Mad max
« on: August 20, 2013, 08:37:09 PM »
I'm showing both of these films back to back in my theater.

Part 1 is my favorite, definitely more motorcycle centric, though part 2 kicks major ass.

Can't help but to say but Kawasaki quads is the name is the name of the game in the first film, even though I saw only one Honda. 

Can't listen too deeply to the Aussies now, especially on the 450. :)

What about Goose's bike?

I thought the acting was highly effective for it's time, budget, etc. It makes it unique.

Mad Max (1979)
Nightrider: I am the Nightrider. I'm a fuel injected suicide machine. I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller!

Goose: [via radio] Max.
Max: [via radio] Go ahead.
Goose: We are 100% SNAFU.
Max: You ok?
Goose: Nothin' a year in the tropics wouldn't fix.
Max: Much damage?
Nightrider: [via radio] You should see the damage, bronze. Huh? metal damage, brain damage. Heheheh. You listen bronze. I am the Nightrider. I'm a fuel injected suicide machine. I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller! I'm the Nightrider, baby,
[unintelligible]
Nightrider: , and we ain't never comin' back!

Nightrider: The Toecutter - he knows who I am. I am the Nightrider! I am the chosen one. The mighty hand of vengeance, sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rollin' dice. Step right up, chum, and watch the kid lay down the rubber road, ride to freedom!

I liked the movie. I think there was a lot of Gay overtones in it. Gibson is actually a fine American Actor.  He was born and lived about 5 Miles from me until he was 12. his Father worked for the Railroad and left the US to avoid a Race War that never happened.
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

The Toecutter and Johnny the Boy were gay. That was blatant. Max was married and Goose was banging chicks (the Singer)...one question....Who cares ??

I just saw the movie in an old fashion big theatre.  It still holds. And all the bike scenes are wet dream for me.  There was a trailer for the Fury Road. I am not sure if I would like the new one over the original.

Thought it was bad movie the first time I saw it.  I think it's one of those movies you don't appreciate until you get a bit older and have some riding experience.

I still think the opening scene of Road Warrior is my favorite.  Wez getting hit by the arrow, peeling off and downshifting.  That's a SWEET SWEET sound.
