  • What is the best Australian movie ever made? Walkabout? Wake in Fright? The Piano? Picnic at Hanging Rock? The Babadook? All worthy contenders, no doubt, but they’re all wrong answers. The only acceptable response regarding the best movie from the Land Down Under is Mad Max, George Miller’s marauding motorist mania that celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2024. Never mind the billion-dollar franchise it spawned, the creative ingenuity and low-budget DIY filmmaking of the original remains one of the most impressive cinematic feats on record. A true independent movie with a rebellious spirit, Mad Max was made in just 12 weeks for a paltry $350,000 yet went on to gross $185 million worldwide. The film introduced the world to Mel Gibson, who would go on to play the badass road-racing Main Force Patrol officer Max Rocketansky twice more en route to becoming a bona fide Hollywood action star. Now, with the law-enforcing legacy continuing with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga in May 2024, it’s only right to peer through the rear-view mirror and find out What The F*ck Happened to the trailblazing O.G. After all, some of the crazy production details and insane behind-the-scenes stories defy belief

    When Max says to Fifi: "Look. Any longer out on that road and I'm one of them, you know? A terminal crazy... only I got a bronze badge to say I'm one of the good guys." that some powerful foreshadowing, because by the end of the movie, Max really does end on the wrong side of the law. He spent his whole career in the MFP trying to keep roads safe from savages & lowlifes just so he would become one of them. Truly powerful stuff.

    This Film is a classic of Australian Cinema and one of my all time favorite films

As a friend pointed out to me when I finally saw it in college, the budget was too low for it to really be the movie the trailer implied. But the story was so good that I didn't mind.

The overblown post war atmosphere was vool but never as intimitading as in the first movie. That barely functioning society felt like a candle next to some highly flamable material.

    The misconception that most people had about Mel Gibson following his starring turn here, was that he was an Aussie. When actually he is An American from Peekskill New York who was moved to Australia in an early age ( but adopted an Australian Accent, due to kids making fun of his American Accent). Gibson still remains the Definitive Mad Max, which was his breakout role.

So how could Max have been a cop before? He'd have to be over 70 for that to fit somehow. Max doesn't fit in at all in this version. I had the feeling the whole time anyway that Miller only included Max in the movie because of the name. He certainly wasn't important here.
