Synopsis

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.

    Lord Humungus is one of the best villain character names ever.

    The truly unique thing about the Mad Max franchise is how Max is less a character than a mythic figure, and how each film is less an entry in a continuing story and more a retelling of the myth of Max, with the details getting more extravagant and incredible as time goes on. It’s one of my favorite narrative conceits, and it works incredibly in this film, which is explicitly framed as the recollections of an old man, telling the story of the hero who saved him.

    So, uh, yeah. I probably should have watched this sooner. (In my defense, I had seen MAD MAX and didn’t particularly like it.) This movie is exactly one year and one day younger than I am, but it’s aged so much better than me. Next up, MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME. I’ll be similarly wowed by that one, right? Right? Where are you guys going? Don’t you want to watch it with me?

    I remember a time of chaos… ruined dreams… this wastedland. But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior. Incredible the way this movie amplifies the mythology of Mad Max— Miller is cooking with rocket fuel.

    a series of notes i wrote down while watching mad max 2 – could you imagine if George Miller made a Star Wars movie. this movie feels so distinctly inspired by Star Wars. i need lucasfilm to get BROKE and start making some big swings – not not gonna be Humungus for halloween – the secret to a good child performance is not letting them talk – the timeline of these movies is hilariously confounding. the amount the world has changed by Furiosa is insane. don’t even think about it. – for all the criticism of how Fury Road isn’t even a Mad Max movie because of Furiosa (dumb, tinged with misogyny) The Road Warrior is very much a movie…

    A pretty crazy step up from the first one, this could almost be 4 1/2, the action, set design, costume design, and cinematography are all absolutely incredible and I know Spectre out did it, but this is still the best shot explosion in film history, BY FAR, that was actually insane.

    That opening introduction reminded me alot of the fallout 1 and 2 openings and it made my thingy stand up. I love that post apocalyptic world atmosphere and especially when its set in an area where people kill eachother for survival and lose their minds trying to find resources to defend themselves from eachother. It was so much better than the first one

    For me, this is the first real Mad Max film. It’s the one the created the style & look of all the following films. I love the dirty & gritty look of the film, makes it feel more realistic, Gibson really comes into his own as Max in this one, & Max’s evolution across the film is great. The fact that a lot of the film is told without dialogue is really impressive & the action is amazing, particularly the practical effects. Also, justice for Max’s dog. :'(

    My favorite Mad Max movie. Mainly because I love the camp and improvement from the first movie ever so slightly over the third movie. Also my Uncle Rob got me the Humungus action figure which is definitely one of the better material gifts I’d gotten, after I told him over Wordle that the character would be the ultimate action figure… Perfect 10 for Aussies and fellow Max’s worldwide alike.

    this was all right. i actually preferred the moments in the film where characters are talking to another, as i thought it was an interesting look into this world and its dynamics. sadly, the action didn’t do much for me, even if it was well done, though i admit i was tired.

    Estás películas así q son clásicos con fallos y momentos que no quieren ser pero terminan siendo graciosos y vergonzosos me hacen disfrutarlas como un niño. No hace falta analizar todas las películas como crítico de cine. Aún así después de la de 2015 es la mejor de lejos. Todo más distópico, más coches y más personajes inolvidables y raros. Rebosa mas carisma que la primera y la tercera de la trilogía. Aurilla

    Mel Gibson has a total of 16 lines throughout the whole film. Mad Max 2 is very different than Mad Max, it almost feels like a reboot rather than a sequel. Film starts with a huge time lapse between the 2 films with a whole new purpose and environment which is more relevant to the franchise we know. Compared to the first film, everything is just better: effects, atmosphere settings, scenario, even the colors. We finally get to see the real…

    This is the true Fallout film, the inspiration is clear as day. Mad Max 2 is an amazingly unique looking film. Its camera work is great and isn’t afraid to zoom out to show its baron wasteland, populated only by its scrappy vehicles and diverse characters. Everything is practical, resulting in satisfying action as real bits of car fly everywhere. I really like how there’s not much dialogue —making it feel powerful when it is used — and instead letting ambient sound tell the story.

    Wonderfully bananas sequel that is a rollicking good time. George Miller is as punk rock as it gets with his direction and the set pieces are great. Laid the groundwork for Fury Road which remakes the final 25 minutes of this flick for its full run time.

    leomartinini 8 月 20, 2026

    Questo si che è un capolavoro. Se con il primo George Miller getta le basi della saga forse anche inconsapevole della direzione che prenderà, con Mad Max 2 si prende tutte le libertà artistiche dando vita a un’opera completa e avanguardista. Con questo film vediamo per la prima volta il grande immaginario di Miller all’ennesima potenza, con delle scenografie meravigliose e dei costumi pazzeschi che insieme getteranno le basi anche per l’estetica post apocalittica che verrà dopo. Il successo che consacrerà…

    63/100 Now this is what I imagined the classic Mad Max movies would be, dystopian wasteland combat with cars held together by tape and a dream, and a bald gimp as the villain. Much better than the first one.

    Only the greatest action movie ever made. Max, the feral boy, Humongous, Wez, The Gyro Captain…. Just a perfect storm of unforgettable story, action, and characters. So iconic from start to finish that to this day no other action movie has even come close to dethroning The Road Warrior.

    Mucho mejor que la 1. Aunque el plot es un poco más plano, esto es lo que en la cultura pop se conoce de Mad Max. La ambientación y estética punk postapocalíptico es impresionante. Mel Gibson no necesita saber actuar, solo mostrar su buen porte a cuadro y listo.

    It’s fascinating how perfectly the original Mad Max trilogy resembles a bell curve. you can see from the first shot of this that George Miller had a lot more money to work wtih, and boy did he use it well. It’s wild what two years and an extra 4.1 million dollars can do for a franchise.

    Sticking again to a taut ninety minutes, and thus successfully retaining the audience’s attention throughout, the setting for the second Mad Max remains the weirdly detached, surrealist and shocking remote landscape of a post-apocalyptic Australia; characterised by a cartoonish survivalist culture and the inherent dangers within. But whilst there are still some illogical narrative inconsistencies, this avant-garde sequel is a definitive improvement on the original – if only because everything about it just feels more fleshed-out. There is still plenty…

    Quand on donne enfin un peu plus de sous la sa devient nettement plus intéressant… J’aime voir ce Max moins bavard, tourmenté par ses démons, comme sans issue, sans seconde chance. Le personnage est bien mieux écrit et surtout avec deux duo assez attachant que ce soit avec l’enfant ou le pilote. En plus de ça on retrouve une nette amélioration dans le déroulement de l’intrigue, dans les idées de mises en scène, dans les personnages, qui laisse bon présage pour ce que va être Fury road.

    Japanese Title: マッドマックス2 / Mad Max 2 Now this more like it. George Miller is back, and he’s got a boatload of cash to make the movie he wanted to make. Meanwhile Mel Gibson has really embraced the role of the malevolent spirit inhabiting the shell of a former human being, willing to do anything to survive in the scorched out landscape of a dystopian world. This time we got a much better script and the stunt work is better…

    Miller probabilmente per un budget più alto qui accelera sia nell azione che nel ritmo. Tralascia la profondità del personaggio per entrare nel bel mezzo del film con scenografie sempre mozzafistto e Max che fa sempre la sua figura. Un ottimo secondo capitolo

    This movie is to the post-apocalyptic genre what Romero’s Night of the Living Dead was to the zombie genre. It’s gritty and darkly funny. Mel Gibson is a flawed person but he’s electric in this movie. It’s the best anti-hero performance since Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns. People are always puzzled by the ubiquity of assless chaps in this movie. Yeah. It’s ill-advised to go bare-ass when you’re a roving tribe of bandits. You’re camping out in the rough where…

    Honestly, I thought it would improve in my estimation on rewatch, but if anything this rating feels generous. While mythologically and visually it creates the template that Fury Road would later perfect, the structural simplicity of Mad Max feels closer spiritually. Also, I hate the feral kid.

    This film had some really cool practical effects, decent acting from Mel Gibson, and really he’s the best part, and some amazing cinematography, you really feel the wasteland around you. However some elements are absurd, a lot of the acting of the side characters is bad, but all the chase scenes look amazing and are fun to watch, the film is quick and never outstays its welcome. Ultimately a cool action sci fi film with good costume design, elevated by watching Max grow and change from the last film.

    nuvio 8 月 18, 2026

    honestly is way better than the original film as the action packed practical stuntwork is pretty fucking spectacular, a major highlight, like BOOM! CRASH! EXPLOSIONS! stuff like that and adding a dystopian punk aesthetic to it stands out in the wasteland and its characters. solid mythical storytelling, amazing performances from Mel Gibson and incredible direction by George Miller. that’s all, this is just really enjoyable and gritty.

    Takes everything that’s good about the first one and ups it in size, scale and mythology. I liked seeing the war between different tribes and the backstory of how this post apocalyptic Australia came to be. We get to see mad max as a dark, lonely and twisted character for the full movie in this and at it presents him almost as a legend that folks tell story’s about which is cool. Classic western storytelling of a war between tribes…

    If you like the first one equal to or better, call this, Mad Max 2. But… If you think this one is a great standalone thrill ride, call it The Road Warrior. It gives enough context to the character for us to care, but having a whole movie before this one to really learn about him and give us a deep concern is great. Excited to see the third.

    Doesn’t compare to Fury Road for me. Maybe it blew people away when it came out but it’s quite average for the most part and nowhere near as weird, pacey or tight as Fury Road or even Furiosa. Even at about 90 mins I felt you could cut some of the film.

    I feel like I’ve seen this movie like 50x but nonetheless this movie was sick. Any scene where someone got killed made me second guess if they actually killed the person in real life. Some of the scenes were gnarly. The Lord and his henchmen were fucking nasty villains. When the kid killed the trans lover with the razor boomerang…chefs kiss of a scene. Made the movie so sinister as the henchmen was now bloodthirsty for revenge.

    Smashing, crashing, shooting & burning its way through the desolate Australian outback, Max 2 is a carnage of camp & a riot of raucous, punk infused dynamism! Max 2 is what we remember when we recall the modified, gas powered, weapons bristling warmobiles. Unusually for a sequel, 2 is the iconic entry in the series & achieves this because of its sheer exuberance, world building, desolation & ofc its pyrotechnics, set & vehicle design & its off the charts stunt work. Narratively 2 is concerned more…

    We really should have just got George Miller to shoot every car chase scene from this point onwards. Fury Road and Furiosa offer a greater scale for these big rig chase scenes – and I think those films both benefit from stronger characterisation – but what Miller is able to accomplish here with more limited resources is so impressive. I do love the ridiculous aesthetic of Miller’s world and how restlessly inventive everything is from costume design to makeshift weaponry.…

    Nah man i think this OG mad max movies at least are not for me, idk about newer ones but this 2 movies were soo boring and ugly. 3 ⭐ only for MC, otherwise nothing about. Side characters in this one are forgettable first one at least had MCs wife. This one is better overall only because of action scenes. And this bad guys bro, they’ve gone tru degradation, first one at least had biker guys this one are just…

    George Miller understood that the apocalypse didn’t need an explanation. It just needed a road, gasoline, and a bunch of lunatics willing to kill each other over it.

    action movies are mostly gay in a closeted insecure andrew tate follower kinda way but at least this film doesn’t shy away from it. guys wearing black leather with their asses out on a chain fighting to avenge their twink lover killed by a boomerang. i did like this movie much more than the first, it’s more over the top, crazy and action packed but it does still have some choppy editing, scenes (death scenes in particular) that could’ve been fleshed out more, and like all early 80s adventure/action films there has to be the goofy loveable sidekick/s.

    “My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos… ruined dreams… this wasted land. But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior.” Rarely has cinema been so good. Thank you George Miller.

    9/10 The Road Warrior is a really great movie. Until Fury Road came around, it was the definitive Mad Max movie. Even so, it still holds up incredibly well in all aspects and is still a blast today. Not to mention it is also an incredibly important foundational piece in post-apocalyptic cinema. Awesome film, definitely recommend.

    Definitely better than the first. The story is better and the pacing is quick. The characters, especially Mad Max himself are more interesting and enjoyable. And that final truck chase scene is brilliant.

    Mucho mejor que la primera, que era muy simplona. Esta no es una voladura de cabeza tampoco, pero me ha parecido una road movie chula con toques de humor negro divertidos. Esto sí, tanto Fury Road como Furiosa son mucho más imaginativas y mejores que estas películas protagonizadas por nuestro segundo carca norteamericano favorito (el primero es Clint Eastwood).

    Still one of the all-timers. The lawless vision of the future, the oddball characters, and some of the greatest car action ever done. Every detail just hums with confidence in this, and the dialogue is way more sparse than I remember. Even the narration is more building up the mythological aspect rather than getting caught up in exposition.

    “And the Road Warrior ? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my memories.” Okay. Just Waw. I much prefer this one to the first one. And honestly I’m just speechless. This was so PEAK. (off topic but this movie reminded me of the song Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden for some reason)

    Moğolları çekmeyelim diye şekilden şekle giren Hollywood Mad Max’te benzer tat bırakıyor. Anlayamadığım nokta neden sürekli hareket hâlinde olmak zorundalar ki? Göçebe hayat ama at yerine modifiye arabalarla. Yani bir yere yerleş, komün hayatı yaşa yeniden bir Göbeklitepe neden olmasın canım. Ders almadın mı tarihten, ortak atalarımız yörükler mi ya da babam böyle pasta yapmayı nereden öğrendi, illa otoyollarda. Duş yok, adam akıllı yemek yok ama benzin arayışı için bir yerden bir yere punk mıhlama şahane. Belki de Cengiz han’ın…

    Cons: plot doesn’t make much sense and time wise nothing lines up. Pros: none of that matters because the stunts are top tier.

    dunno why this still hasn’t clicked with me. i prefer the rawness of the original, maybe. this feels equally slapped together as a way to justify sick driving sequences, but the action feels impersonal and arbitrary. great dog though

    The first movie discovered car crashes, this one discovered explosions. It is actually fascinating to see how much the tropes and techniques changed in just three years since the original, it FEELS like an 80s movie in the same way the first one felt like a 70s movie. This one felt much more cohesive with the narrative structure and must have taken the notes from the first one and actually explained what the fuck was going on so that was…

    Uma das minhas primeiras memórias é com certeza meu pai me colocando pra assistir esse Mad Max, depois de sem querer colocar o primeiro (e lembrar que ele acha horrível), e eu ficando aterrorizado, mas ao mesmo tempo encantado, com aquele bumerangue. Obs: George Miller definitivamente odeia cães e casais. Eu realmente gostaria de entender mais do porque todo malvadão desses filmes tem que ser obrigatoriamente adepto ao bdsm

    A real blast of a sequel, less violent but a lot more spectacular. Dashiell Hammett’s Red Harvest is done again, as Kurosawa did in Yojimbo, Leone in Per un pugno di dollari, and the Coens in Miller’s Crossing. That means, once again a stranger has interfered with two rebellious factions fighting for the power. The mysterious road warrior arrives in the dusty australian landscape to turn the battle into an exhilarating apocalyptic stampede, meeting new allies and enemies, each one freakier than the next.

Synopsis
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.
