Post Apocalptic Setting
Don't Stand So Close To Him
The Road Warrior- ups the action, the adventure, the post apocalyptic setting and of course max returns. Dont stand so close to him, cause he might shoot you. So stay your distance from him. Max is furious, dangerous and of course mad.
The plot: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max (Mel Gibson) drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders. Falling into an encampment led by the relatively peaceful Pappagallo (Mike Preston), Max at first schemes to steal their oil, but soon becomes the group's reluctant defender against the hulking Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) and his ruthless marauders.
Its a good film, i personally like the first one better. But this one is really good as well. If you havent seen it, than watch it.

I was going to start this by claiming this was the middle of the Mad Max trilogy, but I had temporarily forgotten about Fury Road.
Perhaps it's better to say this is the middle of the Mel Gibson era of Mad Max films.
It's also hard to believe that this is nearly 40 years old now, holding up remarkably well for its age. That, I think, is probably due to its reliance on practical effects for most of the scenes of vehicular mayhem that occur throughout (in the post apocalyptic wasteland) rather than CGI.
In my books, this is definitely a step up from the first movie.

A very interesting idea. This is a cult classic. A drive in theater turned i to an internment camp for Society unwanted. Dont expect much from this just take it at face value and enjoy it.

Crazy action film
A real surprise as this film mixes up ideas and themes from the likes of Mad Max, Escape from New York and a couple of others. There's plenty of action, shootouts, fights and chase scenes. Complete with over the top characters and plot. If you don't take it seriously you should enjoy it.

One of the primary reasons for my rating here is my adoration of the cast. The story itself isn't unique, though some elements are. Michael Shannon delivers a stirring performance that actually makes you empathetic to his sordid actions. Nicholas Hoult delivers a dark performance that seems nearly relatable at times. Slight Mad Max (Mel Gibson version) vibe to the whole thing.

The most recent of the Mad Max movies (as of early 2024) and with Tom Hardy replacing Mel Gibson in the lead role, this is essentially one long car chase movie.
And the best, IMO, since 'The Road Warrior'.
This one also stars Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa - soon to have a spin-off movie of her own (albeit recast) - with a strong argument that this is really *her* movie instead of belonging to Max Rockatansky.
It helps, of course, that a lot of the (insane) stunts are real rather than SFX - for example, the polevaulters on top of cars? Real stuntmen.
