MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981)
Apparently the first Mad Max movie initially was not all that popular in the USA. Therefor the original Australian title Mad Max 2 would not have made much sense to American audiences. That explains why it was eventually released titled just as The Road Warrior.
It is a few years later and after the tragic death of his wife and child, Max had become a loner. The world is still in chaos and fuel had become a scarce and valuable commodity. He then gets entangled in the battle between a small oil producing community and a bunch of crazies who will do anything to get their filthy hands on the precious liquid.
This movie contains some of the best car chase scenes ever filmed for the big screen. Fortunately for this particular disc I viewed they did not again tamper with the original Aussie soundtrack which makes it much more palatable for the average viewer. If you liked the first one, you will love this one. It sort of sets the tone for most post apocalyptic films that followed in its wake. This is recommended viewing for all fans of this genre and I scored it 3 out of 5 stars as well.
