Max reluctantly agrees to let Furiosa and the Wives accompany him. Max engages in a fight with the women and steals the Rig, but its kill-switch disables the truck. Waking up after the storm, Max sees Furiosa nearby repairing her Rig, accompanied by the Wives who are cleaning themselves with water and removing fanged metal chastity belts from their bodies. Max escapes and restrains Nux, but the car is destroyed by the Rig. Nux, driven by Joe's indoctrinated belief that dying in battle will take him to Valhalla, attempts to destroy the Rig by making his car explode upon impact on the massive truck. Furiosa then drives into an approaching sand storm to evade her pursuers, but as a result is discovered as a traitor by her subordinates and turn on her. However, the Imperator and her still oblivious War Boy escort are able to successfully repel them. Meanwhile, a battle ensues between the War Rig and wasteland rivals of The Citadel, called the Buzzards led by one of their own mini War Rigs, after Furiosa enters their territory. Nux also joins the army with his 'lancer' (wingman) Slit, as well as Max strapped to the hood of his car, to continue supplying blood. Joe leads his entire War Boy army in pursuit of Furiosa with his son Rictus Erectus, in addition to calling on the aid of his allies in Gas Town and the Bullet farm, led by The People Eater and The Bullet Farmer respectively. However, Furiosa begins driving off route, alerting Joe who realizes that his Five Wives ( Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Courtney Eaton) - beautiful and healthy women specially selected for breeding - are gone. Meanwhile, Imperator Furiosa ( Charlize Theron) drives her heavily-armored War Rig to collect gasoline in nearby Gas Town. Designated as a universal blood donor, Max is imprisoned and used as a living blood bag for a sickly War Boy called Nux ( Nicholas Hoult).
Max ( Tom Hardy), a former MFP officer, is captured by the War Boys, the army of a tyrannical cult leader named Immortan Joe ( Hugh Keays-Byrne) based at a now rare aquifer called The Citadel. Reader's discretion advised.ĥ0 years after the apocalypse, Australia is a desert wasteland and civilization has collapsed. It’s such a shame they went the next step with Mad Max III: Beyond Thunderdome, which moved away from the car theme, the one thing that makes these films resonate with all who love classic Aussie muscle cars.Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. VERDICT: 5/5Ī fitting sequel to the greatest Aussie car film ever made.
#MAD MAX 2 CAST MOVIE#
Great characters, fantastic action, iconic cars – Mad Max II has it all and deserves its inclusions in greatest movie lists.
Then there’s Virginia Hey’s smoking hot Warrior Woman, the righteous leader of the compound, Papagallo, with his twin 351-engined buggy, and the Feral Kid with his lethal boomerang and limited vocabulary. The genius of this film is George Miller’s vision of a post-apocalyptic dystopia, not to mention a brilliant cast of characters, from The Humungous and Wez to the Gyrocopter Pilot and the paraplegic mechanic, who gets one of the film’s most memorable lines: “Last of the V8 Interceptors – a piece of history. The original XB from Mad Max was modified and is featured in the close-up and interior shots in this film, while a replica was made for the chase scenes and was blown up as part of the movie. There are a bunch of classic cars among the 80 used in the film, and the keen of eye will spot a pink 1959 Desoto, a couple of Valiant Chargers, a Monaro with a front end that looks more at home on a Willys, a ZG Fairlane, a Landau, a couple of F100s, a VF Valiant, an XA coupe, a chopped up HQ Statesman and a Customline. But a shot of NOS, and a chrome exhaust stack, brings about the tragic demise of that wonderful XB.

The rest of the film is about how Max tries to outsmart the gang, so he can get in and out of the compound with full tanks of gas. Leader of the gang is The Humungous, who looks like he had a nasty accident with a pot of boiling human growth hormone as a toddler, and his lieutenant is Kawasaki-rider Wez, with his male pillion bitch, who Max narrowly avoids in the opening scenes. Trouble is, the nastiest bunch of no-good villains this side of Broken Hill (where much of the film was shot) were also in the queue for a tank of guzzoline, and Max had already managed to get them off-side earlier in the film. When he foils an ambush by a gyrocopter pilot, Max learns there’s a heavily defended refinery churning out fuel, and he’s just got to have some, which is the basis of the film. The thing that keeps him going is the occasional run in with the more organised riff raff who have the same life goal of finding fuel to keep them going. Yep, life couldn’t get peachier for ol’ Max – blasting down the road, scavenging for fuel and living on dog food.
