I Watched Every Mad Max Movie and Ate 12 Tacos | Renegade Cut 

the original mad max is much like first blood in the way thats its nothing like what people think mad max or rambo films are like

Digging Leon's "Not giving a fuck" arc.

That is the least words any video essayist has ever dedicated to Fury Road

A few weeks ago I watched a reaction video of an Australian watching Mad Max for the first time. She went in blind and never realized that it was set in the near future at the start of civilizational collapse until it was over and she started reading the DVD box.

This channel is the Gremlins 2 of RU-vid. The director has full control and the audience is in for a ride. You get Brainy Gremlin, Goofball Gremlin, Batman symbols, Count Dooku waiting for his rabies, Slayer soundtrack, Phoebe Cates recounting the worst Lincoln's Birthday ever.

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.

Tacos AND George Miller? Oh what a day. What a lovely day.

Also, as a quick aside, I always enjoyed your political content, but I have sincerely loved your return to film and media analysis with your newfound zeal and zaniness. The slight political tilt works well, too. It all works. You’re great, this video is great, and this whole channel is great. Keep doing whatever you want to do. I always know it’s going to be worthwhile.

"Except astronauts..." I lost it there

Fun fact: when Demolition Man came out, we didn’t have a Taco Bell anywhere within reasonable driving distance. So it really did feel like the food of the future

You watched all the Mad Max movies and only crushed one taco twelve pack? Absolutely Haram.

I know for sure that I definitely saw Babe 2: Pig in The City when I was a kid but from the plot summary I guess I remembered absolutely nothing.

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.

5 cool movies and 12 tacos. Sounds like a day well-spent.

This is one of your best videos. I’m not even being sarcastic or ironic. This is peak.

It's funny how the Mad Max movies have so little dialogue but when they do speak, their lines are very memorable/quotable. "I am the Nightrider. I am fuel injected suicide machine." "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!" "Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!" "Mediocre!"

"Who killed the world?" more like "Who killed their digestive tract?", the answer? Renegade eating 12 tacos.

I'm not even 5 minutes in and I've bellylaughed like 6 times

1:31 "i am here to eat tacos" i can't tell you how much i wanted to be followed up by something like "and I'm all out of babe" XD

My personal head canon is that, in the mad max world, most everyone is doing ok but Australia just decided to go all in

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.

Might be my favorite line from any media anywhere: "What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?" "You do what you can." Top tier, video. Ne well.

Leon, I haven’t laughed so much in a very long time. Please know the joy is as important to me as everything else you've provided over the years.

Road warrior and thunderdome are some of my childhood favourites. Then i saw fury road and my mind never recovered from being completely blown. Truly one of my favourite movies

OMG, I literally just watched Mad Max: Fury Road because I love the cinematography and the color grading and the practical action effects. Never saw the first three films so I'm interested to see what you have to say about them.

That'll do Renegade Cut dude, that'll do.

Leon is under Big Taco's thumb. It's the only explanation for my irresistible urge to consume them tonight. They should give you a raise.

You gotta respect anyone who commits to leather fetish esthetic in Australia. Especially post-apocapypse.

The lesson I took from this video is that there's a Babe sequel I missed as a child and a Fury Road sequel I missed as an adult, both of which I need to go watch. Like, now.

I grew up on Mad Max. Always loved it, it felt my sorrow.

The fact that you tied the MST3K Beyond Thunderdome riff into the video reinforces why you're my favoritest bestest.

Where Cockney people were going with most things was usually jail. Or rather gaol.

I'm peeing in a wine bottle as i watch the intro to this work of art, let's go 🎉

I mean, 3D printed cheese would be a pretty great innovation by a nameless taco company

Miller made me the person I am today. I joined Greenpeace and drive a supercharged V8 because of him. God bless you George. ♥️

I always thought Mad Max being nomadic was a metaphor for him running from the memories of his past.

Glorious taco eating.... witnessed.

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.

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.

Turbo Kid is a great indie movie that is very much in the spirit of the Mad Max movies. It is also a chef’s kiss to elder millennial nostalgia

Thank you for the joy this brought me, I remember watching Thunder dome with my mom while growing up. Best wishes to kind people❤

As an Aussie I have to say that was a great run of Cheese & Cuties (movies)

Makes me want to do a 12 taco movie binge challenge as well. I'm so glad you are making content that makes you happy Renegade Cut! 🙂

Calling it Babe 1 Pig in the Country is hilarious and accurate

Before I watch I'm predicting the tacos were not consumed during the watching of the movies, but at the end, all at once. Possibly over the sink.

Full chaos configuration RC is here and I am LOVING it

Now when people ask if I've seen Fury Road yet, I can say no but I have watched Babe

This is the art i'm here for!

“I ate a taco in his honor” should become a catchphrase of the channel

I really enjoy your inflections and cadence in your narration. That might be the weirdest thing I ever typed on RU-vid.

Is there a sadder statement in this world than '0 Tacos Remain'?

"That'll do pig" I said at the cops funeral.

Good use of that old MST3K gag

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

Fam, that sounds like an excellent weekend.

Leon, this is genius. Hilarious and way more fact packed than I thought it'd be.

Someone else already said this is one of your best. Agree to the max.

This era of RC is strange, and I like it.

You made my day a lot better with this. Thank you.😊

I really love your stuff like this! Also your other stuff... Honestly i just think you make really great videos!

RIP the unattended grilled cheese sandwich and Leon's gastrointestinal tract.

You deserve to be happy

It seems you are happier than usual, it also makes me happy.

Finally someone puts some respect on Babe's name

this chanell has gotten even better.

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.

“I reckon you got a bargain.”

Art. Full stop. Thank you

Sounds like you had fun. I also watched Furiosa, The Road Warrior, and Beyond Thunderdome this week. I also jumped back into my save file for the 2015 Mad Max videogame for a few minutes. It’s a great adaptation.

I'm really enjoying these new videos.

Fanstastic... I guess I should maybe watch Babe 1&2 for the first time.

You could also eat burgers made with ingredients of dubious origin

Love the title of this video, great work as always and I'm glad you're making videos!

You don't need another Taaaaaco, you don't need to know the way hoooome!

Every video more delightful than the last.

The taco-resource metaphor is brilliant, when you realize some people can do it, some cannot - but maybe can with the help with others, some people can't help trying to regulate the taco-eating schedule for others; and those who can sometimes can't, and some situation enable people to make wrong decisions for their future...

Now that's a good video title to see from you after the past couple years, Leon. If I can call you that, I'm not that parasocial really. Anyways, keep these coming Mr. Cut! Good juxtaposition of script vs Miller's used blue van getting wrecked.

2:15 I 100% agree with you there! I also love telling my brother I’m “skittling” when I eat skittles during our watchStuff Ritual. It’s just so much fun to say.

Great video! I have enjoyed your more serious content in the past but this was a very nice change up.

I liked Leon's old work very much. I'm deeply digging this era of Leon. I love this so much.

Because of this video now I want to and I’m almost certainly going to go buy 12 tacos from said taco place

This is sincerely one of your best videos

Babe was my favorite kids movie. I got into the Mad Max series years later and loved it. I had no idea the 2 were connected until again, years later

I too enjoy Mad Max, tacos, and words of praise from James Cromwell

Even tacos cannot surpass this new direction in splendor and glory

That is the perfect amount of words that any essayist ever dedicated to Fury Road

My experience of Fury Road was so pure I'm reluctant to watch it again, like ever. Some part of me wants it to percolate forever in my imagination as the one perfect example of the form. You might tell me I'm idealizing it, but that's the point. It's probably not perfect. It probably could be better. I was probably just caught up in the moment and missed some of its glaring faults--plot holes, awkward CGI, etc. But I don't want to know that.

Loved this!! Humor on point

I really fancy a taco now.

I give this video 12 out of 12 tacos.

"All the Mad Max Movies?" the audience asked in awe, "That´s right" said Leon "12 Tacos!"

Oh man, another one of my favorite RU-vidrs selling out to “Big Taco”! I don’t care what you say, no one shows those delicious, irresistible tacos on my screen and expects me not to run for the border™️ this minute!

I've never seen babe2, but your description really makes it sound like some studio gave miller millions of dollars to make a kids movie, and he just went "fuck it, let's do Orwell's animal farm for the kiddies"

i'm crazy about you, professor.

incredible title, and hitting play now

Mad Max movies and 12 tacos? Well fuck, that sounds like a great day to me! 😂

Achievement unlocked: Max Tacotanski! 🏆🥇🎖️

Took me a min to get to this one. Been very much enjoying the flow of stuff you're puttin out. I left a comment before, bein like "do what the fuck you feel and I'll watch", idk if you saw it, but pleased you took that route none the less. Stoked for that disco one if you put it out. I musta beat that game a dozen times since I got it. Had never even heard of Leisure Suit Larry XD

The ending is so true and hilarious. I think I’ll go make some tacos now.

Dude, this video is a masterpiece.
