The camp people have destroyed what they cannot take ...

WIPE.

135. DUNE BUGGY INCIDENT. HIGHWAY. DAY.

As the tanker surges towards us, we see the dune buggy,

the Lone Wolf machine and the pursuing MARAUDERS,

surrounding it.

MAX grimaces as he changes gears. His leg is bleeding

freely now...

He looks to the passenger side:

The dune buggy, driven by the BLACKSMITH and manned by

PISMO, leaps onto the road in front of the tanker.

A tow truck, manned by SKINHEADS, converges on it from

the driver's side.

On the back of the dune buggy PISMO lifts his

crossbow... unaware that, behind him, Wez's convertible

tow truck is approaching fast.

The FIRST OF THE TWO SKINHEADS on the back of the tow

truck fires his crossbow...

The arrow sails past PISMO'S ear. PISMO fires ... He

hits the FIRST SKINHEAD but the arrow bounces off the

SKINHEAD'S protective armour. The SKINHEAD grins.

PISMO hurries to reload...

The SECOND SKINHEAD raises his bow, aiming at PISMO. An

arrow hits the SECOND SKINHEAD in the back of the head.

PISMO looks up to see WARRIOR WOMAN reloading her

longbow.

PISMO grins at her... behind him, WEZ'S arm reaches

down and hooks the jib chain around the roll bar of the

dune buggy ...

The tow truck accelerates... the chain tightens ...

PISMO screams as he is thrown through the air.

WEZ'S tow truck drags the dune buggy askew...

It rolls in front of the tanker... MAX has no choice.

The cow catcher shunts the dune buggy aside, sending it

tumbling off the road.

MAX struggles with the wheel ... managing to keep the

vehicle on the road...

He looks down in the side mirror: two road racers and a

dune buggy - followed by the Humungus machine - surge up

behind the tanker.

From behind protective plates on top of the tanker the

MECHANIC hurls a molotov cocktail...

The FARMER, stationed at the rear of the tanker does the

same...

The two bottles smash into the first road racer. It

bursts into flames ... swerves in front of the other

road racer, ramps off the road, and plunges into a

Marauder's dune buggy.

PAPPAGALLO, who has been forced off the road, narrowly

avoids the wreck.

136. MAX LOSES HIS DOOR. DAY.

The Skinhead tow truck draws alongside the tanker, near

Max's door.

The SECOND SKINHEAD, twirling a grappling hook, lets it

fly.

It trails out towards the tanker cabin ... flies

through the driver's window... and lands virtually in

MAX'S lap...

As the tow truck swerves away from the tanker the cable

tightens.

The grappling hook drags across MAX'S arm, tearing away

part of the sleeve and hooks onto the door...

The tow truck brakes ... Max's door is ripped off its

hinges ...

137. THE REAR OF THE TANKER INCIDENT. DAY.

A SMEGMA CRAZY riding in the cabin of the tow truck is

encouraged by this success ...

He begins twirling his grappling hook as the vehicle

approaches the back of the tanker...

The FARMER pops up from behind a protective plate and

fires his crossbow...

The arrow misses the tow truck, flies through the caged

window of a road racer armed with a 4-pak and lodges in

the driver's helmet.

The DRIVER pulls off his helmet ... the arrow has

barely creased his scalp.

The SMEGMA CRAZY hurls his grappling hook...

It caches the FARMER by the leg and hooks on to the lip

of the back protective plate.

The cable snaps taut, the FARMER screams.

MAX feels the sudden tug on the tanker. He changes

down...

The tow truck is dragged along, veering out of

control...

The strain pops the rivets off the tankers back plate...

it comes away in one piece... carrying away the FARMER

and the steel aprons protecting the rear wheels ...

The tow truck tumbles and rolls ...

138. THE MECHANIC DROPS THE BOTTLE. DAY.

On top of the tanker, the MECHANIC has lit another

molotov cocktail ...

He swings back to throw...

The road racer, armed with the 4-pak, swings along side

and fires.

Three arrows rat-&-tat against the protective plates ...

the fourth hits the MECHANIC'S upraised arm...

The bottle drops ... and smashes on top of the

tanker... spreading flames.

The HUMUNGUS accelerates hard towards the now-undefended

rear of the tanker. He pulls a rope, whipping the hoods

off the heads of the TWO VICTIMS lashed to the front.

They scream as the back of the tanker looms in front of

them.

139. WEZ TAKES OUT THE FIRST TYRE. DAY.

MAX looks in the passenger-side mirror...

Wez's convertible tow truck is drawing alongside the

left rear wheels of the prime mover.

WEZ fires an arrow into the first tyre ...

It explodes ... flailing cable and rubber...

As WEZ reloads, another MOHAWKER - wearing two bizarre

bear claws on his crossbow gauntlets - steadies himself

on the back of the tow truck... ready to jump aboard

the tanker.

Pappagallo's Lone Wolf machine appears in the

background.

140. WARRIOR WOMAN IS SHOT. DAY.

WARRIOR WOMAN turns to see that the MECHANIC is losing

the battle with the flames. In vain he tries to stop

his clothes catching alight with a small bag of water...

Rising to her feet WARRIOR WOMAN fires an Arrow at the

BEAR CLAW BIKER... hitting him in his protective pad,

throwing him off balance.

As WARRIOR WOMAN scrambles along the top of the tanker

towards the MECHANIC, TWO MARAUDERS fire at her.

She is hit, once in the protective plate around her

kidneys and once in the thigh...

From the Lone Wolf vehicle PAPPAGALLO and the FERAL KID

watch as she staggers forward...

In the tow truck, WEZ has reloaded and fires at WARRIOR

WOMAN. The arrow hits her in the back...she buckles and

falls into the barbed wire.

MAX watches helplessly in the rear vision mirror as she

struggles in the wire.

141. CONVERTIBLE TOW TRUCK. DAY.

As WEZ reloads his crossbow, the Lone Wolf machine

accelerates alongside the tow truck.

The KID throws his steel boomerang, hitting Wez's

crossbow gauntlet, preventing him from aiming.

The MASKED MOHAWKER driving the tow truck turns to

see...

PAPPAGALLO firing his gauntlet crossbow.

The MASKED MOHAWKER screams as the arrow passes through

his neck...

The convertible tow truck swerves in and bounces off the

tanker.

WEZ is thrown off balance...

The BEAR CLAW BIKER grabs the barbed wire on the side of

the tanker for support...

The tow truck swerves away, out of control, leaving the

BEAR CLAW BIKER clinging to the wire.

WEZ scrambles over into the driver's seat, bringing the

vehicle back under control.

142. WARRIOR WOMAN AND THE MECHANIC. DAY.

WARRIOR WOMAN, caught in the wire by her clothing,

struggles to remain conscious as she slips closer to the

tanker's wheels.

The MECHANIC, who has managed to extinguish the flames,

crawls towards her. Her clothing tearing... his hand

reaches out... further... further... and grabs her.

A road racer draws alongside them.

MAX yells as he sees the driver, a GAYBOY BERSERKER,

fire another arrow into the MECHANIC.

The MECHANIC shudders, the WARRIOR WOMAN slips - her

weight dragging them both off the tanker.
