its-UMA-UMA-UMA UMA UMA UMA best movie ever and if they make Mad Max 5 it should be a cheeseburger apocalypse I approve this message by UMA UMA UMA
TheBigSick The 1981 movie "The Road Warrior" is a highly overrated action film. The story is naive and the action sequences are mediocre. There is simply nothing thrilling. Perhaps the only surprising scene is when Wez climbs up the truck and scares the Feral Kid. It can hardly match its 2015 sequel "Fury Road".
Amy Adler In Mad Max One, Max Rockatonsky (Mel Gibson) was a great cop. But, the earth was falling apart from a destructive world war and his job got much, much harder. Finally, when his wife and young son were killed, Max walked away from the force after sticking it to the bad guys one more time. Now, he and his dog roam the wasteland of inner Australia, always on the lookout for food and fuel. He has, one observes, become a "shell of a man". No wonder. The human race has self-destructed, with lawlessness and chaos the rule. In the outback, Max has a close encounter with a gang of marauders. One member in particular, Wez (Vernon Wells, superb), sporting a mohawk and exhibiting ruthless behavior, is miffed that Max wins the first round. He shouts out that revenge will be his at some later date. Then, Max stumbles upon a gyrocopter pilot and his underground home. It WAS Max's idea to steal some fuel but, after the pilot has a run in with the fierce canine, this loner tells Max about a nearby compound with an immense cache of gasoline. It's true. As Max and Gyro watch from a hiding place, they spy the gang trying to bargain with the honorable folks of the well guarded fortress. Then, all too soon, the gang captures a small number of heroes, sent from the compound to look for a truck to haul the fuel. Those caught are killed, horribly. In retaliation, a small feral boy kills Wez's partner with a sharp boomerang. Hate fills the gangs' hearts. After Max finds a way to talk to the fortress folks, he proposes two things. One, he knows where a suitable truck is concealed in the desert. And, two, he Max wants a huge amount of fuel in exchange from him delivering the truck at night. Will these folks trust Max? Will anyone survive the terror of the vicious gang members? This classic film, a sequel which is even better than the first movie, is thrilling, in a dark, dark way. The violence is horrific so no one under 18 should really see it and even then, some won't want to chance it. But, beneath its rough exterior is a superb dystopian tale of survival, loyalty, and courage. Gibson is terrific as the wanderer whose heart is so damaged, he can scarcely go on. Likewise, Wells is absolutely terrifying in one of the most applauded villain portrayals of all cinema. All of the other cast members are fine, too. The setting of desert wasteland has to be seen to be believed and the costumes are very original and fitting. Add on a great script and a relentlessly driven direction and the results are staggering. The Road Warrior deserves its place in the action movie hall of fame.
Tweekums Set in a remote Australian desert sometime after the collapse of society the few remaining people struggle to find fuel. Gangs of scavengers prey of those weaker than themselves and show no mercy. Not everybody who travels alone is weak though; former police officer Max drives his V8 Interceptor through this wasteland and those who attack him are likely to come off worse. One day he meets the 'Gyro Captain' the pilot of an autogyro who tells him of a nearby settlement where they have plenty of fuel… which they aren't keen to share. Max and the Captain see a gang attack members of the settlement who were trying to leave. Max helps one and takes him back but it is too late. It turns out the people there are planning to leave however they have nothing to pull their fuel tanker and little chance of getting past the marauding gang led by The Humungus. Max knows where there is a truck that can pull it so offers to get it in exchange for fuel. Once they have got the truck their problems are far from over; getting away from the gang will not be easy and they will suffer many casualties.This is the classic post-apocalyptic movie and to my mind is the best of the original trilogy. The action is turned up to eleven and even though the story is pretty simple it is still exciting from start to finish. The villains may look ridiculous with their punkish appearance but that is part of what makes them more entertaining than the more traditional biker gang of the original film. The action includes impressive car chases across the desert, shootings, explosions, fights aboard the speeding tanker and a child with a lethal metal boomerang! Little time is wasted on character development although Max is a great protagonist for this sort of film and The Gyro Captain and the Feral Kid provide plenty of entertainment. The acting is pretty solid although to be honest this is the sort of film one watches for the action not to see great thespians at work! Overall this is definitely worth watching if you want lots of great action.
