  • "Never has a film's vision of the post-nuclear holocaust world seemed quite as desolate and as brutal, or as action-packed and sometimes as funny as in George Miller's apolcalyptic THE ROAD WARRIOR, an extravagant film fantasy..."

  • "...MAD MAX 2 is a stunning technical achievement....Bigger, bolder, and infinitely more spectacular and powerful than the original..."

    You're not a coward. STUPID, maybe. But not a coward

    George Miller's sequel to the Australian hit film 'Mad Max' takes us to the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Australian Outback where our hero must choose between defending the last shreds of civilized life or plunge himself into the depraved depths of anarchy.

    Although the opening scene in this film starts off where the first one ended, there isn't much continuity between the two films. The first film is set in a rather civilized setting where Mad Max is exacting revenge on an average biker gang that killed his family. In the 'Road Warrior' there are no towns or any signs of civilized life other than a small group of squatters holding an isolated oil well and refinery. The settlers are continuously besieged by hordes of punks/anarchists on bikes and muscle cars who want the installation as a criminal base of operation. Although at first coming to the settlers as an opportunist only looking for gas, Mad Max finds his humanity and helps the settlers free themselves from their attackers.

    This is a great post-apocalyptic film with some of the best car chases ever put on film. A fast-paced plot with a good script keeps the audience on the edge of their seats until the final showdown.

    More thrilling

    The first Max Max was cerebral and showed how he became what he became. This sequel is more action packed and centres around a small band of people who have managed to produce petrol is a land where there is none.

    Max helps these people against a band of marauding group of people willing to kill anyone for the petrol.
