Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third in the trilogy, is considered by some to be the least of the trilogy, and by others to be the best. It is certainly the most interesting and imaginative of the three, and definitely the most fun. Where Mad Max and Road Warrior were fairly straight forward action flicks, this one is much more of an adventure film, taking a bit of inspiration from films like Indiana Jones, where the previous films were more along the lines of classic westerns. It is, of course, one of the all time must download internet movies.
While the first two were all-Australian financed, this one was made with a lot of money from American investors. The movie is also the least violent of the trilogy. This actually rubbed a lot of longtime fans of the series the wrong way, leaving them wondering “What was that? Nobody even got shot in the face!” But really, this relative lack of blood is part of what makes it so worthwhile, and more than just a rehash of the other two films.
While scouting locations, George Miller’s producer, collaborator and best friend Byron Kennedy died in a helicopter accident. The bloodlessness of the film may be explained by this event. It is likely that Miller was turned off by the idea of violence and carnage, and chose to create an action film that’s high on thrills, but low on the body count total, so he rewrote the script to be a little less… Lethal, when it comes to the action sequences that occur throughout.
Certainly, Mad Max is much less Mad this time. More like… Able To Forgive Under the Right Circumstances Max. He doesn’t actually kill a single bad guy directly in the entire film. He does smash into another character in a game of chicken, but we never see this character die, so this is certainly the least violent film of the trilogy, showing that Max has outgrown his rage and become a more responsible, forgiving man.
The film takes place nearly two decades after the previous movie in the series, with nearly all of civilization and humanity having finally succumb to famine, plague and exposure. The movie really feels like it takes place some decades later, even though the productions were only separated by a few years. Max has grown his hair out, and his clothing really shows its age.
Within the wasteland, a new society has formed: Bartertown. This is the only known outpost of civilization, run by Auntie Entity, as played by Tina Turner. Many scoffed at her turn as villain in the film, but she really knocks it out of the park, looking very much at home in the post apocalyptic setting. Interestingly, she’s not just a two dimensional villain, but a pragmatist who hopes to see humanity survive, and will resort to ruthless, extreme measures to see that end through.
Max finds his way to another small civilization, a group of children abandoned in the Outback after an airplane crash. They meant to fly to safety and never made it there, and they long for “Tomorrow-morrow Land”, which they paint on cave walls as Sydney, Australia.
Watching Max take them on this perilous journey through the Outback, through Bartertown, and eventually “Beyond Thunderdome” is really an exhilarating, epic adventure, and while many hardcore fans prefer The Road Warrior, Thunderdome is, without a doubt, well worthy of the rest of the trilogy, and many consider it to be the very best of the series.
