Summary: ...
Review: Of the three Mad Max movies, this the middle installment, is my favorite. Great action combined with appropriate costumes and the use of the outback terrain for location filming accentuates the continuation of the Mad Max saga.While Mel Gibson grew sick and tired of filming in adverse conditions such as this and "Thunderdome", it is these movies vs. the cheesy more mainstream Lethal Weapon flicks that Gibson's fans will look back upon with fondness.

Summary: The best of the Mad Max series
Review: Interestingly enough the preview extra of this movie shows (with Leonard Maltin) how the first of the Mad Maxs' was not well received in the USA and therefore this was released as "The Road Warrior".It is by far the best of the three with a great storyline that takes from the first of the series and progresses it to the third nicely. The story as a whole is better if you have seen the first of the series but it may not appeal to the US audience as much. As for action there are not a lot of movies that can touch this classic for realistic action that enhances the story as opposed to detracting from it. The truck chase at the end is truely spectacular particularly when you realise there is no computer enhancement here it is all stuntmen blood, sweat and tears. If you are going to buy one of the Mad Max Series this is the one you should go for.

Summary: Slight let-down after the original
Review: The second of the Mad Max trilogy, The Road Warrior, has some of the most exciting chase sequences ever filmed, but as a story, it lacks the intensity of the first film in the series. Perhaps this was inevitable - the first film ended with the background and character of Max established, with his world destroyed. The Road Warrior stays true to the first film in that there are no radical departures in setting and tone - but there are no great surprises and an air of predictability hangs over the film. The action is almost non-stop and very impressively filmed. It does leave the feeling that there's not much else to offer apart from the action, while some of the characters, such as the Gyro Captain and Humungous, seem overly cartoonish and detract from the dramatic impact that the film tried to maintain throughout. A rare quiet moment between Max and the Feral Kid, a small boy who clearly had lived all his short life in the post apocalyptic world, was the highlight of the film for me; Max clearly saw something of his own son, killed in the first film, in the Feral Kid. More of these moments, to offset the relentless action sequences, would have made the Road Warrior a better all-round movie. Although a brief recap of the first film is included in this movie's opening minutes, I'd still recommend that the original Mad Max is viewed before the Road Warrior.

Summary: Why pontificate? It rocks.
Review: A gritty low-budget film with violence, fast cars, and a young Mel Gibson. It manages to be a "cool" movie while at the same time actually having a little to say about society. A great action movie with some substance to it. Oh, and a title so cool that professional wrestlers named themselves after it. What more could you ask for? It's obviously not the last word in acting or plot, but it has a soul, something few action movies seem to accomplish these days.

Summary: Great action flick, but flawed.
Review: Mel Gibson at his best. Definatly one of the best action movies ever made, along with Aliens and the Indiana Jones movies. Action packed the whole way through, [tough] characters, and exellent storyline. It overall is a great movie, but it has some seriously (...)acting! But the bad acting in Aussie is certainly better than the horrible acting of the actors who dubbed over Mel in Mad Max! For people who love good action, you got it right here. For people who are obsessed with violence and action look no further. Road Warrior is a classic action, worth the money and space on your shelf.

Summary: Who doesn't love the Road Warrior?
Review: This is an awsome movie. Most call it the best of the Mad Max movies (I say the 3rd one is) It's got a great plot, lots of super fast action, and memerable characters. There are some disturbing scenes in this film (fingers being severed for example) so be warned The Trailers and the "Making of" footage included on this video are a nice bonus

Summary: Mad Max 2 Is A Classic That Made Mel Gibson A Star!
Review: It's hard to believe, but originally no sequel was planned for Mad Max, an Australian film that became a box office smash in the country but was poorly released in America (with a terrible dubbed language track to boot). But director George Miller had been watching a lot of Westerns and realized why people had gravitated to the Max character. Slowly he came up with the idea for the sequel and went to work, this time with a bigger budget. The film takes place shortly after the original film, where by this point, society has decayed almost completely and all that matters is survival from the biker gangs who crave gasoline to power their vehicles. And in all this chaos is Max, an ex cop, gone mad from the loss of his friends and family. It's interesting to point out that Max had humanity in the 1st film, then lost it after his losses, so in this film there is very little humanity...just a dog eat dog world with every man for himself. Max is a burnout. My favorite scene is when Papagallo (Mike Preston), the leader of the small group with gas, starts attacking Max, asking him if he enjoys seeing each day blur into another out there on the road and what was it that burnt Max out. And when Pappagallo realizes it was loss that did this to Max he lets him have it by saying "You think you're special?" and godes him to the point where Max punches him to the ground. A nerve was struck. That scene is so powerful and is one of the reasons why this film is such a winner. The sets, characters and locations are first rate, giving a real feel for a desolate wasteland. If you haven't experienced this movie, rent it on DVD and watch the Widescreen version (2.35:1). Although I recommend seeing the original Mad Max first, it won't hurt if you don't, thanks to the nice recap at the beginning of Part 2. Because Mad Max was not a big hit here in America they decided to call the sequel "The Road Warrior", but everywhere else in the world it's known as "Mad Max 2" or "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior". This was done because Americans might not go see a sequel when they've never even heard of the original. The trailer you get on the DVD in the USA even refers to the movie as "Mad Max 2" and one thing I found interesting was that the Humungus has a different voice on the trailer from the voice he uses in the actual movie. Did he get dubbed? The DVD looks and sounds great thanks to Warner Brothers, who remastered the picture and sound quality. One disappointment is that the latest VHS release included a retrospective documentary on the film that is not included on the DVD. Let's hope they include it on the next release soon. I love all three Mad Max movies, but I will admit that Mad Max 2 is the best of the trilogy, not to be missed. See how Mel Gibson became an international star. See Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. A true classic.

Summary: Like Time Magazine said: Apocalypse Pow!
Review: One of the best sci-fi action movies ever made. Influenced by "The Searchers", "Shane", and spaghetti westerns, The Road Warrior Mad Max 2 reinterprets the nitro accelerated road movie for the last phase of the last millenium. Maybe the finest action movie ever made.

Summary: Hell on wheels
Review: The story of Mad Max continues in the road warrior.Max has ventured into the forbidden zone.He left the society that killed his family,friends,etc.He has become a anti hero.He happens across a outpost of people who are tormented by a rogue gang of Psychopaths.They are the greatest bunch of nuts you will ever see.The chases make the film of course.The final chase last 13 mins.Max goes 85 miles a hour with 30 cars after him.I have seen this chase 200 times yet it never gets old.WEZ is the great villian in the film.He is not the leader of the band but is FREE to do as he pleases.Buy the widescreen as the pan and scam is a rip off.
