Mad Max 2
Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.

unlabelledView post →I want to say Naked but I don't think that's accurate to how Leigh's process (which which I am honestly mostly unfamiliar) works. But it's Naked anyway, a movie that uses words the way Mad Max 2 uses trucks.
unlabelledView post →For years & years I couldn't understand why younger friends were not even remotely impressed by MAD MAX 2. Finally realised they'd only ever seen it on TV, probably panned and scanned. Imagine, if you will, this moment - at 2:45 - in 70 mm 6-Track.

Was he busy revising? No, he’d been to the cinema 8 times that week. For the same film. Mad Max 2. The exams went fine... 1/2

unlabelledView post →There was a BOSS time at the movie theater in 1981 where you could choose between seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark or Escape from New York! There was also Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, which I won't bring into the discussion. That's not because the movie is bad (it owns), but because fuck Mel Gibson.
unlabelledView post →Next up Mad Max 2 or as I know and love it The Road Warrior. Just a perfect film. Absolutely flawless. One of if not the greatest action films of all time. Truly iconic, mythic, just a towering achievement. That last 18 minutes! One of the greatest action sequences of all time.
unlabelledView post →Now playing: Escape from New York To think that you could have gone to a movie theater in 1981 and have the choice of seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (with the necessary disclaimer of "fuck Mel Gibson"), and/or Escape from New York. Anywho, GAAAAAAAAAH. So damn metal! 📽️

(Not sure if it was an official reissue in the 80s or an independent screening.) 1971: Harold & Maude just edging out The French Connection. 1981: Raiders of the Lost Ark. (Could've been Mad Max 2, but screw Mel Gibson.) 1991: Delicatessen.

unlabelledView post →It's okay. Oh, and also, WHAT? 😂 "The Road Warrior" (a.k.a. "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior") is by far the best! Knocked me over when I first saw it. "Mad Max," the original is a hard-edged action movie, with one of the most incredible car chases ever at the beginning. #FrightClub

unlabelledView post →Mad Max 2 is the finest action film of the 80s in my book, despite a strong field. But then I also first saw it in a cinema.
unlabelledView post →I recommend the Blank Check miniseries on George Miller, which puts Happy Feet within the context of his career. e.g. Babe (1995) is a George Miller passion project that he wrote and produced. He'd also been mulling over an Antarctica movie since Mad Max 2, then the Happy Feet script came along.
