Best Mad Max Movie

Hope this hasn't been done. Be sure to state your case.

I say Thunderdome. No stupid dubbing and a whacked out Tina Turner. Oh yeah, Master Blaster was the bomb.

My favorite is Road Warrior. I didn't really even like the other two.

Why not?

When I was in Serbia last year, some of my friends and I rented the Mad Max DVD, and it was my first time seeing it (seen the sequels lots of times before though). It was funny how in language selection, you could select the original Australian accent, or if you selected American, it was Mel Gibson again, doing a voice over in his best US accent.

We also tried the German dub, and the German lady voicing his wife sounded real sexy.

Anyway, 'twas a great movie.

Not enough "apocalyptic sci-fi/fantasy", I guess, and way too serious the whole way through. And the third one had Tina Turner, as well as a bunch of "lost boys" like it was some kind of Peter Pan remake. But mostly it's because it has Tina Turner.

What a silly poll. It's obviously The Road Warrior, by far.

It's not as cheap and simplistic as the original, nor is it as ridiculously cheesy as Thunderdome with Tina Turner and Peter Pan's Lost Boys transferred over into a new story.

EDIT: My gosh artwking...we said basically the same thing. You must have decent taste. Heh.

Oh come on! Tina Turner was kick ass in that movie! So was her little henchman. It had a ton of great characters! The lost boys things was pretty cool too. Come on! Pocky Clypse! It was awesome! You guys suck!

I liked Mad Max 2 a lot. Classic stuff.
I have to say, though, that in the same vibe I have a fondness for Los Angeles 2017. Especially with the insane french dubbing.

The first movie was ok, the second was awesome and the third one sucked, it was just like what sequels usually are. Complete waste of time and money.

Cool Falcons and Monaros aside, the first movie had little to offer. Even the presence of a be-wigged and chainmail-clad Tina Turner couldn't keep the third installment from being a parody of the second movie. It's The Road Warrior for me.

SakSquash · 01-11-2006, 11:35 AM

You're all nuts. That's it, i'm watching Road Warrior again tonight to see what the fuss is about.

Once A Villain · 01-11-2006, 12:06 PM

Ok Karmillo, fess up... What's this "Other" Mad Max movie that you think is better than the other three?

What? oh um....The...one where some guy steals max's son and he offers loads of money for the head of the kindnapper rather than the return of the son?

Gknight · 01-12-2006, 10:00 AM

The original is still the best.

Maquisard · 01-12-2006, 11:07 AM

Alright, I'm not the only one who likes it!
