![]() ![]() In Mad Max 2, it is implied that there are still coastal areas of Australia that are okay but Max (after losing his wife) is not at all interested in this for HIMSELF but is helping others to go there. ![]() By Mad Max 2, the war was either over or in its last and fatal stages. So, the war between two superpowers (presumably, the US and USSR/Russia) was beginning or about to happen during Mad Max 1 (caused by a oil-related recession maybe triggered by a regional Mid East war). ) are going on in the world, the events of Mad Max 1 are happening at the same time (quote: on the roads, it was a white line. Yes, it is obvious the world is in a severe recession WORSE than the current one obviously! BUT in the second film, it is implied that while war and/or negotiations to avoid/halt it (quote: they talked and they talked. Lack of funding for cars and having to get a millionaire businessman to try and buy Max to stay in the police.Run down police headquarters that are near ruins. ![]() In the first film, we can see that there is obviously SEVERE economic difficulties: the first Mad Max film is pre apocalyptic (apparently the back on the DVD says events of Mad Max 2/Road Warrior took place 3 years after the first movie). That means that the war happened during Auntie's (and presumably Max's) lifetime, so presumably that explains some of the difference in setting between Mad Max and the following movies. That's a pretty clear reference to an apocalyptic war between two superpowers, which had the side effect of destroying (most of) the world's oil supply. Then there's this, from the opening narration to The Road Warrior: By the time we catch up with Max again in RW, people are building forts out in the desert to keep the gangs out. Society is definitely starting to break down in MM, with gang violence out of control, but Max and his family live in a more-or-less normal town. I think it's pretty clear from the visual differences between the movies that things have gotten substantially worse between Mad Max and The Road Warrior. ![]()
