[net.movies] MAD MAX: Beyond the Thunderdome

martys@ISM780.UUCP (07/12/85)

The third sequel of the MAD MAX series is by far the best.  Instead of losing
plot as most other series do, MAD MAX continues to stay fresh and exciting.
Rather than making a picture with little plot and all action, George Miller
comes up with a good script and a ensemble cast that work well together.

The things that MAD MAX was famous for were the chase scenes.  "Beyond the
Thunderdome" does not introduce the chase scene until the end of the movie
and it isn't even missed.  Tina Turner does remarkably well in the film as
Aunty Emity.  Mel Gibson puts in another great role as Mad Max.

This is one of the few movies that is worth the standing in line for.  Of
course, I happen to biased since I have been a Mad Max fan for years, not
to mention a Mel Gibson fan.
