The Road Warrior (1981)


IMDb plot summary: In the post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, gasoline rich, community escape a band of bandits.
Directed by George Miller. Starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, and Max Phipps.

This is WAY more fun than the first Mad Max film where nothing actually happened.

How it entered my Flickchart:
The Road Warrior > Four Weddings and a Funeral
The Road Warrior > Sweet Smell of Success
The Road Warrior < I've Loved You So Long
The Road Warrior < Kiss Me, Stupid!
The Road Warrior < Doctor Strange
The Road Warrior < Waking Ned Devine
The Road Warrior < Shall We Dance? (1996)
The Road Warrior > The Cloverfield Paradox
The Road Warrior > Fright Night (2011)
The Road Warrior > Southside with You
The Road Warrior > The Departed

Final spot: #659 out of 2720.

This is a strong ranking from you. Ahead of The Terminator, Die Hard and all the others, I consider this a near-perfect 1980s action movie. The first and third are not so great.
