Has anyone else seen this series of movies? I just finished watching Beyond Thunderdome. It may not be too high on plot, but the action and feeling to the movies is enough to make it an enjoyable watch. Although, the car fights all seem the same...a big vehicle...with lots of little vehicles around it attacking it...and people jumping between vehicles....

Anyways, after seeing Beyond Thunderdome(I've also seen Road Warrior) then I keep thinking about how cool of a game Capcom could make out of these movies if they made something like Resident Evil 4, except Mad Max themed.
 
There was at least two Mad Max games. One of them was for the NES (and pretty poor at that) another was for the PC, but due to last-minute legal issues, they changed the name of the game (though it still had Mel Gibson's likeness, post-apocalyptic Australia, fast cars and the rest of the trademarks of the series.)

Mad Max: Fury Road - what was to be the fourth installment - has been on hiatus so long (Gibson passed on it to do Passion Of The Christ) it might as well be canned.
 
Wasn't that game named road wars?

also, a car-combat game has been done, and overdone... (carmageddon series)

personally i like the second movie best.
 
Mad Max 2, i think was the best... or maybe it was the first one... I havent seen em in a long time.
 
mad max is the one that starts in the outback of australia as it is today. when he
sees his friend horribly scarred for life by severe burns, and his wife and kid get
overrun by a motorcycle gang, and he gets the cool car.

mad max 2 is the one with the gyrocaptain, and the large tanker full of sand which he drives as a distraction

three is the one with the tina turner song.
 
Thats not the Goose!

(As a silly internet thing, Bruce Spence is a good luck charm you put in the last movie in a major trilogy. He was in Episode III, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (after being in The Road Warrior), The Matrix Revolutions and the extended cut of Return Of The King. Super nice guy, him.)
 
Every Saturday the local theater plays a different cool old movie at midnight. I just saw Road Warrior on the big screen! :D Almost won the DVD during the pre-show trivia contest too, but I couldn't come up with Max's last name (Rockatansky). I knew it, but I couldn't think of it when the pressure was on. It beat the hell out of watching Episode III anyway.
 
Seeing mohawked guys in assless chaps and football pads in the Road Warrior scarred me for life.
 
I am the Nightrider! Step right up chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road right to freedom!:cool:

Those movies are classics. I think the original still holds the record for most money ever made versus cost to produce. I've read that the director literally put everything he had financially into the film, a big gamble that paid off. That was his personal camper that got smashed in the opening chase scene. The MFP Interceptors were actually ex-taxi cabs. Max's Falcon has to be the coolest movie car ever, the fake blower notwithstanding. The possible exception could be Harrison Ford's '55 Chevy in American Graffiti.

About 6 months ago I got the Special Edition Widescreen DVD of the first film. It has the original soundtrack with Mel Gibson's voice (thank God) instead that horrible American voice over.

Someone has to tell it like it is. Obviously, he wouldn't be banned unless other people felt the same way as I.
