Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Larry Bishop, Richard Pryor pulled a prank in which he came to the set naked and shocked Shelley Winters.
- GoofsWhen Jimmy Fergus meets his father, Senator Johnny Fergus, he says "...and when that special water comes in...". The decision to spike the Washington, D.C. drinking water supply with LSD was made in the scene following this one during Max's War Council, so this scene with Jimmy and his father was edited out of sync.

Featured review
Saw it on the Big Screen, just saw it again.
When this came out in 1968 I was 17. It made a huge impression on me then. What a wild and strange movie. I was not really ready for this movie but I liked it just the same. When Max said 14 or fight, I believed him. Of course at 17 I couldn't vote but I was facing 18 and at that time the Vietnam draft. Scary times indeed. Just the other night it was on TMC and I recorded it. I don't think I've seen it anywhere since. It was fun to watch it again, Shelly Winters looked really young, Ed Begley was perfect as the stoned out old Senator and Christopher Jones, going from rock star to politician to President and then to "old guy" played the part to a tee. The only thing about this movie I didn't care for was that it type casted Jones and he really didn't do much after this movie.
