Today’s scene of the day comes from the original Mad Max, directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson as Australia’s favorite apocalypse survivor.  In this scene, Max — who is still trying to be a servant of law and order — chases The Night Rider!

The Night Rider has become a bit of a fan favorite, which is saying something for someone who really isn’t in the film for that long.  As Mad Max takes place before the total collapse of civilization, it’s temping to see The Night Rider as a harbinger, letting Max and his other police colleagues know what the future for holds all of them.
