I like it more than Road Warrior. Road Warrior is an awkward transitional movie that isn't as gritty and bleak as the original but lacks the flair of Thunderdome's comic book-esque exaggeration.
Nothing, its very underrated. Tina Turner is a surprisingly great villain, Master Blaster was great, running Barter town off of pig shit was a cool idea as the kids cargo cult, the Thunderdome fight was cool and the final chase scene was great even if it was derivative of Mad Max 2.
Miller didn't really want to make it. The only part he really was interested in was the tribe of lost kids and their cargo cult which was interesting; but also the most dull part of the film.
I've never understood why Thunderdome got shit on so hard by critics while Fury Road got treated like a masterpiece. I liked both of them and I view them as being of similar quality while The Road Warrior stands out as the best of the series.
Tina Turner's theme song for it was also pretty rad.
Miller's friend and guy who produced the first two movies was killed in a helicopter crash while location shooting, Miller's heart wasn't in it and he handed off a lot of the actual directing to someone else despite being listed as the lead director still
Was the airplane pilot the same guy as the gyrocopter pilot from the Road Warrior? There's a scene where Max points at him and says "YOU!" as in they knew each other which would make sense.
it's supposed to be a different character. Max says that because he somehow knows it's the guy who stole his camels. the same actor was used just because they couldn't find anyone else suitable for the role. it's confusing and i'm sure a lot of people think it's the same character
It clearly isn't the same character because the Gyro-copter pilot was Max's friend by the end of the previous film, and went off with the survivors of the oil refinery. The people that think that it's the same character are fricking moronic.
He means 'YOU' as in it was you who stole my vehicle and camels. Bruce Spence played both the gyro-copter pilot and the aeroplane pilot but it is not the same character. It was a bizarre choice by Miller, I remember watching Thunderdome for the first time and being baffled by seeing Max's erstwhile friend, who now has a son, stealing Max's shit.
i liked it, but they should have thought of something better.
The scene with the moving train didn't fit because the track they were shooting on had too much greenery.
The kids were trash. The Bartertown stuff though was awesome.
OP is a fricking raggedy man, as usual.
it's a good movie
The audience was (and still is) too dumb to appreciate it.
What was Ironbar's deal with the kabuki mask anyway?
The PG-13 rating, that's by far the worst thing about the movie.
Can’t we just get beyond thunderdome?
Nothing.
the death of Byron Kennedy
>Who runs Shire Town?
>You do Sharkey.
Tina Turner was hot in this. Imagine being pegged by Auntie...
The director's best friend just died and he didn't give a frick anymore. Also, he only directed half the movie.

The irony is that her song has a lot more thematic depth than the narrative of the movie.

Also no Interceptor.
Should have used his corpse as a prop in some wreckage.
Always though it was kind of implied the camels are hauling what's left of it. It's the same model cab mounted to an F-150 chassis.
i saw that movie after i´ve lost my virginity, for me, it's kino
Was she hot?
They didn't need another hero

barely any action until the climax
