What the hell was the screenwriter guy smoking (cause I need some of it) when he wrote this? Why would they burn pigs for fuel and how can they randomly find a big valley full of water in the middle of a nuclear desert? And also, how would there be a group mass of children sitting there saying, “Our prophecy’s fulfilled. We are going to fly back to the city.”? Mel Gibson has got to be the worst actor they could find for this movie because he was trying to get rid of his Austrailian accent while adopting an American one, so it comes out sounding like a preadolescent monkey! All the copies of this movie deserve to be burn, the screenwriters should hang their heads in shame, and all affiliated with the production should hide out in the boonies. Gibson should go back to his native tribe, the Aborigines. You’re not welcome in America anymore!

If you want to watch a Mad Max movie, buy the original because that’s the only one that’s worth it. This was a joke, plain and simple. Infact, it couls possibly be the worst film i’ve ever had the displeasure to see. The whole ‘futuristic’ setting is flawed with cheap and badly made costumes, make up and props such as swords and blades which look plastic. It was obviously made on a show-string budget. The filming and direction is nothing special, the script is terrible and the fight scenes are laughable beyond belief. It certainly appears that no proper training or rehersal went into any of it.
And the plot is boring, and the whole film drags on and on…..

Wow, are you kidding? Words don’t express my dissatisfaction with this pile of dung. Mad Max was fantastic, Road Warrior was wonderful. This bomb should have been used as a directors training film on how to mess up a sure thing. I guess it’s just too easy to foul up a sequel when you can’t figure out why the audience liked the originals and your star isn’t really interested in the project. Sorry Mel, but even you can’t save this one.

Mad Max and Road Warrior were brilliant essays on society’s need for a hero, and the inevitable triumph of a society that HAS a hero.
Hollywood needed a way to package the Mad Max franchise and present it to an American audience, and Tina Turner had a hit album out back when the movie was made, so Thunderdome seemed like a good idea to the accountants on the committee that made this movie.
Interesting to note that the “We Don’t Need a Hero” Tina Turner song was in this movie. So any Mad Max movie in which a Hero is needed- that’s a good movie.
It’s also interesting to compare Mad Max/Roadwarrior to Lethal Weapon, in which they DO talk about needing a hero. In fact many of the scenes in LW are extremely similar to scenes in MM/RW, if you change the clothes the actors are wearing and the setting. Just change Max Rockatanski’s reflexes for Rigg’s shooting accuracy, and you can see that the Mad Max franchise was successfully repackaged as the Lethal Weapon franchise.
So go buy Mad Max, Road Warrior, Lethal Weapon, or Lethal Weapon 4, but Thunderdome is dross.
