But unlike first blood i can appreciate the depature of the mad max movies. Road warrior had this undertone of desperate scarcity that i really enjoyed ( think of Max's shotgun shells, scarce and failing) that also built upon the Original like Terminator 2 did. First blood 2 was correcting the crime of critizing the US Military by taking the conspiracy of missing Vietnam POW and turning it into Death Wish movie.

Unironically, Babe may be Miller's best film. If you can watch that movie and not cheer for Babe while letting the tears of complete and unadulterated joy flow, then you're a monster. James Cromwell saying, "that'll do pig" is iconic. I still use that phrase today to express admiration.

I think the idea behind the “biker gangs in a fuel-scarcity apocalypse” thing is that fuel shortages led to fuel hoarding which led to having vast fuel reserves to power your extravagant cars being a cultural signifier and we can see by Fury Road cars have basically become a religion to some people. Plus Max likes cars and the movies follow him primarily, we can see from the holedwellers and wordburgers from Furiosa that there are plenty of wastelanders leading non car related lifestyles, so for all we know the road warriors could be a very small percentage of the population that Max disproportionally deals with.

I've always been partial to the interpretation that the films are depictions of an oral mythology, making Max a culture hero that bounces from adventure to adventure like Maui or Hercules. This smoothes over things like the economics of nomadic hot-rod leather daddies: it doesn't have to make sense, its a legend of the before times illustrating our values and imparting wisdom to our children.
@DergonQuert

That's not really an interpretation, that's from George Miller himself. He "sees Mad Max as a series of legends about the titular character." That's why so many of the films have narrators. I really appreciated the details of the historians in Furiosa.

"The Ayatollah of Rocknrolla!" "Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror." "Who run Bartertown?" "Two men enter, one man leaves!" "Bust a deal! Face the wheel!" "Witness me!"

Controversial Headcannon: With each Mad Max movie getting further and further away from the end of the world with no visible aging from Max, I convinced myself that Max isn't a man but a Ghost Rider esque Spirit of Vengeance and High Octane that possesses people and forces them to walk with a limp and be a reluctant hero. Edit: I came to this conclusion while playing the 2015 Mad Max game.

I can't speak to the Aussie variety, but Cockney rhyming slang was a reaction to "poverty tourism" (I believe in the 17th century, but I haven't researched to that degree). The idle rich used to enjoy slumming it in the poor areas of the East End of London, looking down their noses at the uneducated working class and treating them as simpletons for not understanding the fancy erudite words they would use to ask for directions. In response, the Cockneys (working-class denizens of the East End - traditionally, anyone born within earshot of the bells of Bow Church) decided to make up their own lexicon of words and phrases which they understood but the rich tourists couldn't in order to make _them_ look stupid. The idea was to use common elements of working-class life which the toffs couldn't relate to, with the key to the cipher being that it rhymed with a more sensible statement in context, so that anyone with the relevant life experience would understand the joke and run with it. So when a gentleman found himself turned around in the rabbit warren of tenements and warehouses and asked a passerby for directions back to "civilization" they might be told, *_"Yeah, just 'ead down the frog an' toad, round the jolly 'orner, past the rub-a-dub-dub an' up the apples an' pears, and Bob's yer uncle!"_* And when they tried to cover their ignorance and find someone else to give them directions, they would receive the _same directions as before_ because all the locals knew the cipher, and would look like fools for not being able to understand. It was a way of getting back at the landed gentry for treating their disadvantaged lives as some sort of sideshow, and proving that they were just as smart as the upper class even if they hadn't had the education to learn the expensive words. But this isn't a political video, so I'll shut up... lol

Even more troubling in the post-apocalyptic world of The Road Warrior and beyond is the apparently limitless supply of welding consumables. MIG and TIG wire, welding rods, shield gas, electricity, acetylene and oxygen... there is no way those hot rods were stitched together with a battery and some coat hanger wire. Otherwise they'd explode into a shower of parts the first bump they hit. Then there's the fact that sunlight is murder for tire and belt rubber, and the dubious availability of coolant, transmission fluid and brake fluid, brake pads, lubricating oil... yeah.

Having grown up with a moderately healthy appreciation of the original trilogy, along with endlessly being teased about "sequels in development" for well over a decade, this was a nice refreshing overview of why I love the series. It's never been about Max, or the wasteland, or any of the superficial elements; to me it's just a wonderful excuse to indulge in mindless mayhem. When I watch a Mad Max film all I care about is explosions, fights involving cars, and a villain being delightfully over the top.

That made a huge impression on me at the time - it seemed inconceivable that such a country could hold together for long.
