Lord Humungus is the main antagonist of the 1981 post-apocalyptic film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, the second installment in the Mad Max franchise. He is a dangerous gang lord and the leader of a biker gang who come into conflict with “Mad” Max Rockatansky.
Following the collapse of society, Humungus became leader of a group of marauders, with Wez as his second-in-command. After hearing of an oil refinery, Humungus sought to take all its gasoline to fuel their army of vehicles. He attempted to convince its inhabitants to surrender peacefully, stating that no harm will come to them if they turned the oil over.
Lord Humungus: There has been too much violence. Too much pain. None here are without sin. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I’ll spare your lives. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.
[Humungus’ gang start up their vehicles]
Lord Humungus: I await your answer. You have a full day to decide.
Two of the compound’s inhabitants attempt to escape and though they fail, attract the attention of Max Rockatansky while doing so. Max then takes it upon himself to help the inhabitants of the refinery escape with their tanker of gas.
During the final chase, Humungus kills Papagallo with his spear before shooting at the tanker. He is temporarily put out of commission by the Gyropilot, but soon recovers and activates a nitrous booster to catch up to Max. However, Max reversed the direction of tanker so that, when Humungus rams into Max, the collision kills both Humungus and Wez.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
