Audiences were very much used to seeing Max rocking his functional, short hairdo in the first two Mad Max movies, but for Beyond Thunderdome, George Miller changed things up, perhaps in order to let audiences know that he still meant business, and that this wouldn't be a rehash of the two previous films. That's right, Max spends about half the movie with long, flowing locks in a manner which, these days, will likely instantly remind viewers of his similar hairstyle in his 1995 Best Picture-winning film Braveheart (for which Gibson also won Best Director at the Oscars). Thankfully Max's typical style is restored later on, because long hair doesn't suit Gibson all that well. After all, who can forget the infamous Lethal Weapon mullet?
