![]() ![]() He is knocked out when the vehicle finally rolls, but Max carries him from the wreck and he survives.Īt the very end of the film, we see him on the bus with the surviving villagers, gazing out the window at Max standing alone in the distance. The narrator informs us that he was that child, and that he relates the history so that the Road Warrior, whoever he was, would be remembered for saving them all, and that someday he, this child and now adult narrator, became the leader of the villagers, who would go on to re-establish some form of civilization, 'The Great Northern Tribe.' At some points he thoroughly enjoys the ensuing battle, but is clearly terrified when it comes down to him to retrieve the final shotgun cartridge from the front end of the speeding Mack. Not to be denied, the Kid later overcomes all efforts to restrain him, and leaps aboard the Mack as Max drives it out of the compound to begin the fateful chase. This is a pretty poignant scene, but Max rejects the Kid, which proves wise following the destruction of the interceptor shortly afterward. When Max attempts to later leave the compound in the interceptor, having secured his fuel, the Kid attempts to sneak into the vehicle to go with him. He mimics animal howls to distract a guard when Max is almost discovered. The Kid escorts Max through the camp perimeter of Humungus and his Dogs of War as he sneaks out to of the compound on his mission to bring back the Mack truck.

Having lost his own son in the previous film, Max remains aloof. The Kid is fascinated by the newcomer Max Rockatansky, who gives him a small wind-up music box scavenged from the road. He has grown up communicating only by bestial noises. He is apparently 9 or 10 years old during the events of the film, hardly old enough to remember the collapse of civilization but deeply affected by it. The Feral Kid was taken in by Pappagallo's tribe. The same concept later became inspiration for The Lost Tribe of children in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Due to budget constraints, the tribe was reduced to just one child - the Feral Kid. This idea was particularly entertained by Terry Hayes, who wanted to include a whole tribe of feral children in Mad Max 2. Mum went to find dad, never came back and I was left to fend for myself and. Landed, no fuel, dad went to find fuel (and) never came back.
