Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Mad Max series have risen dramatically in popularity since the release of Mad Max: Fury Road, retroactively introducing a whole new generation of fans to the fire-spewing apocolyptia of the series' best scenes.
The cinematography of the scene is quite impressive for 1981, keeping up with the rocketing cars and implanting the viewer inches away from the unforgiving surface of the careening asphalt. From flails to molotov cocktails, crossbows, penumatic arrow launchers and double-barreled shotguns, both Max and the raiders pull out all the stops to survive the basest of human instincts.

Mad Max: Fury Road As great as the 80s Mad Max movies are, the fourth installment in the franchise not only jumpstarted the stalling relevance of the series in the eyes of the pop culture zeitgeist, but spewed forth some of the best post-apocalyptic scenery ever released in theaters. Impressing with its mostly practical effects, Mad Max: Fury Road carefully chose its moments to utilize heavier CGI elements.

Mere moments later, he re-emerges, carrying on his back an entire wealth of newly-captured supplies. One of the Immortan's wives remarks that he's covered in blood, only to be reassured that it isn't his. Even if it happens off-screen, the implications of Max's terrifying fighting experience speak for themselves.
