7:03 I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED TO CORRECT THIS! There was no nuclear war between MM1 and 2. The war footage we see in the intro is a conventional war between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Persian Gulf before the events of Mad Max 1. That caused a global energy crisis that spiralled out of control. This backstory was written by Terry Hayes - one of the screenwriters for MM2 and it's in a production document called The Preamble (it's like 5 pages long). George Miller later clarified in an interview for Omni Screen Flights (1984) that he never intended for MM2 to be post-nuclear, because the movie would look completely different - totally barren landscape, no food no vegetation, fallout, people dying of diseases etc. So he dropped the nukes after MM2 and later movies look exactly like after the nukes dropped. But the first 2 films - they're pre-nuclear. I shall now return to my nerd cave, thank you.

Fun Fact: George Miller specifically wanted an Australian breed as the dog in this movie since he was a fan of the Lassie and Benji films as a child. You can see that he is a big animal lover with his later movies Babe and Happy Feet. When he sent his production assistants out to procure a dog, they eventually came across the Blue Heeler in the shelter. After adopting him, they brought him to the film set. This event was later referred to by Miller as a "Blue Harvest", which funnily enough was the working title for the Original Star Wars

Youve triggered my Long-Rant Trap Card. Fury Road's opening weekend was a PERFECT microcosm of how Woke Hollywood makes movies worse -- and how Non-Woke directors can actually create using feminist themes WITHOUT ruining their movies. Fury Road is a deeply "Feminist" movie, but it IS NOT a "Woke" movie. I remember going into the theater to watch Fury Road knowing that on opening weekend they had gotten trounced by "Pitch Perfect 2", which was in very the next theater over. "Pitch Perfect 2" is a "Woke" movie. It featured the song "Run The World" by Beyoncé, which is an incredibly popular, dumb, and extremely toxic song about how, supposedly, "girls run the world"... even though girls are CONSTANTLY complaining about definitively NOT running the world. I remember sitting there, watching this INCREDIBLE masterpiece of a movie all about women finding their power, doing incredible things, fighting a literal Patriarch, and thinking "THIS is what Feminism is about. This is what female empowerment looks like. This is the movies those teenage girls should be watching, not some spoiled millionaire musician bragging about how rich she is. Not some hateful song about how we're here to push men out of the picture."

Humongous actually seems honorable if anything, which would scan with Macaffee still trying to have some sense of law and justice in this broken world.

For example, when I come in here and say that after watching The Road Warrior maybe a hundred times over the decades it never seemed to me like Humongous rammed the tanker on purpose. After slowing or stopping to mitigate some damage he'd activated nitro on his car to try to catch up with the tanker and was traveling at some incredible speed, he did not know Max had made a 180 u-turn and was now coming toward him instead of away from him, he'd just come over a hill of sorts and maybe didn't see the tanker until it was almost in his face, thus he did not have the time to react.

First time I've ever heard Chadstone Shopping Centre mentioned in a KZread video. Always surreal to hear mention of things so close to home online! 😅

I was a kid when the Road Warrior came out in the US and it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. That was when the cable movie channels were coming out and the Road Warrior was always playing. So I probably saw this movie 50 times before the 80's ended. And no one knew about Mad Max 1. They added Mad Max 2 to the title later, I believe. Might not have been a really a big box office success, but this was a huge iconic movie and still is to us old folks.

'Mungus didn't deliberately kill himself, he had been incapacitated by Gyro Captain earlier in the chase. In the time it took him to recover and extinguish the fires, the truck had turned around and headed back towards him. Of course, he had no idea of this, and once mobile again he intended on catching up with the truck as soon as possible by hitting the nitrous, putting him at such an acceleration that he had no time to react to the truck bearing down on him over the crest of a hill (Kinda like Toecutter). Also, the original script didn't have this scene as originally it was Wez that killed him because he wasn't leading how Wez thought they should be led (In a call back to his rage earlier where Mungus had to choke him out), Wez steals the Feral Kid and hangs him off the front of his vehicle, and Max has to rescue him, eventually leading Wez into a telegraph pole.

You're not far off. The premise that George Miller has gone with *is* that Mad Max is a legendary figure, like King Arthur, Robin Hood or Paul Bunyan, who gets mixed into stories about events that probably happened in some way like how they're portrayed, but with a lot of extra bits added in as the stories get passed down orally from generation to generation. Did Max Rockatansky ever exist? Did he ever do half the things he's said to have done? Who knows? But the History Men say he does, and that we have him to thank for the way things are now, and that's just what we have to accept because we weren't there.

11'00 : No, it was never meant to be Goose (or Fifi, or whatever) when they wrote the character. Originaly there was 1 character that was split in 3 parts: Humungus, Wez and Toadie. The "Goose theory" is just a fan theory that spread on the internets and became like a "truth". But it's not.
