Mad Max (2/2) Max vs. Biker Gang - Mel Gibson HD

[@tonypalermo5796]

This never gets old. True classic.

[@Imdeadpool]

You know what’s great about this scene? Not a single word a was spoken yet you were still being told a story

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Miller really leaned into that idea in Mad Max 2, as the story goes, he edited the film mainly without sound first, then added it in, so he could tell a purely visual story first, and if you keep count, Mel Gibson only has 16 lines of dialogue as Max, but it's one of the best performances I've ever seen, it's all in the expressions. Brilliant filmmaker!

I have driven in that town and stood on that same bridge. In over 30 years, that place has changed little to none at all. Very cool to visit and see how cheap the film really was as the locations of most of the road scenes were filmed literally like meters apart.

[@TheGodParticle]

gutz1981 it's one of those rare movies that made a mountain of money. But $300.000 Australian to make the movie was a huge amount of money back in 79 Cheers.

Saw this movie at a drive in . It was the first feature. After it ended about half the people started to leave but ended up hot rodding around the outside of the parking area and two cars hit going out the exit at the same time. A fist fight broke out then. All that was missing was leather outfits and crazy hairdos.

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

steve green no they didnt what Dale (the stuntman) did was make a classic mistake when you fall off a bike you are suppose to let go of the bike..but what dale did was keep hold and what happens is the bike grabs the ground and the force throws you over putting you in front of the bike... very dangerous position to be in..as we see.

[@stevegreen9460]

interesting. thanks for the reply, was he alright after ?

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

steve green no worries mate..yes luckily he was fine..sore.. but fine..what makes it more hurtful to watch is the slow motion that's what sold it more..

[@KenjiMapes]

Amazing & groundbreaking stunt work. George Miller often used the same guys throughout his Max films. I forget his name-he was in MM2/The Road Warrior and Fury Road (his last gig before retirement). Anyway, he was one of Humungous’s bikers. He did the forward flips in one of the bike crashes in The Road Warrior. He actually gets his legs clipped which was obviously unplanned. That must have hurt like hell too. They mention the stunt in the Fury Road extras. The beauty of the Max films is that it is mostly practical effects and real stunts, and not just a bunch of special effects and CGI.

I think it is Byron Kennedy doing the insert shots wearing Gooses jacket as you can see the same elbow pads as Max sets up the fuel bomb to kill Johnny the Boy.

Wow... the thing about that first film and the thing that made it great was.... it was so close to the realities of the day. We did have those bikes, and we did have those cars, the land really is like that... and the whole film just pushed a few of those aspects over the top. The best sci-fi takes normality and just gives it a little twist where you have to suspend belief... this film is a true classic.

[@Mechknight73]

A good reason for it: When the first movie was set, it was still meant to be relatively "civilised," in other words, very much pre- WW III. Country Victoria, where much of the film locations were, is pretty green most of the time, save for if it's a really long, dry summer. Although as anyone that has lived in the state of Victoria will tell you, the weather around there doesn't tend to stick to the seasons. All the movies in the franchise after this one are set after WW III happens, so is therefore meant to be a desolate wasteland. Much of Mad Max II was shot around a NSW town called Silverton, New South Wales, which looks a lot more like the arid Outback climate that resembles a desolate wasteland
