- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Good action in this movie with Mel Gibson.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2014MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR is about on-par with the first, slightly edging it out due to increased focus on character (even if the plot is about as thin) and bigger, more spectacular stunts.
This time, the world (or at least Australia) is in the full-on post-apocalypse and looks like a desolate wasteland, for the most part. Biker gangs still roam the countryside, only now they're more vicious and more outlandish as far as their fashion choices go. It looks they got their clothes from an S&M shop sometimes. They also rape and pillage as they hunt for that precious commodity, gasoline. Max has also changed since we last saw him. He's more grizzled and looks almost war-weary, and instead of policing he's been reduced to scavenging like everyone else. The only difference between him and the others is his code. On his travels he meets a group of survivors guarding a treasure trove of gasoline, only they don't have the means to transport it. So they enlist his help, all while being threatened (and eventually attacked) by a vicious gang led by a freak named Humongous.
Story-wise, the movie was about as thin as the last one. However, this time there are more characters and a smattering of humor as well. The characters that stood out the most to me were the Gyro Captain and one of the gang members with a red mohawk. There was also a feral child who provides some of the film's more endearing moments, and forms somewhat of a bond with Max. Generally speaking, I thought that the ensemble nature of this film is what makes it work. Sure, the stunts and special effects are excellent (and improved), but it was nice that the film didn't just rely on those elements to tell the story.
Still, I do have a couple minor complaints. First, it looked like some of the action sequences were sped up. This might be too much of a nitpick, but it gave off a silent film vibe that didn't exactly mesh with the overall tone of the film as a whole. Second, it took until about the halfway point for the narrative to really take shape and gain some focus. Not that there wasn't anything to like beforehand, but (and this is where my expectations were a little undercut) I was led to believe that the film would be a little more singular and direct than it actually turned out to be.
Still, I thought that the film and world it established were very well-realized. Also worthy of mention is the rousing score by Brian May (not of Queen). Overall, this post-apocalyptic action film isn't quite what I expected (but closer than what the last one turned out to be), but it's a fun ride that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator of the audience. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024This movie was memorable and thought provoking when i was a teen. I still enjoy watching it ever few years. If you have never seen it, just watch it, you will like it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024Cult classic movie
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2024A male lead. I’ve gotten so used to female lead action characters that I was initially surprised. The post apocalyptic movie takes place in a dystopian setting in which an oil refinery is surrounded by “vermin on machines” (I quote). Mel Gibson (aka ‘Max’) is the anti-hero who plays the traditional male role: kills the bad guys, saves the good people and then vanishes sort of like “Shane” in the iconic Western. I like the movie & plan on watching it several more times. I don’t think they could make a movie like this again in this day and age.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017Books could be (and likely have been) written about what makes "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" such a great movie: George Miller's unique vision of a dystopian wasteland filmed to perfection in the Australian outback, a litany of well thought-out characters even among bit players, the oft-copied but rarely duplicated way that Miller manages to set the mood repeatedly with little if any dialogue, and of course the cars and epic chase sequences. What you end up with is perhaps the perfect post-apocalyptic story: a lone man who lives by scavenging in the wastelands, hardened by the events of the first "Mad Max" film, and still driving the last of the V8 police interceptors. A series of events quickly leads him to an ethical crossroads: does he stay with the band of "civilized" people fruitlessly guarding the last working oil pump and refinery for who knows how far, against the band of marauders camped at their gates? Does he make a temporary bargain and run off with his small reward from them to once more disappear into the wastelands? Or can he find another option? The answer is well worth the time spent reaching it.
Spoilers follow, so if you haven't watched this yet, do please stop reading. :)
There is so much more to this movie than even the most detailed reviews here will reveal. The symbolism throughout: the distant raven's cry heard as Max enters each scene, foretelling the death which hollowed him in the past, and follows him thereafter. The beautiful, nuanced characters found on all sides of the conflict: the idealistic Pappagallo who leads the motley refinery crew, preaching hope and humanity all while being surrounded by death and futility; the opportunistic Gyro Captain who survives the wasteland through cunning and killing while exuding insanity from every pore, but who ultimately shines through as perhaps the most sane individual there; and perhaps the most brilliantly complex villain in non-"Batman" film history, The Humungus, a muscle-bound behemoth who lords over a band of ruthless killers yet quotes 18th century German poetry (in German), repeatedly shows patience and practical thinking in achieving his goal, and carries around an immaculate revolver in a case filled with military medals from numerous nations. Plus of course the scene-stealing dog (named "Dog"), who was rescued from a local animal shelter, trained for this film, and then retired to a life of luxury with one of the cameramen.
This is barely even scraping the surface. I've seen very convincing arguments that the entire story was a modern interpretation of ancient Greek tragedy (Miller's parents were Greek immigrants), lengthy commentaries on how avant garde the film was in casting women, homosexuals, and physically handicapped persons in strong roles (without dwelling on doing it), and of course numerous discussions on the political and environmental criticisms neatly wrapped into the back story of the picture (again, without being in-your-face about it).
In short, which truthfully would have been two paragraphs ago, this is so much more than just the quintessential post-apocalyptic action thriller, as evidenced by the numerous "best of" lists it continues to find itself on. This is a testament to exactly what a talented visionary with a (very) limited budget is capable of producing, and a film which rewrote its genre and redefined exactly what a "hero" can be in movies.

SUPER KLASSIKER TOP FILM !
VeganReviewed in India on February 17, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Excellence never gets old
Mind boggling. The first time I saw the movie decades ago, that's what I felt. After seeing the latest version of the movie - Road Fury - I was expecting to be a little underwhelmed, but was wrong. This movie stands on its own. Simply a pleasure to watch.
Note for Indian viewers: There are two brief sexual scenes, one being a brutal rape scene, all uncut, so think before letting children watch this movie.
George Miller is one of my favorite directors, with many of his movies in the top 100 movies I have watched. Babe- Pig in the City is another one of my favorites, Another Babe movie and Happy Feet 1 and 2 are fun movies especially for children, Twilight Zone is another one of his good movie.
