Writers: Terry Hayes, George Miller
Cast: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston
Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
About: In a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland where water and gasoline is a rare commodity...a hardened drifter, Max (Mel Gibson) appears on the scene and enters into a contract with a group of people who are trapped in a fortress like compound. They're gasoline rich, but surrounded by murderous bandits who want their gasoline.
Review: Totally awesome! This does exactly what it's designed to do and does it better than any movie of its type. It's full of interesting characters with their own quirks. There are lots of cool and strange looking autos too. But most of all it's got the coolest dude to hit a dystopian sunset...Mad Max. Mel Gibson created one hell of an iconic figure and along with his hot rod car, the last of the V8 Interceptors and his helpful dog, he kicks sci-fi ass.
Stunts! those are a huge part of the film and let me say a well executed stunt is just as impressive as some artsy camera movement. The tanker chase down a long stretch of road has enough crazy stunts to impress anyone and those are real stunts, not CG stuff.
On a personal level this film holds a deep meaning for me...it's tenet that runs through this movie and also in Beyond Thunder Dome...The cool thing about Road Warrior is that despite all of the carnage and violence, Max has a personal code of honor that he holds to and I admire that.
