Summary: 5 Stars
In this post apocalyptic wasteland, one man is searching for something. Fuel. Yes, after the world blows itself up and civilization collapses, one man has the courage to put the pedal to the metal and stop anything that gets in his way. Im going to be honest, I wish my life was as tight as this movie.DVD Review: never got the item!!!

I purchased THE ROAD WARRIOR from Amazon over a month ago, at the end of February, and have STILL NOT RECEIVED IT!!!! What the hell is going on with it? Numerous e-mails I've sent have gone unanswered... this is beyond ridiculous... don't even know what to do about this anymore...DVD Review: One of the CLASSICS of the Action genre!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Road Warrior" is one of the CLASSICS of the Action genre. I used to LOVE it when the GREAT Joe Bob Briggs used to show this on "Monstervision" on TNT on Saturday nights!
That is where I learned all these facts about this movie! Joe Bob said that during the climactic chase that makes up the last half hour of the movie that director George Miller mounted cameras on moving vehicles for better camera shots! And NUMEROUS stunt men were nearly killed!
The plot of the movie could NOT be more timely. The fight for gasoline! Imagine that. A world where gasoline creates a problem! Only in the movies, huh?
I have one question: WHERE is the Two-Disc "Special Edition"?!
"He exists now, only in my memory"
DVD Review: A movie without wires...
Summary: 5 Stars
CG, models, and no emotard actors. No pretty boys -correct that- on the good guy side. And Explosions!!! Gibson, that Jew hating drunk was at his start and it shows in spades, but playing a gruff tired man worked fine for him here.
The director used a lame excuse for the settings, but the action and VIOLENCE more then compensates!
Blu-ray sadly shows the poor print unfortunately.
Description of The Road Warrior
Mad max battles to survive in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by barbaric gangs. Includes scene access trailer and more. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 01/18/2005 Starring: Mel Gibson Vernon Wells Run time: 96 minutes Rating: R Director: George MillerA strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth. Like the Star Wars trilogy (by that other George) the Mad Max films draw their inspiration from the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the 1979 original, Max (Mel Gibson) is a policeman, the last guardian of civilization and order in a devastated world reduced to chaos. But when a leather-clad gang of sadomasochistic speed demons mows down Max's family, his remaining connections to humanity are also permanently severed. After brutally exacting his revenge, Max wanders off into the wasteland alone, "a burned out shell of a man" who (to paraphrase The Searchers) is destined to wander forever between the winds. In The Road Warrior, Max rediscovers a sliver of his shattered humanity, and a spark of redemption, when he helps an embattled colony of pioneers fight off the savages who are after that most precious of all commodities: "guzzline." Max is transformed into a legendary hero, just as Mel Gibson was catapulted to international movie stardom. With its final stirring images, The Road Warrior transcends its genre (whatever that may be--science fiction? Western? action adventure?) and becomes something timeless. It's a great movie. --Jim Emerson
