Mad Max	comment	Mad Max, the first film in the Mad Max series, released in 1979, is set "A Few Years From Now" at a time where scarcity of oil is beginning to cause the collapse of civilization — law and order is barely holding on within the towns while the highways are controlled by the outlaw gangs. Max Rockatansky is a Main Force Patrol cop, held in high regard by his boss and peers, with a happy home with his wife and young son — until run-ins with the motorcycle gang led by charismatic villain Toecutter cause his life to fall apart.Made with practically no money, the film was surprisingly successful in Australia and around the world to the point where it was in The Guinness Book of World Records for decades as the most profitable film ever made.

Once he finds that Max isn't the incompetent pushover that the other cops were, he breaks down in tears as Max chases him down. The Toecutter once he's faced with Max, after Max guns down Bubba. The Toecutter then snarls and flees the scene.

It's particularly cruel because if you watch the movie closely you'll notice that it doesn't matter which choice the cuffed bad guy makes, there isn't time for him to do either: From speech to explosion is about 3 minutes tops. That said, it could be just movie time â€” not that it even matters; being in the middle of nowhere, he'd bleed to death before he could possibly find anyone to treat the wound.

The "Halls of Justice" are a decaying ruin, making the cops look like squatters more than anything else, and the civilians show open contempt towards their ability to preserve order.

Which is exactly what he was afraid he was going to end up as in the beginning of the film if he continued working in the MFP.

Mad Max / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The series as a whole is largely remembered for being the Trope Codifier of the After the End Scavenger World setting, complete with its Desert Punk aesthetic. This film, however, takes place before the apocalypse that follows. Though crime runs rampant and the police force is stretched to the breaking point, society is still very much intact. The cars are not rusted together amalgamations and the countryside is standard Australian terrain rather than inhospitable desert wasteland. This film is also the only one where the sea is shown. Max also spends most of the film as a happily married man with a lot more dialogue.

Mad Max / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: The MFP, more or less, on account of being understaffed, underfunded and underequipped, in addition to most of them being poorly trained, as well. Max and his friend Goose are more or less the only competent MFP officers shown in addition to their chief Fifi Macaffee. This is driven home in the action prologue, where one drugged up "terminal psychotic" is able to take out much of the MFP pursuit (in addition to the "rookie" murdered before the beginning of the film) before he's finally stopped by Max. It's no wonder that Fifi does all he can to keep Max in the force, as they're only able to be a half-decent outfit with him around. Lampshaded by the defaced Highway 9 Sector 26 sign at the very beginning of the film, where the "o" in the "Main Force Patrol" has been defaced and replaced with an "a," thereby turning it into "Main Farce Patrol," showing that the task force enjoys little to no respect from the public at large.

And, for the most part, Max absolutely annihilates the gang by running most of them over almost in one fell swoop. In fact, the only chance the bikers have against him is when the three remaining members of the gang, Toecutter, Bubba, and Johnny lure Max out of the Interceptor and blow his knee out and even this results in Bubba's death.

Mad Max / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Once Max quits the force around halfway through the first movie, Fifi, Roop and Charlie are never seen again. Several fans claim to have seen an alternative broadcast cut of the film at some time, which included an extra scene in which Toecutter's gang attack the MFP headquarters and kill all the survivors. However, this footage has yet to be found and may be an urban legend. In contrast, the first Fury Road comic book shows that Roop and Charlie became soldiers in Immortan Joe's army in a one-panel cameo. Contrary to popular belief, Max's wife doesn't die in the film. After listing her catastrophic injuries, her doctor nonetheless states that she's "salvageable." Because we never see her after the attack and the film ends immediately after Max goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, her fate is left uncertain. She's certainly dead by the sequel, however.

Mad Max / int_f4158af7	type	Everybody Owns a Ford
Mad Max / int_f4158af7	comment	Everybody Owns a Ford: All the bikes were provided by Kawasaki and all the patrol cars are Ford Falcons bought from the Victoria Police Department (except the March Hare, which was an ex-taxi). The Pursuit Special is a Ford Falcon GT coupÃ© with a massive (fake) supercharger blower and a fascia added to the front.

Mad Max / int_fbf08d90	comment	No Healthcare in the Apocalypse: Implied for Max's wife Jessie. She is run over by bikers and initially survives, albeit in critical condition. She is confirmed to be dead by the sequel, most likely due to the hospital's lack of resources from society breaking down.
