Action that never stops, decent commie themes, very original story, and amazing effects. I guess they didn't need to make the main protagonist a white dude, otherwise it's the one film I can watch again and again.

Am I allowed to post links pirate sites or is that banned??

Apparently George has described Max as not really being a person, but rather a folk hero character whose tales are told around campfires. "this is the story about the time Mad Max went to Bartertown, where he met Masterblaster and helped him escape Aunty Entity." "This is the story about the time Mad Max met Furiosa, the great Imperator, and how he helped her overthrow the warlord Immortan Joe." Like he's the frame narrative, the perspective character a bard uses to introduce the real story. /

That's also so the movies don't have to adhere to strict continuity. The first Mad Max movie was not quite the apocalypse yet. One character even casually buys ice cream at a store and there seem to be functioning highway police. By the third movie the apocalypse had happened so long in the past that no one remembers anything different.

I am a huge fan of ditching strict continuity. I see continuity and "the lore" becoming more and more of a straight jacket for storytelling, with teh result being bizarre, incoherent stories as writers and artist contort their narratives to try to keep them in line with in some cases generations of authors with different beliefs writing for different audiences in different cultural moments.

Yeah, its sort of a throwback to lone gunman type westerns and ronin/samurai flicks. Just a dude trying to exist and getting caught up in other people's shit.

Zatoichi literally any time he tries to do anything.
