Best reply ever. My hat off to you, dude.
Thunderdome will always be bottom of the list for me, but I no longer think you’re criminally insane :) You did remind me that Masterblaster was a thing. So thanks for that!
Did you watch mad max 1? No way that's better then thunderdome. It barely made any narrative sense.
Or is something in thunderdome specifically irritating you? The naked saxophone blind guy?
I guess there’s something crude and fierce about Mad Max 1 that I find really endearing. Maybe it’s not a good film, but it’s got an enormous amount of heart. You can tell Miller was gonna be big from the first :)
When only the first three existed, which was true for my whole childhood, Thunderdome felt like too big a departure from the grit and grime of the first two. It felt sort of overinflated and a camp.
