Mel Gibson was 23 years old when he starred in the first Mad Max (1979). How did he do it, lads?

Society is crumbling DURING this movie and that’s more rare in a movie than it should be. Is there any other movie out there that nails the collapse of society feel like this one?

You can shut the gate on this one Maxie! She's the ducks guts!

Don't get me wrong it's a fine movie. I just don't really get your post.
He's not exactly doing Jackie Chan tier stunts or doing some super intense method acting. About the most challenging thing he did was act sad that his family died. Which is just acting 101.

I'm guessing you just wanted to talk about Mad Max and just wrote some random Yea Forums phrase even though it doesn't really make any sense?

Never said anything bad about the quality of the movies, they are great, as is Mel. I just don't get the whole "how did he do it part". I mean he just acted. It's not rocket science.

>watching this shit as a kid on vhs when ur not allowed.
What fucking biblethumper home did you grow up in? I watched Mad Max and a bunch of other movies of that era with my dad when I was like under 10yo.

First one isn't very good. Second and third are great. t.

Mad Max is really fucking weird. i was expecting a movie with a post apocalyptic desert but instead its just normal Australia

It is kinda funny how the whole Australian desert thing kinda influenced all other post apocalyptic settings even though it doesn't make much sense.
If anything it should be the opposite, the world would be green as all fuck if humans fucked off for a while. Even if we nuked everything to hell and back.

I'm 1 year younger and I still look like a teen. Men back then were hight T as fuck.

his character didnt require much range and he is a natural at doing very intense behavior, where you suspect he is bordering on crazy

AN HERE OI AM TRYIN TA PUT SENSE TO IT

Movie had no budget

One of the cars destroyed was even owned by the director

What actually happened to the Mad Max world?
In the first one it just seems like society collapsed slowly, but by the time of Fury Road and the video game it seems the entire planet has been rendered unlivable and everyone has descended into complete barbarism and insanity, even the fucking oceans are dried up

The implication in most post-apocalyptic scenarios is that nuclear radiation kills everything

Isn't part of the lore that water is scarce due to a changing climate? Although now you mention it, they had to film Fury Road in the Namib Desert because the part of the Outback they chose had received rain and undergone a massive desert flower bloom.

Retard. A Boy and His Dog did this first and it was road warrior and fallout combined.

Didn't realise he was so young here. Looks completely different than most men. Pure testosterone makes him look like a full grown man

The main one was the oil running out. And presumably the wars for the limited resources that followed.

Which is just kinda silly.

Maybe. Can't remember.

Yeah, but Mad Max is what popularized it.

I think I remember reading somewhere or something that the explanation for first movie that they came up with before Fury Road was something like in the first one it was just a resource scarcity and then somewhere in between the first and second they had a nuclear war that destroyed the environment

>quadrilogy
The new Mad Max had nothing to do with the old ones.

lotsa seething /pol/cel itt

fury road isnt canon, fuck off

fpbp. It does not. The second one does kinda. And so does the third one, kinda. But it's a terrible movie by any means. It might've been right for it's era, but the world is different now. Aussies did not have a tradition in movies and this one might've been something different for it's time. It's had a huge influence, there's no denying in that. But T1 blows it to smithereens. This movie looks like it had a $45000 dollar budget. And then it would've been justifiable. Mel had a babyface and didn't look attractive or charismatic in this at all. The story was good though. I would've preferred to have read the book, if there was one. This aged like a white woman and you know it.

>make retarded statement
>defend it to the death
YIELD

He looks a lot older than 23

Holy fuck he looked 40
People looked so old for their age before

What statement? I made a lot of them.
Are you referring to the whole A Boy and His Dog thing?
If so, do you seriously believe it started the whole post-apocalyptic trend of the 80s and not Mad Max 2?

First movie definitely seems like a setting where the government has failed but the people still cling on to their local infrastructure that is somewhat maintained. But maybe it's just a small part of the world where things are better as they say something about Max wandering off to the wasteland.

Agreed. It probably was due to aussie movie industry being much smaller. In a way it reminds me of the movies of that era from my own country. They have this similar kind of low budget amateur feeling to them.
>Mel had a babyface
I was surprised how young he looked as I rewatched it. The difference between the first and second movie is huge when it comes to his looks.

How the fuck is that 40? He's just squinting in that picture.

"Yes"

Furthermore that miserable piece of shit harlan ellison also wrote basically the terminator and the matrix IN ADDITION to mad max and fallout.

that was considered a babyface in the 70s?

Yeah yeah yeah I get it

>tfw got asked for ID at 36

Yeah, but was it a book based on the movie?
I see his picture on the cover, which does not bode well. All I'm trying to say is, the story is really great. Short but sweet. You could pitch it in three sentences. And then the movie tells the rest through imagery.

Nah it's one of those novelisations

I agree it looks pretty dated by today's standards, Road Warrior holds up though, probably due to the massive success of the first one

>The film initially received a polarized reception upon its release in April 1979, although it won three AACTA Awards and attracted a cult following, while its critical reputation has grown since.

God damn
So that’s why when I go to an english speaking country people think I’m 14 even tho I’m 25

if you honestly think the 3rd movie is better than the first you are the definition of a pleb

Try not to OD on that sweet onions. Yes, this is when he got mocked for not looking like a man. He might look 40 to you in that picture, but he was perfectly able to unscrew a bottle of milk I can assure you.

No wonder it's held in such high regard. The story and the look are incredible though.' An ex-cop who got his wife and kid killed, now walks the badlands in search for fuel.'

2024 AD. WW IV hast turned the earth into one huge desert. A boy named Vic finds an underground civilization with help from his telepathic dog. Vic falls in love with the Underground leaders’ daughter. The leader finds out and wants Vic to knock up his daughter because his people are infertile and doomed.

Sounds like a good story, but it's from 1975. How is the movie? I see it has Don Johnson, which is always a bonus.

It is literally road warrior and fallout and pretty well shot.

go back

But you also ruined the pacing for yourself. Its still good. Vic isn't a hero like Max. He's actually a huge piece of shit.

I'm a year older than what Mel was then and I'll be 25 in a couple of months. Yet I still look like I could pass for 16 or 17.

Fuck, I'm sick of constantly getting ID'd when I buy booze.

I agree.

Mad max 2 is fucking kino tho. Still looks good

While I agree, I think this is why the film never felt like it fit the others. The world we find in the other two movies seems to have been long desolate with everything left over looking like it was ages old, not the 10-15 years this timing suggests. You can make it fit, I guess, but it doesn't feel right.

It predicted the end of the USA, just replace the ethnicity of the bad guys.

people who don't like Mad Max 1 are gay

Can't find it on dvd. But I'll keep it in mind. It won the Hugo Award in a time where it still mattered, so I'll be sure to look out for it.

Its public domain on youtube breh youtu.be/5BDxqhI9qDw

Mad Max 1 is awesome. It’s very much an exploitation film unlike the latter 3 films which makes it more inaccessible.

>You can make it fit, I guess, but it doesn't feel right.
I think they reimagined a lot of the background story between 1 and 2. I works better as a one off movie while 2 and 3 feel more related to each other. If you take 1 as the crumbling civilization then the tribe of kids in 3 doesn't really make any sense.

By not wasting his time on Yea Forums.

What does any of that shit have to do with Mel being 23 at the time?

Fury Road was awesome. Never seen the others btw.

Third one was a turd. Seemed poetical that the movie was about a town that ran on shit. Third one had thunderdome, Masterblaster, Bartertown, Tina Turner, The plane. The tribal kids part seemed to drag to movie down in the pacing, and the story was nonsensical as well. It only got good again when they got back to Barter Town. I can see that there needs to be a slowing down in the middle of the movie, but it was not in function of furthering the story. The whole Tribal kids part didn't add anything to the furthering of the story. It was terrible writing, really. But the last part, more than made up for it. It's a memorable movie, but I'm just not as vehement about defending The Terminator movies as I am about The Mad Max movies. There only ever was one good one, in my eyes and that was the second one. And the first one was needed to set it up.

>post apocalyptic wasteland

*vehement about defending The Mad Max movies as I am about defending the terminator movies.

Fury Road happens after Thunderdome. The original max is somewhere else and is as old as Immortan Joe (which was just Toecutter all along).

The kid from the second movie? That's Max from Fury Road. Notice how the interceptor was destroyed in the second, but somehow there's another v8 interceptor in fury road. That's a different car, built based on what the kid remembered about Max Rockatanski.

The first feature length multi-reel film in the world was the 1906 Australian production called The Story of the Kelly Gang.

At that time dystopian future films were popular in Australia, Mad Max being the most popular, they were rated R for violence and so were hardly main stream big budget blockbusters.

>I think they reimagined a lot of the background story between 1 and 2.
This was my feeling too. So it kind of became a new thing with II where the world was much more desolate and devastated, and where people had regressed to very primitive states. The crazy people you saw, you could believe they were born into the world like that, but not so much that just 10 years or so prior they were mailmen and accountants. Too fast of a descent and feels like this

Triggered the man from Down Under. Nice to see you take a stance.

For a low budget action movie from the 70s it's fine

It's Australia, V8s are in their blood.

Also, Mad Max 1 isn't post-apocalyptic. It's getting there, but the big boom hasn't happened yet and society is still roughly a thing.

Watch it now gay boy

Other movies like this besides ?

Not everything is shitposting you know. I thought this was a good recommendation, so I bookmarked it. Which means I value your opinion. There's a point where all this banter gets tiresome. Sometimes you just want to have a beer and relax.

I am having a beer. I'm pressuring you to watch utmost kino, not "shitposting". Learn to take some ribbing you girl. Are you familiar with Ellison's shit? Besides a boy and his dog he is basically responsible for terminator and the matrix with his (very) short story I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and his outer limits episode Soldier. A Boy and His Dog is fantastic. Fallout 2 is also my favorite video game so maybe I am a bit biased but its very good and influential. Watch it gay boy.

you just gonna knuckle down on that shit huh? No I did not watch Ellison's 'shit'. And 'basically responsible' makes me scratch my hair. I wish you had no mouth. And I know about Soldier and Fallout 2. On the off chance you're not 'pulling me gurdles' (thats how you talk over there right?) I'll read this again tomorrow with a sober head. Shrimp dicked shark eaten cunt (It's the best I could do).

Ellison did not write a boy and his dog, its based off his stories for blood and vic. I Have No Mouth and I must Scream is again a (very) short story, nothing you would watch. Its unbelievable for you to not know of this honestly especially using Yea Forums. You talk like an unbelievable faggot and cameron had to pay off ellison over terminator.

Nice. You can see how much of an impact it has made and how it has become ingrained into popular culture. Kid these days might not know about Mad Max, but it's aesthetic has been influential throughout the Western World for sure.

When it comes to moviemaking, I'll have to reread this thread to understand why exactly this was important. The first movie was the first of its kind, yes, but it still was a piece of shit movie.: Sound, Mel, editing, You can see that there was no money. I'd rather rewatch 'El Mariachi' than Mad Max, but that might be down to personal preference. Mad Max 2: that was the good one.
