The complete comprehensive guide to Mad Max’s Wasteland featured in Warner Bros. Discovery’s Mad Max (1979), Mad Max: The Road Warrior (1981), Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024).

With the help of the History Men and Women, we explore the world of George Miller’s Mad Max; from Aunty Entity's Bartertown to Pappagallo’s Compound to Immortan Joe's empire in the Citadel. Along the way, I explain who in the desert is The Coma-Doof Warrior, the Crow Fishers, War Boys, Imperators, etc. This exploration goes over the budget of the first Mad Max (1979) in comparison to its predecessors. Explaining why Mad Max shifted to a post-apocalyptic setting. Answering the question, why did Max Rockatansky’s world end? What exactly led to The Fall? As well as using interviews to give us a the most accurate timeline of all of the events we've seen so far.
I use text from The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road by Abbie Bernstein and Mad Max: Fury Road: The Prelude to the Blockbuster Film! (2015) by George Miller to explain the events between Thunderdome and Fury Road. Like the Max competing in The People Eater’s Gas Town’s Thunderdome 2.0 or Colonel Joe Moore’s Siege of the Citadel. This information also helps us go more in-depth when it comes to the design of the cars (like the Gigahorse, The War Rig, The Buzzard Excavator, The Lone Wolf), the settlements, inhabitants, and creatures; and how they went on to become the inspiration for Bethesda’s Fallout Video Game Series.

The best theory I've ever heard for the shakiness of any definitive mad max timeline is that when you're watching a mad max movie, you're watching a folk tale about an archetypal "man in black" or "knight errant" that is told and retold and changed in a verbal history, rather than watching the events depicted first-hand (like the viewer is watching a cinematic adaptation of a story told around campfires in the wasteland) The max's are always different men, who only maybe existed in any sense, and whose actions in the wasteland inspired stories of influential strangers that got blended into a monomyth. It's the head-canon I live with anyway

The theory of it being Max's story told by different people holds strong as fury road and road warrior can be seen as the same legend told by different people in different periods of time. And it's kinda confirmed with furiosa's ending But those two are the same max simple point with his car and in both fury road and road warrior he loses the interceptor, but they're are alot more similarities within the two films I am happy to say thunder dome is a different max, as furiosa also shows different people dressed like max who could be lumped and confused as being the same person

My dad watched these movies as a kid. I will always remember when we found the disc set that had road warrior and thunder dome. We watched RW and I loved it so much. I already had experience with Mad Max because I played the 2015 video game but that was my first time watching any of the movies. That’s one of my favorite memories of my dad

@burtan2000 11 күн бұрын

Your dad was probably my contemporary. Probably just a few yrs older than me as I also grew up with them but a few yrs after they released. I watched them all the 90's in my early teens. That means he was a young man. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you preserve his memory, shiny and chrome as it is. The fun times, the times you bonded, the things you bonded over. You'll do the same when you have some kids. I lost my old man when I was 22. It didn't affect me that severely then. But it did fester, bc of the changes it caused. The losses it perpetuated. The path my life took as a result. My point is don't let that happen. Idk how to avoid it but I will say my friends always said I was too focused on the past. I argued but now I know they were probably right. At same time, I feel like it's a sin to forget what gave one's life meaning. We honor our parents by remembering all they gave us. But I'm far less well adjusted so I wouldn't worry

Another interesting thing is, a piece of ancillary media I can't remember stated the Pacific Ocean is drastically more shallow and receded while the Atlantic is flooded and the Ice Caps have melted. This is because the fact all the nuclear weapons in the world being shot in all directions from 7 different nations had tectonic/volcanic consequences that significantly altered ocean currents (which, in turn lose their ability to regulate climate). So, it's said Sidney harbor is dry and we see the salt desert that used to be underwater because the Australian Pacific Coast is now 500km further out. It creates an environmental feedback loop with the additional myriad effects of nuclear war that affect the entire area of the world and keep getting worse. Meanwhile, coastal America and Europe are now underwater and the effects of nuclear war are likely even worse there. Meaning these parts of the world are even more irradiated with infrastructure even more ruined while being submerged and possibly even seeing a mini Ice Age. Not good.

I dont think the host is that "young", but Fukushima wasnt famous around the nuclear "ethos" only because the 2011 accident. Fukushima was famous already during the late 70s and early 80s as part of the project that would propel Japan to the forefront of the use of nuclear energy, a fact very much in notoriety given that a country which was the only one ever destroyed by a nuclear bomb would be the forefront of the nuclear energy "ideal". The plant started operation on those times, and through the 80s was considered one of the safest in the World. It is proposed that if they did not changed its design philosophy during the 90s, and instead kept their focus, the accident in 2011 would never have happened, as people point out changes for efficiency in the 1990s and 2000s were the primary drive to the weakness that the accident relied on to happen.

Isn't it confirmed that "Max" in Fury Road is the boy Max rescued? He left the car with the waiters and never came back, then the boy took the car and basically unofficially took up Max's name (as a sign of respect and because 'Max' is a legend told in the wastelands now). If you cut the age down so that max was a child during the original movies, the numbers work out a lot better. Pretty sure there was an article or video I watched about how those details were specifically incorporated -- but maybe it was just another theory somewhere on youtube. Personally, though, it makes sense to me.

Max points out in the first film discussing his retirement that he has lived far longer than anyone in the department, wishing to get out before he dies or consumed with PTSD from the job. then as the story unfolds he snaps, hence Mad Max, I also never thought Nightrider was ever mad but was in a state of an adrenaline rush, as he just escaped custody, killed his parole officers and stole the MFP Pursuit car ie. the black Holden HQ, which the black XB max takes is the replacement for. I also consider the pilot the same character, and his son the product of the blonde he fancies in MM2. could also be the same bum in the matrix, or the mouth of Sauron, that actor gets around.

As a kid, I always understood that “ a couple” was 2, “a few” is 3, and “some” was 4 or more, but less than 10. Probably wrong, that’s just how I always understood it, lol

The Atomic Cafe in Thunderdome is a nod towards a 1982 documentary called, well, The Atomic Cafe, which is a collection of 1940s/50s PSAs/propaganda films about nuclear tech, especially weapons, featuring nuclear-themed pop songs from that era. The documantary is basically where the Fallout series ripped off its entire aesthetic from LOL

Better help. Fined 7 million dollars for leaking details. Using un-licensed theripists. Horrible company. They are also not cheaper than going online and finding a proper therapist.

I thought that the paint was literally “chrome paint”, there’s a way people get high in Australia called “chroming” and it’s when someone sprays chrome spray into a plastic bag and huffs it. It gets them really messed up So I figured they were just chroming Edit: I don’t think the XB is a sedan, I’m pretty sure it’s a coupe, a coupe is just the name for a 2 door sedan and it’s usually the sports model. You can look up torana/Monaro/falcon coupes and see those kinda cars. Most of them are show cars now

Atomic Cafe isn't a reference to the documentary film? Interesting video, thanks.

I’m asking here since it’s his most recent video. Does he have a video about the hunger games after the war? I saw his haymitch video where he talks about him raising geese at the end. Do any of you know where al that info is or if he’s made a video.

Hang on, Australian police actually HELPED the production, even though they didn't have permits and all that?!? My German mind cannot comprehend this!

The Fuk-Mishima in pre disaster dialogue is just an example of synchronicity where two unrelated events happen simultaneously. If you google it they’ll give you many examples. These “ coincidences happen all the time. I myself experience it daily. Look to the long running animation The Simpsons. They’re consistently “predicting” events that eventually happen.

I get to regularly fang my black V8 2 door Australian built ute on the same roads the first movie was filmed on and have parked ute in the same carpark that was used as the set for the scene when Max gets his 2 door XB Falcon.

As much as I love the series' post-apocalyptic aesthetic, I would like to see a return to the stylized Australian cop movie style of the original.

Cut to the chase dates back to silent movies when many films ended in a chase scene. This includes comedies from Buster Keaton as well as westerns with chases on horseback. The phrase was first credited to Hal Roach Sr. an early Hollywood director and producer. There’s even a Wikipedia entry about this so I don’t get why you made up a story about the Steve McQueen movie.
