Toecutter's gang preying upon a mother and child The gang met their end by the hands of Max Rockatansky, in revenge for killing his wife Jessie. They were led by the psychotic Toecutter and often were engaged in road wars with the Main Force Patrol. What's your favorite Mad Max movie? For more news on the Mad Max universe, make sure to swing by here often.Toecutter's gang, also known as The Zed Runners or The Acolytes, were a motorcycle gang that terrorized Highway 9, sector 26 following the destabilisation of civilisation. Oh, and I absolutely can't wait for the Mad Max spinoff, Furiosa. Ask me tomorrow, and I might change my mind. It's hard for me to choose one over the other, but I just narrowly give Fury Road a leg up over The Road Warrior. Whereas the other three films had more of a gritty look to them, Fury Road is blasting with color and energy (the black and white version, Black and Chrome, even feels like a completely different movie without all that color).īut, the movie is just plain exhilarating. Tom Hardy makes for a fantastic Max, but what makes Fury Road shine the most is the world itself, as it's never been livelier. Nominated for freaking Best Picture, Mad Max: Fury Road is more of a remake than a sequel, and I think that works for the best, as this feels similar to the older films, but also wholly original. What follows is quite possibly the greatest chase movie ever put to film. Starring Tom Hardy as the titular Max, as well as Charlize Theron as the warrior woman, Imperator Furiosa, and Hugh Keays-Byrne as the series' best villain, Immortan Joe, Fury Road is really Furiosa's story, as she tries to bring Immortan Joe's five wives to safety, banding with Max in the process. ![]() Was Mad Max: Fury Road worth its decades long sequel wait after Beyond Thunderdome? Oh, hell yeah. On a different day, I might have put this as the best Mad Max movie, but today, I'm putting it at number two. Plus, it moves at such a brisk pace that you're given little time to breathe, and I mean that in the very best sort of way. Mel Gibson has never been better in the role as a reluctant hero, and it doesn't feel ridiculous like it does in Beyond Thunderdome. This sequel is so action-packed and balls to the wall that it still feels like the freshest version of itself beyond all the imitators. So many other films and stories have pulled from The Road Warrior, that you would think it would feel old, but no. You already know what number one is going to be now, but I seriously considered putting this at the top spot since it never gets old. It really doesn't get much better than this. But, he eventually fights to defend a community against a ravenous gang of lunatics, led by the super imposing, Humungus. In this superior in every way sequel directed by George Miller (they're all directed by him), and starring Mel Gibson, and Kjell Nilsson as Lord Humungus, Max is a broken man who fights to survive and steals this world's most valuable commodity - gasoline - whenever he can. ![]()
