This is a lobby card promoting the release of Mad Max 2 in Spain, where the film was subtitled El Guerrero de la Carretera (The Road Warrior).
The lobby card features two Marauders, members of a ragtag group of tribes led by Lord Humungus.
One of the Mad Max franchise's enduring legacies is the make-up, costume and prop design which drew upon the punk culture of the late 1970s and early '80s.
This lobby card is a good example as it shows one of the extraordinary vehicles made for the film and two of the leather-clad and heavily studded Marauders. Behind them stand two members of the Bad Cops.
While not explicitly developed in the film, the Marauders comprised a number of smaller tribes – the Bad Cops, Skinheads, Punks and Smegma Crazies – each with its own distinct look.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
