Mad Max Post Road Warrior

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2015)

I was a huge fan of the original and saw it when it first hit US theaters and set Mel Gibson on a path to super stardom. The original seemed a little weird and B grade at the time of it's release as it was visionary long before other apocalyptic movies of the genre. This movie seems to pay homage with similarities using a gas tanker and other similar vehicles, desert backdrop, and a music toy used by the feral boy in "Road Warrior. Many differences though in back story and the group Max has allied with to escape from the dregs trying to kill them. Great writing, direction, casting, acting, F/X, locations, and music.
