I watched "The Road Warrior" this weekend and am just now typeing the review. I really liked this movie a lot, it defiently was a good action movie, but I do have my complaits. 1) MAX LOOSES HIS CAR! What's up with that!? That car was awesome! When I saw it upside down in the ditch I was thinking "NOOO! Well it can still be fixed that base has mechanics" But when I saw the fuse in it I was thinking "Good bye cool car". 2) MAX LOOSES ANOTHER DOG! Shesh I mean does Geroge Miller LIKE killing everydog Max has, that dog was pretty cool, I always hate it when dogs are killed in movies, I wonder if Mad Max 3 kills another dog of Max. Anyway those are my only complaints and I give this movie a 5/5 same as the first movie, I recomend the first two Mad Max movies for sure (don't know about the third one though, I havn't seen it.)

The 3rd one isn't as good as the first two, but it's okay . . .
The third one's tough to recommend if you loved the first two so much. It's not that it's bad, it's just.. different. The Thunderdome is a cool idea, but the movie is more like Mad Max lite. Don't get me wrong, I still loved it, but on a different level than I did the first two. Tina Turner as the main villain was pretty.. odd, but other than that, a pretty good movie. Not a classic like Road Warrior, but not horrible, either.

Man, is EVERYONE watching them right now? I just uploaded a Mad Max review last week, and the review for The Road Warrior is in the hopper waiting for my post-apocalyptc July.
The Road Warrior is one of those movies I never tire of watching. The Humungus is such a great villain. Think about it:
For a villain in that type of flick, he's a freakin' genius.
He's well spoken.
He somehow manages to keep his body built in a post-apoc wasteland.
He wears a metal hockey mask.
He can build a huge truck/tractor thing with enough power to run down Max's interceptor.
He has invented TARDIS technology for his nitrous bottles.
He can do that vein-popping thing over his entire head.
He sacrificed himself so that his followers could capture the gasoline (too bad it was just dirt).
He's just great.
So that's what his name was I never knew that, could somebody tell me what the name of the guy with the mohawk and that crossbow on his hand. I just called this guy Spade because there was a villian that looked a lot like him from "Fist of the North Star".

Wait a sec I meant to write this "Road Warrior/ Mad Max 2" I meant Mad Max "2" not the orignal.

According to the IMDB, his name is Wez, played by Vernon Wells.
