- That's it, that's the video. I watched every Mad Max movie from the 1979 original to Furiosa, and I ate a lot of tacos. Why did I do this? Find out! Support Renegade Cut on Patreon: / renegadecut

0:00 Intro
3:55 Mad Max
8:24 The Road Warrior
13:09 Beyond Thunderdome
16:23 Fury Road
19:27 Furiosa
the original mad max is much like first blood in the way thats its nothing like what people think mad max or rambo films are like
It was so low budget that a lot of extras were paid in beer!
It's crazy to think the main reason these films are post-apocalyptic is they could only afford to shoot on lonely roads and abandoned towns/buildings.
But unlike first blood i can appreciate the depature of the mad max movies. Road warrior had this undertone of desperate scarcity that i really enjoyed ( think of Max's shotgun shells, scarce and failing) that also built upon the Original like Terminator 2 did. First blood 2 was correcting the crime of critizing the US Military by taking the conspiracy of missing Vietnam POW and turning it into Death Wish movie.
It is also weird in the sense this is post apocalypse? They go out and buy ice cream
It naturally evokes a distopian atmosphere from a deep australian sense of lawlessness and cultural obsession with cars
Digging Leon's "Not giving a fuck" arc.
That is the least words any video essayist has ever dedicated to Fury Road
A few weeks ago I watched a reaction video of an Australian watching Mad Max for the first time. She went in blind and never realized that it was set in the near future at the start of civilizational collapse until it was over and she started reading the DVD box.
This channel is the Gremlins 2 of TH-cam. The director has full control and the audience is in for a ride. You get Brainy Gremlin, Goofball Gremlin, Batman symbols, Count Dooku waiting for his rabies, Slayer soundtrack, Phoebe Cates recounting the worst Lincoln's Birthday ever.
Unironically, Babe may be Miller's best film. If you can watch that movie and not cheer for Babe while letting the tears of complete and unadulterated joy flow, then you're a monster. James Cromwell saying, "that'll do pig" is iconic. I still use that phrase today to express admiration.
I love Babe: Pig in the City and I frequently say "Thank the Pig."
The Babe films, Babeverse if you will, are so underrated. I think it's because most movies with talking animals are kinda simple, but the Babeverse is full of heart.
Tacos AND George Miller?
Oh what a day. What a lovely day.
Mad Max Taco Warrior Who Stuffed The :
You watched all the Mad Max movies and only crushed one taco twelve pack? Absolutely Haram.
Harem
Also, as a quick aside, I always enjoyed your political content, but I have sincerely loved your return to film and media analysis with your newfound zeal and zaniness. The slight political tilt works well, too. It all works. You’re great, this video is great, and this whole channel is great. Keep doing whatever you want to do. I always know it’s going to be worthwhile.
Thanks mate, that is exactly what I wanted to say as well!
Ditto, he used to teach me so much then the world broke and now he makes me smile while dropping bits of knowledge.
Hell of a mind and I'm thankful he shares it with us.
Seconded. Couldn't have said it better.
This channel feels like when the quiet but secure friend in the group, the one who rarely says anything and usually just watches amused from the sidelines, finally is comfortable enough with you to be the last one to leave the monthly Friday night get-together at your house. Then they stick around on your couch with a drink in their hand, dryly sharing this incredibly insightful funny set of observations until 3 am, and you wish they’d stay longer.
seconded
Fun fact: when Demolition Man came out, we didn’t have a Taco Bell anywhere within reasonable driving distance. So it really did feel like the food of the future
Taco Bell was so far away from us that they dubbed the film over with new dialogue and superimposed a Pizza Hut logo onto everything. 😂
"Except astronauts..." I lost it there
Got me too, so good
It was "He died; his eyes bulging ... I ate a taco in his honour" for me.
Astronauts in low earth orbit travel about 17500 mph and experience time slower than ppl on earth by fractions of a second.
Time moves slightly slower for astronauts. There are videos about it
The little jokes like that, that's what keeps me hooked
I know for sure that I definitely saw Babe 2: Pig in The City when I was a kid but from the plot summary I guess I remembered absolutely nothing.
I think I watched half of it in Spanish in my middle school Spanish class. Also don't recall the plot lol
5 cool movies and 12 tacos.
Sounds like a day well-spent.
I think the idea behind the “biker gangs in a fuel-scarcity apocalypse” thing is that fuel shortages led to fuel hoarding which led to having vast fuel reserves to power your extravagant cars being a cultural signifier and we can see by Fury Road cars have basically become a religion to some people. Plus Max likes cars and the movies follow him primarily, we can see from the holedwellers and wordburgers from Furiosa that there are plenty of wastelanders leading non car related lifestyles, so for all we know the road warriors could be a very small percentage of the population that Max disproportionally deals with.
My personal head canon is that, in the mad max world, most everyone is doing ok but Australia just decided to go all in
"Who killed the world?" more like "Who killed their digestive tract?", the answer? Renegade eating 12 tacos.
I'm not even 5 minutes in and I've bellylaughed like 6 times
This is one of your best videos. I’m not even being sarcastic or ironic. This is peak.
AGREED! It's just great seeing him have fun again finally
Somehow it reminds me of the best Seinfeld episodes, where all the random things all end up relating and contributing in non-random ways. He brought it all together. I agree, this is peak.
Should of added the crunch of the tacos but i digress
Controversial Headcannon: With each Mad Max movie getting further and further away from the end of the world with no visible aging from Max, I convinced myself that Max isn't a man but a Ghost Rider esque Spirit of Vengeance and High Octane that possesses people and forces them to walk with a limp and be a reluctant hero.
Edit: I came to this conclusion while playing the 2015 Mad Max game.
I like the idea that any sufficiently angry man who isn’t a complete bastard could be dubbed the new ‘Max’
You're head cannon is now my head cannon.
I like the RLM theory that Max isn't a guy anymore, it's series of wasteland fables people tell and they're just all attributed to him because he was such a legendary figure at one point in time so everything legendary is attributed to him whether true or not.
fury road is obviously a reboot with a different timeline
@@kamikazilucas You're missing the point.
Might be my favorite line from any media anywhere:
"What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?"
"You do what you can."
Top tier, video. Ne well.
It's funny how the Mad Max movies have so little dialogue but when they do speak, their lines are very memorable/quotable.
"I am the Nightrider. I am fuel injected suicide machine."
"The Ayatollah of Rocknrolla!"
"Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror."
"Who run Bartertown?"
"Two men enter, one man leaves!"
"Bust a deal! Face the wheel!"
"Witness me!"
"Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!"
"Mediocre!"
1:31 "i am here to eat tacos"
i can't tell you how much i wanted to be followed up by something like "and I'm all out of babe" XD
That'll do Renegade Cut dude, that'll do.
Leon, I haven’t laughed so much in a very long time. Please know the joy is as important to me as everything else you've provided over the years.
You gotta respect anyone who commits to leather fetish esthetic in Australia. Especially post-apocapypse.
Road warrior and thunderdome are some of my childhood favourites. Then i saw fury road and my mind never recovered from being completely blown. Truly one of my favourite movies
You gotta go see furiosa if you haven’t it’s incredible
Leon is under Big Taco's thumb. It's the only explanation for my irresistible urge to consume them tonight.
They should give you a raise.
Big taco 👀
The lesson I took from this video is that there's a Babe sequel I missed as a child and a Fury Road sequel I missed as an adult, both of which I need to go watch. Like, now.
OMG, I literally just watched Mad Max: Fury Road because I love the cinematography and the color grading and the practical action effects. Never saw the first three films so I'm interested to see what you have to say about them.
I grew up on Mad Max. Always loved it, it felt my sorrow.
Where Cockney people were going with most things was usually jail. Or rather gaol.
I mean, 3D printed cheese would be a pretty great innovation by a nameless taco company
The fact that you tied the MST3K Beyond Thunderdome riff into the video reinforces why you're my favoritest bestest.
I'm peeing in a wine bottle as i watch the intro to this work of art, let's go 🎉
you know the song “piss bottle man” ?
You and John Frusciante.
I always thought Mad Max being nomadic was a metaphor for him running from the memories of his past.
Miller made me the person I am today. I joined Greenpeace and drive a supercharged V8 because of him.
God bless you George. ♥️
Before I watch I'm predicting the tacos were not consumed during the watching of the movies, but at the end, all at once. Possibly over the sink.
Ok so no, but he didn't explicitly state that he didn't eat them over the sink.
😂So relatable 😭
Glorious taco eating.... witnessed.
Now when people ask if I've seen Fury Road yet, I can say no but I have watched Babe
I've always been partial to the interpretation that the films are depictions of an oral mythology, making Max a culture hero that bounces from adventure to adventure like Maui or Hercules.
This smoothes over things like the economics of nomadic hot-rod leather daddies: it doesn't have to make sense, its a legend of the before times illustrating our values and imparting wisdom to our children.
Turbo Kid is a great indie movie that is very much in the spirit of the Mad Max movies. It is also a chef’s kiss to elder millennial nostalgia
As an Aussie I have to say that was a great run of Cheese & Cuties (movies)
Good use of that old MST3K gag
"That'll do pig" I said at the cops funeral.
Even more troubling in the post-apocalyptic world of The Road Warrior and beyond is the apparently limitless supply of welding consumables. MIG and TIG wire, welding rods, shield gas, electricity, acetylene and oxygen... there is no way those hot rods were stitched together with a battery and some coat hanger wire. Otherwise they'd explode into a shower of parts the first bump they hit. Then there's the fact that sunlight is murder for tire and belt rubber, and the dubious availability of coolant, transmission fluid and brake fluid, brake pads, lubricating oil... yeah.
“I ate a taco in his honor” should become a catchphrase of the channel
RIP the unattended grilled cheese sandwich and Leon's gastrointestinal tract.
Is there a sadder statement in this world than '0 Tacos Remain'?
-1 Tacos Remaining. Can you imagine that...
Full chaos configuration RC is here and I am LOVING it
This is the art i'm here for!
Thank you for the joy this brought me, I remember watching Thunder dome with my mom while growing up.
Best wishes to kind people❤
You deserve to be happy
I can't speak to the Aussie variety, but Cockney rhyming slang was a reaction to "poverty tourism" (I believe in the 17th century, but I haven't researched to that degree). The idle rich used to enjoy slumming it in the poor areas of the East End of London, looking down their noses at the uneducated working class and treating them as simpletons for not understanding the fancy erudite words they would use to ask for directions. In response, the Cockneys (working-class denizens of the East End - traditionally, anyone born within earshot of the bells of Bow Church) decided to make up their own lexicon of words and phrases which they understood but the rich tourists couldn't in order to make _them_ look stupid. The idea was to use common elements of working-class life which the toffs couldn't relate to, with the key to the cipher being that it rhymed with a more sensible statement in context, so that anyone with the relevant life experience would understand the joke and run with it.
So when a gentleman found himself turned around in the rabbit warren of tenements and warehouses and asked a passerby for directions back to "civilization" they might be told, *_"Yeah, just 'ead down the frog an' toad, round the jolly 'orner, past the rub-a-dub-dub an' up the apples an' pears, and Bob's yer uncle!"_* And when they tried to cover their ignorance and find someone else to give them directions, they would receive the _same directions as before_ because all the locals knew the cipher, and would look like fools for not being able to understand. It was a way of getting back at the landed gentry for treating their disadvantaged lives as some sort of sideshow, and proving that they were just as smart as the upper class even if they hadn't had the education to learn the expensive words.
But this isn't a political video, so I'll shut up... lol
If anyone's interested in a translation of the above...
Frog and Toad = Road
Round the Jolly Horner = Around the Corner
Rub-a-Dub-Dub = Public House (pub)
Apples and Pears = Stairs
Bob's yer Uncle... well, that's not rhyming slang...
“I reckon you got a bargain.”
Calling it Babe 1 Pig in the Country is hilarious and accurate
Makes me want to do a 12 taco movie binge challenge as well. I'm so glad you are making content that makes you happy Renegade Cut! 🙂
Fam, that sounds like an excellent weekend.
This era of RC is strange, and I like it.
I really enjoy your inflections and cadence in your narration. That might be the weirdest thing I ever typed on TH-cam.
Finally someone puts some respect on Babe's name
Someone else already said this is one of your best. Agree to the max.
i'm crazy about you, professor.
You could also eat burgers made with ingredients of dubious origin
You just made me the happiest man in the world.
Gulash made from cat food (had on one postapo LARP, thou not set in Mad Max world)
Fanstastic... I guess I should maybe watch Babe 1&2 for the first time.
I give this video 12 out of 12 tacos.
"All the Mad Max Movies?" the audience asked in awe,
"That´s right" said Leon "12 Tacos!"
I really fancy a taco now.
You made my day a lot better with this. Thank you.😊
Having grown up with a moderately healthy appreciation of the original trilogy, along with endlessly being teased about "sequels in development" for well over a decade, this was a nice refreshing overview of why I love the series. It's never been about Max, or the wasteland, or any of the superficial elements; to me it's just a wonderful excuse to indulge in mindless mayhem. When I watch a Mad Max film all I care about is explosions, fights involving cars, and a villain being delightfully over the top.
My experience of Fury Road was so pure I'm reluctant to watch it again, like ever. Some part of me wants it to percolate forever in my imagination as the one perfect example of the form.
You might tell me I'm idealizing it, but that's the point. It's probably not perfect. It probably could be better. I was probably just caught up in the moment and missed some of its glaring faults--plot holes, awkward CGI, etc. But I don't want to know that.
Love the title of this video, great work as always and I'm glad you're making videos!
I really love your stuff like this!
Also your other stuff...
Honestly i just think you make really great videos!
The taco-resource metaphor is brilliant, when you realize some people can do it, some cannot - but maybe can with the help with others, some people can't help trying to regulate the taco-eating schedule for others; and those who can sometimes can't, and some situation enable people to make wrong decisions for their future...
Because of this video now I want to and I’m almost certainly going to go buy 12 tacos from said taco place
"How can anyone be a loser with 12 tacos in their belly?"
Tell me your answer on the morning after.
I felt fine. Who are these people who can't digest garbage food? I'm an American, my stomach hasn't absorbed unprocessed food since the 80's.
Great video! I have enjoyed your more serious content in the past but this was a very nice change up.
I liked Leon's old work very much.
I'm deeply digging this era of Leon. I love this so much.
Art. Full stop. Thank you
Now that's a good video title to see from you after the past couple years, Leon. If I can call you that, I'm not that parasocial really. Anyways, keep these coming Mr. Cut! Good juxtaposition of script vs Miller's used blue van getting wrecked.
That is the perfect amount of words that any essayist ever dedicated to Fury Road
Babe was my favorite kids movie. I got into the Mad Max series years later and loved it. I had no idea the 2 were connected until again, years later
Achievement unlocked: Max Tacotanski! 🏆🥇🎖️
It seems you are happier than usual, it also makes me happy.
No one needs an ad to tell them to eat tacos. They are one of the worlds perfect foods.
2:15 I 100% agree with you there! I also love telling my brother I’m “skittling” when I eat skittles during our watchStuff Ritual. It’s just so much fun to say.
I too enjoy Mad Max, tacos, and words of praise from James Cromwell
I'm really enjoying these new videos.
Leon, this is genius. Hilarious and way more fact packed than I thought it'd be.
this chanell has gotten even better.
Sounds like you had fun. I also watched Furiosa, The Road Warrior, and Beyond Thunderdome this week. I also jumped back into my save file for the 2015 Mad Max videogame for a few minutes. It’s a great adaptation.
incredible title, and hitting play now
Every video more delightful than the last.
We're all winners in the game of tacos
Man knows how to have a good time
You get an easy like for the MST3K Beyond Thunderdome reference
My favourite _Mad Max_ head-canon is that the rest of the world is perfectly fine, and it's just Australia that's like this
PS there was a novelisation of the 1st mad Max movie, not sure if it's still in circulation. As an 18 year old Aussie it was a great read.
Even tacos cannot surpass this new direction in splendor and glory
You don't need another Taaaaaco, you don't need to know the way hoooome!
That's a voice I haven't heard in nearly a decade just before the Thunderdome segment
