This is a stupid movie. I somehow managed to avoid it all these years. I wish I could still say that.

This just could have been more realistic. :critic:
Max is very angry now because the bad guys just ran over his wife and baby.
I just realized there hasn't been a single F word in this movie yet. Amazing.

"Mad Max" was a very low budget film that became a cult hit in it's own country of Australia.
Obvously, "The Road Warrior" ("Mad Max 2 in AUS") had a much bigger budget due to it's Aussie success, and surpassed "Mad Max" in all regards...especially here in the States...where we had not seen "Mad Max" until after "RW" had made it big.
I think "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" was quite weak...but that was due to the Tina Turner / little kids factor, IMO. Though..the reference of "Two men enter, one man leaves" seems to have stuck with us.

Yeah...that certainly didn't help Mel. I think it's part of being Aussie...slag off at the cops at any given opportunity!
Oh well...at least he's being humble (smart) about it. We all know, nowadays...an apology and contriteness will get you further than the coverup/ denial will.

I'm a Russell fan too.
I'm thinking I give 'em more slack cause I prolly could've been in trouble for the same thing..and reacted the same way...as they did.
Only differece being..that I (as a non-celebrity) would be rotting in a jail cell.
Oh well....that's the way it is.
I'm a great liar. Maybe enough so to be President someday!
