MAD MAX 3: BEYOND THUNDERDOME (1985)
This is the third an final film of the original trilogy with Mel Gibson as Max. And although the recent production Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is generally regarded as the third sequel (ie #4 of the franchise) it is actually more of a remake of The Road Warrior.
In this movie, however, Max is wandering through the desolate wilderness when he stumbles upon Bartertown, a cutthroat village which is apparently run by a ferocious female called Aunty Entity (played by Tina Turner). He then is challenged to a fight to the death in the Thunderdome arena. But because he refuses to kill his opponent off he is banished to the desert where he is condemned to die of thirst. Here he is then discovered by a lost tribe of wild children who see him as their savior.
This movie maybe best known for its soundtrack as performed by Tina Turner and more particularly the great song "We Don't Need Another Hero". Besides that, the story line is a bit more developed than the previous two deliveries which makes it somewhat more interesting. Of cause there is the obligatory chase scene to satisfy any adrenaline junkie. In the end, I also scored it 3 out of 5 stars.
