Mad Max/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Mad Max

  • "The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go."

The Road Warrior

  • The climatic chase as Lord Humungus' horde pursue the oil tanker driven by Max. Arguably the most memorable part of the entire series.
  • The Gyro Captain getting the drop on Max when they first meet, looking to steal the gas from Max's Cool Car. Max tries to trick him and reach for a weapon under the car, but the Captain is smart enough to figure "A fellah, a quick fellah, might have a weapon under there." And then Max's dog gets the drop on the Captain.
