THE ROAD FREAKING WARRIOR! He barely said any words, but you just want to root for him. The world got even crazier, more depressing and more leather buttless chaps apparently 😜 Watching this makes me want to watch Fury Road again now that i’ve seen the inspiration.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to Mad Max 2 on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

djKENTO

And that’s not the name of this movie hahaha

Stick Figure Studios

For my money, this is still the best entry of the whole franchise.

Bill Maurer

Great, great movie !!!! This movie was Mel Gibson's explosion onto the world cinema.

FranciscoGios

I’ll let the title pass Cassie 😆

MrKsummer7

It's Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior

Just Plain Bob

Agree. And the next one is far and away my least favorite.

Cole Jennett

“Channel is going to hell” - Popcorn in Bed😉

Nick Ireland

You really should watch Furiosa - the sequel/prequel to Fury Road that came out last year. It's excellent.

Stick Figure Studios

I wasn't too enamored of it myself, but Cassie might like it. it has many fine qualities and is worth seeing. I would still recommend it to anyone who has seen all the other movies and wants to complete the series.

Nick Ireland

Yeah I think if she's on a Mad Max vibe and wants to re-watch Fury Road, it would be a shame not to check out Furiosa too.

Ted Whalen

This is a great movie! This was definitely my favorite one of the series.

MrKsummer7

"Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tanker. You want to get out of here? You talk to me". Watched this in the theaters when it first came out, became an instant fan. The Road Warrior is one of those films, you can watch over and over and never get tired of it. Glad you finally saw this one Cassie, and leather buttless chaps were a thing back then. LOL Umm actually No they weren’t, thank God

Scott Macaulay

This is the one. The Mad Max that really inspired the post apocalypse aesthetics we see so much in other things. A stoic warrior, a hockey mask villain, and a feral kid. 😂. Gonna enjoy watching this again with Cassie.

djKENTO

annnnd fixed.

Patrick Flanagan

Don't listen to the naysayers, the third movie MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME is also great.

Above Average Dave

Angry Maximilian The Second: The Warrior of Earthen Surfaces Paved and Unpaved. As it were. If you will. Per se.

nick bell

This movie was a huge part of my childhood

nick bell

And I always only knew it as The Road Warrior.

Benjamin Gerrald

Been waiting on this one. This one and thunderdome are the best.

K, Zachary

My gf Eva is waiting for me to get home to watch this. I am on my way

Jason Henderson

I know it’s not your natural genre, But it’s so much fun to watch your reactions to movies like one Cassie! It really makes reliving them over, with respect to your own opinions ! So much fun! 🍿👍

Night King01

This is where we start to see a pattern for what George miller did with the subsequent films in the franchise. Everything he did in this I think he did better in Fury Road. In many ways the Road Warrior seems like a blueprint for Fury Road. Im sure you’ve seen Happy Feet but you should watch his other films like Babe which he wrote and Babe 2 pig in the city which he also wrote and directed.

Andrew Taylor

fury road rewatch but in your home cinema?

Bill Maurer

When & where did Cassie get "BDSM" into her vocabulary ?? PS: nice hair ribbon 🎀

Mitchell Jones

This was my introduction to both Mad Max and Mel Gibson, one of my all time favorites, a while back I read that originally Lord Humongous was supposed to be Max's friend Goose but something made them change their mind.

Mannygogou

"Remember lingerie?" the Gyro Captain asked of Max... in one of the quieter moments...

Shad Kanyak

Beyond Thunderdome is weird, but you get Tina Turner. So that’s a win.

Stick Figure Studios

Well, as one of the naysayers, I would disagree with that. I think she should listen to me... although I do think she should still watch it.

Coleton B.

Fury Road with Carly in the Theater!

Matt Rose

I still can't believe that nobody was killed while making this movie. Just fantastic. FURY ROAD is excellent but you can't top the pure metal crunchiness of THE ROAD WARRIOR with the crazy Aussies just throwing themselves into danger.

Choof

After you watch the 3rd one, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, i second what i saw below, Fury Road in the theater with Carly

Mike Lemon

"He barely said any words" The average script has 1 page of dialog per minute of the movie, this had 8 pages.

Rosario Cicero

It was great until those stupid annoying kids showed up

MikeLL

I do believe that The Road Warrior was a quantum leap in film making and film editing over the first movie. And it was reflected by money making gross and popularity also. But you don't have to be done with this world yet, Cassie, there is a second sequel, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985) with Mel Gibson to watch. Get there! Let 'er rip!

Uncle Phoenix

After Cassie started singing Lose Yourself; I think that it’s a sign. So it’s 8 Mile.

Mike Lemon

"Does he have butt-less chaps?" ALL chaps are 'butt-less', if they had a butt, they would be pants. But yes.

Matt

Hope you also watch Furiosa

Matt

You mean "Butt yes" 🤣

K, Zachary

My gf kept asking me if the dog died which I eventually told her so we had to forward past that part. She said she saw this along time ago and didn't remember. Other than we loved it. Seriously the guy in the Friday 13th pt 5 mask, seriously was on my nerves. Yes Beyond Thunderdome which stars Tina Turner, is a good one. Well they are all good but only one inspired California Love: https://youtu.be/N0VdRLdg2ng?si=lH2RR_eBWePVuhS- Great reaction Cassie, we loved your outro

John A

Cassie onto MAD MAX Beyond Thunderdome (1985) I agree with you, The Road Warrior,. was better filmed, but Mad Max had more of a story. I remember this movie only titled 'The Road Warrior" at the time, since the first one was not really known here in the US. Then people went back and saw the first one and they retitled this one MAD MAX The Road Warrior.

Rick Williams

Yes. This movie is so out there. But it works. You can't look away. I have always liked this movie the best. That may be because I saw this one first when it came out. The first one didn't come to America until years after this one. This one fired my imagination. I see you liked the butt-less leather chaps. FYI all chaps are butt-less. They were all the rage back in the 80's. JK. This one was more entertaining than the first. You liked it. But you miss romance. You always look for a love story. It would have been nice if Max could have found some romance. Great movie. Great reaction. Cassie, I love watches the old movies from past with you and watching you discover them. Thank you for making my weekend. Now I have to go rewatch your reaction to Fury Road.

Rick Williams

Fury Road would cause Carly to watch most of it from under a blanket.

Rick Williams

Yes. That shocked me. Utah must have changed since I lived there.

Walter

One of my favorite bits of trivia involves the dog. The dog was incredibly friendly and was very fond of actor Bruce Spence, who played the Gyro Captain. It caused minor issues with the dog being virtually unable to bark at and be aggressive towards the actor. Miller solved this problem by clever editing techniques that give the impression of hostility between the two. For example, in a scene of the Gyro Captain fighting with "Dog" over a snake, it's visible that "Dog" was actually playing with the actor, but with help of over-dubbed barking and slight editing it gave the impression that he was attacking the Gyro Captain.

Walter

I definitely like The Road Warrior best - it's also the one I saw first. But I also like Mad Max, and I really enjoy Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - which you really need to watch, to finish up the Mad Max trilogy. Mel Gibson has undeniable screen pretense.

Walter

I think one of the reasons action guys like Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, and Mel Gibson are so popular is that they play beat up real good. What I mean is they are tough guys who can still play that tough guy vulnerability. They convincingly take a beating and persevere.

Wally Hartshorn

Is this the closest Cassie has ever come to dropping an F bomb? :-D It definitely deserved one! Great reaction, as always!

Chris Breisch

Cassie, you're so funny. You're always looking for the love story and the sappy ending. After what Max has been through, he's a loner. He'll never go off and join a tribe or find a new wife and kid. He's not trying to find any of that. He's trying to find himself.

Tyler Hale

One of the greatest sequels of all time.

Jay Davis

This too was my first Mad Max. Watched the real first one some time after. So, like most, I imagine, it holds a special place with me.

Mike Lemon

Remember who told the story, it will answer some questions if Thunderdome is ever watched, where someone else is telling the story. Also, Weird Science can now be watched.

Clay F

Great action. Interesting demeanor with Max. That was the "worst montage" in being disturbing/gross. As for the two movies, I like this one better than the first for two main reasons: (1) this is better production; and (2) the first has bad or annoyng acting that distracts me me. With that said, the first provides a good backdrop. This was released as "MAD MAX 2" in 1981 in Australia and then released as retitled "THE ROAD WARRIOR" in 1982 in US (I was 18). Thus, the movie will always be The Road Warrior to me. Me and my friends loved it at 18 when released. I've rewatched a couple of times over the decades. On this rewatch, I remembered characters and several of the scenes.

Richard Maurer

Cassie: RRrraaaaa!! Cassie: you should edit that out. Me: Please do not edit that out!

Richard Maurer

Never thought I’d hear Cassie say BDSM I like the first Mad Max more than any of them, but for different reasons than you like it for, Cassie. I like that the first movie is less polished, more “underground” feeling than Road Warrior. I also like that the Toecutter’s gang is weirder than Lord Humongous’s gang. You asked what these gangs are - they’re Orcs, just think of them as Orcs that look like humans.

Richard Maurer

Not nearly as good as the first two, but she should see it. It’s worth seeing once.

Richard Maurer

Maybe this will help certain people to stop treating her like she’s an 8 yr old……but probably not.

Richard Maurer

. - LotR in her backyard with her neighbors.

Richard Maurer

One guy broke his leg (the one who flew end over end) but that’s it.

TheSingulatarian

The film that launched a thousand bad Italian knockoffs.

Clarence Newman

I just hope he moisturised after climbing over that rusty tanker.

Clarence Newman

And Vernon Wells got several splinters in his butt.

Clarence Newman

Stitch Jones is the Ayatollah of Rock n Rolla. Time for Heartbreak Ridge, Cassie!

Philip Alan

Nothing will ever top your first watch of Fury Road. NOTHING. (One of my favorite reactions from you) There is no need for a rewatch for the channel (by all means rewatch without us). Just follow up with Furiosa! :)

Chitown Livingston

There is only ONE Road Warrior! Mel Gibson! The Feral Kid and the Gyro Captain are the best! Next up? Auntie... Captain Walker... and Thunderdome! You'll probably also like Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

YodatheHobbit

Dude! Looking so cute with that side pony tail! Also, thanks for not editing out that "RRRRRRRAAAAAARRRGGG!". It was fun. Also also, you've seen one of the actors in this, Bruce Spence, in a lot of things without him standing out, but where the role requpires a tall slender actor. He was the Mouth of Sauron in The Return of the King who Aragorn cuts his head off, The Utapauan man Obi-Wan talks to in Revenge of the Sith ("Greetings young Jedi!" "There's no war here, unless you brough it with you."), as well as lots of small parts over the years in big films.

Uncle Phoenix

When Max was down to one shotgun shell.

Richard Maurer

That’s ridiculous. Like how Rings of Power tried to “humanize” orcs by giving them wives and children. Tolkien’s orcs weren’t civilized, they killed each other for little reason, eat other intelligent beings, enjoy torture and killing. They’re not family men just trying to make a living.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Road Warrior came first. Lord Humongous is the original Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!!

Richard Maurer

That’s why they were so angry, their butts were chafed all the time.

Rick Williams

Road Warrior is the best of the 5 movies made in the Mad Max series. But they are all worth a watch.

Mojo One Thousand

Ummm, Cassie what was the only thing thing that was said in the first action scene?... I didn't quite hear it. Pants can be butt-less, however chaps are inherently butt-less, as the would usually go over pants or legs to protect them. I saw first saw this when I was too young for it to be appropriate, and the boomerang to the forehead stayed with me for while. I think this is better than the first, the scale was a bunch more ambitious. Also, lotsl of familiar faces from Aussie TV at the time The cinematographer was Dean Semler, who went onto win an Oscar for "Dances with Wolves", and he has done a bunch of other stuff that would be familar to Cassie off the channel, such as "Date Night". However, one of his that has come up before as a good October movie is "Dead Calm". The lady that was trapped on the side of the tanker is "Virginia Hey" and she has appeared on the channel before in a very small role in the "Bond " movie "The Living Daylights", one of the two of Dalton's "James Bond". Vernon Wells "Wez" with the mohawk, plays unhinged pretty well... can we Arnie's "Commando"? Vernon Wells has another scenery chewing performance in that, and is at the top of my list for "so bad it's good" movies.

Clarence Newman

+1 for Commando. Epitomic of the 80s action movie body count race, but just silly enough not to be harrowing for you.

Clarence Newman

Vernon also plays the bad guy in "Inner Space" (1987). Fun little movie with Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan.

Clarence Newman

Also worth noting that "Ayatollah of Rock n Rolla" is one of the many names the announcer reels off for Apollo Creed in Rocky IV (just before Drago puts him in a blender.)

Mojo One Thousand

Martin Short is also in "Inner Space", it comes up in the comments from time to time.

Clarence Newman

I watched it last week, Mojo. I'm not a great Martin Short fan, but the film holds up pretty well.

Uncle Phoenix

49:53 “…You got One shot, One Opportunity…”

Joanthan Skidmore

My order would be: Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior, Fury Road, Mad Max, Furiosa....................................................................................... then a far distant last, Mad Max 3 Boyond the Thunder Dome, as its rubbish!

Richard Maurer

So I guess Apollo Creed wasn’t the real Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla, not if Drago “put him in a blender”.

Steve Mercier

One of my favorites from my childhood. Watched it again a few years ago, and it still holds up: the lone cowboy drifter who shows up for his own benefit, but winds up saving the town. My tastes have changed a bit since then, but not so much: Fury Road and Furiosa both are among my favorites now. Good stuff.

Nolofinwe

Don’t worry Cassie . His good heart and his bad side keeps him alive and makes him an Anti hero .( Just like Han Solo he thought he was a bad guy too) But now it’s time to watch the best of the Mad Max saga. “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”

Gray

well according to the popcorn request she's watched all the fifty shades so that'll be your answer haha

Gray

Commando for sure, I can see Cassie repeating Arnie's oneliners. I mean who can resist.

Gray

Such a great film I can't imagine how many times i've watched this, so any excuse to watch it again if fine by me. I'd be up for Thunderdome, it's not a good but it's still entertaining.

Larry Darrell

I think I gotta go with Road Warrior as my favorite. The stunts, the crazy villains, the good tribe folk, the man that doesn’t want to be the hero, but has to be the Hero, the stunts… and that Epic Chase! (And how can you not like Feral Child) It’s a Western film. It’s a Samurai film. It’s a Knight’s tale. It’s a Classic Hero tale. It’s a tale as old as time. What’s not to like. (Except maybe the Assless chaps… but hey if you’re gonna wear leather in the desert, you’re gonna need some ventilation. Right :-) It was cool to see you, Cassie enjoy this… even with the worst montage you’ve ever seen. (I never noticed how satanic that seemed until I saw your face. You could tell what you were thinking. That was a classic moment ;-) Someone ought to make a short out of that. There’s been a film that I wasn’t sure how you’d take to, but after this, I’m even more curious of your reaction. The film, released the same year as Road Warrior, is… Escape from New York (1981), directed by John Carpenter, starring Kurt Russell. PS: Some may not be too enthused about you watching the 3rd Mad Max film. I still have a nostalgic fondness for Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), as I’m sure others do too. But, I gotta say though… there’s a chance that Beyond Thunderdome could be your favorite. I am interested to know, which of the 3, you like most.

Larry Darrell

Who you talking to… Billy? ;-)

Larry Darrell

It could be from, In the Folds of the Flesh (1970). According to her Letterboxd, she’s been doing some extra-curricular activities. ;-) Richard… how did you get her to watch this? :-)

Larry Darrell

Is one of the neighbors named Mr. Body? If so I’m there.

Larry Darrell

Just read all the comments… No one mentioned Mel Gibson eating dog food again. Riggs and the dog biscuits. (C’mon!! ;-)

Richard Maurer

lol, if I could “get her” to watch a movie it wouldn’t be that one.

Richard Maurer

I thought it was funny how grossed out Cassie seemed by this. Like eating canned dog food, even in an apocalyptic wasteland, was just too disgusting to contemplate.

Larry Darrell

I work near a factory that makes dog food sometimes. When you first smell it, it smells like a good country stew. Then after a while, it starts to smell “off” a little bit. I’m sure if I was starving though, it’d probably smell and taste like the best thing ever.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, I’m not looking to eat dog food, but it would be better than starving.

Larry Darrell

That’s ok Cassie. I’m sure someone close to you, who loves you would keep some canned beef stew labels and some glue handy. ;-)

Matt

She has reactions to both 😊

My_Cousin_Mose

Fantastic movie- certainly better than the original. I still say Fury Road is better. It just took the best parts of this movie and turned it up to 11. Almost pure action and a masterclass in visual story telling. But The Road Warrior overall has a fuller story. And the ending was done far better in this film. Max went out like a complete badass in this one. You have no idea what happened to him but I'm sure he made it. The Gyrocaptain stole the show in my mind. His one sided bromance with Max was so funny. Speaking of did anyone else notice at the end of the movie the Gyrocaptain suddenly had pretty good dental work done? Just a little mistake no big deal. I'm super picky so lately its been a lot of old PiB rewatches. This one I was excited about and your reaction did not disappoint. Except maybe I wish you had not suppressed the urge to rap. Cassie its hilarious that you think Max and the girl in Lacrosse pads might have had a thing. I mean maybe, who knows. Its just funny.

Jason Mangen

Time for Two men enter one man leaves.

Richard Maurer

When you’re starving, normal foods can taste like fine dinning. My family lived on mostly potatoes for a month because my father couldn’t find work and was too proud to get food stamps. I remember a box of Kraft Mac and cheese and some frozen strawberries tasting like the best meal I ever had.

crazyivan

Road Warrior is the best of the original 3...but don't forget about the cameo appearance in Weird Science (1985) at the house party..."Can we keep this... between us? I'd hate to lose my teaching job"....

Larry Darrell

Totally! I am beyond thrilled that she saw this before Weird Science. Getting her to watch things in the correct order doesn’t happen too often around here, no matter how much we try.

JPDotCom23

Hahaha that's actually the first time I've heard her say the F word, that was awesome, lol
