Overview

Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.

Viewing Notes

Alamo decided to show a 35mm print of The Road Warrior and Jenni and I headed out to check it out. I had always said it was one of my favorite movies and seeing it on the big screen really reinforced this for me. I was like a little kid, totally excited at every turn and even got goosebumps during all the big chase scenes.

I had never noticed the naked chick on the tail of the copter and some of the other small details, like floating dust when Max is up on the hill looking down on the activities of Lord Humongous. So, having those small details brought to life really made the movie so much more special for me.

Seeing this again, and the first time in a theater with a bunch of fans, on kickass 35mm, made me think that Road Warrior should be in my top ten favorite movies.
