Fun fact. They didn't have a dog. The script called for one. Crew went to the pound. That dog was living his last day. Scheduled. So the bailed him out. Put him in one of the best movies ever made as side kick to the hero. And then to a farm after filming to live out his days.

I like how the Gyro Captain was a different kind of survivor in the wasteland to what Max was. Their approach differed but they both had with it took to survive in a ruthless land.

"And the Road Warrior?... That was last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my Memories...."

One of the greatest action movies ever. I rented this from the video shop every month for about 3 years. One of my favourites ✌️

I love the Gyro Captain, he's as cunning as Max - he's smart enough to have one set of tracks out from the 'copter but to have camouflaged his tracks back. It's a shame Bruce Spence's character in 'Thunderdrome' wasn't the captain. It would have been good to see two old mates get together.

one of the best films ever made!

He was so good-lookin' here; the best Max there ever was or will be.

I love when Max says: " Poow", i almost felt like something really exploded

Dont matter how many mad max fury roads they make without gibson he will always be max nobody else

I never noticed the naked chick poster on the Gyrocopter as Max walks up to it.

My favorite movie of the Mad Max saga.

This is the first Mad Max movie I ever saw in the theatre as a kid. I later rented the first one…and of course have seen every other one in the theatre as well. Each one is amazing, but i think this will always be my favorite. George Miller has truly created an incredibly original & awesomely cinematic Universe. Even today at 80 he makes better action movies than directors half his age. My only hope is that if he has another Mad Max film in him that Gibson returns for one last go as an aging Max in the post apocalyptic outback of Australia. Nothing against the Furiosa character(which i love)…but what a fitting way to wrap up this series of films that would be!

Best post apocalyptic movie ever. The benchmark and also in my personal top 5 of best movies.

The Gyro Captain provides some comic relief in this movie. A few good laughs.

I like how Max is so attached to his car that he actively warns the Gyro Captain that it's booby-trapped so that he doesn't blow it up trying to steal the fuel.

" Oh you crafty little man you. Never seen a man beat the snake before." LOL

2:05 I always liked how Bruce Spence used the look of a gangly, strutting bird for the Gyro Captain.

Gyro Captain (Bruce Spence) it's the Trainman of Matrix Revolutions! What a great actor!! 👏👏💪💪

Наикрутейший актёр, молодой, дерзкий красавчик!!! До сих пор покаряет сердца многих женщин!!!

A great scene featuring Miss January 1981 too! Love Karen Price!

"It's not self service, but for a man of your ingenuity"

This man directed and starred in Braveheart and made The Passion of the Christ and Apocalytpo. What a beast

Mel Gibson is a great actor...who makes good movies ;-) Mad Max is just the first of a long movie list...in Mel's films there is always action but also clever themes.

I like how the gyro captain orders him to turn around, but in fact it's the gyro captain who moves around to his other side. 01:18

“Looks like i got myself some guzzoline, eh? Eh? V-8? Eh?”

0:39 Never noticed the detail on the back fin of the gyrocopter. 1:40 From the beginning of the dialogue it seems they may have run across each other before, and this is yet another chapter. A real life Wile E and roadrunner day.

"Your quick, very quick, never seen a man beat the snake before". :)

My favourite Mad Max 2 no word for word.

At the time this was the most expensive Australian movie ever.

When this movie came out we tried hard to figure out the make of car and the dog breed. Back then I had never heard of an Australian-made Ford Falcon, nor a breed called "Blue Heeler", "Queensland Heeler" or Australian Cattle dog. All three names apply to this one. Today I have a Blue Heeler myself and sometimes I think he is smarter than I am. Amazing dogs. Look them up here on KZfaq.

The aerial shot of the Interceptor and the gyrocopter is just beautiful camerawork.

My favourite Mad Max film!

I just love how George Miller refuses to drive the story through dialogue at any point and tries to keep it disjointed and broken as much as possible. Except the people in the refinery, everyone, including Max, speaks in short simple sentences and don't even talk much.

i love how in the movie the dog is always against him lol so funny but a man of your injunity lol

My favorite Mad Max movie

That dog licked his face when he jumpe on him blue heeler love them.

"A fella... a *quick* fella.. might have a weapon under there. I'd have to pin his head to the panel. " suddenly the gyro captain isn't so funny...

I watched a great KZfaq review for MadMax2. Had to agree that GyroMan had all the signs of someone who treasured life, who had not given up. Colourful clothes, and flower in lapel of coat. Yet Max had objective reality as well. When he was sorting through possessions of dead man and took little music box, he discarded the dice. No place for luck in hard world, for you have to make careful planned decisions to survive. Unlike Han in that Han Solo movie where he loved his dice.

Hit Pause at 0:42. Picture on the gyrocopter next to Mel Gibson's right arm is Playboy Playmate Karen Price.

dont hurt the snake, dont hurt the snake put it down.... this character was AWESOME and his flying machine..... got myself some gasoline

I have driven my car thru that very same spot....good fun!

The quality of the conversation is outstanding! "CRAP!" "WHO ARE YOU"

Gyro Captain actor also appeared in Lord of the Rings Return of the King as a Mouth of Sauron,died from Aragorns sword in front of Tower of Barad-dur

Best movie of the 80's !

Mel is one of the greatest actors and directors of his time. That is why he can't play along and that is why he is flamed by mainstream media.

Booby trapped..touch those tanks and BOOOM Great line

This is australia when we all run out of toilet paper

Mel Gibson is so handsome in this film

That dance on the sand lol

This is probably my favourite scene in this movie, apart from the " it's got a cracked timing cover"......mechanic scene. Bruce Spence is EFFING OSCAR WORTHY in this scene...funny AF.

"Pumpin' it they are! Refinin'! Kachunk kachunkachunkachunkachunk..."

That man would lose his phalanges if he pulled the trigger on that crossbow.

Bruce Spence did a fantastic job despite his leg injuries

2:43 “eey, EEEEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEY” 😂

the species of the snake is a carpet python.

A fella, a quick fella...

Quality is extraordinary. Really adds a new dimension compared to the DVD.

Need to made like this moive. My favrote. Best wishes from Pakistan.

a fella... a quick fella...might have a weapon under there..

Oooooomg, I can't believe this only has 7,400 likes. "Me? I've got BRAINS!" What comes after this is also gold.

Thanks for the HD vid! I'd never noticed before; but it looks like the Pursuit Special had: Tramp Rods; and (what looks like) some Monroe air shocks. neat....

que bueno estaba Mel Gibson, era un nene esta película... ahora es viejo para mi =P

My mom hated television back in the 80s but this movie. 😆

Still my favorite dystopian movie

Bruce Spence was unwell when his first scene as The Gyro Captain was filmed.

1:55 You crafty little man ... reflexes, that's what you got, reflexes....

YES to Abel Villa and Vinyl Samurais! My thoughts exactly!

This looks so good in high quality

never noticed the girl on the back of the gyro before

I never noticed the "interesting" tail decoration on the gyrocopter before! When I first saw this as a strapping lad, I would have paid attention to such thjngs, lol. I guess it speaks to how good the scene is that I didn't!

the best movie ever mad max

We're partners! Partners! You and me!

My left ear enjoyed this

Why does 3:06 make me laugh so much, cajunkachunkachunk

think of him when you look at the night sky

The gyro man was funny asf

Anyone else notice that as max pulls up the car has wiper blades on, when he gets out and walks past the car the wiper blades are missing !!!

I love his dog🐕

Best Movie ever.

when I first seen this in 1981 the gyro plane has a naked woman on the rear tail stabilizer and you can see her at 41 second right beside Max's arm

lo maximo!

super clean. nice job.

Max was trying to rob him, he saw the tracks still went after his pet and his fuel, he deserved to be held up. Max then goes to kill him which the Gyro Captain didn't do, otherwise he'd have just shot immediately. Not that Max wouldn't let him live without info in another scenario, but Max is definitely no hero. At least not anymore and I think that's why he never tries to settle down. What he's become after his family's death and his efforts to survive disgusts who he really is at the core of his being.

Way more handsome than anyone now-When he said it was his lat movie-Tina Turner's song was a longing

Very courageous and revaluationary hero

Looks like more fun then going 2 work everyday.

Love the blue healer.

Kids: "but where are all the explosions" Adult: "More script and reason for survival here then the whole of Fury Road"

This two are the best no even Batman and robin can compare to them

wounderful

Melhor filme PARABÉNS

I can't wait for the Mad Mad Mad Max Blu-Ray Trilogy!

CHEERS MEL👍👍👍👍👍👍

... Ahhhh..! You trapped the tank... It's not regular that..!! 🎸🐾🐾😉

Never seen a man beat the snake before, do I

I reckon you got yourself a bargain

As Max's antagonist/unwilling partner, give me Bruce Spence over Charlize Theron any day

Liked the first one when he chased down the NIGHT RIDER

The Gyro Captain needs an ally here or he's gonna die. When ol' Maxy shows up I bet he almost pissed himself. He wants simple humanity, as does Max, Max may have abused him, but he won through. They ultimately become not just allies but great friends. Great lesson here boys and girls.
