@@tanmanstudios It has got to be a case of the writer just personally not liking BttF3 in particular for some reason. Maybe the hate the setting or something.
This was my first Mad Max movie. The first half of the movie was great. Master Blaster, the fight in the Thunderdome, and road chase climax were awesome.
I liked the kids. It served as a counterpoint to the seedy wasteage in Barter Town, and represented the hope for future civilization. It also actually mirrors the notion of primitive civilizations that emerge from the implosion of a previous civilization that we've seen in other films and in anthropology.
"While the making of Beyond Thunderdome didn't experience as many tragic fatalities or many grave injuries as the first two films.." I'm sorry WHAT? Nobody ever died making those films!
Actually just watched this 2 days ago. It's really underrated. I love the Maurice Jarre score that evokes the epicness of his Lawrence of Arabia score.
Oh come on be fair, Back to the Future 3 definitely was a solid Trilogy ender even if it was a bit cheesy. Alien 3 especially the Assembly Cut has aged like fine wine, and kind of works in the age of dark & gritty genre movies.
I strongly disagree with the claim that Back to the Future Part III and Men in Black III did not live up to their predecessors. Back to the Future Part III is a direct continuation of the first two films and one of the best sequels ever made. And Men in Black III was far superior to Men in Black II.
I've loved this movie since I was 7. Always wondered why they couldn't just give Spence 1 line where he's like, "Oh, hey, paaatnah!" And Max smiles, just a little.
@originalmroldschool dude, it makes more sense than anything else! Right? " take it easy, Paahtnah." He's a selfish, wasteland murderer but he's also a good dude when he has to be.
Great stuff. I love you used some footage from the Adelaide preview of Thunderdome. It was a charity preview event and featured a huge thunderdome built in the foyer, a visit from the "Bigfoot" truck, ( now known as the Amadooka buggy) and a special guest stuntman riding said Buggy. My Friend Catherine and I attended in Costume and theres a shot of us struggling to get to our seats.
Loved the original trilogy and I was impressed with Fury Road. Furiosa was a great movie but we wanted Max not Furiosa. I hope somehow they can get Mel back one last time to hand off his iconic character
I can't give you the answer to your question but what I can tell you is that to prevent Miller from suing Warner Bros. they handed him the rights to the first two Mad Max films.
Two things... BTTF 3 is a great ending to the trilogy While I agree that out of the first three max films its the weakest one that doesnt mean it was bad. I think its a pretty good film myself.
Mad Max series is kind of like Die Hard movies. Every post apocalypse movies after Mad Max is compared to it like every action movies after Die Hard is compared to it.
3 Mad Max movies. The other two are Furiosa movies. Their fake Max is nothing more than a side character and is grossly abused by the filmmakers. Mad Max is a trilogy, period.
IMO Back to the Future 3 and Godfather 3 should not be in the same sentence as Jaws 3D or T3. Both BTTF 3 and GF 3 are both good closers to their trilogies…
Being an avid Mad Max fan, I thought it was a great movie. Max once again, touched into his small spark of humanity and did the right thing. The action, characters and story was great. Iron Bar wasn't Wez, but Master-Blaster was a hoot. Frank Thring even had his last hurrah. Great movie all around.
It was billed as Mad Max, but word got out that it was not a Mad Max movie, so few were interested. I certainly wasn't as soon as they declared they were recasting Max. Never mind that they made a mockery of his character.
@@originalmroldschool are youu up referring to Fury Road? Because that was a huge success and it was no secret that this new movie was going to be focused on Furiosa.
As a lifelong MM fan, I say part 3 is absolutely fantastic, an amazing continuation of the story. It has all the elements that make MM great. People who hate on it don't know what they're talking about.
This was the first & ONLY Mad Max film I've ever seen. I was born in 83', so I had no idea that this was a third installment lol. I loved❤ Tina's chain dress
Still my favorite movie of the franchise. The new movies have the right look as far as I'm concerned. They are just missing ... something. Doesn't seem to have the heart of the originals. I still watch furry road once in a while, but it never quite feels like Mad Max.
I wasn't a fan when it originally released, because I felt that the Road Warrior was a much better film. But subsequent viewings over the years made Thunderdome really grow on me. Now it is my favourite one of the trilogy.
I liked this movie alot. Put aside the criticism of it being more family friendly and goofy to it's PG13 rating, it serves as an arc for the world, IMO. The first movie had the world go downhill. The second had it at it's worst. The third shows it climbing back to some sense of sanity. The opening song as well, "One of the Living" is a banger too. Had the soundtrack when the movie came out and it was on rotation in the CD changer. DIdn't know they released the full score. I'll have to see if I can get it at an affordable price. And this is what the Mad Max films are today. It's the new western with the title hero being a catalyst for oppressed or down trodden people to have rise up and stand up to the oppressors.
Beyond Thunderdome was the first Mad Max movie I was able to see, being too young for the previous entries up to that time. It was, is, and always will be my favorite. The world building is by far the most complete and expansive. The soundtrack ranks as one of the best scores in cinematic history. Mad Max will always only be portrayed by Mel... anyone else is just doing cosplay. The bad guys are phenomenal, the wide array of protagonists are endearing and memorable. Sorry to have to reiterate, but Fury Road is NOT a Mad Max movie. The wooden dummy they substituted for Mel is only a minor side character. It was a major double middle finger to fans to tease a Mad Max movie and deliver a Furiosa movie instead. Not the same, not equal. There are only three Mad Max movies, period.
Thunderdome, Tina Turner and Mel Gibson is a highlight of my youth. And despite any problems that film has it's 10 apocalypses and 29 dystopian futures better than most crap made in the last couple years.
There's so very many strange creative decisions, especially given that this is a Mad Max film. Aside from the clumsy, jokey way it handles the titular concept of Thunderdome, the real thing that sinks this movie is the children. They bring with them a whole host of jarringly out-of-place whimsical moments that feel more appropriate for a Spielberg film than Mad Max. Max deserved more.
some mistakes here : 2"23 : It wasn't a Mad Max movie during just a half meal. The idea was Hayes' idea and straight away was the idea for MM3. 3"43 : No, you have proofs, in the press, that Ogilvie was hired BEFORE the death of Miller! Despite what Miller said years after. 5'30 : There's no proof they needed to take a US star because of the budget. Miller and Hayes said it was for other reasons... 13"43 : That nightmare scene was never shot, because it's an invention of Joan Vinge, as she told in an interview.
I think it's mainly looked down on for its descent into self-parody and, in my opinion, unnecessarily added humor. That said, I wouldn't call it a bad film. A little over the top and silly, maybe, but overall, a decent film.
Still my favorite Mad Max movie and with 'Fury Road' being a very close second. I really don't understand the hate this film got. It was describing a part of the timeline that fans were less interested in (i.e., the societies of the future).
BTTF 3, Return of the Jedi, and Beyond Thunderdome all seem like they'd make better video games than the other movies, which probably isn't a good sign. I'd say the same about Alien 3, but Aliens has been made into some great games.
I might have to give best third installment to Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Dorks will say Return of the Jedi. Thunderdome isn't a huge favorite of mine but it definitely ranks as a respectable third installment. It has lots of interesting things going for it but I just don't really care about any of the characters. I don't even hate the bad guys.
I'm kind of bummed Furiosa didn't perform better. It's not bad. You'd be crazy to think it would be better than Fury Road, but it's still a good movie. If I was going to rank them for quality and rewatchability, it would be: The Road Warrior, Fury Road, the original Mad Max, Furiosa, then Beyond Thunderdome.
BTW, WHY THE HECK is Back To The Future Part III listed with Alien 3 as a weak 3rd entry of a trilogy??? It should be listed with Die Hard With A Vengeance and Return of The King as an example of how to make a great trilogy
All i can say is damn.. what utter bullshit! Beyond thunderdome is the superior of any of the films....and saying bttf 3 wasnt good...again ...complete bullshit
As uneven as Thunderdome is, at least it looks better than Fury Road and Furiosa. The last two movies, while still entertaining, feel like glorified, hyper-real, over-engineered fan fiction. They're over-stylized cartoons. At least Thunderdome felt tangible, "real" in that sense.
The slander against Back to the Future 3 is insane. It’s one of the best trilogy endings ever
Yeah, I was like _"What the hell is Back to the Future 3 doing on the list of lacklustre endings of trilogies?"_
Anyone with common sense know Hollywood as of now is just a propaganda machine!
agreed!! we have to go back to correct this timeline

I have a particular soft spot for this film. Always a pleasure to see new content from you.

The stuff with the kids was so lame, feels like watching Peter Pan not the wasteland.

Exactly, i cant hear that bashing anymore about that classic alien movie!
I was born in 82 this was a childhood movie and memories
Same here. In fact over the years after seeing this one I seen the others in reverse order never knowing there was one before it.
I strongly disagree with the claim that Back to the Future Part III and Men in Black III did not live up to their predecessors. Back to the Future Part III is a direct continuation of the first two films and one of the best sequels ever made. And Men in Black III was far superior to Men in Black II.
As a kid, I LOVED MadMax2 and Thunderdome, but as time has gone by, I think MadMax3 has aged the best, I can rewatch it anytime
"Two men enter! One man leaves!!"
I've loved this movie since I was 7. Always wondered why they couldn't just give Spence 1 line where he's like, "Oh, hey, paaatnah!" And Max smiles, just a little.
Me too! I always figured he was the same guy, and the kid was from him and the blonde girl in Road Warrior.

Beyond Thunder Dome is my favorite of all 5 Mad Max’s.

Andamooka. It's an opal mining town a couple of hundred kays or so south-east of Coober Pedy, for anyone interested.
Wait a minute, are you saying that back to the future part 3 and men in Black 3 are both bad third installments because that really pisses me off😡
MIB3 I don't have a big issue with but BTTF 3 is a stone cold classic and a great, enjoyable, fun movie!
@@captainchuppachup yeah, but when you compare to men in Black 2 I can honestly agree with them
Men in Black 2 was horrible. Men in Black 3 was so much better, it was a super fun movie.
Loved the original trilogy and I was impressed with Fury Road. Furiosa was a great movie but we wanted Max not Furiosa. I hope somehow they can get Mel back one last time to hand off his iconic character
What are you talking about? This movie is as good as the first 2.
Born in 1980 and I loved this movie 🤷
I have serious issues with the back to the future 3 and mib 3 inclusion in the list of bad part 3s...
One last thing... Why did studio heads not want Miller to direct Contact?
I can't give you the answer to your question but what I can tell you is that to prevent Miller from suing Warner Bros. they handed him the rights to the first two Mad Max films.
Preproduction delays, budget problems and a difference in creative between Miller and WB.
Is Thunderdome the weakest movie in the series, yes. Is Thunderdome a bad movie, no.
"One of the living" is still a banger
My favorite of the two songs by far.
Two things...

BTTF 3 is bad ? That's news to me, I stopped watching at that moment.

MASTER BLASTER!

We Don't Need Another Hero is an awesome song, but don't forget Turner sang two songs for the soundtrack. One of the Living is also an amazing song.

Why is Terminator 3 a bad ending to a trilogy? The nukes are fired and the post-apocalyptic era begins. It was the perfect ending.
