This is the benchmark for post apocalyptic movies

This movie was a lot of fun, but I can't help feel as if some of the characters were wasted.

Really brings the Mad Max series into full speed (heh heh). A lot of similarities with the western genre as well with the themes

Perfecr blend of camp and serious action. Tbe Humungous is both hilarious and terrorfying. Best of the Gibson trilogy

This movie is filled with crazy characters that make you feel how mad the world is which in turn makes the post apocalyptic world amazing.

You can see why the 4th film took full inspiration from the final action scene in this film.

A Very much Overlooked Mad Max Film, A Absolute Must Watch!! Super good!!! And I rare case where the sequel is Better.

John Scognamiglio

Great minimalist story propels mad max….this is a great anthology series

Story takes place in post-apocalyptic Australia where fuel is scarce. This a rare case where the sequel is better. Great action and setting.

Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.
