July 7, 2009In this post-apocalyptic sequel to MAD MAX, drifter and gasoline scavenger Max (Mel Gibson) reluctantly helps a village ship a load of petroleum across a wasteland ruled by a brutal gang of motorcycle punks. The unique, jury-rigged look of this universe is remarkable, the chase ...( read more)

June 12, 2009Mad Max 2 is one of that rarest of breeds; a sequel that actually surpasses the original. Like Desperado and Evil Dead 2, it is a big budget reinvention of the previous film rather than a true sequel per se. Mad Max was a powerful if flawed film that never quite lived up to the p...( read more)

June 8, 2009The best Mad Max. The baddies are a real collection of leather clad loonies, love wells and the chief baddie. The look is cheap but it works very well, the final gas tanker highway chase is awesome and really shows some great punch ups and violence. The desert look really makes i...( read more)

March 15, 2009A real blast of a sequel, less violent but a lot more spectacular.
Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest is done again, as Kurosawa did in Yojimbo, Leone in Per un pugno di dollari, and the Coens in Miller's Crossing. That means, once again a stranger has interfered with two rebell...( read more) -

November 16, 2009Amazing. Mad Max is Australia's greatest warrior. The story was great and the action scenes were some of the best. The style is unique and very effective; showing a barren look on the future. Mel Gibson proves again how cool he is with his sawed-off shotgun and V8.

September 14, 2007By far one of the best(Australian) sequels made. This film has been mimicked so many time and mostly bad low budget foreign films. But Mad Max2(The Road Warrior) kicks it in the guts!
