George Miller experience, I suggest you (reactors and other people reading this who never saw it) to watch his Lorenzo's Oil - It's another masterpiece, but be careful/T.W./etc. : that movie about a little kid getting sick is tough, even for the manly-movie-mondayers we all are❤🔥
Just saw a great bit of fan lore that I really enjoyed that ties fury Road to this original trilogy. It’s been suggested that the feral child is actually Tom Hardy in fury Road and just chose to take the name Max rochatansky out of respect for the road warrior who inspired him to lead the great northern tribe. And the PTSD we see that Max working through is the loss of great northern tribe to the armies of the immortan Joe. They make this connection because you see our Mel Max give the music box to the feral child in this film so why would Tom Hardy’s Max still have it in the future for the one wive’s played by Zoe Kravitz to play with if it is the same Max.
@@SeanTanktop Damn. Had to get to work so guilty halfway thru viewing commenter. Glad you all discussed it though! Something I had only heard recently.
4:31 Oh my god! speaking of! I’d love it if you guys covered Waterworld. I watched both versions for the first time this year and it’s become a favorite. I think you’d have fun with either version
Fury Road is a masterpiece. But it feels like a comic book. Mad Max 2 feels like a documentary. As weird as it is, it feels very grounded. It's so much more raw, and the action feels dangerous. (Because it was.) Road Warrior is still the best in the series, IMO. ... I am, however, biased. Imagine it's 1982. You live in Phoenix (desert wasteland). Cars are in your blood. You can identify most by year and model. The Road Warrior is on HBO 3 times a day. And you're 7. It melted my brain and captivated my soul. ... In the same way that George Romero created a genre with Night of the Living Dead, so too did George Miller. To this day, if you say "post-apocalyptic", it's the Mad Max 2 asthetic most people think of.
1:45 It still is the best Mad Max film mate. Can't possibly compare aimless infantile CGI infested self plagiarised nonsense with miscast Max being a sidekick in his own film to the unsurpassed pinnacle of vehicular action. Geez, I didn't think there were guys this old liking Furiosa Road...even in the 2020s US.
@@codysepulvado8720 Nah drama queen mate, you can't seem to get anything right these days. It's more about: - Insufferably infantile overdesign - CGI-infested video game-ish visuals - Cheap fan service over consistency - Recycled plot points that make even less sense than back when they were recycled for the first time - Mel replaced as Max and his silent yet formidable presence mistaken for incompetent mumbling sidekick buffoonery - And overall - this jarring, painfully obvious commercial exploitation of a long finished trilogy - Yeah and did I mention CGI...
He made like one or two comments, basically the same amount as everyone else does when Mel Gibsons name is mentioned. Blame Mel for saying horrendous shit
One part of the Mad Max films that I feel is underdiscussed is how language/grammar changes/degrades under circumstances where no education system exists. Beyond Thunderdome is particularly great for this and the writing is still very beautiful and expressive. Savannah Nix: Time counts and keeps countin', and we knows now finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride. But that's our trek, we gotta' travel it. And there ain't nobody knows where it's gonna' lead. Still in all, every night we does the tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from... but most of all we 'members the man that finded us, him that came the salvage. And we lights the city, not just for him, but for all of them that are still out there. 'Cause we knows there come a night, when they sees the distant light, and they'll be comin' home.
I don't know if you catch the names that Humungus mentions, but the "Gayboy Berserkers, Skinheads, Punks and Smegma Crazies" are names of the factions of his marauders. I am not going to dwell on this, but the movies, especially this one, have an undercurrent of homophobia. There is an old comment from Miller that I won't mention here because I can't seem to find it so it wouldn't be fair, but it suggested that at least at this time he was not particularly evolved in his beliefs. That said, I grew up on these movies and still very much love them.

Why don't You shut up and just say a couple words and let us watch the movie

Take a shot whenever you hear the word "like".
The Final Fantasy 16-bit era character you are referring to did exist. He was in FF6 and he was called Gau. You rescued him from the Veldt and while there he could leap onto enemies, disappear, and then reappear in a subsequent battle having learned their skills.
Good times. Good times.

When I first saw this, I thought the sand meant that the compound people were just deluded and had been pumping sand all the time.
As an Australian, I approve of the Australia commentary. :'D

"...a huge mound of empty cardboard boxes." lol
Guy Norris. Messed up his leg with that one. Also, Stunt Coordinator on Fury Road & Furiosa. The man is a legend.
Honestly, that was the norm for 80s & 90s Hong Kong action movies, especially Jackie Chan's.
Legit just got home from work after nonstop in-person meetings and Daddy Sean drops this gem with the boys. Let’s 👏 Fucking 👏 Go 👏
🚗🚙🚚
EVERY TIME I WATCH A MANLY MOVIE MONDAY I FEEL MORE MANLY AND IT'S TUESDAY SO IT IS STILL RESIDUAL MANLINESS HENCE THE ALL CAPS.
WE FEEL THE SAME! SOMETIMES ITS TESTOSTERONE TUESDAY!!

Many have already said that pretty much every Mad Max movie isn't about him. Even the new movie's title carries his name.
Oh guys, you make me feel so proud to be an Aussie!
And in terms of the quirky humour, just remember it's made by an Australian.
We're a weird mob!
And those accents are hilarious!
see this is that Aussie vibe! If you were British or French you'd be up our asses about the accents! Yall been fun! Cheers mate!
These documentaries about Australia are wild.
So badass!
It's one of the best MAD MAX movies ever made!

Still my favorite mad max movie. this was an insane production through and through.
"Please, sir, help me!!"
"Yeah....nah, I just want your fuel."
Always love the Manly Movie Mondays. Can’t wait for Last Of The Mohicans.

Bruce Spence: & also the Mouth of Sauron (a character only in the extended version of LOTR Return of the King).
In a LOTR movie, a Matrix movie and a Star Wars movie.
@@floydster23 he collected them all! 1000s of battle droids!
My heart still belongs to Thunder Dome (Tina Turner was absolutely stunning) but yeah, this is very good. The first one was filmed a while down the road where I grew up.
Tom's Max could still be the narrator and rejoined the great northern tribe when he's older, he is the kind of character who does not want to be The Main Character, he just wants his car and his dog.
"... But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior..."
I get chills everytime I hear that line.
I kinda dig that our heroes defending the rig with max all die pointless deaths, there's no glory out in the wastelands, no one gets a "blaze of glory", its violent and violent people die in quick violent ways. Kinda like The last of us.
in that way it's way more uncompromising and better that FR, I will give it that.
Hence, Immortan Joe gave people's lives some meaning even if it's based on a lie.
MANLY MOVIE MONDAY IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
lets get it
The feral kid should've been Tom Hardys Max all grown up. His visual appearance with the long hair and the way he grunts, would've been perfect!
Fun fact :
The dog barks with an Australian accent
Everybody talks about the used future in "Star Wars" but love has to be given to movies like this or "12 Monkeys" that show in a societal collapse, things have to be built from scraps. The vehicles and sets and costumes look cobbled together and it sells the world.

A friend gave me a good piece of advice that has stuck with me. "Don't compare the Art and the Artist." It has served my peace well.
we just acknowledged the artist and and then enjoyed the art. where the harm in that?
so great to see Manly Movie Monday back.
you really need to watch Stone Cold, it's a perfect MMM movie fae the director of Action Jackson.
Oh we SEEN it.

wtf, I just rewatched this last night. Stop stalking Sean!
Oh I haven't seen the old mad max movies for so long! So formative for little me.
No way is Fury Road better than Mad Max 2!
It is the best one, Fury Road is to American.
