What Happened to MAD MAX?!

What is the best Australian movie ever made? Walkabout? Wake in Fright? The Piano? Picnic at Hanging Rock? The Babadook? All worthy contenders, no doubt, but they’re all wrong answers. The only acceptable response regarding the best movie from the Land Down Under is Mad Max, George Miller’s marauding motorist mania that celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2024. Never mind the billion-dollar franchise it spawned, the creative ingenuity and low-budget DIY filmmaking of the original remains one of the most impressive cinematic feats on record. A true independent movie with a rebellious spirit, Mad Max was made in just 12 weeks for a paltry $350,000 yet went on to gross $185 million worldwide. The film introduced the world to Mel Gibson, who would go on to play the badass road-racing Main Force Patrol officer Max Rocketansky twice more en route to becoming a bona fide Hollywood action star. Now, with the law-enforcing legacy continuing with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga in May 2024, it’s only right to peer through the rear-view mirror and find out What The F*ck Happened to the trailblazing O.G. After all, some of the crazy production details and insane behind-the-scenes stories defy belief Wanna support us?
