Actor Hugh Keays-Byrne has played not one, but two great Mad Max villains. The original Mad Max from director George Miller (Happy Feet 2) was shot for a tiny budget, but the movie's depiction of society collapsing combined with Mel Gibson's charismatic performance and the high-octane chase sequences made it a surprise hit worldwide. It didn't take long for Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior to come together, which upped the scale considerably, featuring even more intense chases and a fleshed out, post-apocalyptic world that would be massively influential on other movies.
