Lincoln6Echo Jul 26, 2015 As a child of the '80s, and a general fan of sci-fi and the post apocalyptic genres, I first got into Mad Max with Beyond Thunderdome with all the marketing it got with Tina Turner and her "We Don't Need Another Hero" video, (one of my most favorite songs of all time, btw) That film was OK, but not great. They totally missed the mark with Bartertown. The whole "Lord of the Flies" thing was a waste of time.



But when I finally saw Road Warrior, I was like "Hell Yeah!" This is what this franchise was all about. Hit all the right marks with that film. Hopefully Fury Road is a lot like that. (I haven't seen it yet.) But what was great about Road Warrior was that it had quite a bit to do with how the people made due by building settlements. The Atoll in Waterworld was also a highlight of that film, while all the sailboat stuff was boring.
