The 1979 Australian Australian Australian film “Mad Max” helped launch the career of director George Miller and generated an incredible franchise with five really distinct entries, but it is much darker than many people remind you. “Mad Max” is a Revenge Story according to a singular character, The tenular max (Mel Gibson), a Weary Cop in the Final Days of A Dystopian Australia Before the Full-Blown Apocalypse Sets in. After Max’s Partner Goose (Steve Bisley) is brutally attacked and burned alive by a biker gang, max hangs up his badge and tries to live a peaceful life with his wife and his that’s cruelly cut shorts shorts short when the same gang kill his wife. This sends it in pure revenge mode, acting like a renegade cop, and it is honestly a little hard to cook (in a purely fictitious way). There is only one small problem: certain elements of the film have been considered far too violent by the classification office of New Zealand (imagine if The MPA was a government entity) and the film was officially prohibited in August 1979, although New Zealand was the closest neighbor to Australia.

Although this ban was finally revoked (partly due to the immense popularity of the least fatty, Continuation filled with action, “The Road Warrior”), there was a period when it was illegal to detect or sell “Mad Max” in New Zealand, and it was mainly centered on what had happened to the goose.

“Mad Max” was released in Australia in April 1979, and unfortunately in August of the same year, there was a violent gang uprising which led to several injured police officers. Some gang members would have picked up the main sergeant Charles O’Hara, who has already been injured in the fray and tried to throw it into a fire vehicle, but fortunately it was rescued by other applications of order and firefighters and has not undergone the fate of Goose. If it is unlikely that anyone there saw the scene in “Mad Max” and decided to reproduce it in reality, the similarities and real problems with the violence of the gangs were sufficient for the censorship council to completely prohibit the film in New Zealand.

The ban was lifted in 1983, after the success of “The Road Warrior”, which means that there was only a four-year period when “Mad Max” was illegal in New Zealand. It may not seem a big problem, but as “Mad Max” is the first film in the franchise and One of the best films It would also have been a real disappointment for the inhabitants of New Zealand not to have the chance to see it. New Zealand has its own really great films, Including Peter Jackson’s workBut go, who wants to miss the pre-problematic goodness of Mel Gibson Cool Guy?
