No idea what are you talking about Nightrider They only used stuff developed by ford which suckedĪNTP, are you remember 18-19 minutes of movie? The load thats on the mack r-series trailr is made by catterpiller Kenworth - one,which smashing the Toecutter Max chases the bikers up narrow road, but is slowed down while trying to go around a Mack R Transtar tows tanker, from which bikers steal gasoline. There were so many trucks? There was a Mack R-Series un MadMax 2 but I do not remember that these trucks were in the first one.Īnyway, I'll rewatch the movie soon to add missing vehicles (including bikes and correct picture for the Falcon XA) all deserves 3 stars.Īlso featured Buick Riviera,International Transtar,Mack R-series,and unknown Kenworth as 1-2 stars vehicles. I think,list would contain Goose's Kawasaki Z1000 (Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti uses same model). The film introduces us to a world of deranged bikers, wild cops and oblivious bystanders but the world building doesn’t reach its heights until its superior sequel.See all comments about this movie and its vehicles Author Films such as Kill Bill, Death Proof and Drive are clearly influenced by this film and are ultimately superior. The film is ultimately a standard cop versus gang drama. It doesn’t reach the highs of a dystopian classic such as A Clockwork Orange even though the gangs appear as though they walked straight off of Kubrick’s set. His film is an iconic classic however it isn’t perfect. Miller’s direction is fantastic with breathtaking car chases throughout. Hugh Keays-Byrne’s Toecutter is a deranged psycho the perfect flipside of Max’s hero. Gibson is fantastic as the hero showing both a soft side with his family and a dangerous side on the streets pursuing his prey. However this film takes place in Australia and the lone gunslinger is replaced with a cop who loves his car. It is a classic western in that way with the townspeople being terrorized by a gang and a lone gunslinger coming to their aid. Most of the film revolves around Toecutter’s gang terrorizing the town. Most of the police drive souped up cars to pursue criminals. This film is centered mostly in the real 70s Australia despite the police wearing casual biker outfits. It is not until the sequel that Max wonders a barren sand filled landscape. These scenes show a suburb not too far away from 70s Australia and most of this first film take place in a pretty standard Australian suburban setting. He juxtaposes the early scenes of Max’s heroics with Max at home with his family in a peaceful environment enjoying time with his wife and baby son. Introducing the lone heroic cop who can take down any gang. Miller is more interested in world building. Re-watching the film today it is not the case.
I remember seeing this film as a child and (spoiler alert) I remembered his family dying a lot sooner and Gibson going on a bloody revenge fueled killing spree. The film doesn’t even turn into a revenge thriller until the final fifteen minutes. Toecutter’s gang are terrorizing the simple suburbs of this unnamed town in Australia. The plot is a simple cat and mouse chase between Max and Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne). The style is undeniably its own and Miller shows a maturity as a filmmaker from this original film in the Mad Max franchise. Everyone talks fast, and the camera cuts and pans at a break neck speed. It also has this hyperactive style that would be replicated into later Australian films such as Strictly Ballroom and Chopper. The film is quintessentially Australian with its shots of people commuting in local pubs and speaking in Australian slang.

Welcome to George Miller’s vision of a dystopian Australian future, with endless roads and insane drivers who battle their war in their cars. We are automatically transported into this insane world where cops are wearing leather jackets and are speeding around in souped up cars racing with crazy deranged gang members who are screaming insane monologues as their women look on with equally deranged affection. He is the classic Western loner in the style of Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name Trilogy. We don’t see him directly in the opening scene however director George Miller builds him up by showing us only close-ups of his shades as he sits in his car waiting for trouble to come to him. Synopsis: In the near future an Australian policeman pursues a gang terrorizing the streets.įrom the opening shots of Mel Gibson we only get hints of how much of a bad-ass this character is. Starring: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Tim Burns, Roger Ward I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller!
