According to the theory of Hubbert’s Peak Oil prediction the world’s oil supply will peak in the early new millenia and decline slowly over the years leaving us to fend for our selves in a post modern energy scramble.  What is interesting is the consequences this would bring was predicted in the 1970s..

See, Mad Max..  Was he pissed?  Yes.. But more so about his murdered family than the dwindling supply of petroleum in conflict.

As the movie progresses you meet Max, a member of some kind of enforcement organization.  In the 70s this movie may have made more sense.. Everything being driven in this post apocalyptic oil-less world sucks gas like there is no tommorrow.  The first very humorous bit I saw was this guy rolling around like a bat-out-of-hell in some kind of V8 or possible V10 car that had to have had atleast 4 carberators..  He comes across a downed gasoline tanker which seemed to have a small puddle of gas left-over.  Watch closely he pulls up the very vehicle I just described, letting it idle at 2.4 gallons a minute, as he proceeds to soak up the gas with a rag ringing it into a small container as to not let it go to waste..  He probably could not shut his car off in this time, as to restart it would probably dump a noticeable fraction of the worlds supply into his carbeurators to get going.

The bit of humor you will find oddly bizarre through the rest of the movie is the fact that all of the bandits/pirates/bad guys all wear S&M/Bondage gear..  Of course there is the lovable boomerang guy, who wears a long chain collar, with a muzzle on his face being dragged by his dominatrix(who is male)When the world starts to run low on petrol, be very very weary of roving bands of sex slaves desperate for oil and S&M.
