Mad Max 2 Page #3

Synopsis: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max (Mel Gibson) drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders. Falling into an encampment led by the relatively peaceful Pappagallo (Mike Preston), Max at first schemes to steal their oil, but soon becomes the group's reluctant defender against the hulking Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) and his ruthless marauders.

High angle helicopter shot of the chase. The Marauders'

vehicles are strung down the highway. Only the fastest,

led by Wez, can keep up with the black-on-black.

WIPE.

6.THE WRECKS ON THE HIGHWAY. (STILL LATER). DAY.

The black-on-black surges around a wide curve, revealing

only three vehicles still in pursuit.

The first machine is Wez's big road bike, the GOLDEN

YOUTH riding pillion. It is followed by a bizarre road

racer and a strange dune buggy.

As the black-on-black crests a rise MAX is confronted by

a tangle of wrecked vehicles on the road ahead.

He swerves, slaloms through the wrecks and accelerates

into a sweeping right hand curve.

WEZ ramps his bike over the first wreck and corrects,

avoiding the other wrecks.

The road racer ramps two wheels over the first wreck but

cannot correct. It clips the second wreck. sends it

spinning, then continues after the black-on-black.

The dune buggy decides to avoid the wrecks altogether

and veers off the road to the right. It heads across

open terrain aiming to intercept the black-on-black on

the curve.

7.THE MARAUDERS CATCH UP - HIGHWAY. DAY.

A light flashes on MAX's dashboard, an alarm whoops.

MAX looks down at the fuel gauge: close to empty. He

curses and flicks a switch, cutting off the

supercharger.

The black-on-black slows ...

The DOG whimpers, crawls off its chair and under Max

seat.

WEZ overhauls MAX on the passenger side, He raises his

forearm, aiming his gauntlet-style crossbow at MAX'S

head.

MAX barely has time to glimpse the road racer drawing

alongside the driver's door.

The passenger - a GAYBOY BERSERKER - wields a brutal,

gas-powered 'gun': the heads of six metal arrows

protrude from a big barrel. This weapon is the

"Porta-pak".

MAX hits the brakes.

The road racer and the bike surge past the black car...

just as the porta-pak fires.

Two arrows thud into the black car, three go astray and

one hits WEZ in the arm.

MAX throws the black car in behind the road racer ...

WEZ, fighting to control the bike, leaves the road...

MAX changes down and hits the supercharger...

The black car leaps forward, ramming into the back of

the road racer, bullying it along.

Wheels and metal screaming, the two cars approach an

intersection littered with furniture and other debris.

A road rig lies abandoned on the roadside.

MAX eases back for a moment then flattens the

accelerator...

The black car slams into the back of the road racer...

hurling it forward, just as the dune buggy regains the

highway...

8. THE INTERSECTION. DAY.

The driver of the road racer screams as his vehicle hits

the dune buggy, spinning it like a top, sending it

crashing into the side of the road rig.
