Lord Humungus demands you view the Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
When not unleashing his dogs of war, Lord Humungus was getting pampered outside of the make-up trailer!
What I particularly enjoy about this picture from The Road Warrior is that it looks like it was something snapped by one of the crew members and stored in some basement somewhere, found only when rescued from a flood… hence the water damage on the pic.
Forget the recent round of tabloid fuss and remember when Mel Gibson could do no wrong and had to take out this bad, buff, gravely-voiced mo-fo!
Here’s the pic:
Thanks to Apolonio for digging this up and sending it over.
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare, the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes pic of the day features a sailor enjoying a stroll through the streets of New York! See ya’ tomorrow!

ZINGGGGGGGG

ZINGGGGGGGG

that the water damage adds to the photo

He posted a bunch of these on some Mad Max forum. I can't remember the name of the site, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Lord Humungus demands to be blown before the jacuzzi!
by grandmufftarkin
"How dare you, you puppy!"
-
And yea long live Mel!
-
.... and you can put a stop to all this..... just walk away and I'll spare your lives from covering me in all of this crap.......
-
Road Warrior is freakin awesome. Lord Hummungus is second only to Darth Vader in terms of villains that made me wet my pants as a kid. I always wondered how he got his face burned - in a car wreck? Today's Hollywood would show him without the mask. Miller left him concealed which made him far more effective.
-
to my prom. Chafed a little.
-
and found this in my grandparent's basement, I wouldn't know what to think.
-
"And put some Dom Peringnon in my trailer. I'm a fucking star."
-
...like Jane Lynch applying the spray to Lord Humungus' hand...
-
does in his private life. I loath this superficial media bullshit criticising him, like none of them have ever done anything wrong in their lives. End of the day Mel gave me Mad Max, Mad Max 2, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Gallipoli, The Year of Living Dangerously, The Bounty, The River, Lethal Weapon, Lehtal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 3, Lethal Weapon 4, Air America, The Man Without A Face, Maverick, Braveheart, Conspiracy Theory, Payback, Signs, Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto. Sign me up for his Leo Viking epic and fuck all the smug Hollywood do-gooders who criticise him and drop him off their Hollywood radar.
-
Just sayin'.
-
Especially with films like this - which create such a heightened, extreme state of non-normal in the story - it's fun to see the humdrum, everyday routine of making it.
-
... from the makeup trailer!
-
... fucked everybody's eyeballs out when it was first released! Fantastic film!
-
... that the Mel Gibson created by South Park would be significantly less crazy than the real thing?
-
oh the loss...
-
just over the weekend and i guess this is one of those movies that you had to have grown up with or least seen back when it was new. because yeah, i dont get the status its gained. but there are many movies i have seen and grown up with that i know for a fact i wouldnt like otherwise so no judgement kiddies, just an observation. :p
-
What the hell? Okay, it was Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, but still... And there were no whites in Boyz n The Hood. What's your point? Maybe the blacks were too smart to stick around the outback after the apocalypse. Perhaps they all moved to South Central. Are there a lot of blacks in Australia now? Besides Aborigines, I suppose, and they're not really black, are they?

Just Walk Away! One of the most iconic villains ever!
by snake foreskin
My dad and I would do "Just Walk Away" bits for years after that movie came out. Whenever we saw something we didn't like, he'd look at me and do his best impersonation (which was hilariously bad) of the Humongous. Classic!
-
"Aborigines are not really black"? Then what are they? I'm not trying to be racist, but if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...
-
..I'm sure the Road Warrior had a few.
-
kewl
-
...he's going to get raped by a pack of ni**ers, And he will deserve it.
-
is black? I betcha Westley Snipes thinks Denzel Washington is a white-ass honkey.
-
In fact Australians say, "black fellas" instead of aborigines. Their culture is awesome and like you said, they are too smart and crafty to get involved in a gas war in the Outback. Hence no aborigines in Mad Max and Road Warrior.
-
you're story about your dad doin' thw "walk away" bit made my day..he sounds like a fun guy to have as a father..
-
Hoodies everywhere. Layered look for all the characters. And probably samurai swords.
-
just has to have some amazing candids floating around in the ether somewhere...
-
Their traditional culture would be pretty adaptable to the post-nuke world.
-
And George Miller has done both of them marvelously. Loving this BTS series, by the way!
-
David Gulpilil..Australias best import!
-
Unfortunately I'm not a big Mad Max fan. But that's ok.
-
. . . The Road Warrior set in a Thomas Kinkade painting. How funky would THAT look?
-
Check out the jumpsuit on the eighties person on the left.
-
It has one of the best opening sequences."And it was here...in this blighted place...that he learned to live again."Huge roar...and we pull out of the Interceptor's blower and pan over to Max.I remember saying to my buddy, "These Australians don't fuck around!"

I thank Road Warrior/Escape for creating 80s post-apoc mania
by takingscorpioscalls
with many countless ripoffs. MEGAWEAPON FTW!!!
-
Or Bond/Trek has yet to be done.
-
Not only a great villian, but he had a great lackey. And how cool is it that one of the hardest guys is movie history rides around with another guy on the back of his bike? Sick.
-
Humungus was so humongous... why the hell did they go with Ironbar in 3? Not to mention putting the final chase on... train tracks. Ugh. Oh yeah, my list of awesome villains: Frank Booth, Genesis (Suicide Club), and this dude.
-
...how old are you and what movies do YOU think kick ass? Are you older than 45 or under 20. I'm not asking just to be a dick(because you certainly gave an honest opinion), I seriously want to know what movie qualifies to get lots of love in your world.
-
AWESOME PIC! Thank you for this column! Just keep 'em coming!
-
... definitely the best of the bunch though when I watched the first one again last year I was surprised just how much I loved it.Anybody remember the unintentionally hilarious dubbed version with American voices? Bizarrely that one found its way onto UK TV in the late 80s/early 90s. It was its own kind of special genius ...
-
So that lady on his right must be really tall for a woman, or the perspective is really off.
-
Two words: BAD ASS!
-
i'm older than 20, younger than 45. well okay to be more specific most of the 80s represent my pre-double digit years. but i'm not gonna list anything i like because i've been here long enough to realize that'll just start crap. not necessarily with you but yeah some people are just that way. lol like i said earlier, its just a childhood/nostalgia thing i'm sure. many of my chilhood movies are crap and i'd realize it had i not grown up with them. i guess you hear all the hype for some movies and it sets expectations that are probably not possible to hit. anyway thats why i didnt accuse anyone of being a fucking moron or something for liking this, i actually understand and wanted to just point it out. :)
-
he wore it in friday 3 which came out 1 year after RW. even jason reazlied the awesome potential of humungus when he caught it on his cabin tv.
-
I was underage visiting my parents' friends in Indianapolis, and this movie scared the shit out of me. I remember when the dog got killed and I couldn't believe they would do that in a movie, and I remember when the pretty girl got shot with the arrows, and I couldn't believe she died.
-
I remember seeing that version late night on HBO waaaay back in the day. Some fool at Warner Brothers decided that we couldn't understand Australian accents or stupidly tried to pass the movie off as domestic. The funniest thing about the dubbing was that the guy who had his throat injured in one of the crashes did NOT get his voice dubbed (probably because they weren't able to get an artificial voice box for the American voice actor) so we got what sounded like an Aussie Cylon talking to Mel.
-
In your FACE!
-
I wanted one so bad after I saw this in the theaters as a kid.
I had to settle for a cheap Walmart wooden model, but it was fun as hell to run around my yard pretending to kill bad guys.
I was lucky we had a field-sized front yard and I didn't hit a house.
Good times.
Thanks, Quint. -
It is funny to see how petite Humungus is standing next to those makeup ladies...
-
...Max's boss from the first movie? Maybe it's the bald head, but I always saw a connection. Plus, he kinda-sorta seemed to recognize Max (or his car) just before pulling out that incongrously-fancy pistol.
-
Except Mel Gibson.
-
This is a classic movie. It's a movie loved by fans. Why haven't they done a box set or something, loaded with extras? Are they waiting for Fury Road? I'm sure George Miller has some interesting stories about production.
-
I looked and saw there's commentary on the blu ray. But a bigger box sex would be awesome.

Ok, Humungus, we get it.............................. ..........
by gotilk
just walk away. ok.
-
Best Swedish actor ever.
-
Great Film. Thanks, Quint.
-
Cut out the 'Lord of the Flies' interlude in the middle, and stay in Barter Town for the whole flick, and you have a decent Mad Max film.
-
...MY DOGS OF WAR WILL BURY YOU IN THE ROSE GARDEN!
-
The chase sequences still pwn everything we get from Hollywood ever since.

A big S&M sausagefest.
