Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

Directed by George Miller

The third of George Miller's Mad Max movies, it's definitely not as bad as the fanboys regard it today. Modern fans may be surprised that the contemporary reviews were all very positive for this movie which makes sense given that it basically provides much of the style and thrills similar to The Road Warrior. It suffers mostly from a limp second act that seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the movie. But it's made up for fairly well in the third act with a return to a Road Warrior style chase sequence.  It's most successful in the unique post-apocalyptic world it creates further fleshing out ideas from the previous movies.
