Review of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) by Conner R — 22 Nov 2010
"Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves!" -The rules of the Thunderdome. While this movie just in no way measures up to the first two in the series, it has the coolest futuristic game ever created. It's an even more brutal and violent form of a gladiatorial match.
Really, there's nothing terrible about the movie, it just doesn't deliver the same feeling or adrenaline rush that it theoretically should have. This also gave birth to what would later become Waterworld, so inevitably you'll associate the two together in your mind.
Perhaps the reason it is most enjoyable is one man: Mel Gibson. His utter coolness and ability to make any movie look better makes this a memorable adventure into post-apocalyptic Australia. Tina Turner is actually strangely effective as a villain, but there's just no comparing her to the previous bad guys in the series.
