  • I grew up watching this movie and living in central Victoria discovered most of the places Mad Max was filmed ,this scene is just out of Sunbury Vic and a lot of landmarks are still there today,if you take a DVD you can play it and pick out exact spots where they filmed,I'm a bit obsessed but a boy needs a hobby! besides my 78 Z1000.

  • Does anybody else notice the sound is different in the dvd version of this scene. Like many others I grew up with I'd memorised all the dialogue just from watching the movie 1000's of times. I distinctly remember him going "Careful my ankle! My foot man!" when Max drags him by the handcuffs as if that was the worst thing he had to worry about. I really hate it when little hollywood nerds sit in their offices and fuck with our national treasure.

  • fuck tom hardy, fuck remakes, fuck hollywood. all they make is garbage and they will utterly destroy this movie, i will never watch it. this is a classic movie, it cannot be remade.

  • fell the power of my sawn off!

  • SICKENED! the dvd i just bought is the american dub. this is much better with their natural voices

  • @vAmpyr616 Go into languages and select "original austrailian".

  • @itsconnorstime cheers mate!

  • A metaphor for the criminal justice system's treatment of the mentally ill?

  • I am 28 yrs old. I remeber watching this movie with my dad when I was a kid and then again when I was 17 we watched it together. This is the 5th time I watch this movie. And I feel so jelous of my dad generation they got really good movies and music when my kids ask me for a movie what I am going to give them Fast&Furios IUCK that's for pussys compared to Mad Max man is so hardcore.

  • YOU'RE MAD!!

  • Johnny wasn't there as the Toecutter gang killed Jessie and the baby. As for me Max is just a murderer just like the whole gang of the Toecutter gang was..

  • @Doublespazer

    That's kind of the point. The movie isn't endorsing his revenge.

  • Wow !!!

    

  • Sugartits

  • Tom Hardy, pah! bad choice...

  • well what i dont understand same reason in saw you can cut the chain, the ankle, or and i dont know why they cant think of this but you could try and cut the metal the cuff is cuffed on. Looks pretty old and rusty to me, he might be able to go threw that and slip the cuff off and walk away.

  • @Gizmo2703 thats 3 leaf springs its cuffed to. hi-strength steel with a bit of surface rust.. it would take hours and a few saw blades to get thru that!

  • The End Of The World ,music, please listen:

    youtube.com/watch?v=YWjg1jujUY­­­8

    thank you!

  • Did the ankle scene inspire the Saw 1 opening scene?

  • @HardCaps12 Well, the end of Saw 1 really. It also inspired a scene in Watchmen (not the movie, though).

  • @kungfooligan Thanks for referencing the Watchmen scene :D

  • @kungfooligan what scene from the watchmen r u talking about.

  • @PMST415

    In the graphic novel, not the movie, Rorschach handcuffs a somebody who killed a child, tells him the saw will not cut through the handcuffs in time, then sets the house he is in on fire. Rorschach waits outside; leaves the house.

  • @HardCaps12 not really, you must be young.....

  • " I wanna know what you're doing!" CLASSIC!!!!

  • Accion, reaccion y represion!

  • No veas como revento y quedo el hermano del jinete nocturno debajo del tractor jajajaja buena cicatriz en mad max dos....

    Do not see as a trap and I am the brother of the Night Rider under the tractor jajajaja good scar on mad max two ....

  • I choose option three........tie my scarf to the saw and throw the hacksaw at the death contraption. Peice of piss

  • @keflar5 You wouldn't be able to think clearly in such a dangerous situation.

  • @balistik94 of course you would, its simple

  • @keflar5 And by throwing the chainsaw you could tip the smashed headlight and spill the gas on the lighter, thus accelerating your death.

  • @balistik94 If he couldn't hit as target that big then he deserved to die...................oh wait he did deserve to die. Its the best thing to do FACT the risk is there but could be worse

  • @balistik94 that wasn't a chainsaw,it was a hacksaw.

  •  A MAD MAX remake? NO WAY!

  • I met "Johnny the boy" at the Mad Max reunion at Randwick Ritz Cinema in Jan 2010.He was still alive & walking ok so he must have cut through the high tensile handcuff chain rather than his ankle! LoL.

    The Toe cutter, Jessie, Fi Fi, Goose, and all others (except Max who was in rehab at that time!) were all there signing autographs and chatting.

    It was fantastic night. If you want to see photos of the evening go to google and search for "popcorn taxi TV Mad Max the reunion".

  • Comment removed

  • i am partly ...yank and i understand it. this guy didnt actually kill his family

  • I really hope Mad Max 4 never gets made. Im a huge fan of the trilogy but all these new sequels and remakes that have been coming out in the last few years are all terrible. I dont want to see Max get ruined.

  • "Now if your lucky, you might be able to cut through your Ankle in 5 minutes!, but alternatively, you could reach round and blow out the fuse in 1 minute"

  • While I do agree that Mad Max is badass, I find it almost too fast paced and it's not really MAD MAX until the last 10 minutes :P

  • in retrospect the guy should have just cut throught the rusted out metal that the shiny un-sawable cuffs were attached to. Crazy guy wins! well maybe he couldn't cut through those leaf springs very fast....

  • @high0nfire - 5 minutes for his ankle vs 10 minutes for the handcuff chain vs the better part of an hour for the leaf spring... which would you take?

  • in retrospect the guy should have just cut throught the rusted out metal that the shiny un-sawable cuffs were attached to. Crazy guy wins!

  • SSSSSSS

  • OH MY GOD! Don't bring this on me, man! I mean..my ankle or the handcuff chain?!? You can't be serious! I mean what a choice!!! Help me! Which one?!? Even though I could take off my jacket and toss it over the lighter flame and put it out before the gas runs over and be waiting in ambush with a crowbar when you come back down here...but geezus not like this! You can't kill me like this!!!!

  • @Agundis1825 Wasn't close enough to the flame.

  • @MayaMoonside 2:24...he could SEE it....he knew what was gonna happen...you can breath hard and snuff a lighter out...its not like it was a flaming torch ya know? :P Not saying I didn't like the movie...just mocking ol' Johnny Boy....

  • Que se joda el cabron...

  • why would he saw through his ankle when he can just saw the hand-cuff chain? haha

  • @freaker126 Because Max told him it would take too long to cut the chain. From the looks of it, he didn't even have enough time cut through his ankle before the car exploded.

  • @kungfooligan Nah, looked like he had a solid 6-8 minutes.

  • @freaker126 'couse of max statement, it would take 10 min to cut trough the candcuffs but only 5 to cut trough his ankle!

  • @freaker126 hawe you ewr sawed high consentraded steel?

  • @salamix100 hve u?

  • @freaker126 you REALLY think a HACKsaw could cut through steel that quickly. Max even EXPLAINS this

  • 0:05 - :07 on Cape Fear 12 & 8:10 - :12 on Cape Fear (1991) - Part 13

  • I WOULD OF SHOT U FIRST U CUNT REMEMBER THAT

  • "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

  • i trought send on the light!!!!!!!! and after all time for cut my foot!!!! :)

  • Of the three movies, I always preferred this one just because of how fucked up it is. The first Mad Max in my opinion did not hold back on any level. As much as I love the Road Warrior, I don't really see how it's the superior sequel everyone claims it to be. That's one of the things that disappointed me about it. With all the hype, I expected it to be great which it was but I still felt it lacked something. The third film on the other hand is not the best but not the worst either.

  • Better with the native accents.

  • i would have just cut trough the part of the car that i was cuffed too. since it is dead mild steel, which at best. is only iron. . .

  • @MCrex007 through the leaf springs? good luck with that...

  • mad-max being remade and TOM HARDY is to play max cant wait

  • @lotofhate Tom Hardy is an awesome choice for Max, and I'm glad George Miller is directing, but I'm still not sure if it's a remake, reboot, or just a sequel. I've heard conflicting reports, but I'm excited anyway! With Inception, Batman 3, and now Mad Max, Tom Hardy's career is exploding.

  • @lotofhate MAd Max should never be remade wow, you suck and anyone thatn wants a new version, damn you all suck

  • @JLCStudioProductions fuck off and grow uo you faggot its only a movie 

  • @lotofhate I actually wouldn't mind if they remade this movie. I like it alot the way it is and there are some things which are pure amazing like Mel's performance, the jaw dropping camera work in the action scenes, the delightfully crazy villains and this ending but I will be the first to admit it isn't perfect. For instance it could have had way more action if you ask me and the dialogue while fun is also kinda cheesy at times.

  • @lotofhate i am sure that remake will be full of cgi shit and worse than the original series

  • @lotofhate when is it coming out?

  • @GamesForLife123 2012 he will be in mad max and he is playing bane in batman 3 dark knight rises

  • @lotofhate tom hardy will be the bad guy gibson will be back as max

  • the place where this is filmed is about 5 mins from my house

  • @HamishW96 That's so cool! I'm from the States, but I've always wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand to see the beautiful sites from all the movies filmed down there. I heard Mad Max 4 will be filmed at Broken Hill later this year.

  • great ending, it shows how he loses what left of himself, and becomes a shell and the inside of him is empty

  • Somehow to this day I can still quote the whole line of Max hacksaw speech. Definitely my favorite scene where he give Jimmy a karmatic justice.

  • The Classic to start all Classics

  • I know its just a movie, but the way gangs are now I think it would be good for them to get a wake up call like this. Its good to see the police given a movie like this because they really are heroes.

  • How could he kill poor Johnny the Boy?

  • The next Mad Max film won't be the same without Mel Gibson. Everytime the lead character in any film is re-cast it usually fails unless it's a reboot which part four will not be.

  • What did.... what did you say??

  • のこぎりでクルマのパーツを切ることはできないの?

  • @seirodate 車の板バネに手錠をかけられたので、カナノコでの切断は相当むず­かしいと思います。御存知のとおり、板バネはかなり頑丈な金属な­ので、短時間での切断は不可能です。手錠のクサリ部分を切断する­のがベストの方法だと思います。自分の脚をカナノコで切断すると­いう選択肢もありますが、激痛で気絶する可能性があるので、あま­り良い方法ではないですね。

  • greatest film of all time and that final scene were he is to hack through his ankle inspired the film creators of the SAW series

    first scene bathroom two guys chained by there ankle with a hacksaw each

  • I would have thrown my OTHER shoe at the lighter, and hacked through the chain - ten minutes later. Free!

  • And thats how SAW series started

  • All growing up, I had been told and believed The Road Warrior was the best movie of the three ( although I don't even consider Thunderdome of being in the same sentence as the other two), but then I just saw Mad Max recently. How wrong I was. Mad Max is off the charts. The Road Warrior (while a really good action movie) almost comes off kind of cartoonish in comparsion.

    Without any doubt in my mind, the first Mad Max is the best one in the series. The most real, heavy, and moving by far.

  • I can remember that the yanks dubbed this great movie with American voice actorsts instead of the original Australian voices, because they probably couldn't understand them or don't like Australian accents...

    Kinda stupid if you ask me, I can understand Australians and my native language isn't even English..... Yanks (sigh)

  • @mitrooper I'm American, and I can understand it just fine. I think it's more of a marketing thing than a communications thing. Unfortunately, people are more likely to see a domestic film than an imported one. Unfamiliarity can hurt sales.

  • @kungfooligan Actually it was because they couldn't understand it, it is revealed in this video interviewing the cast of Mad Max, the question in particular regarding to the dub starts at 8:10 of this video in quotations "watch?v=LMn7MX0ItnM&feature=r­elated" The entire interview is interesting, but that section is relevant to the post. My opinion is the American version is rather comical and is stupid, the Aussie version is far superior.

  • @mitrooper I was a very young kid when I saw this movie, and I made the same observation. I remember asking "Daddy, why are they making the Aussies sound American when they speak the same language as us?" and my dad saying "Umm, I haven't the faintest clue"

  • @mitrooper= I prefer the Australian accent, and I'm American. I've watched alot of British and Australian entertainment, and I understand it just fine. I'm still working onAustralia though. I'll get it eventually.

  • @mitrooper they did that so more people would see it and come call me a yank u wouldnt sigh afterwards i can say that for sure

  • @mitrooper "Us" Americans love, LOVE Australian accents you're clearly a troll, get lost.

  • @mitrooper

    I'm an American and I HATED the dub. The Aussie accents are so much better.

  • @mitrooper another american hatin fool....funny n complexed bunch.

  • ''the chain in those handcuffs is high tensile steel, it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this,now if your lucky you can hack through your ankle in five minutes, Go.'' best qoute in the movie.

  • I wonder in the new upcoming Mad Max movie: Fury Road if Max returns back to the 'society' that he left behind at the end of the first movie? It would interesting if he did. I'm hoping that the fourth movie will be a cross between the first and the second movie.

  • @yethboth That's a good question. I'm just wondering if it will ever get made. I know they have a script and a cast and everything, but this isn't the first time they've tried to make Mad Max 4. Besides, the actor playing Max (Tom Hardy) will be pretty busy, since he's playing Bane in the next Batman movie. I hope they find time to make Fury Road! I'd love to see Mad Max ride again.

  • @kungfooligan the should get mel gibson to reprise the role. he's already mad, how hard coul it be to play the max bit. really though, he's a great fucking actor.

  • @yethboth The society that he left behind in the first film doesn't exist any more. There was nuclear war after the events of Mad Max 1, the effects of which are shown at the end of Mad Max 3 when we see that Sydney is totally destroyed. If the fourth film was to take place with any sort of normal society, it would have to be set between Mad Max 1 and Mad Max 2.

  • Owned lol!!!

  • I would have cut the handcuffs not the foot.

  • i watched this movie and still dont get what makes it so epic. i just know that its epic. maybe because it was one of the first movies to show a post-apocalyptic future. thats why i like it.

  • even though max had gotten his revenge, it still wasnt gonna bring back his family and that he now has the blood of his foes in his hands now

  • @squall600 his wife didnt die tho in this movie it was only the baby, his wife was just bad injured

  • mad max is the shit. they are all great movies

  • This first movie had such a strange, unsettling atmosphere-even more so when you watch the version with the dubbed American accents. It's also very claustrophobic-even though a lot of it is filmed in those great wide open spaces.

    The background in the scene where Goose and Max have stopped a couple with a three wheeler and side car reminds me of a Van Gogh painting.

  • I remember reading that the original idea for beyond thunderdome was to have Johnny as the first contestant that Max fought against, he was to be like "oooh, I'm gonna get you for taking my foot" and then max is all like punch, punch, punch KO.

  • @BillyCauseyjr :0 whoa, really? Where'd you hear that? I heard that the first script for Road Warrior had Humungus turn out to be Goose, who was horribly burned. It's funny how they had all these ideas, but the movies ended up being barely connected.

  • @kungfooligan

    But as I was a kid I always thought that Humungus realy is Goose...

  • @kungfooligan

    I doubt that was ever really considered. I mean the Gyro Pilot and Max don't recognize each other, let alone a guy he tortured years prior.

  • @BillyCauseyjr no offense but beyond thunderdome was fucking shit it completely drifted of from the storyline ihn comparison froma the last two films be4 it and should of been set out like the first two aswell as the type of landscape

  • The first Mad Max was the only film that Mel Gibson ever looked hot in. After this he pretty much aged badly, and his skin's been looking baggy around his face for like decades now. What, was he 40 when he did this movie or something?

  • @jrmetmoi Too much alcohol and the good life.

  • @jrmetmoi 23 dumbass

  • @DEACONFROST11 Yeah? Well whatever lady! His skin soon after he did Mad Max said that he was 40!

    Hey Mel your skin called, it wants its sunscreen back!

  • @jrmetmoi The man is a millionaire do you really think he gives a fiddlers what you think?

  • @DEACONFROST11 Exactly my point! With millions you can do something about your creased up skin man! Care about at least the EYESIGHT of fiddlers!

  • mad max is the fist jijsaw killer

  • SAW movie idea was born here

  • Johnny the Boy looks like Adam Ant.

  • @freemandiaz He really does.

  • I think he could have thrown the saw at the lighter??

  • @hunkgod true, but then how would he be able to cut himself free?

  • @cardshark420 Ha, true. Die of heat stroke or cold or something..

  • Saw sucked. That trick with the hacksaw worked so much better in this movie.

  • is that adam ant playing johnny the boy?

  • @tony No son,the original white Europeans are the Basque.Dont believe me? Look it up

  • analize shit ,,its about a guy whos family was killed by idiot drug infussed bikies and he wants revenge

  • I watched all the way through until this bit it was an ok movie until this, this made it epic :D

  • I forget, what did the guy do to make Mel want to kill him?

  • @reevesdamn he killed his family and friends including his baby son and dog

  • I always laugh when people call this the boring "least action filled" of the trilogy They obviously missed the whole point of what this was supposed to be. Thank god that enough people got the point and that I can be reassured that the world I live in is not as lowbrow-dumb as the modern studios would like us to be. Popcorn anyone?

  • Damn thats gangsta

  • Ok, I'm gonna say it.

    I was disappointed by this movie.

    Not enough action and story was pretty bull.

    The begging was interesting but it became a little too... boring. the pointless scenes about his family and the synopsis was act 1 and 2. act 3 was stupid.

    Why did the wife go alone again after the incident? why didn't Max stay with his wife? Why aren't they even showing any signs of anxiety after the wife was being harassed by a gang?

    The movie started out good, ended bad

  • Someone told Mel that Johnny is Jewish.

  • @Pudgyplumber now thats funny

  • Well, considering that they mention this scene on the Saw commentary on the uncut edition...

  • I concur 100% that this scene inspired Saw, although, It's pretty subtle compared to Saw. Anyway, this is one of my favorite movies.

  • I miss Mel Gibson.....

  • JOHNNY IS A BAD BAD BOY!

  • "hey man this isn't what it looks, man." lol

  • "hey man this isn't what it looks, man." lol

  • Brillant conclusion of a great actioner.

  • Johnny got what he deserved ...with foot or not...

  • lol saw moment " cut off ur ankle or die"

  • And Mad Max 4 will probably be just a load of shit like Star Wars The Phantom Menace....

  • Comment removed

  • MEL GIBSON WAS SO HOT!!!!!

  • Mel is so good in the role of Max. These are probably my favorite movies of all time.

  • "i... want to know what you're doing?!!!"

  • mel is a hero

  • i would do the same ..... get over it

  • Maybe he hacked through the leaf spring?

  • Obama

  • Psychopathic, you know, personality disorder!

  • The importance of the scene is that Max lost his humanity and became the same as the monsters he was fighting. Something he alluded to earlier in the movie when talking to his chief.

  • @ultimatenate Bingo. Mad Max is about a man trying to stay above the savagery of a chaotic world, and losing everything because of it. Mad Max 2 is about a man too embittered by his own loss to re-enter society. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is when that man finally regains his humanity and redeems himself through a selfless act.

  • @kungfooligan What society? It has all collapsed by then!

  • @LordoftheKaty Maybe "humanity" would be a better word.

  • @ultimatenate You are wrong. Only humans hold grudges and seek revenge. Animals do not seek revenge. Revenge, wanting to revenge a wrong, is what makes us human. It is part of humanity.

  • @ultimatenate

    don't you think this movie had so many flaws after Jimmy got blown up?

  • Johnny is a jew and this is why Mel is persona non gratia in Mulholland drive

  • Inspired a scene from The Watchmen anyway 8P. Especially the actual comic I think.

  • @OptimisticCynic715 Yup. The hacksaw bit wasn't actually in the movie. Rorschach kills the guy with a meat cleaver instead. However, when Ozymandias is monitoring the world news from his headquarters, you can see Mad Max 2 playing on one of the screens :p

  • @kungfooligan Though I haven't read it myself, I've read on the net that the graphic novel actually does use the hacksaw angle, with the house set on fire (copyrights?!). Also, in the movie when the perp (Grice?) says "man", I think it sounds very similar to Johnny in the American dub version (this clip here is the original Aussie audio, isn't it?).

  • @OptimisticCynic715 Yeah, in the comic, Rorschach chains the guy to a radiator and sets the place on fire, giving him the option of sawing his hand off or burning. Pretty gnarly.

  • @kungfooligan Possible even inspired saw?

  • @OptimisticCynic715 Mad Max inspired Watchmen, not the other way around. It predates the comic by seven years.

  • hey he didint kill gosse hes boss say to him to take him on fire but he didint want but he culd have ben killed

  • kill that ...

  • hahaha the original Saw

  • @kungfuhooligan

    Johnny was not even there when the bikers run Jesse and Sprog over. You can see only 6 bikes in that scene, not seven.

  • Johnny did not deserved was Max did to him. OMG, Johnny was just a poor guy.

  • @Doublespazer But Johnny raped a girl earlier in the movie and set Goose on fire. And even so, he was still present when they murdered Jessie and Sprog, so that makes him an accomplice in my eyes. Now I'm not saying Max's actions are justified (murder never is), but his feelin
