Pull a Max move on someone, if you could get away with it?

I used to ride the asses of slow idiots with this

You think the left-lane sitters are bad in Florida? Come to eastern Tennessee. The locals treat stupidity as if it were a virtue.

Is there the same problem in Oz? Fast-lane sitters? (I reckon it would be right-lane sitters there)

one thing i never understood was why the hell they didn't get a vehicle noone cared about put a little gas in it reinforce the front, set it on fire and wedge the accelerator on and send it for that bus gate, even if they sent it flying for one of those tyre'd walls it still woulda worked, despite the ditches they dug round the edges, with enough speed it would clear the ditch hit a wall, maybe even the harpoon gun or flamethrower tower and your in, just rush the joint after that.

I could never work out why nobody went around the left hand side of the compound and just drove through the chicken wire fence in the back corner. Seemed the weakest point in the perimeter to me.

Me too, man, they just kept the entire back of the compound un-armoured and gaurded, when Max is being carried over the compound in the gyro copter you can get a good look at all the weak spots, yet the Humungus just orders his troops to keep attacking the front.
oh and those camels that live in the pens outside the Compound - how come they only get killed and dragged off after the battles obviously been going on for a while? how come as soon as the Vermin came across the fort they didn't go like "right i'll fuck you up, and i'll take your ships of the desert" - but no they wait for a while before doing it?

If Humungas imedietly (couldn't spell it) killed the animals and pilleged the place there would be no way at all that he could convince them to give him the gas. But over time after they kept on refusing the more Humungas destroyed.And even if the people in the compound could fight back or even of course blow it before Humungas got the gas and let all his gang members rape and torture the settlers.

that HUMUNGUS thing is funny, the spelling i mean - HUMUNGOUS isn't spelt like that, but in the movie and novels the actual LORD HUMUNGUS leaves out the O.

Hey Armourer, I was in Shelbyville, Murfreesboro a few months back. Beautiful part of the world. Some good lookin ladies too!

Hey Armourer, I was in Shelbyville, Murfreesboro a few months back. Beautiful part of the world. Some good lookin ladies too!

That's 200 miles west of me. I hope the ladies are better looking over there because they aren't here. It's like the casting call for the movie "Deliverence" here. The mountains are real pretty but the locals are really dumb. They treat stupidity as if it were a virtue, and they're happy that way. For example, I just blank-adapted a .45 for a WW2 reenactor and since I don't have access to the shop tools I had in Florida, I had to farm out some drill work to a local tool & die machine shop. Unable to locate stainless hex socket set screws for the bore restrictors, I was forced to used hardened carbon steel screws. To drill these they need to be annealed first. Not a big deal, but I don't have access to a torch. So I'm telling the shop owner what I need done and he asks why I need them annealed? I tell him that they are hardened and will be very difficult to drill unless he has some carbide bits. He then tells me that he doesn't know how to work a torch. I'm like, WTF?? You're in the tool and die business and you don't know how to work a torch? So I go to the other 2 shops in the area and had the same experience! And these are supposed to be the knowledgeable guys in the area. Sh*t, when I went to machinist's school, they showed us how to work the torch and judge temperature by color in the first week. How can someone be in the business and not know this stuff?
And let me add that there's nothing to do(unless you like to drink, party, and play video games). Only one theater in the county, No decent restaurants. Can't get parts-car or gun. The roads are really poor. Knoxville tries but they still aren't in the same category as Tampa or Orlando. It's not worth the drive. This is a great place to retire, but I'm not ready to slow down THAT much. I really don't know how I got talked into moving here. So, as soon as I secure a place to stay, I'm headed back to Florida.

Humungous went in the front because that`s where the cameras were

[crossbowarrow]

Perhaps the back of the refinery was more defended than it looked at the time, but we just never got a good look.
After all, we can clearly see many vehicles moving to that part of the refinery and someone did attempt to jump the barbed wire.
Remember that there several more people (and supplies) in the compound before the ensuing breakout the previous day. By that time the settlers realized the futility of the situation.
Besides, when the Gyrocaptain is carrying Max back and we do get a good look, the settlers had probably already removed whatever defences they had placed there to carry with them on their journey north.

[rockatansky4073]

maybe but ya still don't see anyone try and attack the back.
though you do see a car escape from the compound and go round the back and over the ridge chased by two Vermin, whatever happened to them? you never see them come back, you see all the others caught and carried back when the Humungus comes to make his speech, but you never see the ones who went over the back way.

Suede, I can sympathize with you about the punk at the counter, but he didn't give a damn, he's paid close to minimum wage, and doesn't care what you do to the place. You only hurt the station owner/franchiser. Next time, buy a SuperSize soda, pay for it all polite and nice, and then toss it on the wiseass counterperson. Then tell him why, and leave. If he follows you out, let him take the first swing, for the cameras, then bust his head wide open.
Bike, you're talking like this is just a movie, what planet are you living on?
Rock, I can't help but feel you're nailing me with the "Humungus" misspelling, and I'm sorry (really, as a Max fan, I should know better). But I wanted to ask you something; you say you would want to be part of Humungus' gang, but not do the raping, pillaging, dirty parts. What if that was a requirement of being in Humungus' gang? What if you had to "make your bones"? I don't think you could do it, nor stand by while others did it. And neither could anyone on this board, I think.
