Five stars. This ... ( 3 weeks ago by BentoBoxBobbyTV)

Five stars. This is the most memorable anti-hero that I liked soo much. In Wikipedia, unfortunately Mel turned down Mad Max 4. But, if he really did, then probably Joaquin Phoenix would be okay, since he looks so much like Mel. Watch "Signs" That's just my opinion, or maybe he can just pass down the old cop jacket down to Joaquin, and call him his "son."

This was the basis for "Hokuto No Ken" or "Fist of the North Star" Instead, water was more precious than gas.

"Shane" was the blueprint for Mad Max, as George Miller referenced.

The Gyro Captain ... ( 2 weeks ago by IdleDrifter)

The Gyro Captain clothing seems to a combination of necessity and daring style. He wears multi-color spandex and ragged shoes wrapped with cloth under a leather jacket topped with a leather aviation cap with goggles. This gives rise to his character, underneath all his flash he is a coward twice demonstrated by his first encounter with Max and when tries to escape the camp with the young woman. After the young woman shows regret and returns to the camp the Gyro Captain has new sense of duty.

His autogyro has ... ( 2 weeks ago by IdleDrifter)

His autogyro has many advantages over the ground based vehicles yet is an open air machine offering little in physical protection. To accurately fire bomb enemy vehicles, the Gyro Captain flies very low to hit his targets exposing him to ground fire. The Humongous even takes a shot at the Gyro Captain as he flies by with the .44. This shows the Gyro Captain's new found courage and duty to the white tribe. Though he is shot down eventually by the quad arrow, the Gyro Captain makes his way to Max.

Ok that's a diff ... ( 2 weeks ago by robag88)

Ok that's a diff take. It seems he and Max are cowards in diff ways. Gyro isn't the brave fighting type and Max is afraid of emotional commitment to a cause other than his own survival.

True, though they ... ( 2 weeks ago by IdleDrifter)

True, though they do have redeeming qualities. Gyro finds companionship with the settlers and fights to protect them as does Max. Max does develop a trend of trying to protect others so they do not share in his fate. This carries over into Beyond Thunder Dome as he tries to protect the abandoned children from themselves, naïve to the world around them while not realizing the little paradise they have. Max's use of contracts ends as well after being screwed by Barter Town.

I agree with you on ... ( 1 week ago by FIIB4EVA)

I agree with you on the Gyro Captain, I don't think he's a big a hero as he's said to be on this vid. Trying to leave the night before a huge life and death situation doesn't ooze bravery and the only reason he stuck around is because of that woman. It's clear earlier in the film that he is obsessed (and with good reason) with what he misses of the old world including "lingerie" and "clean women".

This film has one ... ( 1 week ago by revel80)

This film has one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. Outstanding cinematography as well. One of my favourite moments is when Max sets out from the compound carrying the gas on his back. As he reaches the top of the hill the camera pans across the outback horizon at sunrise, and the whole scene is perfectly complimented by Brian May's score. That bit never fails to make the hairs stand on the back of my neck. Some real beauty in this film amongst all the brutality.

In the US it was The Road Warrior. In the UK it was Mad Max 2. I figured I may as well cover both titles in one.

i dont beleive that the gyro captain was behind filling the tanker with sand, papagallo had this idea and gave his life to save his people

i dont agree, ... ( 2 hours ago by sausageslaps)

i dont agree, fisrt off he wanted max to drive that tanker, he saw max as a disposable tool to ensure his peoples saftey, he knew that max was so objective driven that he would not stop until the tanker was incapable of moving any further, this gave the other plenty of time to escape. the gyro captain is simply an opportunist who took advantage of the fact that these people were in effect leaderless without papagallo
