2 Fast 2 Forever #460 – Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
We’re headed back to the wasteland for Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior! Our first order of business: making sense of the title variants. After discussing where this fits into the Mad Max chronology, we talk about the many things that Fast and Furious lifted from this movie (including a look back at past Fast & Furious Minute documents!). We explore the lore and fan theories that Mad Max 2 created, admire the film’s many deaths (and the freedom of having that as an option), and ask: who are the good guys? Are there good guys? We talk about action scene fakeouts and the ingenuity with the stunts – as well as where things almost went horribly wrong. In a podcast first (?!?), we make an on-air scheduling pivot!
