With his lighter emotions vanquished, Max embraced his darker side he broke out his MFP leathers and commandeered a supercharged black Interceptor prototype called the Pursuit Special, thereby forever more becoming "Mad Max. Ruthlessly, they ran down and murdered both his son and wife before his eyes, deaths which had an obviously psychologically shattering effect on Max, transforming him into a bitter being full of hatred and anger. But the gang, led by the cunning Toecutter stalked the Rockatanskys. Resigning from the Force Patrol after his good friend The Goose was attacked by the Nightrider's comrade, The Toecutter and his toadying supplicant, Johnny the Boy, Max left with his wife, Jessie, and infant son, Sprog, for a life of solitude in the quiet countryside. It is through the eyes of Max Rockatansky that the overall theme of the film series, the Darwinian concept of "survival of the fittest," is classically illustrated. ![]() Max, as a symbol of civilization, was a very emotional figure, whose range soared as high as laughter and comedy with friends and family, right down to fear and depression when he realized he was becoming no better than the ruthless, vicious gangs terrorizing the roads. In fact, the audience is introduced to Max as he joins the pursuit of the man calling himself " The Nightrider," the self-proclaimed "fuel-injected suicide machine." In order to stop Nightrider's rampage, Max rammed the man's car at top speed, sending it wheeling out of control, into total destruction. With the world about to crumble, Max said little and paid little awareness to his ever-growing reputation as the cop that successfully put away gangs due to his outstanding, and increasingly ruthless, driving skills. Max served as the last line of defense against the reckless marauders terrorizing the highways, driving an MFP V8 Interceptor. Maximillian "Max" Rockatansky started his apocalyptic adventure as a Main Force Patrol (MFP or "Bronze") officer, who fought for peace on the decaying roads of Australian civilization.
