this
Did
Saw steal from
Mad Max?
Cuz the very ending was basically a 5-minute version of
Saw...
Road Warrior was on after it....Son.
I thought people hyped it up, cuz they were just ODin on campy nostalgia. But
Mad Max 2 is the rare awesome cable classic from when you were a kid, that still turns out to be pretty awesome today. I love this movie. Mad Max is that dude. The pace, the mood, the characters, the action, the moments. Everything is on point for what it is and so damn particular and memorable.
Little babboon boomerang kid...Mohawk chaps...Gimp Bane...Go cart copter dude.
I mean it's the regular, man with no name trips into town and helps the little people out, but it's got it's own style, it's own rules, it's own world.
And the movie is just ruthless and brutal and crude for the hell of it. It's just a handmade oddity. Like a biker gang decided to make a movie.
And Mel killed it. POS human being, awesome action lead.
Man...that's a damn good movie, still...better than
Commando.
I was about to say eff it to the game and watch
Thunderdome...but of course, after
Mad Max 1 & 2, they put on
Catwoman.
