You're not a coward. STUPID, maybe. But not a coward
By JediSi (301 reviews) from Kent , 04 Sep 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

Please be aware before watching
By widescreenglory (7 reviews) , 20 Jan 2013Before watching, you might like to know that this version is panned and scanned and not shown in its original 2. 35:1 ratio. This is the second film I have come across at Love Film that has shown the incorrect ratio of the movie.- Was this review helpful to you?
