This third instalment in the Mad Max sagas was released in the summer of 1985...and continues to follow the hellish life of ex-police officer Max Rockatansky.
** BRIEF PLOT **
Max Rockatansky, (played by Mel Gibson) was once an Australian police officer until he sought revenge for the death of his wife and children… now, a washed out loner, he simply wonders the desert trying to survive in the hell which is Earth…
Max is ambushed, losing everything he owns, he is left defenceless in the vast sands of hell… wondering the desert until he stumbles upon Bartertown, a small place where some very unsavoury characters live, which is run by Aunty Entity, (played by Tina Turner), a vicious lady with a thirst for blood…
With the town having electricity and good technology, all being powered by a methane refined by the very clever, but rather restricted Master, (played by Angelo Rossitto), who relies on Blaster, (played by Paul Larsson), a hulk of a man who lacks many grey cells, for protection and mobility…
As Max insults the honour of Entity, he is soon exiled for Bartertown, sent to wonder the deserts once again… soon stumbling upon another small group of survivors, only this time children, who believe Max to be more than he actually is… Leading to a massive confrontation with the residents of Bartertown with some devastating consequences…
* IN CONCLUSION *
Another action packed movie from the Mad Max sequels… It is set in the same scenario as the first movie, survival of mankind in a desert after a nuclear strike… making earth into what can only be described as Hell… Gibson, already made his name from Mad Max, is again brilliant, although his speaking parts are more or less non existence, his acting skills really are showing the world what this man is capable of in the movie circles.
And what can we say about the part played by Tina Turner…? Well… she has always been a little peculiar, of sorts, with her brilliant singing voice and whacky attitude… so the part of Auntie Entity, the control freak with a lust for fights really does her proud… she acts her part as well as you would expect, with a roughness and weirdness that fits her character perfectly.
It is another far fetched storyline which is still so entertaining it will have you glued to the chair, watching as the different stories unfold… from the very strange fighting in the Thunderdome, watched over by the even stranger Tina Turner, to the snatch of freedom from the younger survivors of the apocalypse who are forever searching for tomorrow- morrow, a mythical place where they think their parents are…
The entire film is a mish mash of science fiction, thrills, action and pure adrenalin rush… giving the viewer nearly an hour and fifty minutes of mind bending, and sometimes depressing action…
In all, it is another brilliant Aussie made action packed movie which will have you enthralled throughout…
If you want to get a copy then go to www.amazon.co.uk and get one for less than £7.00... Bargain…

I still think this is perhaps the best Mad Max but I know many disagree with me. I miss the car though, which seemed to be almost the main character in the previous films (shame for what happened in the end of the second). Anyway this film has a great and (I think) powerful message concerning clean energies and nature, the quotation from Byron in the end is (for me) almost tearful . Nice review
