Without Mad Max, motorcycles in the movies would simply not be the same. It was not only a low budget movie that became a massive hit (with a budget of $350,000 and gross of over $100m it was the Guinness Book of Records’ most profitable movie for over 20 years) but it also launched the career of Mel Gibson and spawned both a franchise and bike-rich movie genre that’s still hugely popular today. Mad Max, released in 1979, became just as famous for its dramatic action using real biker gangs as it did for its vision of a post-apocalyptic wasteland that’s remained popular ever since. It’s 40 years since one of the most iconic and influential biker movies of all time hit the silver screen.
