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) -

Director George Miller and Gibson created the character of Max in 1979's Mad Max, a film that gained an instant cult following. That film wasn't too popular at first in t...( read more)

October 30, 2009A great action flick. I thought of several other movies while watching this. Mainly Doomsday, Waterworld, and Resident Evil: Extinction. They were all obviously ripping this off, but if you liked any of them you will love this. The whole story is build up to a chase scene. The mo...( read more)

October 24, 2009Brilliant defo the best of the trilogy, shows Max at his best and other brilliant characters, love the brilliant bandits and fuel tanker sequence at the end.
-
October 19, 2009The Road Warrior continues Max's story of decline, although rather disappointingly Max seems to have been toned down a little. He's still playing the anti-hero, but this one seems to have picked up a PG level of characterization and understanding without dropping the 18 rating it...( read more)

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!
