The Road Warrior was released in the U.S. in May 1982. A year before, Superman II was released in the U.S. in June 1981. Although in Australia, it was released in December 1980, just as Mad Max 2 was released in Australia in December 1981. At the time this six month delay was not unusual. It served several purposes. One reason though was simply that movies rolled out much slower back in the day. Up until the mid 70s films would often be released domestically in the U.S. by region rather than a single nationwide release. And while most international releases came after the domestic release, some U.S. studios liked to use Australia as a test screening as general audiences in both the U.S. and Australia were considered to have similar taste in film. So after receiving feedback from the Australian film release, the studio would then have five to six months to tweak and make adjustments to the film before the U.S. release. Of course another reason for the delay is that some films are considered to work better in certain times of the year. In the U.S. in the early 80s, drive in movies were still a considerable factor. Drive ins are a warm weather activity. Films such as The Road Warrior have a drive in movie flare. Also, in the summer, kids are out of school and can go to the mall. Buy a ticket to see E.T. but then sneak into The Road Warrior. The R rated thing was not strictly enforced back then either.

This movie entered my life when I was a teenager back about 1984. This and the prequel were on heavy rotation in our VCR and I often yearned for Goose's KZ1000 or a Ford Falcon with a super charger. I lived in an area of the U.S. that looked a lot like the landscape of Mad Max 2. I was just a kid but absolutely LOVED these movies.

When you mentioned a TV series, I thought of The Highwayman. I had to look it up since I didn't remember the name of the show, but I did remember the Aussie actor Jacko who also did Energizer battery commercials. Oi!

One of the best and iconic action movies of all time and one of my favorite movies overall. It's cinema in it's purest form that tells a simple but effective story with almost no dialogue only through pictures. Also you're spot on with the plot on Mad Max 1 & 2. It's the only two movies that really matter and that tell the complete story. All the other movies just explore the world a little bit more and tell further adventures of Max on his journey, but would by the end probably come to the same conclusion and ending. From a studio perspective I can see why they want to continue to make more movies in this setting, because it's an interesting and already established world that has fans that love the first two movies and that might want to linger a bit longer with Max and this world. Although fun movies, ultimately nothing that came out after Mad Max 2 was really needed or better. I can see that the first movie had low budget, but I didn't know that Miller wanted to make the first movie like the second one from the get go. I actually like that he made the movies this way, because one thing that I always liked about the first two movies is the progression into madness. Not only with Max, but society and the world in general. The first movie plays in a dystopian society that is crime ridden and seemingly on the brink to fall apart completley. It has this dark, eerie, paranoid almost horroresque atmosphere where you can sense that something terrible is going to happen. It is also pretty unique in this way and feels different than the other entrys in this franchise. In the second movie the world plays after a nuclear holocaust and society is completely at the bottom, it doesn't really get more worse than that. By the end of the movie Max regains his humanity, but it also seems that the world regains it's humanity and leaves hope to rebuild a better new world that learns from the mistakes of the old one.

Spence was such an underrated actor. He's an Australian icon. And yep mad max is very Australian in so many ways. It needed an Australian voice over always.

I really appreciate your videos, Minty. They are so informative, well researched and elaborate! I am deeply impressed!

Humongous also inspired a professional wrestler in the U.S. called Humongous. One of the versions later went on to be known as Sid Vicious/Sid Justice/Sycho Sid!

I remember when I first saw Mad Max 2 aka The Road Warrior and then saw the wrestling version also known in my area as Lord Humongous, It was supposed to be the same guy and young as I was I could not figure out how he was still alive and why he came to Southeast Championship Wrestling . Needless to say it scared the heck out of me, ah to be young again.

Thanks for the review, I first saw Mad Max 2 on HBO and I was blown away by it, no CG and all real stunts. Like the rest of you, I didn’t know it was sequel and thought it was a stand alone movie. Plus the name change didn’t help either, I saw Mad Max sometime later and Thunderdome in the theaters when it first came out. I love these movies as much as the first two Terminator movie and jump started the post-apocalyptic movie craze in the 80’s. I love that Max’s dog was a rescue dog, that’s cool.

Papagallo: "Oh, so that's it, you lost your family? That makes you something special, does it?" The movie characters spoke to all of us back then. We all lose family members throughout our lives. Death is all around us naturally. But what if death could be conquered? Some say science fiction is a prelude to the future. What if death and fossil fuels could be conquered in the future? What if guzzoline is made obsolete by a more plentiful energy source 20 or 30 years from now? We can't give up on humanity. "There is always a way", said Papagallo.

"Peak Oil" had been widely prophecised prior to the movie, even forshadowed by the Opec Oil crisis of '73, but it was never a real thing. Light sweet crude is something limited, but cracking tar into light oil (gasoline) has been possible since WW2, at which point they even worked out how to turn coal into gasoline, and we will never run out of that

I only knew of the “Road Warrior” when I saw it in the theater, then I saw Mad Max on VHS and it blew our American minds! Great stuff Minty, thank you!

I still think of the movie as "The Road Warrior", but the character was simply "Max". In truth I didn't know it was a sequel when I first saw it, I remember seeing Mad Max listed in print ads in our local newspaper but never connected the two movies till I found them side by side at a video rental store.

One of my favorite movies ever! Love the vehicles! Max's interceptor is one of the most iconic film cars ever. Even featured on the video game gta 5 arena wars.

" I only came for the toilet paper... I mean gasoline..."

The Road Warrior and Fury Road are my favorite in the franchise

I'm from the US and yeah we call him Road Warrior. I remember loving this movie and Thunder Dome as a teenager. We were surprised to learn that there was a previous film we knew nothing about.

ROAD WARRIOR is still 1 of my FAV" movies eeeeeeever to this day!!!!!

I met Virginia Hey a few years ago at a local comicon, have a picture with her and her autograph :)

Good choice Minty, bloody love this film! Still waiting for The 'Burbs lol

The best Aussie action film ever made IMO, as a fun aside, about 15 years ago I was cruising along a hwy in southern Victoria and was stuck behind a replica of Mad Max's Sandman panel van....complete with a torn off arm dangling from a chain attached to the back of the Sandman. It was awesome, the bloke got a thumbs up from me!

The start and end scenes are done at Mundi-Mundi lookout, Silverton, NSW. If you look in the distance, you can see the road corner. I the movie, your meant to believe its a long straight section of road. If you make the trip there, (don't bother to look for movies stuff at the site, its been cleaned), go and see the Mad Max museum. Cheers Mark for this info.

Love Mad Max! Mel Gibson deserved to be in Mad Max Fury Road, George Miller could do with a Ghost writer aswel like you said always felt the same since Mad Max 2🤣🇬🇧👍

I enjoy your videos, Minty! Always very educational, and entertaining.. I actually live in Broken Hill, where the movie was made.. so I actually knew a lot about the things you mentioned in this video.. MM2 is one of my all time favs!!

I was personally always fascinated with the Mack R Model truck in the movie. As a American I have always been fascinated in general with the Australian Road Trains. An Australian friend and I had a conversation about the scene where Mad Max goes back with fuel to get the truck back to the compound. The truck like many Australian trucks at that time featured a air starter. My argument was there would be no way that there would be any air left in the tanks to engage the air starter. He mentioned to me that Road Train drivers carry a air hose with them and will take air out of the tires to put back into the air tanks which of course deflates the tires. Once the truck is running they simply inflate the tires back up. As a diesel mechanic I found the list of things the mechanic in the movie said that was wrong was kinda funny. The Mack truck in the movie was a twin stick. We had twin stick Mack trucks in American as well but air starters were not very popular and only used for tanker applications mainly. The movie was made when I was a kid but when I became a truck mechanic I have drive twin stick Mack trucks. The "Earth" truck was my favorite vehicle in that movie.

The best MAD MAX sequel ever made!!! That is until, Mad Max: Fury Road was released 30 years after Beyond Thunderdome.

Bravo! You've answered a question I've been wondering about for about 40 years! " Why was Mad Max 2 renamed The Road Warrior and released BEFORE Mad Max in some places!!

It's not even wildly known here in the states that The Road Warrior is a Mad Max movie. If you factor in the limited original release and then few voice lines, it makes a lot of sense. However Max standing in the road at the end is the most Iconic action scene ending period.

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Thank you.

Mad Max 3: The Last Toilet Roll.

I think it's interesting how the Humungus character is always associated with Goose. Personally for a long time I thought Humungus was actually Max's Captain instead. Humungus has a huge focus on loyalty and Captain Macaffee has that breakdown in the first movie when Max says he's leaving. I just felt it made more sense. There's that powerful scene when you see the pristine weapon case Humungus has which is contrasted with how everything else around him has fallen into chaos, kinda like Macaffee was ranting about. An interesting villain either way.

Was watching it on VHS the other day. Love it.

Dear Mr Minty, I enjoy your channel very much, the content is always good. I would suggest you use a clip on mic perhaps when you are doing your studio shots and maybe tighten up your editing when you count down the topics. I had heard that a stunt man was killed during one of theses films and the scene was left in at the request of his parents, but it turned out to be an urban legend. The stuntman is alive and well to this day. Keep up the good work.

i never saw the character of max to be the same man... he is more of a folklore story to those he saves. and it happens that all these societies remember him just as max.

I don't remember how I found this channel, but after watching one of the videos, I remember saying to myself, "Please God, let his first name be Emil." Seriously, great channel. There are a lot of "10 thing you didn't know" type channels on YT, but this one actually lives up to the title.

Here's some interesting information: I noticed the tanker truck Max was driving has a symbol on the side of the tanker part, that says: '7 Sister's. I did some research, and discovered that it represents the 7 World oil Reserves. Also, one of the enemy cars has 2 metal nazi deaths heads on each side, beside both doors
