The various weapons available for use within the dome include: a Chinese guan-dao spear, a chainsaw with limited fuel, a spiked mace and a metal sledge-hammer. Upon starting, both participants are attached to a bungee cable that grants them increased athletics, which benefits them both in combat and acquiring the weapons that are perched higher up in the cage.
MAD MAX THUNDERDOME SERIES
Officially it seems there are no other rules, Dealgood advises Max to get to the weapons and to use them any way you can, before stating "I know you won't break the rules, because there aren't any."ĭespite this statement, it appears there exists a series of physical laws within the dome. Dealgood acts as the ringleader that rallies the crowd prior to combat within the dome and states the memorable sole rule: "two men enter, one man leaves".

According to Mike Wood - special effects co-ordinator, this technique was inspired by an effect in Mary Poppins. The rubber bands were not powerful enough to lift the actors so the special effects team used hand-controlled compressed air cylinders which could literally shoot Max and Blaster from the floor to the ceiling in a matter of seconds. Mel Gibson was doing all the stunts in that sequence, initially the directors wanted to use only his close-ups but Mel turned out to be more skillful in the battle than the stuntmen. The whole construction was 30 ft high, the fighters would go up to about 20 feet. The idea for harnesses with rubber straps came from baby bouncers. We wanted a fight to the death, but just another fight.
And the Thunderdome represents our kind of entertainment, our sport and pageantry - a combination of Super Bowl, gladiatorial contest, Sunday matinee and religious coronation. Bartertown is a microcosm of Max's world, with everything that has corrupted our modern society - hustling, trading, the whole profane business of life.
