Mad max 2 cover update#
UPDATE : Here are the instructions for the disc replacement program for this solo release of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and the Mad Max Anthology sets per WB's official statement on the matter: At startup, the disc goes straight to a silent, static menu screen with the new artwork and the usual options along the bottom. The dual-layered UHD66 disc sits comfortably opposite a Region Free, BD50 copy, and both are housed inside the standard black, eco-elite keepcase with a glossy slipcover and new artwork. When redeeming said code, users are granted access to the 4K UHD version in Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio. Warner Home Video brings George Miller's Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior to Ultra HD Blu-ray as a two-disc combo pack with a Digital Copy code.
Forty years later, Max continues to rule the post-apocalyptic road as the definitive "Road Warrior." A bit more polished and refined than its predecessor, Mad Max 2 is a wildly imaginative epic of thrills-a-minute action spectacular, long before CGI became commonplace. After a gravely severe beating, Max soon becomes the reluctant archetypal hero worth celebrating and admiring, discovering that doing something for the greater good doesn't imply abandoning one's true self. Taking a page directly from Italian westerns, Miller has his morally-ambiguous, ronin-type protagonist journey through his self-defined sense of ethics, justice and rugged individualism. The plot's western frontier theme is brought to a head when Gibson's seemingly cold-hearted and detached Max is soon tasked with sticking his neck out for the safety of the settlers. Another interesting comparison worth noting is the settlers' family-sized vehicles which are arguably more fuel-efficient as opposed to the gang's gas-guzzlers. The settlers' goal is to gather enough gasoline for their travel north, but the Humungus and his cruel, Mohawk-haired dog of war Wez (Vernon Wells) deny them safe passage. The battle between a small band of settlers led by an idealistic Pappagallo (Michael Preston) safeguarding one of the few remaining oil refineries and a large gang of vicious marauders led by the captivatingly memorable "The Humungus" (Swedish Olympic weightlifter Kjell Nilsson) best encompasses this struggle for maintaining some semblance of social order versus reverting to animal-like indifference and brutish savagery.
Since last we saw, society has degraded and spiraled into an anarchic existence of foragers due to civilization's dependency on the now extremely-rare fossil fuels. He's become a callous survivalist, resorting to kidnapping and shrewd dealings, as in the case of the kooky, somewhat off-kilter Gyro Captain (Bruce Spence), who eventually surprises as a resourceful ally in Max's yet-unrealized quest for redemption and purpose. The experience of losing his family and best friend has hardened our former MFP officer. Picking up some years after the events of the first movie, Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) wanders the desert landscapes of Australia in his modified Ford Falcon XB GT, battling other ruthless road bandits in search of gasoline. so as not to cause confusion during its original theatrical run.
Mad max 2 cover movie#
It's pretty bad, but the Thunderdome itself is such a iconic concept that it makes up for the not-great movie hosting it.After the success of the first movie, George Miller continued his dystopian vision of humanity's western-themed future in Mad Max 2, which was retitled The Road Warrior in the U.S. TL DR, the films are different enough that it's worth it to watch them all, and similar enough that they enrich one another once you've seen the whole bunch. Fury Road inverts that-the civilization of Immortan Joe is corrupt and evil, and outsiders like the Vuvalini are heroes. The civilized people in the refinery are the "good guys," while the outsiders led by Lord Humongous are the baddies. The Road Warrior is similar to Fury Road in terms of pacing and characterization, but it has a different thematic stance. Toecutter is the best villain out of all the films.
Less "post-apocalyptic" than just straight-up apocalyptic-society is collapsing right in front of Max's eyes, and there's nothing he can do about it. Mad Max is very much an exploitation film, but one that's executed perfectly.
