I Watched and Ranked EVERY Mad Max Movie...(Including FURIOSA)

With Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga coming out this past weekend, I took the opportunity to watch all of the Mad Max movies in the franchise...since...there's a whole trilogy from the 80s starring Mel Gibson I had never seen before. So in today's video, I break down all the Mad Max movies and give my thoughts and rankings of each film from the original Mad Max to Furiosa...

Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Mel Gibson, Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Tina Turner

[@bravepigster]

What I found funniest about watching Furiosa was the amount of people who you could just tell NEVER watched Fury Road. Judging by the reviews, many people seemed to think it was some political piece about female empowerment, even going as far as calling it “Woke.” If you call a Mad Max film woke, you should be banned from reviewing movies. Forever.

I actually like Thunderdome better from the three.

[@trancecod]

[@reddead9225]

Thunderdome felt like an Indiana jones movie, but I actually loved it and think it’s underrated as hell. Not as good as road warrior, but close.

[@captainhowlerwilson508]

Thunderdome is the clear weakest film in the franchise. It reduced the violence down to PG-13 and had a very convoluted plot. The Road Warrior is the best of the original three.

[@Vic-Vega]

Agree, it's a really bad take. I also feels like he significantly underrates the original, as well, but I at least understand his reasons for that (and if you weren't raised on bare-bones exploitation cinema of the '70s, it's easy to not be on the same wavelength as that one).

[@anthonyliloia8301]

i don’t think you’re entirely wrong about the first film, but i also think you’ve missed a bit of context. no, it’s not an amazingly powerful story or anything, but this was also the first feature length film George Miller ever made. it also wasn’t even supposed to take place in the future, but the budget wouldn’t allow for the production to get permits to shut down roads in the city of Melbourne, therefore they had to take it to the outskirts and countryside. the biker gang was an actual biker gang that was paid barely anything to be in the film, and much of their actions were improvised. again, it doesn’t all come together for the most memorable STORY, but Max as a universal archetype struck audiences worldwide which is what made it a hit, and even made the future films possible. i just think the film deserves its fair bit of respect considering its from a completely inexperienced cast and crew and made on wildly minimal budget. sure, aesthetically it feels a bit disjointed from the rest of the franchise, but it was never supposed to be a franchise, and was a miracle that it was anywhere near as successful as it became. also as a side note, the helicopter pilot played by Bruce Spence is not the same character as the airplane pilot in Beyond Thunderdome. it’s basically a running theme of the franchise at this point to have actors return as completely different characters without explanation. it has happened more than twice throughout the series.

I love/hate when 'people' say a movie is a flop when all they take into account is the budget and opening sales. Movie-goers don't care! Waterworld lost so much money, but still one of my favorites to this day.

[@BMovieTheater]

@@courtney5796 Ya I'm hearing a lot about how Furiosa was the "worst memorial day weekend movie in decades" yet it was the most successful of the weekend so that's not really a fail of Furiosa's part but of movies on memorial weekend as a whole. I don't get why everyone's singling out Furiosa. It's like they are treating it like it's a massive franchise like something from Marvel or DC. When Mad Max as much as I love it, has never really been a big draw at the theaters. It's more of an at drive-in type movie. I loved Fury Road but I also understand that it's just a glorified car chase movie with a bunch of explosions and crashes to some people and not everyone into that. Hence the name Fury Road. There are tones of amazing movies out there that didn't do well at the box office for whatever reason.

@@bkh8528 It's a good movie and based on the reviews I think most of the people that actually saw it enjoyed it as well. Problem is with any newer movie in a franchise many fans will often either go overboard praising it or throw it under the bus.

[@xkimopye]

Maybe I’m old, but it kills me when people don’t rate mad max 1. It is my all time favourite movie, and just like the first matrix it just gets better with every watch. Why do I love it so much? Max it the most badass cop in the land, and a gang has just killed his family, and now they face his wrathful revenge, and his weapon is the most kickass super pursuit cop car. It was like kill bill but in 1979. Best movie of all time for me.

[@pavement_sabbatical]

I agree, but I think because it’s a very different movie, people who don’t start with it can’t help but be disappointed purely because it’s not what they’re expecting. Like First Blood or Evil Dead.

[@captainhowlerwilson508]

I disagree. It is a movie I greatly respect, but it is no where near the best movie of all time whatsoever. The budget constraints really affected it and the story felt more like a giant prologue for what was to come later in the franchise. If anything, I think Mad Max 2 felt like the true beginning of the franchise and is the film Fury Road owes most of its debt to.

[@xkimopye]

@@captainhowlerwilson508 there is a difference between best movie of all time and my favourite movie of all time. I know other people that also regard it as their favourite movie of all time. But they are Australian men, middle aged or older. I am totally cool with people liking any of the other mad max movies more, but for me MM1 is the Max character at his best, and my other favourite character (being the interceptor) is at its best. It has the best car chases, the best cars (nightrider’s Holden monaro, max’s Holden sandman, new falcon interceptor, yellow pursuit falcons) most entertaining villain, and the most emotion of pure hatred.

[@pavement_sabbatical]

@@captainhowlerwilson508 I think it’s less about Mad Max being the best movie of all time (which I don’t even think is being argued here), and more about it not getting the respect it deserves as a great movie.

[@tenacminotauro9541]

Max Mad 1 is incredible. It's the charm. The stuttering gear head mechanic: "pp-piece here, ppeice there." The hard-nosed police captain Fifi: "They say people don't believe in heroes no more.. well damn them!!" A society on the verge with gangs like A Clockwork Orange. The Nightrider inspires future criers of the wasteland warlords and serves as the prototype warboy with his speed freak, fantasticism of his gang leader "do you see me, do ya see me" like the War boys with their "witness" chants. Mad Max 1 is incredibly slept on.

[@ImpactZD-sv2wl]

First off great video, secondly Fury road is a masterpiece from start to finish like there genuinely isn't a single flaw , 10/10, glad u think it's a banger as well bro. Still need to check out the new one i'm pumped for it

[@DyliciousTakes]

First off. THANK YOU! Second off, you are correct 100%

[@oliviaonthego]

I think, from first to most recent, the trend is a civilization that crumbles and then rebuilds in a more primitive way. Fury does a nice job of inserting this idea when the lush green is gone and replaced with desert. In this way, the first movie perhaps ties in a bit better. I've also seen it speculated that the Max on Fury is actually the boy from The Road Warrior.

[@djyua9157]

I haven't seen that theory but I like that thought

[@Sevans1973]

So strange listening to a 'new viewer' ranking Thunderdome above the first Mad Max. Older Mad Max fans would probably rate that as the weakest of all 5.

[@trancecod]

if u asked any guy older than 40 years, he would tell you that first two are the best

[@cuzzdog]

I saw Thunderdome at the Theater and it had so much hype going into the film…with Gibson already becoming an action star and Tina Turner…a rockstar icon. People were let down after the screening I saw…expecting a Road Warrior 2. I thought Thunderdome was okay….until I watched it again and again…then I realized how genius Miller was in showing how culture and civilizations begin. I have the first 4 films many times…Mad Max Original …the least….which is also my least favorite because of its B film production and lack of continuity. Miller ranks right up there with Leone for me…both who were so good with music and production and creating odd and interesting characters with some light side humor and deep character psyche…displayed by eye close ups and minimal dialog interaction…leaving the viewer to wonder more about each character's past..with their own created character pre-history.

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Many years later from now, I'm sure the Most memorable installment in the Mad Max franchise will be 'Furio-freaking-sa' and know Why is that? Chris Hemsworth role as Dementus absolutely the best and most memorable villian in All Mad Max franchise and I'm sure most will agree. The Great world building (seeing bit of Green place Abundance was wholesome) The child actor as Furiosa killed it as well. So many Great dialogues/Amazing quotes by Dementus again. Brutal dead of Praetorian Jack. Furiosa BADASS mom & Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa great performance overall. Remember Me.

You have to understand Mad Max 1 in the context of movies like Dirty Harry and Deathwish. The zeitgeist in the late 70’s was very much about out of control crime and resource shortages (gas lines, etc) and pending breakdown of society.

[@erikkoenig2631]

I get why you don’t like the first one, but when you look at the full timeline of Mad Max it makes more sense. It’s set in the mid 80’s, only a few years from when it was made and is the beginning of the end for society. I also do think it can be slow and not super well put together but you should look at it from a different point of view. They introduce Goose and it feels almost like he is the main character until his accident (the last one of 3). That big accident is what makes him leave the force. You get to know Goose and although he does not die, he has a fate worse which makes you feel what Max feels. I think the main slow parts are all the stuff that happens with the gang which just feels hollow.

Yes the first may be all over the place but if you look back it the first movie only has green grass and nice landscape bc it’s the last few years of somewhat of a normal civilization the other movies are in the future where civilization is gone

I only watch the original trilogy. I saw Fury Road but I felt Max had no personality. I asked my friend what he thought when were leaving and he said "I feel like anyone could have played Max," And that's how I felt. Max felt like he had been delegated to the guy who just drives stick. You could put any actor in that roll because Max was so thinly written. I don't care about the action, it's story and character I care about, and both took a back seat to the action in Fury Road and that's why I haven't rewatched it.

There's really no bad Mad Max movie. Even the first one has a distinctive style and mood. Thuderdome was considered a bit of a dud back then, but I think it's the most interesting of the original trilogy. The miracle of Fury Road still baffles me. Old George Miller returns to Mad Max after directing family films like Babe and Happy Feet to make the best action movie ever.

I found the opening good, but once the children came into play the movie lost its tone and suddenly felt like a kids movie which i hate for the mad Max franchise.

The pilots thing is confusing but they are not the same character. Gyro Captain becomes the leader of that gas tribe from 2. Jebediah, the one from 3, we dont have more story than that. I dont know if George Miller likes to use actors in multiple movies doing multiple characters, Toecutter actor its also the one representing Immortan Joe. Also, the reason why the movies are contained and why they dont have any connections is because you aren't seeing the events of the movies, but hearing a recollection of the events told by someone. Specifically, 2 is told by Feral Kid and 3 by Savannah. Fury Road and Furiosa are told by History Man.

I must have watched the road warrior 100 times as a kid. For this reason I was really sceptical of fury road to the point I held off watching for years, but when I did boy did it blow my socks off. It takes the best aspects of the road warrior (which should be S tier imo) and dials them up to 11 due to as mentioned the technology and budget bumps. The road warrior will forever be peak mad max though, Mel Gibson just nailed the coolness of the character here and the final shot of him standing on the road is etched in my memory.

Also as a timeline, I think the film is set either just after the apocalypse or just before which is why it looks so different to the others, that and the budget likely had a hand in location. Mad Max 2 I enjoyed a lot more and could clearly see the similarities between that and Fury Road as I suspect Fury Road is what George Miller really envisioned when making Road Warrior. Thunderdome I remember not really enjoying as much, I've only seen it once due to that fact and yet don't actually remember much of it. So I may give it another go to see what it's like. Furiosa I haven't seen yet but I've heard is really good, not sure if I'll be able to see it cinema but when it comes out onto TV I'll definitely check it out. Also, if you want more Mad Max, there is actually a game for it. It's probably about the same age as Fury Road so it's not recent but I personally think it's an underrated game.

[@DyliciousTakes]

That’s awesome! I have seen gameplay for the game back when it came out. Thought it was very cool

[@troublewithweebles]

I had the best time watching the original Mad Max with the directors commentary. Really eye opening, guerilla film making😳🥰🍻

[@Emcfree2084]

Didn’t watch the video, just came to lol at The road warrior being under thunderdome and beside furiosa in the thumb

[@Bruhhhh10224frr]

Also mad max 1 takes place in 1984 in the beginning it says a few years from now and the movie released in 1979 and ik this bc on one of the signs it says 1984 and on the mfp symbol at their station it also says 1984

[@EpictasticJoshuaYT]

1. Fury Road 2. Road Warrior 3. Furiosa 4. Mad Max 5. Beyond Thunderdome

[@nikolaiorlov4453]

Did you really watch the first movie? They actually explain the timeline that it's when the world is on a brink of going FUBAR but not yet there. I agree it's not the best movie but it's important as to why and how Max became mad and to start the timeline. Also Max got involved with Toecutter first place because he "killed" NightRider while being a force patrol. Otherwise pretty reasonable review even though many people consider Thunderdome to be the weakest out of 3. P.S 4:42 Movie literally had gangs called "Gay Berserkers" and "Smegma Crazies"

[@Riz2336]

I think Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior is the best of the original trilogy

[@MrBensella]

its really heart breaking ot know that Furiosa is failing at the theaters... I really want this movie to succeed.. it deserve to succeed

[@quicoboy]

...everybody broke right now!...lol...dont worry, it'll be a cult classic...it could affect future projects, tho...that's why I wanted it to succeed...smh...

[@shattered5560]

S : Fury Road A : Furiosa B : 1 & 2 D : 3

[@Gulag_Express_Racing]

1. Road Warrior 2. Fury Road 3. Furiosa 4. Thunder dome 5. Mad Max 1

[@IAmSarlosCantana]

This is the correct ranking: Fury Road, Furiosa, The Road Warrior, Mad Max, and then Beyond Thunderdome

[@sketchypeoplepdx]

Thunderdome as top tier is bit off. The Disney-esque music with these stupid kids just imploded the vibe of this franchise's tone. They overplayed their hand wayyyy too early with the battle in the Thunderdome and couldn't re-capture the magic the rest of the way. This movie had it. Then lost it. The first 30 minutes of Thunderdome might be some of the best 30 minutes of all the movies. Tina Turner is a force! The final chase scene is great, too. Thunderdome is just so frustrating. They don't even know what a gulag is. Ugh. Max was in a gulag with the pigs! Being banished via horse is NOT a gulag. Ugh. Thunderdome? More like Thunder-DUD! Fun vid!

[@RobertHarr1son]

Every single person I see on the internet seems to oversee 2 monstrous plot holes in Furiosa: 1. When Rictus kidnaps her from the wives's vault, no one asks about her, not even Immortan, who handpicked her. Her dissapearance is never brought up 2. When Dementus hangs her by the arm and proceeds to slowly kill Praetorian Jack, while a fuckload of bikers circle around, she severd her arm off, takes a bike a sneaks out without a single soul seeing her. This two moments are crucial in her development as the character in Fury Road and are never questioned. What is wrong with you people?

[@dawuser]

about point 1, i don't know if you actually watched the movie but there's a time skip, the point is: most probably they searched for her, not found her, then kept living their lives, all that while Furiosa was hiding, and working in the Citadel

[@RobertHarr1son]

@@dawuser "Well; that's just lazy writing"

[@dawuser]

@@RobertHarr1son it is not, it's just not important to what the movie wants to tell, there's no need to waste 10 more minutes on explaining it

[@T--------]

The whole point is immortan joe didn't really care about her and just saw her as an object, I mean you see how he treats and where he keeps his other wives, why would he care about one who isn't even of age going missing after a day? And the arm scene: it was getting dark, dementus wasn't paying attention, the whole place was covered in sand and smoke plus the noise of the bikes would make it easier for her to escape, nobody would've imagined she would rip her own arm off, I don't know man those seem like enough reasons for me to believe it, it's an action movie first and foremost logic is hardly ever the first priority and this is true for all of these movies, why does it matter so much now? If that still isn't enough for you you could argue as the whole thing is just being narrated by a history man in the future some details might've been exaggerated and that's not exactly how her escape went, I don't know man whatever helps you sleep at night but I dont think it's that big of a deal or even a plot hole at all

[@rogerbruere2135]

Amazed you put Thunderdome in S tier. As someone whose grown up with Mad Max I've always considered that one of the weaker additions. I like the first one becuase it has an eerier and realisitcly creepy feel. If toecutter was after you, you would be worried and I think the film portrays the fear they spread across the area IMO. Repsect yours though good video. Thanks.

[@DyliciousTakes]

I just really liked the expansion thunderdome provided, along with giving max more character development. I applaud the originals use of budget to make something, but the first hour of the movie dragged A lot for me to care by the end of it.

[@trancecod]

mad max 1 is when everything started, not when it already became desolate

[@bozscuggs]

I am not trying to offend you, but your lack of understanding of 1 & 2 proves the younger generation attention spans have been ruined by iPads. Anyone that is older will tell you Mad Max 1 & 2 are the superior movies. 3 fell off. The reason why it took until the last 20’minutes for it to pick up is to show how the toecutter and his gang are vial, self harming nuts. Imagine you are in 1979 and a movie that is first of its kind comes out.. But alas, everyone is entitled to their opinions. You did a real disservice to the OG’s tho.

[@ianallan8328]

Mad max 3 was tiny bit bad didn do well in the box’s office

[@lo0ser555]

not gonna say the new movies are bad. but the CGI makes them visually really bad to me. its used soo much it has a like a wierd polish over it that not only just stands out. but also makes it look less gritty. while the old ones were very dirty and gritty naturally and it fit the universe more.

[@vjollila96]

I went to see furiosa and I was kinda bored most of time. Action scenes were nice but lacked certain impact, felt like plot and pacing jumped bit all over the place, the villain didn't feel any intimidating and felt mumbling idiot most of the time and his final monologue went on and on and on that felt like forever.

[@Gad94God]

S max max 2 A mad max B fury road, furiosa C D E F max max beyond thunder dome Need to watch furious a few more times to properly rate it and possibly rewatch the other ones again.

[@jd2161]

You have horrible taste. The first movie sucked and had no point until the last 18 mins. The movie is a d at best. #2 my ass

[@quicoboy]

...DOS HOMBRES ENTRAN, SOLO UNO SALE!!!...lol...I use to watch it in spanish with my dad...lol...it was the best when I was a kid, and it still holds up today...it's the comedy for me...lol...plus that sacrifice at the end...smh...it stays with you...smh..."why dad, why did he stay, why didnt he go with them?"...he would just hug me and kiss me...now that I have my kids, I understand dad...

[@artsolano6762]

Mad Max - B, Road Warrior - S, Thunderdome - C, Fury Road - D

[@Ashtrodude-mv6eo]

The game fall out is inspired by mad max, of course it went in its own direction still mad max inspired same with the anime fist of the north star

[@killert_7759]

My ranking 1: furiosa 2: fury road 3: road warrior 4: beyond thunderdome 5: mad max

[@timkasansky2528]

Thunderdome>>>Mad Max>>>Road Warrior>>>Furiosa>>>Fury Road. These are movies that greatly benefit of better technology to tell the story, so the early movies feel and look a bit bland. Thunderdome was an improvement but the screenplay was ass. Two movies in one. First half Mad Max, 2nd half some happy kids movie.

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

Am i the only one that thinks that furiosa was just alright?

[@Bruhhhh10224frr]

The reason why mad max 1 looks different to the other movies is because it takes when society still exists thats why theirs telephone poles and buisnesses and the mfp police force max was in is the last police force in the world before the world went crazy and the movie takes place about max life before the apocalypse

[@RonsoLp]

9:03 they are in fact different characters if you check the credits. I didn't know that either i heard it in a podcast xD

[@rKhael53]

You should rank the game as well.

[@jaybigboss2027]

It's made in Australia not Washington.

[@gavnewton77]

The gyro captain from MM2 is not the same character in Thunderdome.
