i wouldn't hold the third movie mullet against him, it didn't last very long and is as much a demand of the period as anything else

also because the third movie gets more flak than it deserves

I ---

COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU ANON

The third movie wasn't exactly the best thing to come in a VHS case, but it was easily more enjoyable for me than the original Mad Max, which is a classic but by no means the ultimate cinematic experience to have to sit through (I watch it very little tbh compared to the others). Everyone harps on Tina Turner being in the movie, and yes it's silly and she's over the top, but literally the movie before we had a Friday the 13th villain dubbed Lord Humungus with a funny voice and a bloke in assless chaps who had all the acting chops of John Travolta in Battlefield Earth, making hissing noises for no reason.

This series is totally ridiculous sometimes, but intentionally and not. Tina did her part very well, and a lot of people really, really like the thunderdome scenes. I think the thing people are most hung-up on are the Peter Pan neverland kid look-a-likes, but honestly, that is really a YMMV thing to me. I thought the idea of kids stranded in a post-apocalyptic world wasn't that bad. And the action scenes in MM3 are pretty decent, imo. Also Scrooloos, classy little bastard.

So yeah I agree with you ~~but I still demand the mullet burned~~. It's not a masterpiece or anything, and Miller hadn't really had his heart in making MM3 after the death of one of his film buds who had been very involved in the Mad Max franchise, but I prefer it over the original.

(Sorry Mad Max 1.)

but tina turner tho

i could listen to that song and the rest all day

all day

hi5 anon you and me can be friends, mad max to me is defined by being kind of ridiculous and over the top, so i didn't even bat an eye at mm3. tina turner was a perfect addition to the world.

and i'll be honest, i respect the first movie for creating a world in which the other movies can exist, but it's easily my least favorite entry to the franchise. tonally it feels completely different from the movies that came after it, and kind of boring.

but that's kind of what happens with your directorial debut, you have to work with what you have and start bringing in the money before you can really get into it. kind of like desperado could never have happened without el mariachi, or evil dead 2 needed evil dead to prepare the way first. they're all movies i respect historically, but don't really care to watch when i could always skip to the largely self-contained sequel instead.
