Johnny Recommends THE ROAD WARRIOR To Watch This Summer

MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981)



Summerization: Mad Max is back and damn near nothing is in common with the first one. The world is a wasteland, or looks like Australia, and has spiraled farther into hell. Petroleum aka gazaleen, is the most sought after commodity/resource on the planet and violent, bondage clad thugs battle normies to the death over it. Might as well take place next week.

Why It's Awesome: Mad Max kicks ass. His dog kicks ass. There's this crazy old guy in a flying machine, the Gyro Captain, who kicks ass. A Wild Child with really big hair and a razorblade boomarang? Kick ass. The villian goes by Lord Humungus, a well spoken mongoloid complete with a chrome Jason-esque hockey mask and killer cod piece. There's blood, boobs and explosions. There's a wristmounted crossbow. Some car, motorcycle, truck, buggy and fly machine battles. Impalements, flamethrowers, mowhawks. This movie has a little bit of everything and a whole lot of dirty, leather clad Aussies in the hot desert sun.

Quote: "I'm just here for the gazaleen."

Best Time To Watch: Midday or midnight. Preferably with a six pack.

Quality: 5 outa 5 tanks of gazoleen.
