I really like this movie regarding the props, world building and weird characters. The walk from the city entrance to Aunty's elevator shows so much details and is so full of life. The story and some acting may have been goofy here and there, but I like the idea of Barter Town and how they made it up.
The details in the props, clothing, and the attitudes of all the actors was submersion level for the movie. Very different from the Road Warrior, with some comedic touches. But, it's all Mad Max. The world sucks today. Being an outcast is appealing to me, still.
Maurice Jarre's score is among the greatest he ever wrote. I interviewed him back in the 1990s and he revealed "George Miller left me completely free" when writing the music. There's a lesson to be learned there, in our current era of directors who micromanage every note (which results in forgettable scores).

I have a similar story. My neighbor lent this to me when I lived in Milwaukie, Wisconsin. One night I was returning it to him and noticed his door was slightly ajar. I noticed a strange smell coming from the apartment so I peeked in further and tried to pry the door a little more open.

He grabs it looks back to his apartment and turns back to me and says with a smile and says "Thanks". I quickly left. I moved out after a few months later.

I saw this several times when it came out. Then years later I saw Lawrence of Arabia for the first time and was surprised by how many scenes from Thunderdome are basically George Miller paying homage to David Lean’s masterpiece.

Same character, that’s why Max says “you’ve got a plane” when they come face to face in the cave. The little kid is from the young blonde he creeped on in the 2nd film
@@wadenorgaard9988 He said you got a plane because Max was knocked off his ride at the beginning of the movie by his plane. Also he is on record saying it's not the same character.
An entirely different character. We know from the closing of "The Road Warrior" that the gyro captain went north with the refinery folk as their new leader after the death of Pappagallo.
I’m 28 so I’m only just now getting familiar with these older ones, the new ones are amazing but these are actually shot really well and doesn’t have a ton of that 80s “cheese”. The more I watch the older ones the more I like them.
Still haven't watched this film, but 'We Don't Need Another Hero' remains one of my all time favourite songs. Epic tune. We do by the way.* *need new heroes
It’s not a bad film, but it seems to be geared to middle school age children - kind of like the original Star Wars movies. It doesn’t contain the violence and raw, brutal grittiness that we see in the previous two movies, which was thankfully brought back in Fury Road and most recently in Furiosa. MM1&2 contained rape scenes, people being burned alive and dismembered in road collisions, and a serrated boomerang that cuts off a man’s fingers and splits another man’s skull in two. Beyond Thunderdome has no gory scenes, and a big chunk of the film seems to revolve around the Lost Boys of Neverland. It’s a fairly decent film on its own, but it doesn’t feel like a Mad Max film when compared to the other entries in the franchise.
Naw. I love the idea of a tribe of primitive children who cobble together a mythology from half-remembered bits of their collective childhood, and his relationship with them is important to his character development and the progression he's been making towards rejoining humanity. We already see that he's gone from scavenging to trading in the begining of the movie, and now he's experiencing the inverse of Mad Max, where he had the chance to settle down, but couldn't bring himself to, whereas in Thunderdome, he's ready to settle down and be a father figure to the children (it's important to note that many of those kids would be the same age as the son he lost), but has to sacrifice that opportunity to ensure their escape.
- I love the music that starts at 2:50. Also, this version was no where near as violent as the second movie. The introduction of the kids was a weak attempt.
I was so dissapointed when it came out… the car action was so reduced… only the end escape chase had a few car stunts…. a matter of taste… but compared to Road Warrior this was more Dune Warrior 🥳
It is the same car, Papagallos car, he has no more fuel for it, so thats why its being pulled by camels. Aunty Entity has it retrofitted to run on methane at the end.
While not a terrible movie it certainly was mediocre compared to the previous two movies. Thank goodness Fury Road came along to bring the franchise to its heights again.
It's amazing how they said "That was a good movie. Let's make a bunch with the same name that are completely unrelated." It's like if they said "I liked 'Flipper' on the telly when I was a kid then made "Waterworld." And named it "Flipper : The Man Boateth".
This scene makes me wonder the same thing when I watch Waterworld... where the hell did he get gas for that plane? Max dropping off his weapons, the scene by which all other movies spoof (even if some came before Max, this made it a meme before memes were memes) And Tina Turner, god, she had hair as big as the pipes she sang with. Never will be another like her.
I was a kid when this came out, I loved MM2 so much I got in (when it was PG13) but I liked it, I knew it was no way as good as 2 but you could definetly see the budget values had improved considerably, sadly the script and direction was not great.

The first half of this film is a complement and worthy successor of the first two films. We won't talk about the second half. But imagine a day, a day when technology has advanced, perhaps in fifty years, that a random maker at home could have a film, then simply create a flawless rewrite of what they disliked. Computers and Ai perfectly rendering the characters, style, sound and sets. The maker writes a script, creates some digital sets and then simply directs the AI to make the film that should have been. How many movies have there been with amazing ideas so poorly executed. It will be a golden age for visual arts.
Always felt that whoever was writing the screenplay quit halfway through. The second half of the movie felt like a desperate attempt to salvage the movie.
Ummm, did that dude just drop out of a plane and land in the seat of that carriage deal like it was nothing??!! He dropped in there like me plopping on the couch. Pretty sure he would have crushed his sack and broken several bones as well. Regardless, I always loved this movie.

Was my favorite Mad Max before Fury Road. As a kid, loved figuring out the sort of archeology of the kids culture and barter town.
Fury Road is not a drama. It's a special effects and stunt showcase. It has nothing on this movie.

I liked it up until he met those kids. It was the equivalent of the Ewoks 2 years prior...brings the movie to a screeching hault.

Agreed. Its such a different film from the other two. Its more slick. It has its faults but overall its a great addition to the canon.
Beautiful first head shot of Max
It's both extravagant and decent at the same time. Definitely well made, the music really supports the immersion.
