- Mad Max is a former cop who finds himself in a post-apocolyptic desert town called Bartertown. He is hired by the leader of the city to fight in a gladiator like arena called Thunderdome, so he can kill Auntie's rival master blaster. He is later banished and finds a group of children that survived a plane crash during the war. They believe he is their former pilot Captain Walker. Some of the children leave to find their fabled tomorrow morrow land. So Mad Max has to save them from the desert and from Auntie's Bartertown.
- After being exiled from the most advanced town in post apocalyptic Australia, a drifter travels with a group of abandoned children to rebel against the town's queen.
- Or at least relatively. I must admit before I continue on in this review that I've never really "got" the Mad Max series. I knew I needed to see them because I'm a huge fan of Mel Gibson(Gallipoli, Braveheart, and Lethal Weapon 1 especially), but I suppose it just doesn't appeal to me. Now I will admit that "The Road Warrior" was a fine enough action film with a high octane chase scene I sure won't forget anytime soon, but the rest just didn't catch my attention. Likewise, the original "Mad Max" had a similarly memorable chase scene(though not quite as good) and some interesting ideas(certainly the sets and backgrounds were better in that film at least to me personally) and story elements, but still didn't quite do it for me. Though I would still probably give a fair 7/10 for both(though the first one was a bit better).<br/><br/>So you may ask, why even bother reviewing it then? Because, from my point of view, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" is a disappointment to even someone like myself. Why? How? Read on folks, read on.<br/><br/>In the beginning I mentioned how relatively speaking, this film is simply average. And by that I mean, if you come into this film wanting action, thrills, and a few laughs you'll get them, but all rather routinely and without the drive and energy the previous films had(basically the strongest points of them). But it's below average because of how the rest of the film basically insults the audience's intelligence as well as just overall being painfully inconsistent with the rest of the series.<br/><br/>But first I should probably mention the few strong points in the film: 1. First of all, the opening section is interesting, when we first get a view of Battertown(the place in which the film takes place) we are intrigued. 2. The early scenes between Mel Gibson and Tina Turner, which contains cliché, but well delivered dialogue, and a nice fight scene between Gibson and some of the guards. 3. The great, and famous thunderdome fight which is inventive, clever, and exciting. 4. The ending monologue, which has some fantastic visuals, and the words spoken are interesting.<br/><br/>I suppose one could count the obligatory final chase scene, but it just struck me as a watered down version of The Road Warrior's chase scene.<br/><br/>Now onto the obviously bad, WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE KIDS!!! Now I realize that George Miller was probably trying to broaden the popularity and appeal of the series given the unexpected success of "The Road Warrior" in America, but he could have done that without throwing something as far left as kids asking Max to help them find "Tomorrow Morrow Land"!? They drag the story down, and also have no character development or purpose(so we never feel anything for the characters), so in the end it was just them borrowing the Ewoks idea: Throw in something cute, and you'll make more money.<br/><br/>But also, it's just kind of annoying. It's all second rate stuff. The acting is hardly there a lot of the time, the costumes and sets could have been cool but just come across ugly and unpleasant, and the action scenes are tame and more importantly mind numbing.<br/><br/>There's little else to say. It's a very unpleasant film to watch, annoying, treats it's audience like they're all idiots who'll just gobble up whatever is thrown at them, and lacks anything that can't be found done in other movies better. Like the original Highlander(and I'm not even one of those Highlander cultists, it's just a pretty good movie), or the earlier Mad Max films.
- After all of his supplies are stolen "Mad Max" (Mel Gibson) walks to a small city in the middle of the desert known as "Bartertown" to try to retrieve what was taken from him. However, in order to get his supplies back he has to make a deal with the ruler of Bartertown known as "Aunty Entity" and she wants her main competitor killed. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this film started out great. Unfortunately, when the focus shifted from inside Bordertown to the desert, things began to deteriorate. Essentially, what started as a good post-apocalyptic action movie switched to a fantasy presumably made for a younger audience. At least that is my impression and I blame the directors (George Miller and George Ogilvie) for getting a bit too cute and trying to appease a more general audience and thereby forsaking the viewers who made up their base. As a result I have to rate this film as only average.
- The battle between Max and The Blaster in Beyond Thunderdome may be the best the series has to offer.
- Yes! Out at the Burning Man Festival, there is a camp called Deathguild that builds its own Road Warrior style cars and holds nightly battles in its own Thunderdome! Max regained his humanity by realising that the kids needed his help and were helpless in the twisted world they knew nothing of. In the script (and the novel) is a scene cut from the finished movie where Max falls asleep in Crack in the Earth and wakes up after having dreamt of his wife, son and partner Goose. He starts crying, realising that he has become "the same kind of human animal he had always despised, no better than those who had destroyed the ones he loved". Ultimately left up to the viewer to decide but the sight of him walking over the dunes with the spears suggests he returned to live out his life with the Feral Kids as their protector and guide, finally finding a new family and home after all these years. In his speech to the Feral Kids Max tells them "We're going to stay right here, we're going to live a long time and we're all going to be thankful", noticeabley referring to 'We'. They were the descendants of Captain Walker and the surviving crew and passengers of the passenger jet that Walker piloted. The story they tell about the apocalypse and Walker's crash landing in the desert is one that's been handed down through their time living in the canyon. When Savannah (who herself is pregnant) finds Max, she assumes that he's Captain Walker and that he's returned to lead them out of the desert to civilization. Years prior to Max' arrival, Walker and maybe a few of his crew and some of the passengers probably trekked into the desert to find a way back to civilization. During the battle with Blaster in Thunderdome, Max realizes, after knocking Blaster's helmet off, that the man is mentally handicapped. Remember in the last movie <a href="/title/tt0082694/">Mad Max 2 (1981)</a> was about Max regaining some of the personal humanity he lost in the first movie when he son and wife were murdered. In this film the writers decided to have a scene where Max is again reminded of his compassionate side -- he refuses to kill Blaster because he feels it's wrong to kill a man who doesn't understand the situation he's gotten into. Master had likely thought that Blaster would easily kill Max in the contest but Max outwitted them both with the whistle. Subsequently, the crowd cheers for Max to be let go and a furious Auntie shouts them all down by claiming that Max had reneged. Many people tend to think of a "gulag" as being a Soviet forced labor camp that existed during the era of communism in the Soviet Union in the 1900s however, the actual term itself refers to the government organzation that oversaw the deportation and housing of political prisoners sent to those camps. More info on gulag can be read here.<br/><br/>In the context of this film and Max' sentencing, Auntie & her people are using the term "gulag" to refer to exile in the desert, hence the Mardi Gras costume head being placed over Max' head while he's tied to a horse that they release into the desert. Auntie was probably banking on the idea that Max would die of thirst and dehydration in the desert & she'd be rid of him. Though his vocation before the apocalypse is never mentioned specifically, we can assume that Master was probably an engineer with expertise in running power-generating facilities like Underworld. He might also have been a civil engineer that planned communities and basic services involved like water, electricity, sanitation, trade services, etc, so he was very valuable, possessing a certain type of brilliance in this arena. Because of his protective partner, Blaster, Auntie was never able to fully exploit him and had grown sick of his arrogance and opportunistic attitude, so she waited until she found someone who could dispose of Blaster: Max. Max, who's very savvy, as we all are aware, also saw the potential in Master to help build a new civilization for Walker's children. Max, who slowly regains his compassion and humanity through the series, probably believed that Master shouldn't be a slave to Auntie in Bartertown, so he decided to free him. No, Bruce Spence plays a different character. Although both are pilots, the Gyro Captain from Mad Max 2 was said to become the leader of the survivor group from that film. Then the narrator of MM2 mentions that when he grew up, he eventually took over the group. So it stands to reason that the Gyro Captain would not be found in Barter Town if he was still leading a group at that time. Also, Max and Jedediah (the character from this film) see each other on more than one occasion and never have a moment where they recognize each other. It's possible she was, however it could be said that because she was trying to run Bartertown, criminally or otherwise, she made this comment to suggest that her, being a leader, and Max being former Law Enforcement make them a great pair. a5c7b9f00b
