The Road Warrior Download

In the post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, gasoline rich, community escape a band of bandits.
Max is travelling in a post apocalypse Australia where Gasoline is the most valuable commodity. He becomes involved in a struggle between bandits and a town that has build defenses around a small refinery. He must cross the no man's land several times to allow them to make a dash for freedom, pursued by the bandits in their vehicles.
I don't suppose for a moment that the critics would consider this the best movie ever made, but I care not for their opinions anyway! This film consists of 90 minutes of non-stop action with only one instance of "the American swear-word" - a film I would not be embarrassed watching in company with my 80-year-old mother or my 30-year-old son! Much better than Mad Max - why did everyone have Yankee accents in Australia? - and much better than Beyond Thunderdome, where "the American swear-word" was in common usage.
'Mad Max 2' is one of the greatest action movies ever made. As a thrill ride, full of some astonishing car chases and stunts, it's really hard to beat. It's also one of the few sequels as good, or almost as good, as the original. I say "almost" because to be totally honest I still prefer the original. The character of Max in the second movie isn't really even a character, he's just an idea, though he has more screen time this time around. Mel Gibson makes a first rate action hero, but if you're looking for any kind of depth or subtext, this isn't the movie for it. The post-apocalyptic background is much more explicitly depicted in the second movie than the first, which I have always regarded as more of a biker movie than science fiction per se. 'Mad Max 2's style proved to be massively influential, not just for SF movies but for the world of rock'n'roll. In the mid 80s you couldn't throw a stick without hitting a rocker who liked like he wasn't auditioning for a role in the Mad Max series! The main reason I prefer the first movie over the second is that it had more interesting (and quotable!) bad guys. The Humungus, Wez and The Toadie (Kjell Nilsson, Vernon Wells, and Max Phipps) are to me nowhere near as cool as Toecutter, Nightrider or Bubba Zanetti (Hugh Keays-Byrne, Vince Gil and Geoff Parry), but that's just me. Whichever one is your favourite there's no denying that 'Mad Max' and 'Mad Max 2' are two of the most entertaining and influential exploitation movies of the late 70s/early 80s, and with them George Miller cemented his place in movie history. Oh, and they didn't do too badly for Mel Gibson either!
The Road Warrior is ferocious and unpredictable. It's energetic. It's peculiar. It's big and it's dirty. But mostly it's cosmically irrelevant. Hey, but, one thing's for sure, we are driven.
All DVD releases worldwide only contained the R-Rated versions, however, the Blu-ray surprisingly featured the two violence scenes (despite the US release's R-Rated sticker on the back). Papagallo's speech is still cut and the VHS releases are still the only ones featuring the complete movie. No, but seeing as how the gang tended to pillage, rape and kill everyone they came across, not too many women would be left by the end of each raid. We see that there were at least a few women in the gang who were likely just as vicious and brutal as the men in the gang. The rest of the crew probably looked at it as a free-range prison; You'd take what you could get, such as Wez and his submissive partner named "Golden Boy". Whether Golden Boy was a sex slave or a willing participant or both is up to the viewer to decide. Right after the Feral Kidkills Golden Boy with his boomerang, Humungus tells Wez, as he has him in a headlock and subdues him, "I understand your pain! We all lost someone we love." Despite his rather sociopathic, marauding nature, Humungus still understands what loss is. Also, being in the post-apocalyptic world, the religious/social stigma about homosexuality would likely all but vanish. a5c7b9f00b
