The Mad Max saga is one of the greatest in Hollywood history, as each of the five entries in the series is worth watching for their novel experimentation. It’s often that Hollywood franchise films tend to get less exciting after multiple sequels, as the intention becomes more focused on creating merchandise than making artistically compelling stories.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome creates tension by showing the crowd’s enthusiastic response to the Thunderdome, as they are eager to see the new group of combatants ruthlessly and brutally killed. Traditional morality does not apply in the realm of the Mad Max universe, as the characters that survive have to do so by their sheer force of will and perseverance alone.
One of the most haunting moments in the original Mad Max comes when Toecutter threatens his enemies with an oddly poetic phrase about the night sky. This served as a great transition to the more eccentric and haunting villains that would eventually make their first appearances within later entries in the series. It also showed how someone like Max could “go mad” when dealing with the inherent cruelty of his experiences.
5 "I don't want to wait ten years to tell you how I'm feeling about you right now, do you know that?" Max Rockastansky - ‘Mad Max’ While it's a franchise that would eventually succeed because of its amazing visual poetry, the original Mad Max is actually quite effective as a romantic drama.
One of the reasons Immortan Joe is so intimidating in Mad Max: Fury Road is that he literally believes himself to be a god and uses his control of the world’s water supply to make his legions completely subservient to his every command. As both the creator of future generations through his sexual slaves and the administrator of resources, Immortan Joe is arguably the most powerful character in the Mad Max universe, putting pressure on both Furiosa and Max to finally bring him to justice.
