The Humungus didn't intentionally smash into the tanker. He gets hit with a molotov during the chase and then pulls over for a short time. Further down the road, Max unexpectedly turns around. The Humungus then takes off in the direction he still thinks Max is going, hits the nitro to catch up, and comes up over the hill going way too fast to maneuver or stop when he sees the tanker.

Between this and Fury Road, these movies could be seen as folk tales told by future generations about the mythical and mysterious Max, a wandering hero who saves the day, but always leaves by stories end. Who knows if Max was only one person or many, or if he even existed at all. So many years have passed that lore has become legend and the story of the real man is forgotten. But his legacy lives on in these epic sagas.

Humongous didn't intend to crash head-on into the truck. He engaged his nitrous in order to catch up to the truck after falling behind. He didn't know that Max had turned the truck around and was heading back towards him. As the truck came into view, Humongous was going too fast to steer away from it (and would've likely fatally crashed anyways). An inglorious end for him and his main henchman. Good luck for Max (and the Feral Kid).

With Fury Road you can argue that even the name Max isnt specific to one person. Its the moniker that the survivors of the apocalypse "a pocky clips" tell of a lone wander from the wastes that does what is right and just in spite of the chaos and madness. Max, The Road Warrior, is a legend, a myth, a folk tale told by those that have found a way to survive the hellscape the world has become.

I'm pretty sure this was done on purpose. The Mad Max movies are meant to be a series of legends told throughout the wasteland that kind of contradict each other. One group of people say " The Captain flew a gyrocopter and he was Max's partner" and another group says "well I heard that the Captain actually flew a plane, he was never really friends with Max and he even robbed him once". In Fury Road, one of the skulls on Nux's car is the Gyro Captain's skull (same pilot's hat) implying that he's dead. But also in Fury Road you see Max lose one of his boots, which explains why Max wears mismatched boots "later on" in Thunderdome. But how can that be true if the Gyro Captain is dead in Fury Road? It's all mixed up, but it's been mixed up on purpose.

You can debate if that's the still the case with Thunderdome, but at any rate the whole "it's a series of folk tales" angle didn't become a thing until Miller completely obliterated the perceived timeline with Fury Road. Which I suppose was necessary given how much Mel Gibson had aged before the fourth film entered production (and how much Gibson's price tag had gone up), and in fairness I much prefer "folk tales" over the standard Hollywood reboot treatment.

Max did have a car at the end. Look closely as they drive off with Max standing in the middle of the road. They left him next to the twin engine vehicle their former leader took from the enemy when they drove it into their compound. That leader got speared by Humongous, as you recall. Also, the leader said they had won because the main group had escaped with the fuel in the opposite direction. This is also why the decoy group turned the tanker truck around late in the chase. They had intended to meet up again with the main group if they survived.

The best of the OG trilogy for me, though I adore the storytelling in Beyond Thunderdome. George Miller really honed his craft between movies - the stunt sequences are A+, shot from within and above the action, the worldbuilding is fantastic, and the upgrade to Max and the Interceptor are pure badass. It is very sad to me that Mac loses the Interceptor, the last piece of his old life, and Dog, but I love the reveal at the end that Feral Kid has become the chieftan of the tribe and carries on Max's legend. That Max and his adventures are more myth than fact really makes the wild action and big performances feel like someome telling a story.

The beauty of the construction of this series is that once Max is unmoored from family and job, he can't stay anywhere.

Family bonding. Now "Mad Max" was on US cable channels, yet it was dubbed in American Accents,...Australian accents weren't yet acceptable. (When MM came out on DVD there was finally the Aussie dialogue to hear) Found a number of Australian films on cable (Gallipoli, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Year of Living Dangerously) My Parents went to Australia in 1984 for a medical convention,...it was their 20th Wedding Anniversary. excuse to go around the world. I joined my parents in 1986, a bigger tour around Oz -and before "Crocodile Dundee" came to America, and made Australia "fun" - Traveling for 2.5 weeks around Oz, when I was 17 years, was really grand! Dad and I went to "MM beyond Tunderdome", and felt let down. When "Fury Road" was released in 2015, the day before I was to have surgery, bone joint, I got my Dad to join at a 3-d Imax -a wild ride to view. My Dad missed the Gyro Captain, and that the end chase in "Road Warrior" is only like 14 minutes -he thought "Fury Road" was too much. Oh, the man who flipped over, in camera, that you praised his skill as a stuntman -he ended badly hurt, stunt gone wrong, yet, on camera. The Director, George Miller, was also a Doctor, before turning to film making. For an ambulance to get from the near town to the location, the Director used his medical skills to save that stuntman, yet kept it in the movie, for the image. The Gyro Captain, Bruce Spence, from New Zealand, has been acting since the 70's. A very tall fellow. If you view other media, he will be found even in LotR-3, and SW3-RotS, and plenty of "down under entertainment"

The extended intro was at the insistence of US film producers. The first Mad Max had been a huge hit by Australian standards, but in the very earliest days of video tapes very few people in the US had seen it. That's also why the US title of the sequel was just "The Road Warrior", with no mention of Mad Max in the title. Not only my favorite among the Mad Max series, this is one of my favorite movies period. Every post-apocalyptic film made since this has been both heavily influenced by Mad Max 2 and weighed against it for merit. There is a *huge* rabbit hole you can dive down centered on the lore of the Mad Max universe and deep analysis of this specific movie, if you ever have a week or two to kill. PS It's probably been mentioned already in another comment, but the dog playing Dog here was a rescue from a local animal shelter. No prior training at all, they just went with him because he looked the part, was friendly, and wasn't bothered by the special effects & loud noises on the set. After filming wrapped he bounced around a little with various crew members until he eventually wound up living out a life of luxury with a member of the film crew.

The Mad Max stories are increasingly told from the perspective of people in the far future who may or may not have crossed paths with him - In the first film and most of the 2nd , he's an angry avenging character, totally empty, and out for himself, by the end of mm2, hes found a spark of humanity, and saves the kid, and helps get him and the rest out of the wasteland to a better life and to start to rebuild some sort of civilisation, which would obviously need its own history and creation stories, by the end of mm2 and the Feral kids old age hes looked on as a myth - a legend of the wasteland. All the films including Fury Road have a deliberately vague, and disjointed connection, as they are essentially campfire tales, passed from generation to generation, with completely different groups of people, perhaps embellished about this shadowy messianic character who came from nowhere, saved people and then dissapeared back into the wasteland. This really comes out in the 3rd one Beyond Thunderdome. There is a theory that "Mad Max" in Fury Road isnt actually Max, but the Feral Kid who was just trying to be like Max.. 🖤 Fantastically influential movies with a totally unique vibe.

George Miller originally never even wanted to make a sequel to the first "Mad Max" (he says as much in a 1979 interview) - but it was so successful, they were pressured into making a second film. Thankfully they did, as "The Road Warrior" is incredible. But that was REALLY going to be it - just those two films. "Thunderdome" wasn't originally a Max film. Miller was working on a film about lost children, sort of a Peter Pan idea, but he couldn't figure out how to do it - and one day, they basically decided that Max could somehow fit into that story, which is why "Thunderdome" feels a bit bipolar, between its first and second half (and feels more "Hollywood", as Gibson was a huge star at that point). Miller also lost his longtime partner during the shooting, etc. It's great, but it's sort of its own thing, as was "Fury Road". Essentially, ever since "The Road Warrior" (known as "Mad Max 2" in the rest of the world), each Max film has been a standalone story, only barely tied to the others. The first two films, as Miller has said, are the real story of Max. The others are great, of course, but not direct sequels. They're meant to be "legend stories", basically stories that people told about him in that world, etc. "The Road Warrior" started that "story" tradition, but with the story actually being "true" in that film. "Thunderdome" and "Fury Road" are basically "campfire stories" of Max.

Yeah. THIS was the template for all following Mad Max films. As for Humongous, he was trying to catch up when he hit that NOS. He had no idea Max had turned around until the truck appeared over that ridge.

I grew up in the 80s and pets, while considered part of the family, weren't on the level that alot of people place them nowadays. Definitely not on the level with humans or even close. The 80s were closer to the Old Yeller days than now in that respect. Loved the reaction!

I strongly recommend the novelization of the first movie in the series. It adds a lot to the lore and gives the side characters more personality. George Miller was actually very impressed by it. It’s out of print though, I listened to an unofficial audiobook on KZitem to get the story. The Toecutter and his gang are more terrifying than before and Max does more action in the climax

After the first film... all the later stories aren't Max's story anymore... they're fabeled retellings of encounters with the mythical being called "Max" often told in past tense like a legendary story from someone just telling of this encounter. Did Max actually DO all these things? Are they embellished tales which elevate Max into this "Hero"-character? Are they even stories about the same guy?? In the end, we really don't know... often it's just stories of people in a desperate plight and this mysterious figure rolls in, driving this amazing V8 powered vehicle from a time long past... and he fights the good fight... and then just as mysteriously, he disappears back into the wasteland/the roads from which he appeared.

The idea that George Miller and Byron Kennedy had after the first Mad Max, is that any future films would be like stories people tell of an unknown lone wanderer called Max. A figure who would come out of the wasteland and aid people, and then move on, to disappear back into the wasteland. The video game series Fallout, is heavily inspired by this specific Mad Max film. Not many post apocalyptic films exist and certainly none as well known or influential as Mad Max, especially the Road Warrior. It would be nice if more Directors and Writers did their own take on this genre.

It think they just said that to retcon the reboot and Tom Hardy into the original trilogy. Like George Lucas "always" wanted to make 3, 6, 9 or 12 episodes of SW and that it was the Story of Anakin Skywalker depending on when he was asked, when not even he knew in Ep4 that Darth Vader was Anakin and Lukes father, wich wasnt even his idea.

@@wolf310ii I think they said that to cover for any possible errors they might make in a future film, when it came to the backstory of Max. I'm not super old, but around the time of Babe Pig in the City, George talked about the two films after Mad Max were not necessarily the same character Max, since the auto gyro pilot is in Beyond Thunder-dome, but isn't the same character from Road Warrior.

"Is that a boomerang?" It`s almost as if it`s an Aussie film franchise or something, huh?To be fair, early DVDs of the first film were poorly dubbed in US English until 2002 which George Miller said wasn`t the best decision he ever made as a filmmaker.

Make sure you watch the third one. Watch it with an open mind, and ignore any negativity you see about it, it is truly unique. Nothing's been made quite like it, before or since. I love the entire quadrilogy, but the third one is my favourite. Then of course, the fourth one is one of the greatest pure action movies ever made....

This is far better than Fury Road. I was following the pre-production history of Fury Road since 2001, and for the 14 years it took to make the movie, all we got was a rehash of The Road Warrior’s climactic chase scene for an entire movie with little dramatic story or reason for the chase. Fury Road, as fun as it is, is just another “rollercoaster ride” film that shows how little people today understand about character motivations intersecting to cause conflict. Take a look at “Die Hard”: the escalation of conflict, the political and social alignments of characters, the clever twists, all of it stems from the outcomes from the previous scenes, which those stem from previous outcomes and character motivations, etc. The Road Warrior gets this right, while Fury Road haphazardly seems to be cruising the desert looking for a reason for the chase to happen.

@@wolf310ii it’s like George Miller started with “Mad Max”(1979), trying to make a “Faces of Death” scared straight movie about vehicular accidents, turned it halfway into a moral decay story, found the right note, and peaked at “Mad Max 2/Road Warrior”. Then, like George Lucas with Indiana Jones, he got confused about what made the second film so good, and figured “people want car chases on weird, fabricated cars and lots of stunts”, not “they want Max as the post-apocalyptic ‘man with no name’.” That’d what the best elements of Mad Max are: Max is a western drifter who resists getting close to people, but through circumstances and his nagging remnants of a conscience that make him different from all the renegade cops or nutcases in cars, he steps up at the last minute and defies all the odds as an action hero to save the day. “Fury Road” does exactly what Kathleen Kennedy has done with Star Wars and Indiana Jones: humiliate the main protagonist, introduce a woman protagonist, and make her gay.
