Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
Directed by George
Miller this sequel stars Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence and Emil Minty. Now
a loner travelling the desert roads Max helps a small community
escape a vicious gang.
Between films the
setting has moved on from a crumbling society to full on
post-apocalyptic and the plot fits in with a standard Western
archetype. There is not much new in the basic story but the execution
of the setting came to be definitive of 80s post-apocalyptic worlds.
Probably the highlight is the action sequences which are much better
thanks to the increase in budget and have some real scale to them.
4/5
