History Characters / MadMaxBeyondThunderdome

->'''Played by:''' Angelo Rossitto (Master) & Paul Larsson (Blaster)

* {{Affably Evil}}: Auntie is the most gentle villain in the series. She even lets [[spoiler: Max get off alive when she had him at her mercy in the end]].

->'''Played by:''' EdwinHodgeman

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's basically the same character as the Gyrocaptain from the second movie, an aircraft operator who uses trickery to rob passing travelers.

* HeelFaceTurn: After Max rescues him from Auntie Entity, Master helps them escape in the traincar, and goes with them to the ruins of Sidney, where he presumably helps them build a new society with his knowledge.

* DistantFinale: The children who leave the oasis eventually cross the desert with the help of the pilot Jedediah, and find themselves in the ruins of Sidney, where they establish a new society, not only by themselves, but with other wanderers who find their way back home. The credits list the children as a whole as two separate tribes: "The Ones Who Stayed" and "The Ones Who Left".

* CrazyAwesome: Scrooloose, who lets out the others who wanted to leave after they were briefly being detained, and briefly hijacks a car during the final chase [[spoiler: (given the implications that he's an escaped War Boy, this isn't surprising)]].

* CreepyGood: Scrooloose, who is silent, oddly pained and the most feral looking of the group but a heroic, and loyal person.

* RodAndReelRepurpsoed: It's implied that Mr. Skyfish uses a bird kite to fish for birds, luring them in to catch.

* CreepyGood: Scrooloose.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure/ BothSidesHaveAPoint: Both Slake and Savannah are good leaders, with understandable goals and a fair amount of logic that just happen to diverge once Max tells them that he's not Walker and the real Walker won't be coming back.

* CargoCult: The children are the survivors of a plane crash in the midst of the nuclear war. As all the original adults left to find help, and presumably died in the desert, the childrens' memories of the previous society has turned into this, and have built a cult both around civilization, which they call "Tomorrow-Morrow-Land", and the plane's captain, G.L Walker.
* CrazyAwesome: Scrooloose, who lets out the others who wanted to leave after they were briefly being detained, and briefly hijacks a car during the final chase [[spoiler: given the implications that he's an escaped War Boy, this isn't surprising).

* DepravedDwarf: Master's a tyrannical little person. Ultimately subverted as a JerkassFacade, however, starting the moment Blaster is defeated- the callous bravado was all part of the carefully crafted persona that kept both himself and his friend alive and in relative comfort in a world neither was suited to alone.

* DistantFinale: The children who leave the oasis eventually cross the desert with the help of the pilot Jedediah, and find themselves in the ruins of Sidney, where they establish a new society, not only by themselves, but with other wanderers who find their way back home.

* DepravedDwarf: Master's a tyrannical little pereson.

* MentalHandicapMoralDeficiency: Blaster's a towering giant whose Down's Syndrome leaves him open to being manipulated into acting as muscle for Master. In a variation on the trope, Master does seem to genuinely care about Blaster and sees them as partners.

* WorthyOpponent: Sees Max this way.

* PostApunkalypticArmor: At first played straight, but later subverted, as Master changes into a slightly worn but still perfectly intact suit and tie after he is rescued by Max and the children.

* JerkassFacade: Master falls ambiguously between this and JerkWithAHeartOfGold. He mocks those ranked above and below him, brazenly flaunts Auntie Entity's authority, and rules the undercity with the combination of his own genius and Blaster's iron fist...but when Blaster is defeated he throws himself in front of Max's killing blow, and Blaster's response makes it clear that the two are close as brothers. Master's manipulations served to protect ''both'' of them, and his phrasing takes on a different tone when you know that he really ''was'' talking slow and using small words so someone far less intelligent could understand: that person being Blaster. He also responds kindly to the children as they make their escape, showing them how to play their beloved artifact on the record player, and risks himself to make sure everyone gets on the plane.

* MadwomanInTheAttic: Blaster is a mobile version. He lives behind an armored mask and never associates with anyone except as Master's transport, and when the mask comes off, it's revealed that he has Down's Syndrome and is incapable of surviving in Bartertown's cutthroat society without the protective Master's supervision.

->'''Played by:''' Bruce Spence

* DramaticUnmask: When Max knocks off Blasters helmet in the Thunderdome, its revealed that Blaster is actually a mentally handicapped ManChild who's harmless when there is no one to give him orders.

* HandicappedBadass: Blaster is the power behind Masters throne and Master is the reason why Bartertown has electricity and machinery. He is also able to use an embargo against Auntie Entity without immediate punishment.

* BaldOfEvil

* DramaticUnmask: When Max knocks off Blasters helmet in the Thunderdome, its revealed that Blaster is actually a mentally handicapped ManChild who's harmless with no one to give him orders.

* {{Badass}}: The climax of the film has Auntie not only sending her army to recapture Master and finish off the others, but she also leads the charge, driving her own vehicle, and even climbs from her vehicle to the escaping truck, in order to try and seize Master herself. Lord Humongous would approve.
