 When introducing Max to the Thunderdome crowd, Dr. Dealgood calls  him "The Man with No Name". This is a reference to  Clint Eastwood (qv)s character in Sergio Leone (I) (qv)s  "spaghetti westerns", particularly  _Per un pugno di dollari (1964)_ (qv), where his character also  enters a town as a drifter and plays the two ruling factions against  each other for profit.
