Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - Goodbye, Soldier Scene (9/9) | Movieclips

May God bless your Soul Tina Turner. One of my favorite lines in a movie, "Aren't we a pair Raggedy Man?..........Good Bye Soldier!" An amazing voice!

One of my favorite ending scenes to any movie and her tip of the cap to Max by sparing him and respecting him as a soldier. Tina will be missed here and for her body of work. May she rest in peace. Classy lady and flawlessly delivered here…love her laugh too.

[@dhunter1133]

I wouldn't say Auntie spared him. She left him in the wasteland without water, food, weapons, or transportation, and knowing that the closest civilization - Bartertown - is a place he can't go back to without being killed on sight. An optimist would say Auntie gave him a chance; a realist would say she condemned him to a slow death instead of a merciful one.

[@VladamireD]

@@dhunter1133 depends, I bet Ironbar probably had some weapons on him as he was head of Auntie's security, those wrecks might have some food/water/fuel stored on or in them, and one of those dune buggies might be salvageable if flipped back onto their wheels. I'd say it was more a power play by her, putting on a show for her men that Max is so beneath her he isn't even worth killing.

"Well... ain't we a pair. Raggedy man." I just love that line and the way she delivers it with a laugh. That whole beat after the plane takes off to her driving away is one of my favorite movie moments of all time. Something beautiful about that moment of respect between two enemies and parting ways now that one of them has won. Perfect.

She knew he was a decent man - he had every reason to kill blaster, but he didnt which is a rarity in the wasteland, and she had every to kill max, but she recognised that hlm helping the others escape to try and rebuild some kind of civilisation, is the same thing she tried with barter town - Two battered souls, that recognised the good and value in each other .

I agree, especially with that "battered souls" part. There was nothing to gain from killing Max. Just like two boxers or opposing teams leaving the ring or a field with having gained nothing more than respect for the other. Who won? Who lost? Doesn't matter, at least not anymore. "Ain't we a pair."

[@kway745]

[@mar1no12]

*One of the best endings in movie history* fades into darkness, silhouette emerges from Max's bodily figure heading onto the unknown, already seeking the next chapter, followed by a fitting ending music ....a classic!

[@phimseto]

Saw a documentary on this once that she ad-libbed the "goodbye, soldier" line, and when Miller objected, she stood her ground on it. Being that she was Tina Turner, he kept it in, and *that* was the right call. I saw this film on first release, and that moment is one of the standouts of the film and one that stuck with me down through the years. The respect, the "lose today, win tomorrow" approach, and just the casual cool of being boss enough to walk away on your terms.

[@ArvinYorro]

This is the only scene in this movie that I kept coming back to. She was bested by a man who had nothing but the clothes on his back, and there was nothing to prove from killing a downed man surrounded by your men. Its a cowardly. Auntie accepted the defeat and walked away laughing like a true boss.

[@antmagor]

It’s unfortunate that she never had another role after this movie. She wasn’t a terrible actress by comparison to others who transitioned from music to acting.

[@iforgotthenamemate]

Simple line but adds so much into the depth of character.

[@abbeypropertycare8081]

Well said

[@mookitty2396]

What a brilliant scene. The keyword is “Pair” aunty recognized max not just as her equal but as a survivor. She didn’t have a problem with him personally. It just shows she wasn’t evil. They took someone important to her plans and she chased after them. After he was gone, there was no reason to continue chase. No reason to keep fighting max. The last words. Goodbye, soldier. Shows she acknowledges who mad max is. While this may be confused with respect. Acknowledging can sometimes be more powerful. He was but a stranger looking for gas and left her town destroyed. But she recognized he was like her. Both people clinging the old ways of helping others. Her trying to bring civilization back as best as she can and him helping others. While he tries to always gain something and not do things for free at the end, he always ends up getting nothing in return. Always getting left empty handed. But he survives. He’s a soldier. Aunty realize she didn’t deal with your average fighter so she left laughing.

[@tomtom34b]

Well, I suspect that she recognized him of being a strong survivor, and maybe (if he comes around to bartertown) she can work with him again. The other henchmen that she has around her seemed rather "lacking" in comparison.

[@vulcan2519]

He softened her steel heart when she saw he was willing to get killed to save the others. She knew he did not expect mercy since she tried to execute him before, so, she knew for sure this was a selfless act, a rarety in the world of the post apocalypse, that's why she laugh at him, she was trying to show him she also could be generous, her ego did not allow her to just order him to be killed, it was beneath her to do after what she saw of him, first sacrificing his deal with her to spare blaster in the arena, and in the end staying behind at her complete mercy just so the others had a chance.

Auntie wasn't a warlord like the Lord Humongous, Toe-Cutter, or Imortem Joe. She was more of a leader with a code, who tried to rebuild her little corner of the world. There was a form of law in Barter Town. She also had a kind of respect of Max.

"Goodbye Soldier." GREAT!

[@paulastiles7428]

Yeah, it might be better to call her an antagonist than a villain. A villain is an antagonist who's evil. An antagonist is someone whose goals are simply at odds with those of the protagonist. As you say, chasing off her opponents is something Aunty Entity can work to her advantage and as she says, she can always just rebuild. Her decision at the end not to kill Max (or even punish him) shows that for all her ruthlessness, she's not evil, hence why Max looks so thoughtful, even a bit admiring, as she leaves. She's a conqueror, but she's one with an admirable goal.

[@wyldewest5613]

Leaving him in the desert with nothing for miles is torture enough. She thinks he’ll probably die slowly.

[@brfswigcham]

Respectfully disagree. Every "Mad Max" movie ends with Max standing alone in a vast wasteland. He's a survivor. Auntie knows and respects that. To her he's a soldier of this post-apocalyptic world. She looks at Max and sees herself., a survivor and soldier. Anyway, she got what she bargained for, she is now 100% in control of barter town.

I love how sad everyone looks that Max left the plane. Like they know they made it out, and they know they won, but they also know that Max had to sacrifice himself for them to win. Despite the fact that Max convinced them that he wasn’t who they thought he was, many of them were still youthful, wide-eyed kids. I feel like this moment really granted them some maturity, and probably taught them more about the world they lived in.

Did you guys realize that Logan (2017) has been inspired on Mad Max 3? Besides having an aussi actor playing the main character there is a moment in Logan when the protagonist is captured by a group of kids and gets his beard shaved by them while he was sleeping. In both films the kids think that they are supposed to leave the place and try to find some other mistic place where only good things happen, but the pragmatic and disillusioned protagonist tries to convince them to stay. It's so similar!
