Who else think johnny didn't deserve what max does to him at the end? Ok, Johnny raped a girl earlier in the movie and set Goose on fire, but he wasn't present when they murdered Jessie and Sprog. Max's actions aren't justified. Would you honestly kill johnny rather than simply arresting him?

He deserved it, in my opinion. He's a lunatic, a drug addict, a rapist and a murderer, and at that point in the movie, Max is not at 100% of his faculties so he will just get rid of all the scum without thinking too much. Good job, I say!

Johnny got off all too easy; he should have suffered more.
shareDid Johnny deserve what Max does to him?
Something I reconsidered after rewatching it last night. Johnny drew the line at setting the truck on fire. He first reluctantly protests, then vehemently says he won't do it. Note, he does NOT set Goose on fire. He argues with Toecutter who roughs him up, which makes him drop the match.
You might even argue that Johnny was too high to have been a part of the rape, but he was still in the gang. I also got the impression he was a bit mentaly deficient; definitely not as cruel as the others.
More like he's punished for his association. But Mad Max never would have known any of that.

As far as max cares, he's one of those responsible for his wife, son and best friend. i guess he really didn't need to give him the 'chance' to cut through his ankle.
shareNo one deserves death, although lethal force is sometimes necessary to neutralize an imminent or ongoing attack of sufficient severity. Nobody deserves to be burned alive.
But given the circumstances (i.e., no way to exile him from society), there didn't seem much else to be done about him. Johnny the Boy was a psychopath and a predator, and would certainly victimize others. Killing him was an act of defence by Max on behalf of Johnny's future targets.

I agree with your politics 100%, but this isn't a movie about a paragon of morality. It's about a man driven to the fringe of sanity
shareI love the use of morals in this film, Max talking earlier about hes scared hes gonna become like the ones he hunts on the road, also when hes setting the trap for Johnny, at one point Max looks as if he saying to himself "I shouldnt be doing this" and the next he gives an almost psychotic smile as he stands up
Always loved that scene!
I got your restraining order right here, RESTRAIN THIS!
Johnny the Boy should be elected to Parliament for his actions...he's a true hero of the people. "Remember him, when you look at the night sky!!!" will be his campaign slogan..

Did you even saw the movie??
"Don't touch!" -- Clark W. Griswold
Wasn't the law in this movie at least partially ineffective due to the apocalypse that has occured? Did Max have any other choice?
Also, what if that guy at the end really DID saw off his own leg, would he REALLY live and be saved?
