- When younger movie fans think about Mad Max, they think of 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road, starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. But the post-apocalyptic action film series began way back in 1979, when it was just a small independent movie starring Mel Gibson.
At the time Gibson was not the star he eventually became, but the unprecedented success of the movie was his career breakthrough, also making Mad Max into a beloved film and media franchise.
In honor of this epic action movie franchise that just keeps getting better with time, here is the untold truth of Mad Max.

Which Mad Max movie is the best?
Fury road, definitely
All of them
The Road Warrior is the best Mad Max Sequel 💯
That’s easy... the 2nd one. The Road Warrior. The first one was a B movie. The Thunder Dome was basically the same movie as the second movie. And Fury Road was way too Hollywood, cheesy and generally something a teenager would like.
Imma lil ticked off at you Looper... why didn't you release this _during_ the lock down??? You have us wanting to see _every_ 'Mad Max' from the 1st on up! 🤗🇨🇦
The Orignal Mad Max is a Cult Classic movie
I would just like to make everyone aware. Cundalini never got his hand back.
😆 I'm dying. Well that's what happens whey you use a grapple chain that's looped around your wrist.
Yes it affected him greatly; he would visibly shake when asked if 'he needed a hand' when struggling with certain chores
Mad Max - Classic
Mad Max 2 - Classic
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome - Great
Max Max: Fury Road - Great
It's all classic, brother.
@@AbortedEvolution The first 2 were classics.
The fact that they had to dub over a movie made in an English speaking nation with American accents before it could be released in the US really is absurd
I have got a copy of the dubbed USA version of Mad Max. Just to hear how bad it is. It's crap. But funny in a way. The only voice that is not dubbed over is the singer in movie Robina Chafey that sing Motorcycle Rider when Goose is in audience.
Imagine hearing this one way as a kid then the american dub years later on cable. I was like tf is going on with those voices? 😆 talk about absurd.
I like the Dubbed version way better. The Aussi Accents are just horrible.
@@rob281979 U are dillusional if u think that.
@@rhettcorbett3346 Opinions Vary lol
I had no idea Immorten Joe was Toecutter!
Awwww C'mon.
@@rhettcorbett3346 I'm a stupid dumbass, what can i say!
@@ketcherinthery5079 Nah. He was pretty well camouflaged in movie. But his name in the credits was a hint.
@@rhettcorbett3346 It says in the credits "Hugh Keays-Byrne as Immortan Joe" How is that a hint?
@@ketcherinthery5079 Because if u knew Hugh Keays-Byrne was The Toecutter in Mad Max. U would have seen his name mentioned & in the credits. And thought that has to be Hugh/The Toecutter.
No idea why America wanted American voice-dubbing on Aussie movies, but when we get American movies we don't do voice-dub to make it more Australian.
I have an American fiancé and we grew up with the same kind of movies and shows and we were both shocked that a lot of shows/movies had dubbed American accents that were originally Australian and even British
All the exteriors were filmed between the south-western outskirts of Melbourne and the NE-Western outskirts of Geelong (where I live), 75km to the SW of Melb.
Byron's and Miller's first short feature was called Violence in the CINEMA, not Violence in the Camera. Also the story of Mel Gibson being beat up is bullshit. This was confirmed by his then friend Steve Bisley who played Jim Goose in Mad Max. Mad Max's casting agent saw both Bisley and Gibson perform at NIDA and offered them the role. But only after they graduated because they weren't allowed to perform in anything while they were studying. After they graduated a few months later they got the role for their characters because of the chemistry they had. There was no "Mel Gibson beat up by half a rugby team and just showing up for an audition because they were looking for freaks", it's bullshit that Mel keeps repeating.
Fun fact - the NIDA 1977 graduating play was Romeo and Juliet, with Mel Gibson as Romeo and Judy Davis as Juliet. Two years later they both became stars - Mel in Mad Max and Judy in My Brilliant Career. While a lot of films were made in Australia that year, those were the only two big hits. It's hard to imagine two more different films - grindhouse vs arthouse.
Good stuff! 👍👍
A good movie in my opinion is it’s “long game” appeal. More people know “mad max” than any movie at the oscars
I love the original Mad Max flick's.
To bad they don't make them like that anymore.
@@carlbennett4827 newer one was great.
Great vid
People will hate me for that but the last MM movie with Tom Hardy is my least favorite. I adore the original trilogy and the 4th film was good too. Amazing franchise
@irina1296 I agree.
Na your on point. Mel Gibson and others made it what it was. The gyro captain I forget his name but he is a extra in a ton of big movies. Matrix three, revenge of the sith. Tom Hardy did a great job and is an excellent actor but my faves are the three first ones.
@@nomadjensen8276 Bruce Spence was the Gyro Captain in MM2 and MM3
@@pauls478 And was in the Aussie Cult classic Midnite Spares.
Fact check, all the bikes in Mad Max are Kawasaki's, for memory they were donated to the Production by Kawasaki.
More MadMax movies please.
Back in the day I thought "The Road Warrior " was so cool .And still as movie to watch in all .But Mad Max is awesome to watch since was the movie from down under that started it all .And back in the eighties. it was first "The Road Warrior " and the "Mad Max " .But Mad Max is one sweet movie to watch .
I guess I saw it years later. I didn't know it was made in 79. Wow. I was familiar with Beyond the Thunderdome not the rest. The last new Max I never got to see sadly. Never saw Fury Road, etc.
Thanks to his older sister who went behind his back and sent an application so that he can audition for the role and the rest is history. In a way his older sister played an integral part with Gibson being successful.
Ironically, the world of Mad Max up to the point where he goes mad is more civilized than places like Oakland CA at this very moment.
Actually, Mel Gibson would *love* a review comparing Mad Max to _Mein Kampf._
Most all knew , since Max fan
Oddly I saw and max when it came out on Military base. Most I met back in States no one ever saw or heard about it. Why when released Max 2, is why it was called Road Warrior, not Mad Max 2. Oddly I saw early Gibson Ozzie movies..and hell you needed subtitles
Here’s another fact the anime Fist of the North Star is heavily based on the Mad Max series the protagonist Kenshiro’s appearance and clothing is similar to Max Rockatansky
Why wasn’t “Beyond the Thunderdome “ mentioned?
Because it's crap.
What about Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? How come that wasn't mentioned?
Because most of it is crap? I actually liked it but Tina Turner is terrible.
@@williamolson5728 I don't remember how acting skills, it's been a very long time since I last watched it. The movie was under the same director, so wasn't sure why it wasn't included.
Road warrior
Fury Road
Beyond Thunderdome
Mad Max
6:57 when do we go fara RAD?!
I live about 5 mins away from where they shot the majority of the movie , it's far removed from the what could be considered " rural suburbia "
Say that Again? BEST action film of all time!!
Talk like an Arse! One two or 3 wipe the floor with Fury Road.
:-)
Road warrior but the whole Lot is great
Howzit naaier.
Also the film was not banned in Sweden.
imo road warrior had the best villains, however fury road too had some interesting characters. Its mostly acton based, and action movies arent as popular anymore, however the costumes and concept art is a thing of its own, Madmax should definitely be a huge part of dystopian fiction on the dieselpunk genre and with a slight shift from the sci fi side of dieselpunk dystopian genre.
One problem with Madmax was that it didnt have unique places, Barter Town was good, but it lacked places, i think this is a very unexplored genre as a whole, post apocalyptic dystopian, and definitely not that mainstream at least not in my opinion, it lacks some details every now and then,
I REALLY WISH GEORGE MILLER COULD DRAW, MADMAX WOULD HAVE BEEN FUCKING AMAZING IF IT WAS A COMIC, AS A COMIC SERIES IT WOULD HAVE SO MANY MORE THINGS AND A BIGGER AND A WIDER WORLD TO EXPLORE, the problem though would be that characters in the comics would be a bit away from how they would look in the movies, which is a bummer to me when it comes to comics sometimes, BUT THEY NEEDED TO STILL EXPLORE THIS SIDE ! MADMAX FOR COMICS !
It’s 2021 soon... mad max took place in 2021. Spooky!
They did this video of mad max drop on Netflix
The series is definitely one of my favourites, rating 2, 3, 1, 4 from best to worst imo. That doesn't mean I don't like 4, but it lacks MG and a lot of the subtle dark humour in the previous films.
Fury Road is overpromoted crap. Not even the CGIs and VFX are appropriate for budget and year of production.
I always wanted to be in the biker gang for some strange reason 😎😎😎😎😎
1- Mad Max.
2- Mad Max 2
Is There anymore ?
A question. I know the answer. What is the Nightriders/Vince Gills real name in movie ?
Crawford something
Crawford Montizano.
Think of him when you look up at the night sky
How crazy that the starring lady didn't make it bc of a motorcycle accident.
I always wished that Mel Gibson or some young entrepreneurs would make a modern version of Mad Max in the vein of 1 or 2.
Independent, raw, real stunts, car culture, dystopian. Perhaps a post-COVID19 world. It would be a smash hit and guys would be running to the movie theatres.
Fury Road was overproduced, comic-book, politically-correct trash. Fast and Furious started off good but went down hill fast.
Mate I’ve got an entire series of movie plots all written out. And a mad max type dystopian future is actually several of them. Hopefully either my CZcams channel takes off once I become serious about it or I publish the first one as a book. If I had the money I could certainly pull it off😂 might be a few years away
@@LCaddyStudios Awesome! Crowdfunding might be the solution. You could make a storyboard and put it on your channel, So many of us car guys are dying for this type of movie, even if it was low budget.
scanspeak00 haha I agree, I’d flog them off to any production studio but I like the idea of creative control better than having something made how someone else likes it. I’ll get something worked on by the end of the year tho hopefully
@@LCaddyStudios Good. Hurry.
...Tick tock.
@@dogboymalone11 working on it, just need to wait until lockdowns finished
What a huge mistake to dub this in “American”. It just cheapened the whole thing. I remember when a restored cut was finally available on DVD, like in the 90s! S frustrating.
Not better than Stephen King's books, but far better than most of King's movies.
THE ROAD WARRIOR
I'm the one that made a renack meet of me
"Violence in the camera part 1"????
Yea and I'm no actor
Mad Max is better than any of the fast and furious movies. YES. I said it.
Bloody friggen oath it is. FAF are dribble.
All this research and you can’t even get this guy to pronounce Melbourne properly
Fourth
Mad Max is better than anything Stephen King ever did...
first comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fury Road
Every body is still saying am the first
Okay let me be honest am the last it that ok😁
😀
📞
English translation please.
Goes from 70's gas shortages to Mel Gibson future big star with absolutely Zero connection. Lame
What the bloody hell is that extremely annoying background sounds that made trying to follow what the narrator was trying to say!! Pity might have interesting to to hear the actual story if not for the distracting background sound. EPIC FAIL 😡😡
Mad Max with Tom Hardy is the worst movie I've ever saw.
Nah. Fury Road was incredible. Just because it was a different actor doesn't make it bad and that has to be what makes you say that because it was definitely awesome.
@@Andrew-zq3ip There's no script at all, just explosions the entire movie, there's little connection with reality, there's no suspense, no characters to care, just a long and bore scene.
Definitely! I thought that Tom Hardy's Max had no charisma. Fury Road's Max was pathetic and lame. In my opinion, Mad Max: Fury Road is depressing.
year 2010 with all those bad ass vehicles latest cgi technology and actors fury road should hav been the best mad max movie of all time but it wasnt. its not a bad movie just should hav been better than the rest for today standard its probably the 4th best out of all three. no Mel Gibson blowing up the v8 falcon in minutes was a bummer those war boys suck
