We’re kicking off a new Triplecast series focusing on movie sequels that are better than their predecessors. In this series we’ll be watching Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Evil Dead 2, and The Silence of the Lambs.
In this episode we look back at the 1981 post-apocalyptic cult classic, “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.” This film is highly regarded for its costuming style and ferocious cars. Mad Max 2 was the launching point that propelled Mel Gibson into world wide fame as an A list Hollywood actor. We’ll take a look at the movie’s impact on film and television, discuss its place in film history, discuss the use of music, cinematography, props, and characters. We also discuss the stunts and car chases, the geopolitical message of the film, where the film comes up short, and much more!
