143. MAX ATTACKS. DAY.

MAX, enraged, tears off the sling which supports his

wrist. He grabs the shotgun off the seat next to him.

He swings the gun around and then pumps both barrels

into the road racer: the first blast shatters the

windscreen; the second blows off the bonnet...

The GAYBOY BERSERKER is unharmed.

MAX hauls down hard on the wheel...

The tanker swerves into the road racer, taking it

through a guide post and into the 'rough'...

The tanker barrels over the road racer, rolling it,

tumbling it into another Marauder's vehicle.

MAX changes down and hurls the tanker back onto the

highway. The BEAR CLAW BIKER hangs on desperately...

MAX grabs two of the four remaining cartridges and

quickly reloads the shotgun.

143. BOARDING THE TANKER. DAY.

The Humungus machine draws up behind the undefended

tanker.

A GAYBOY BERSERKER clambers to the front of the Humungus

vehicle - between the TWO VICTIMS - and leaps onto the

back of the tanker.

Further along the tanker, a MOHAWK BIKER with PILLION

RIDER has drawn alongside. The PILLION RIDER helps the

BEAR CLAW BIKER swing up above the wire...

Once he is on top, the BEAR CLAW BIKER hauls the PILLION

RIDER on board.

The MOHAWK BIKER accelerates alongside the leading set

of wheels - one of which has already been blown apart.

He raises his bow taking aim...

The flying steel belt of the shreaded tyre lashes around

his arm, dragging him and his bike beneath the rig...

The giant wheels trample the MAN and machine, spitting

them out the back... beneath the wheels of the Humungus

machine.

144. UNDER THE TANKER. DAY.

On its way through, the bike has ruptured a small hose

underneath the tanker. We see something trickling out

of the tank... streaming down the road.

It's sand!

145. THE MARAUDERS ON BOARD. DAY.

On board the tanker, the GAYBOY BERSERKER scrambles

towards the cabin, leaping the gap between the tank and

the prime mover...

MAX looks up at the 'thump' overhead...

The GAYBOY BERSERKER braces himself, taking aim through

the roof... he fires...

The arrow rips through the metal and buries itself in

the seat between MAX'S legs...

The GAYBOY BERSERKER prepares to reload.

MAX brakes...

The HUMUNGUS, tailgating him, isn't quick enough. The

front of his vehicle smacks one corner of the tanker,

crushing the BROKEN MAN strapped to the front.

The GAYBOY BERSERKER on the roof pitches forward,

falling past the windscreen and out of sight over the

front of the tanker...

The PILLION RIDER and BEAR CLAW BIKER scramble and

fall...

The BEAR CLAW BIKER catches hold of an outlet valve and

steadies himself...

The PILLION RIDER totters... reaches... and grabs the

chromed exhaust stacks...

He screams as the pipe scorches his hand. He lets it go

and tumbls over the side.

146. THE GYRO CAPTAIN AGAIN. DAY.

On the crest of a hill about 400 yards ahead, MAX sees

another vehicle.

The gyrocopter stands in the middle of the road facing

away from the chase...

The GYRO CAPTAIN has bandaged his foot and is trying to

repair the right rudder peddle...

As the chase looms up behind him he turns... we see

that the GAYBOY BERSERKER is clinging to the cow catcher

on the front of the tanker.

Furiously, the GYRO CAPTAIN starts spinning the rotor by

hand, turning over the motor.

As the tanker bears down on him he takes off - so

steeply that he almost stalls.

Once he is airborne he looks down... assessing,

cursing.

Down below we see Pappagallo's Lone Wolf vehicle draw

alongside Wez's convertible tow truck.

147. OFF ROAD. THE FERAL KID FALLS. DAY.

WEZ looks over his shoulder...

PAPPAGALLO comes alongside... the FERAL KID, standing

on the back of the machine, hands him a crossobw.

WEZ wrenches down hard on the wheel... shunting into

the Lone Wolf. vehicle... sending Pappagallo's arrow

astray...

The FERAL KID loses his footing, tumbling off the side

of the vehicle.

PAPPAGALLO turns in dismay... as WEZ comes in to shunt

him again...

148. MAX UNDER SIEGE. DAY.

A bike with a side car accelerates alongside the tanker.

The SIDE CAR RIDER fires and takes out another tyre....

The BEAR CLAW BIKER signals, calling for a weapon.

The SIDE CAR RIDER throws him a large, powerful

crossbow.

The BEAR CLAW BIKER catches it and starts to haul

himself onto the roof of the cabin.

The SIDE CAR RIDER leaps onto the tanker.

At the rear of the tanker a SMEGMA CRAZY leaps off the

front of the Humungus vehicle and onto the ladder which

leads to the top of the tanker.

149. OFF ROAD. THE KID ON HIS FEET. DAY.

The FERAL KID staggers to his feet as Wez's tow truck

and Pappagallo's Lone Wolf vehicle continue their

shunting... the KID turns... a street car and a bike

are roaring towards him. The KID starts running...

150. OFF ROAD. THE EROSION DITCH. DAY.

In the scrub ahead - over WEZ'S shoulder - we see an

erosion ditch looming up. WEZ brakes and turns the

wheel...

The tow truck and the Lone Wolf machine go into a

slide...

WEZ manages to avoid the ditch and keep going but the

Lone Wolf machine's wheels plunge into the ditch,

bringing the vehicle to an abrupt halt...

151. MAX STILL UNDER SIEGE. DAY.

As MAX looks back, a hand comes over the front bull bar

of the tanker, followed by the GAYBOY BERSERKER'S head.

He sees the BEAR CLAW BIKER and signals for the

crossbow... the BEAR CLAW BIKER throws it...

The crossbow lands on the bonnet...

MAX turns, sees him... and raises the shotgun... the

GAYBOY BERSERKER ducks... MAX waits...

The BEAR CLAW BIKER works his way to Max's window...

The SMEGMA CRAZY jumps from the tapker onto the cabin

roof.

MAX looks up as the man's feet thump on the metal above

his head.

The passenger's window shatters; the SIDE CAR RIDER

clings there, raising his crossbow...

On the roof, the SMEGMA CRAZY braces himself, preparing

to fire a crossbow bolt through the roof...

MAX raises the shotgun, firing point blank at the SIDE

CAR RIDER, blowing him away.

Immediately he fires the second barrel through the roof:

the blast hurls the SMEGMA CRAZY off the back of the

cabin.

MAX breaks open the barrel...

MAX grabs his last two shells as a muscled arm reaches

through the open door. MAX recoils. It is the BEAR

CLAW BIKER. The cartridges fall to the floor.

The BEAR CLAW rips the seat next to MAX'S right

shoulder.

MAX zig-zags the tanker down the highway trying to keep

the BEAR CLAW off his balance.

Thud! The BEAR CLAW strikes again - this time - through

the rear window into Max's shoulder padding...

The BEAR CLAW BIKERIS foot slips, MAX screams with pain

as the claws dig into his left shoulder.

The BEAR CLAW hangs there unable to move.

MAX tries desperately to reach the two cartridge shells

rolling around on the floor.

On the front of the tanker the GAY BOY BERSERKER pokes

his head up for another look...

152. OFF ROAD. THE EROSION DITCH.

PAPPAGALLO spins the back wheels of the Lone Wolf

machine... frantically trying to pull it out of the

ditch.
