In 1979, Mad Max, a low budget action movie roared into the box office. Starring a then unknown Mel Gibson, Max Mad, along with sequels Max Max II (The Road Warrior) and Max Max III (Beyond Thunderdome) originated the popular post-apocalyptic movie genre.
Set "a few years from now", Mad Max is the story of police officer attempting to hold back rampant crime and violence in a crumbling dysfunctional Australia. The roads are a battlefield as motorcycle gangs control the highways while Max and a handful of cops barely hold the line. Adding to matters is the perpetual shortage of running vehicles and lack of gasoline needed to fuel them.
Fans around the world have followed the Mad Max trilogy and their numbers grow each year as a new generation discovers the films.
However, the films leave viewers often with questions unanswered.
For instance, what happens to Fifi and the rest of the Main Force Patrol after the events of Mad Max?
How did Max's car end up so different in The Road Warrior
from Mad Max?
What is the deal with Max's jacket in The Road Warrior?
Why is the Gyro Captain in II and III, but Max does not recognize him?
Lots of questions, and hopefully, this site can bring answers to even the most die hard fan of the Mad Max movies.
