Talk:Mad Max in popular culture

Merger

The information provided here should be merged into the Mad Max (franchise) page, as it details information related to the entire series. Jabberjawjapan (talk) 02:11, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. It should be trimmed back to what cane be sourced and then that slimmer article would make a decent section in that article. (Emperor (talk) 04:44, 29 December 2011 (UTC))

Uuugh.. no, I created this page because the many references people found to the movies (or thought they found) just got out of control in each of the articles. Check the discussion pages. These types of references would pile up until it got out of control, prompting someone to go into each of the Mad Max pages and delete them wholesale. About a month later, the whole thing would start over again. Repeat ad nauseum. With a separate page, it's easier to maintain these references on their own instead of having to bang on the main Mad Max pages all the time. Please see the histories of all the pages before weighing in on this--it was a real problem and this page as really made a difference. If you want to patrol this page and removed unreferenced sources, go ahead--that's what the page is for. Ommnomnomgulp (talk) 18:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

I don't know. I think both articles are small enough to fit together. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it would be preferable to relocate the content here into the articles for Mad Max, Mad Max 2, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Mad Max: Fury Road considering that this article only discusses the films.

Aquabats

The band The Aquabats have a song called Radiation Song that mentions elements from Mad Max II. Things such as hockey pads, razor boomerangs, and the humoungus. It should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.87.162.4 (talk) 03:59, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Carmageddon

The car racing game series carmageddon features many references to Mad Max. Especially the red yellow and blue car "Enforcer" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.167.210.69 (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Outlander (Game)

The Outlander video game for SNES and SEGA Megadrive/Genesis was originally supposed to be called "Mad Max", but rights could not be held before release. The gameplay is all inspired by the Mad Max and Mad Max 2 films. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.173.160 (talk) 06:50, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Pursuit Special in Fallout 2

The second Fallout game also features a driveable car that resembles Max's Pursuit Special.

Pursuit Special doesn't exist in Fallout 2 in any form. The only usable car in this game is Highwayman, it has classic 50s design (tailfins, etc.). Nosachevd (talk) 12:57, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

The Last Continent

Wasn’t there a chase scene in Terry Pratchett’s The Last Continent that’s a nod to Mad Max?

The Dwarf character in it, is called Mad, for heaven’s sake … ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuddy2977 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

The Amazing World of Gumball

In The Amazing World of Gumball:

Episode "The Pizza":

"The outfits that the residents of Elmore were wearing is a reference to Mad Max 2 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."

Episode "The Possession":

"The chase sequence over the refrigerator parodies Mad Max: Fury Road."

Damnation Alley

I think this movie also influenced Mad Max car aesthethics and setting. Mirad1000 (talk) 17:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
