Max Max 2: The Road Warrior (1982) First Time Watching! | Movie Reaction 

This is considered the favorite of all Mad Max movies, I have to agree with that

The twist at the end and the words 'He lives only in my memories....' was so f***ing EPIC.

'Mad Max 2' could easily be a silent film. Perfect visual storytelling.

I was in 5th grade and we lost our minds seeing it opening day in the theater......Oh man good times

I think The Road Warrior is the best out of the entire franchise. Fury Road has more crazy action but this one just has a specialkinetic energy about it that's never been matched. My opinion of course.

15:51 The wreck of the V8 has got to be the saddest car death in the entire history of filmmaking. Thanks for a great reaction to a great movie!!

When Max's tanker crashes at the end of the chase, to this day that is still one of the best truck crash scenes I've ever seen in a film.

The original movie was not an "experiment". It was just a small film that took off in wild popularity when it was released in more and more countries worldwide.

This is my favorite of the Mad Max movies. I may be a little partial though because I saw this when I was growing up and it’s still awesome in my opinion.

This was my introduction to the Mad Max franchise. At the time it was just called The Road Warrior, and after watching it I went back to see the original Mad Max (1979) to get his origin story.

Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome and you will be up to date. ;)

That kid who played the feral boomerang thrower absolutely nailed his role. Great acting.

They need a new movie with Mel Gibson as old Max , that would be awesome!

The Road Warrior is basically a reimagining of the old Western movie STAGE COACH

The Intro segment and the Ending segment really bookend this movie well. The old man telling the story has a great voice. And then we see who the old man is.

This movie is the story of Max, told by the kid, now an old man and leader of his people. Fury road is the story of Max, and how he shaped the future of the Citadel as told from their perspective. Thunderdome is essentially the same. They are fables about this man, Max, who interacted with, and shaped societies in the wasteland. The timeline and the details get mashed together over the tellings.

I think, the "Mad Max"-Franchise was THE Inspiration of the legendary "Wasteland"- and "Fallout"-Games...

Don't forget "Beyond Thunderdome" and Aunty Entity. Two reactors enter, one reactor leaves!

The "tiny chopper" is a Gyrocopter AKA Autogyro. The larger of the blades isn't powered. The smaller of the blades pushes the copter forward and the large blade spins by the forward movement and provides lift. Another famous Gyrocopter scene is in James Bond - "You Only Live Twice"

Don't forget about mad Max 3, beyond thunderdome that is the last of the trilogy in this set of mad Max movies.

In the late-80’s there was a TV broadcast show named “Weekend Action Theatre” that used the refinery blowing up and Humungus’ wreck in the title scene. You know you did something right when something is so great it headlines every other action movie played in the program.

It's kind of tragic, bow girl obviously liked him.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Peak Mad Max

You can't imagine how much this movie affected a whole generation (of, yes young men, mostly) when it came out. It was the most fun at the movies since Star Wars. It was just called "The Road Warrior" back in the day. Renamed Mad Max II later, when it was becoing a "franchise".

The next one, BEYOND THUNDERDOME is pretty good too.

The Road Warrior ..! Cult ! Masterpiece

Alien Abduction 2014. This movie was based on actual events and filmed from a kid's camcorder. It made me rethink my religion 😅

Mo hawk biker dude = Vernon Wells was also in Commando as Bennet the guy who got a pipe in him by Arnold. Also in Wierd Science playing a biker dude. Also in the movie innerspace as mr igoe.

The V8 is destroyed in this film but is in the opening scene of Fury Road. Max has a metal brace on his leg in this film but does he have the leg brace in Fury Road? No idea how it is even Max in Fury Road. Cheers for following up on the reaction to Mad Max.

every installment in Mad Max is good in its own way

I use to cover my ears and close my eyes when the dog gets shot.

I AM GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED that no one else has done a video on this ^_^ PS the Humongous was actually a wrestler from Sweden (they just needed a big dude, no real acting involved). That's why he didn't have a funny accent like the rest of those guys.

What's nice is that the first Mad max shows us how society is already breaking down. That's something rarely shown in dystopias or post-apocalyptic stories. Usually we just see the broken world. In Mad Max we see the beginning, after it broke down in this one you've seen the world more broken in 'Fury Road'. And then there is 'Beyond Thunderdome'.

My favorite of the three original movie, though the third is definitely worth watching. Enjoyed the reaction!

19:02 Guy Norris , He is a legend An essential character in the Mad Max series

Great movie saw at the theater with my wife, fun times, thanks

There is one more, "MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME." Great ending to his original story.

2:28 Thats Vernon Wells Main bad guy in Commando with Arnold S. He also did parody of this role in comedy movie Weird Science.

this has always been one of my favorite mel gison movies and the best mad max film in my opinion. It was the first movie I saw after coming out of a many yrs-long rough patch and so I have good memories of that time. Hope Mel is finally out of his own dark ages and will be able to make more great films if the hollywood elite allow it. ⚛😀

Wez is a member of Lord Humungus' Marauders is played by Vernon Wells. Wells was the bad guy in Schwartenegger's "Commando" and in "Inner Space" He was also in Fortress (1985), and Weird Science (1985) as Lord General Bruce Spence - the Gyro-captain (not a helicopter) is a NZ-born actor. Oddly he's in the third film but plays a totally different character who is also a pilot He was in "The Matrix Revolutions", and "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith"

Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome next !!! 👍

The blond guy looks like the actor from " Ghostbusters 2" the one who plays ' VIGO '. But in " The Road Warrior " he's just much younger.

I don't remember which one of those two first movies, but in one stunt, one stuntman got killed...it was a time of no CGI...and real risks taken.

Its awesome you guys are watching these. I remember as a kid watching the first and this one , In 1988 One of the first movies i ever watched :))

This is my favorite action movie of all time. But even I admit that if the bad guys had just thought to shoot out the rig's FRONT wheels, this would've been a very short movie.

In case you didn't know, the helicopter man (Bruce Spence) is the Mouth of Sauron in 'The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King'.

Should watch no 3 also. Thunderdome. Tina Turner is in it.

I'm grateful you did this. One of the finest action movies EVER. The chase inspired a wave of copycat movies in the 80s

Mad Max III Beyond Thunderdome!! (1985) To me was the best one, Tina Turner and a great soundtrack by her too. Master Blaster hint BLASTER was in the original Mad Max too!

I enjoyed the 3rd in the series. It had a great story. I enjoy your reactions!

Don't you know that there is a MAD MAX 3 BEYOND THUNDERDOME? That one is the last of the trilogy.

The V8 interceptor is like the sword of Excalibur. The Mad Max stories are similar to the King Arthur mythological legends, which are all blurred by the different retellings from everyone's perspectives. You have to watch the third film for it to make sense. Since the release of the 4th film and now a 5th with Furiousa, the story timelines are not in chronological order. It's becoming a saga. The two first films are the best.

The 2nd movie is called THE ROAD WARRIOR! The 3rd movie is MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME. I really hope you watch it, cause it's a fun ride!!👍🙂

Max Max 3 ...Beyond Thunderdome ... Dying' time is here!

You will see Bruce Spence, the auto-gyro pilot, again in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and you will be confused. As I stated before, Miller has said that all these movies represent stories told far in the future about Max and his adventures. Max has become a legend by then, therefore different re-tellings of the oral history will contain inconsistencies. The third installment features the late, great, Tina Turner as Max's adversary, and IMO she is the only antagonist who is not really a villain, but a non-villainous antagonist.

Fury Road is connected to the original trilogy in name only, there is no through-line or canon it's following. It's more a reboot than any kind of continuation of the original story.

The entire budget (for Mad Max , 1979) was $350,000.

LOVE both of you, and your comments , especially Joy ! - she's SO energetic and attractive ! The Road Warrior ( Mad Max 2 ) --- was , by far , the best of the series !

Your reaction was a maelstrom of DECAY ... in the best possible sense

As someone said after you watched the first Mad Max only days ago - the creator of this (George Miller) only had just over $300k to spend on it. But due to it's actual success - and suddenly becoming a cult classic it raked in around $100m worldwide - (not counting any video sales/DVD sales later - So, he made MM2 - The Road Warrior which cost about $4m AUS to make - as he naturally had more funding available to use for this one - sadly, and who knows why? This one did not do as well as the first film - but still made over 12 times its cost - grossing $50+m WW at box office & any later after sales). So, MM3 then came about "Beyond Thunderdome" - which cost $12m to make - and it still made treble its cost with roughly $36+m - (again not counting any after sales monies made?) . . . As for the more recent Mad Max Fury Road film - not actually made by Kennedy/Miller - (But, via Warner Bros, etc, but directed by Miller) - the films budget was said to be between $154-185m - and it grossed $380+m - so only making just over twice what it cost . . .And as for, "Furiosa", which appears to be the prequel to Fury Road, only time will tell as to what it will have cost to make and what it may make on it over time as well . . .?

Great movie

@MJoy4Fun At the end I believe the specific term you are looking for the fake-out tanker with only sand in it is called "Bait and switch"

Mad max: beyond thunderdome 1985 is the next film.

The third movie is call mad max beyond the thunder dome

Guess after watching this its time for you to get Beyond Thunderdome

The feral child grows up to become MAX in Fury Road. period. yes it works out.

Bust the deal and face the wheel... Gulag gulag gulag...🤨

I like how ambiguous the timeline is. The war they speak of at the beginning? For all we know it might have been World War 2. The disaster that killed or is killing society is not specified, it's all mythical. In the 80s we could imagine it's a nuclear war, today we can imagine it's climate change. It doesn't really matter how, the point is that we screwed up and destroyed it all.

The story with the interceptor is that it gets wrecked in this one, as you saw. Then in the third film Max is scavenging parts to build a new one. This is only hinted at in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, but is more fully fleshed out in the pre-Fury Road comics and video game. I saw George Miller talk at length about this idea and how the interceptor is something that Max really clings to because of what it represents - it's the only point of contact he has to when he was last "alive". So the car he has in Fury Road is a recreation of the original he's building himself.

Ford falcon XB GTI 351 1973 Mad Max car

Mad max then came mad max 2 the road warrior, mad max 3 beyond thunderdome in 1985 then came mad max fury Road I wish Mel Gibson would have been in it I miss him as max there's another mad max film this year

I swear she sounds just like Salma Hayek

At the beginning prologue about learning to live again, Max already knows how to survive just fine, and what it ends up being even from his more reserved, restrained standpoint is its still a pretty selfish path, he loses track of where he lies vs the marauding antagonists he faces, he's not ruthless to the defenseless like they are, but the idea is that despite survival, that living again means going against survivability to risk one's own survival in order to live, for a principle of what living over just survival is about, Max is grappling with who he used to be as a cop, and what it cost him then, and what its costing him now to not be like he was, he hasn't just written off the bands of raiders as human beings, but he's also condemned the chances of the still relatively civilized people making it without help, and that he won't risk that help being his, he's unwilling to take risks for those who remain who aren't like them but usually the victims, part of it is they like him aren't sadistic and thuggish, greedy in nature, but also that they aren't hard set enough, able to fight back as well as he can, that they are targeted for being weak and vulnerable and even humanely merciful on some level.

It’s called Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome! I think it was around 1985. I don’t want to give away any spoilers. So just get that one next. It’s the last film of the franchise as far as I’m concerned… To be nice, I’ll say Fury Road was something I won’t acknowledge and Furiosa looks as bad or worse!

1. This is the best. Including "Fury Road". That movie proves there can be too much CGI. 2. The hot blonde chick the copter man was chasing 3. Max not staying with those people left the door open for another adventure. 4. One of the spectacular stunts in the film, in which one of the motorcycle-riding raiders hits a car, flies off the bike, smashes his legs against the car, and cartwheels through the air towards the camera, was actually a genuine and nearly fatal accident. The stuntman was supposed to just fly over the car without hitting it. He survived, but his leg was broken badly. The moment looked so dramatic that it was kept in the film. 5. When Humongous gets his I go, "Couldn't happen to a nicer guy".

Thunder Dome next 🤘

Still the best Mad Max. Glad you enjoyed it.

You guys really need to go more research. There is a third Mad Max movies. Mad Max Beyond Thunddome. Sheesh maan!

There have been four mad Max movies. Mel Gibson was the first three instalments

Director George Miller said in an interview that he had been surprised by the success of Mad Max. Someone told him about Japanese Samurai films, that the ideas were similar. So he watched a lot of Samurai and arrived at this formula for Road Warriors (that was working title when released in the U.S.). Hero/stranger comes into town, saves town from villains, rides into sunset, always the loner. Westerns also, High Plains Drifter, etc

21:30 "decoy"

This must be after furiosa/fury road cos max had the car still in fury road remember

Wow that was fast. Going to enjoy this!

Now both of yous have to complete the Mad Max universe as do Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. With Beyond Thunderdome, what you need to remember that like with Mad Max (1979), and Mad Max: Furieosa, it is a plot heavy movie. Although it is just as loved as the rest of the Mad Max movies, but it is the most problematic because it has the least amount of action, and what action there is in the movie has more of a comedic elements to it.

The next one is BEYOND THUNDERDOME the third in the series 😊😊

One of my fav films.. Great reactions. Thank you

Mad Max 3 Beyond The Thunder Dome with Tinna Turner

Now watch Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome!

mad max beyond thunder dome

I'm still anxiously waiting for you to watch the 2004 movie Van Helsing

Max's world falls apart due to runing out of crude oil. The only economic means of energy. Fury Road was originally to take place 20 years after Mad Max ThuderDrome.

But beyond thunderdome is after this with Tina Turna then Fury Road but this is the best mad Max out of all. Fury Road was ok but there wasn’t much to it now Furisona is got her own movie attached to Mad Max Mel Gibson didn’t do Fury Road and Charaz Theron and Tom Hardy did not get along she said she would never work with him again on any movie it was supposed to be mad in Australia however in the outback were they picked hadn’t rained in 30 years until they went to shoot fury road so they moved it to Nambia Africa in the 1st mad max the guy who’s the boss of the motorcycle gang actually plays immortal Joe 😂😊

I know people like the first and the second ( which is correct in ways ), but the next one has a special place in my view because I watched it first before the first one, and this one..Beyond Thunder dome is more family focused yet still has good action.. and I'm a fan of the lady leader ( Savsnnah nixx ) of the tribe of people in Beyond thunderdome..😃. Hot hot legs 😃

There's a 3rd mad max with mel gibson and tina turner.

You need to watch mad max beyond the thunderdome next

The kid is Tom Hardy's Max in Fury Road?

Fury Road is a composite of the original trilogy not continuance

There IS a third Mad Max.
