The Road Warrior is basicly a 2 hour Judas Priest Music Video that you can watch over and over.

I’m honoured to be called a BABY BON JOVI lol Pretty damn funny and the video is clever, well done 👏

The beat him up. they destroyed his car. They killed his dog. Hmmm

That stuntman was Guy Norris and absolute fucking legend... He also flipped the Interceptor in Fury Road...

wait wait wait ... that stunt ... was a fuck-up? And the guy came back to film again after basicly planting his head looney tunes style in the side of a hill? Someone get that man suegery ... because it's a clinical imossibility to walk around with balls that big.

Reminder that the director of this also directed Babe and Happy feet.

"Baby Bon Jovi with a boomerang."

I am from Venezuela and the only thing you got wrong was that we don't use badass leather jackets because it's too damn hot and they are too expensive to buy. But yeah the country is pretty much your typical fallout game or Mad Max movie at this point

Ran into some Fast and Furious Honda hotrodders once and asked them if they ever saw the Road Warrior. They were so lost.

DOES CHARLES BRONSON KNOW YOU HAVE THAT?!

Fun fact: the guy who played the chopper pilot was so starved and sick during filming that he could barely leap up from the ambush hole in his first scene. That guy deserves a frickin' medal.

As a young teenager, I saw Road Warrior on US release, in a theater. I can tell you it hit us like a... speeding oil tanker. To use an overused word, it was "epic." Even those who knew about Mad Max - a pretty select group, back then - were not expecting such a balls-out violent, deliriously stylized, gloriously shameless yet poignant tale of heroism, cynicism, loss and redemption. (Pause for a sick guitar riff. This was the 80s, remember.) Razor is right, as usual, about that final chase. Real drivers, real vehicles, 100% practical effects. Likely the best scene of its kind ever filmed. Every kid I knew memorized Humungous' Just Walk Away speech. A fella, a quick fella, might even try to duplicate the rasping Scandi accent. Cinema gold, from an era that will never return. Thanks for the vid, Razor.

Fun Fact: The stunt where that one car jumps into the moat around the Refinery went horribly wrong and one of the stuntmen was injured. In a later stunt, one involving an overturned dune buggy and a motorcycle, that stuntman was *also* injured, and did a sick-ass front flip. Also, the pink car that gets roasted is a DeSoto, *not* a Cadillac.

The Interceptor puts *itself* back together between movies, Razorfist; I thought you knew that.

Sorry about your friend, Razor. It's always tough to lose a comrade

The thing about these movies that always shatters my suspension of disbelief is that the post apocalypse roads are in better shape than the ones around my home. You can still see the lines painted on them! Who's wandering the wasteland repainting the lines and filling in pot holes? Giant Radioactive Mutant Cockroach Road Repair Crews! I want to see that movie.

"Sallied forth" - sweet Army of Darkness drop.

That syrian refugee joke literally made me almost choke on what I was eating

Firstly, you're my damned hero (I just discovered you.) Secondly, I love this film and a few years ago I made it a Thanksgiving tradition to watch it every year that day. My two sons asked me, "Why The Road Warrior on Thanksgiving?" to which I replied, "Aren't you thankful we don't live like that?" Razorfist, you rock! (But you already knew that...)

The Road Warrior is one of my favorite films!

That stuntman is my hero. God damn that son of a bitch should have gotten the fucking medal of honor for that.

"Buckshot ball massage." Razorfist has the best one-liners. Road Warrior is one of the greatest films of all time, it has more storytelling in any given 10 minute segment than most films these days have in their entirety. The intro alone is a masterclass in film making.

You can tell just how badly Miller wanted Fury Road to be a rehash of The Road Warrior when you compare the major plot points of the two: -Max is own his own, wandering aimlessly, growing progressively crazier and more detached, and stumbles onto the antagonist's men and runs afoul of them entirely by circumstance -He gets roped into aiding a more morally upstanding group, for the most part against his will, as they attempt to escape from the antagonist with a precious resource in tow, initially helping them only for his own sake, but eventually coming to actually, even if only somewhat, give a shit about helping them. -The antagonist is a hulking, charismatic warlord who holds command over his minions as much with his philosophy and his ability to communicate it as he does with his might. -He ends up gaining an ally in the form of a shifty, mentally unstable weirdo who had previously trapped him and attempted to rob, use, and otherwise kill him, who ends up redeeming himself and aids him invaluably during the final battle. -Said final battle involves a massive, epic car chase centered around Max in a tanker, culminating in the death of the antagonist and his violent yet simple-minded second-in-command. -After seeing his temporary allies off, Max disappears back into the wastes, essentially in exactly the same way he started the movie, but now with his conscience and soul put at ease for having helped those he could. Take away a few incidental changes, and that's essentially the exact same plot. The only difference is that Fury Road insisted on a surplus of X chromosomes (though, hilariously enough, it's only because of the two characters with cocks that the "action bitches" manage to actually accomplish anything, but we'll get to that soon enough). And try as he might have, Miller simply couldn't capture the same feeling of the film that inspired so many franchises across so many mediums. He got it right the first time, though, and fuck, did he ever.

I think it's the peak of the series, honestly. I watched this so, so many times on HBO growing up. Forbidden fruit and all that.

A hard hitting biopic detailing the X Games of Australia.

You mean a mad max movie can use the title character as the MAIN character?!?!?!???!

So basically, fallout is just mad max with more useless raiders

I've waited a long time for a Farscape reference. Australia kicks ass with sci fi as well as post-apocalyptic !

It's a post-apocalyptic retelling of the Illaid, right down to Achilles and Petroclus. Things don't entirely line up, true, but I put that down to the imaginative retelling.

The song in the intro is one of the greatest songs in a Razorfist intro ever.

Mad Max sits right next to Escape from New York for me, both dance near the edge of what you can imagine would be amazing but never fully realize it.... mind you mad max comes a lot closer than anything Plisken ever actually put on screen but neither world was ever done proper justice IMO

Razorfist yelling "Buckshot Ball-massage!" is going to be my ring-tone.

Mel did nothing wrong...

I just love that shot with the dog and the shotgun. fucking classic.

Hahahahahahahahaja "the Nigel farage method" haha your the best !!!

Man this movie is still awesome, and thanks for the sweet tribute to Emer Prevost Razorfist, rest in peace Emer :( Also surprised you didn't make any Fist of the North Star jokes, since well....this movie was what "inspired" the franchise, as much as I love Fist of the North Star yeah it owes a lot to this movie

I remember watching this and just going by reflex "not the dog!". I know, so original.

This Regeaholic Cinema is one of your best man, in stitches the entire time. Fuckin' stuntman is a legend btw. He was nuts.

god damn, major props for that stunt guy, I hope they gave him a bonus.

I spent 4 days driving through the roads Mad Max was filmed on a week ago.It is some of the most desolate country ,and hot as fuck.Truly kept my sphincter clenched the whole time,hoping not to break down or meet Wez and Humungous.

rip mate I will never forget how you helped me out in getting fallout 3 to work on my pc and also when playing a few matches on L4D. Wasn't much of an experience but you were still a great guy. You will be missed

Your review needs more Hillary barbs. Like dakka, you can never have enough. =3

flying Korean food .. i died

One of my favorite movies of all time! Great review as always, and I am loving Mad Max Month.

*RIP* Emer. Gone but not forgotten.

I sneaked in to my local cinema when i was under age to see this,IT WAS FUCKING FANTASTIC.

Oh shit bro, a farscape reference in my Mad Max review? Fuck yeah!

Fucking A, as always. Best reviews I've ever seen. You shall truly ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

Flying Korean food!!!

I can already see that the design philosophy for the Mad Max game was. It was in 2,3 or 4 and it looks cool. Add it to the game. I do like that they revive the interceptor in the game for to be immediatly torched anyway

I was pretty bummed when they thrashed The Last V-8 in the new one. It was just a brutal kick in the teeth. Not only that, they destroy it twice in the same fucking movie. The only comfort I can take from it is the fact that supposedly Mad Max is more of a "legend" than an actual person, kind of a cop out but the director basically said that leaves the setting and character open for essentially infinite stories. I think Tom Hardy did a decent job so I wouldn't be that upset if they did another one with him.

can't we all just get beyond thunderdome?

Absolutely my favorite Mad Max movie better than the new one everyone worships

This video nailed me right in the '80s.

buckshot ball massage, boomerang bon jovi, SO MUCH WIN

Ok I laughed hard at the Bob and Anita Dracula bit.

My friend Jeremy does Wasteland Weekend fairly regularly, and apparently so does Major-Mowhawk who even has his own interceptor. There you go, that's a thing you now know.

"It worked for Sweden" Ouch... The truth hurts.

5:39 the guy in cuffs switched binocular for spyglass before but for the execution reaction shot he has the spyglass again.

Nicely done Razorfist. After reviewing this series can you do 1981's NIGHTHAWKS please.

2:46 - Then he went on to be Ransik in Power Rangers giving them all the excuse they need to do a shameless and goofy Road Warrior parody in one episode. Small world :3

Dude you running commentary is hilarious...laugh my ass off everytime

I'm old and remember this. The original Mad Max was pretty much released and forgotten, then Road Warrior came out which not only launched the franchise, but resuscitated the first movie. I saw both at a $1 theater double feature that didn't much care what you smoked in there in St Louis. Amazing movie and stunt work.

"seventeen phylums" :D I'm surprised you didn't note how that boomerang kid is totally proto-Gau. Nice with the Metal Gear gag and the Boomer Kuwanger reference, though!

I saw this on its US theatric debut. This movie on a big screen was incredible!

2:49 how has it taken me twenty plus fucking years to know that Wells played ranisk on power rangers

Nice touch going out on the stage theme for the Mega Man X villain you referenced. Sound track for that game is metal as fuck.

What a friday morning treat, Mr. Fist.

One of the great sequels ever. Not quite the story that the first had, but it went a long way in helping solidify the image of the character as a cinema icon.

11:49 - 12:16 the saddest moment in cinema history

One, the Lord Humungus was Swedish. Two, that picture you used of him with Hillary is actually a bad ass cosplayer named Jim "Tank" Dorsey. Three, well done as usual.

F--king love your reviews. Your sprinkled in jokes and social commentaries are icing on the cake.

I lost it at the "Whawassatnoise?"

"Flying Korean food". made me chuckle.

After the DEATH WISH2 commentary this is UNQUESTIONABLY RAGEAHOLIC'S GREATEST VIDEO! I AM CRYING ENDLESS TEARS OF JOY!

If you pause it at 15:21, you can see bits of Wes on the radiator.

YESSS! THANKYOU FOR THE FARSCAPE REFERENCE I LOVE YOU P.S. ...would Ben Browder make a good Max?

Rewatching for the first time in a while and I just wanna say beyond loving this review I’m still badly missing Emer Prevost. I’m still so glad I got him Ralph Bakshi’s American Pop on his wishlist and that he really enjoyed it. He was a fantastic guy and a HELL of a great film critic.

can you please, please for the love of Lemmy make that intro sequence into a full on vid for that song?

you made my 26th birthday Razor. this and the bottle of Sake I got to cook with

i dunno how close you and emer where (fuck could have just been a subscriber for all i know) but if you guys were i'm sorry for your loss man. Thank you for this video, high quality and insufferably snarky as ever, it's what he would have wanted.

Damn, Razor. Eclipse and Anthem just seems to be some of the best shit to open your videos with and get pumped up. Can't wait to use some of their stuff to run a Metal Starfinder rpg.

...what a great walk down the memory lane, this is such a classic movie! Now, I want to listen to Mötley Crue's 'looks that kill' and 'wild side'...

David Jaffy DEFINITELY lost his virginity to this movie...and it promptly never called'em back, which explains why his entire Twisted Metal series is him building a stalker shrine to the damn movie.

Ok, this video has officially made this my new favorite channel on KZfaq. I laughed my ass off watching this video and will now watch every video on this channel

The ending shot of the Road Warrior is theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee best of all time...

Recently found your channel dude. You got great comedic style man. Loving this shit! GOOOoooddd fffuckin' speed!

I always thought that he KNEW he was the decoy. I'd always assumed it was his idea, even. At the very least, it would have been real hard for him to miss them loading the 55 gallon drums of fuel onto their escape bus...

I yearn for a new world, in which MovieBob and Razorfist recognise the talents in each other.

I had an infuriating moment a couple years back while watching Road Warrior in 35mm (which you MUST do if you get the chance, it looks like Lawrence of Arabia). Turns out there's a subtle but important difference btw the AUS version and the US one. The editing is slightly different at the end of the final chase when Pappagallo shouts "Come on, jump! We've won!" In the US version, he's shouting it to the feral kid, but in the original version, he's saying it TO MAX. So in the original, Pappagallo is a man of his word and even though he has tricked Max out of caution and desperation, he still seeks to save him. The lesson being that Max's nihilism is misplaced and he should have embraced the colonists' hope all along. In the altered US version, Pappagallo is just another opportunist of the wasteland, and Max's nihilism is well-founded and correct. The lesson being you can't trust anybody. In other words, the US release was purposely changed to rob Max of a proper hero's arc.

Perhaps the funniest Rageaholic Cinema episode. I should have noted this several years and 4 views ago.

Just discovered your videos, great stuff man!

One of my favorite movies. Great video, too many great quotes to list, but “Baby Bon Jovi with a Boomerang” is too good.

I have learned from many movies that killing a man's dog is a straight ticket to death.

That mgs3 theme reference was hilarious.

Vernon Wells is UNQUESTIONABLY One of the ALL-TIME Greatest & Most Under Rated Movie Villians of All-Time!

"Flying Korean food!"

Remind me to but this serie on Blu Ray still freakin GREAT. Good video and amazing comment on real movie making for action films. HELL YEAH.

In honor of Mad Max month, im bout to play some MAD MAX on the PS4. Great Review

Ayatollah of rocka rolla and no Chris Jericho references. You are truly a better man than I.
