The Mad Max Chronology

  By , , , , , ,

A few years from now…

The Cars That Ate Paris
1974 film on DVD.
Included because some car designs in Fury Road are clearly inspired by the iconic car design in this film – for purposes of this timeline, it’s the same car.
Market Forces
2004 novel written by Richard K. Morgan.
Morgan has specifically identified Mad Max as an inspiration for the story, describing it as an unofficial addition to the world of the film – while it has no direct connection, it is set in the same societal decay that opens the first film, albeit in England, rather than Australia.

Mad Max
1979 film on Blu-ray.
Mad Max
1990 NES game.
Appears to be set before The Road Warrior, based on the appearance of the V8 Interceptor.
