    Description

    In the post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, gasoline-rich community escape a horde of bandits.

    Сast and Crew

    Production

    Following the release of Mad Max, director George Miller received a number of offers from Hollywood, including one to direct First Blood, but he instead decided to develop a rock and roll movie, the working title of which was Roxanne. After working together on the novelization of Mad Max, Miller and Terry Hayes teamed up in Los Angeles to write Roxanne, but the script was ultimately shelved. Miller then became intrigued with the idea of returning to the world of Mad Max, as a larger budget would allow him to be more ambitious. He said: "Making Mad Max was a very unhappy experience for me. I had absolutely no control over the final product," but "There was strong pressure to make a sequel, and I felt we could do a better job with a second movie." Inspired by Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces and the work of Carl Jung, as well as the films of Akira Kurosawa, Miller recruited Hayes to join the production as a scriptwriter. Brian Hannant also came on board as co-writer, first assistant director, and second unit director.

    This is a real post-apocalypse with bandits killing for gasoline, ultra-violence and an ultimate protagonist. One of the minuses of BDSM is the outfits of the villains, how they were even preserved there. Translated to English

    Mel Gibson. The future is before us, humanity is going through hard times – the energy crisis has paralyzed cities, communications and everything that was considered civilization for so long. Translated to English

    What modern post-paced action films lack is the uncompromising brutality, cynical toughness and earthiness of this picture. The hero saves himself and a small settlement in the wasteland; the raiders routinely kill and rape. You believe in such a world of the future, because it reflects reality. Translated to English

    The film is outdated, but the chase scene still looks vibrant. Unlike the last viewing, this time I liked the first part more. It’s more atmospheric, although there are no sadomaso costumes made from hachimuchi. By the way, in this part there is a gay theme again. Is there something we don’t know about Miller?
