The best of the three

Thunderdome is easily t best of the Mad Max movies. It's got a cool plot, a good soundtrack, and a wonderful cast of characters. Max and Aunty Entity are both cool as he!! and Ironbar and Pigkiller are hallarious. If you like Mel Gibson, then you'll love this film

Also, this is the only PG-13 Max movie, so if you don't like nudity or a lot of rough language, this is the Max film for you


Stands Fine on it's own

It's a funny thig about the Mad Max Trilogy, with me with each one I'm left saying that's the best one. Mostly because all of them are good in their own right. Beyond Thunderdome is different from the other 2 though. Instead of most the action taking place with cars it takes Max to Bardertown where he has to make a deal with it's ruler "Tina Turner" inorder to get his car back. He finds himself having to fight Blaster in Thunderdome, a giant cage where 2 men enter and one man leaves. When Max refuges to kill his opponent he's sent to a desert to dye. After passing out and being nearly dead, he's rescued by these weird natives that believe he's a pilot named Walker. They believe he can flly them out of there to a distant city.

Beyond Thunderdome gets a little corny when Max meets the natives mostly because they're annoying it's pretty obvious he's not the Walker fellow although he looks exactly like him. The natives and their home most likely inspired Spielberg for the look of the Lost Boys and their village in Hook though.

This film probably has the best look of the 3 and possibly more Science Fiction too. Plus it does have the usual car duals at the end where Max fends off the natives from the Barder town freaks. The action in that scene is fantastic by the way. Die hard Max fans will probably like this one the least, it's different from the other 2 but it still stands very well on it's own. It's the lightest but it's still sexy, has the most imagination and it's action is pretty damn good too. Now if only it had a better dvd, "hint, hint", lol.

MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME: Funny and Childish Movie

In the year 1985, one last movie to complete a series was released. It was the third film to the Mad Max trilogy. Mel Gibson plays Max Rockatanski, the postnuclear hero, one last time. But this film is quite different from the first and second. It is nothing like "Mad Max" at all. The only way it is like "Road Warrior" is because it is also taking place during a post-apocalyptic time period as well. But there is hardly any action in this film and it doesn't seem so violent like the other two either. It's as if this one was meant to be a funny movie and more likely a type of movie for children. The only big action scene is this movie is the fight Max has with Blaster, big guy who is part of a little guy called Master, in the Thunderdome. The action conflict in this movie kinda seems dorky and not so violent like the one in "Road Warrior." Tina Turner also stars in this film as the evil villain of this story. She sang two great songs for this movie as well. "One of the Living" and "We Don't Need Another Hero." The reason I really don't like this movie as much is because it is boring mostly in the middle because Max is wasting time around a bunch of ignorant children who think he is somebody he's not. Nothing but annoying chanting and all. But I guess it is a funny movie because the music is trying to make you feel happy unlike the music in "Road Warrior" which tries to point out that times are terribly depressing. But Max redevelops his heart in this movie and no longer is an anti-hero at the end. He is a true hero and comes to realize he is the chosen one for restoring humanity. I wish this one had been more like the "Road Warrior" and at least related some to "Mad Max."

The Desert Warrior???

While you can't really blame "Thunderdome" for failing to live up to its predecessors, Mad Max and The Road Warrior, you can find mild irritation in the fact that there isn't a single highway in this movie. Now, from what I've seen of this post-apocalypse future, venturing off into the desert would be a big mistake. The replacement of water instead of fuel as the main source of power also dragged the film into the world of desert cliches. Not that the action scenes aren't spectacular, they just don't seem to fit with the rest of the movie.

En totale, rent this to polish off your Mad Max experience, it is about the equivalent of the third Alien movie. Just be warned, no one in this movie wears pants, except for Max.
