Toecutter's gang riding motorcycles in Mad Max

Summary The original Mad Max movie provides a poor depiction of biker gangs and violence, according to a former Hells Angel. Released in 1979, the first film in George Miller's Mad Max franchise introduced Mel Gibson as the titular Mad Max Rockatansky, a police officer turned vigilante who sets out to stop a violent motorcycle gang. Other than Gibson in the lead role, the cast also includes Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne , Steve Bisley, Tim Burns, and Roger Ward.

Matter broke down the scene in Mad Max when the motorbike gang runs a riot in town, which is something he's never personally seen. As a couple attempts to escape, the gang pursues them on bikes and attacks them, which Matter says doesn't happen without a reason for it. Overall, he rated the scene a 2/10 for realism. Read his full comments below:

Mad Max Is Much More Realistic Than Matter Lets On It's Set In A Dystopian Future Close While Matter also reviewed scenes from Sons of Anarchy, The Bikeriders, and Hells Angels on Wheels, Mad Max is unique since it's set in a dystopian future, which Matter doesn't even seem to be aware of.
