It was a mad, mad sight!

The original Mad Max was all smiles as he surprised the new cast at the “MadMax: Fury Road” premiere in Los Angeles Thursday night.

Mel Gibson, star of the 1979 classic “Mad Max,” joined Tom Hardy, 37, who reprised the action anti-hero role for the new Warner Bros. film, due out May 15.

“From one Max to the next. Mel Gibson makes a bolt from the blue appearance at the #MadMax premiere!” @MadMaxMovie tweeted.
