Still better than Fury Road imo

I detested it. However, an IMDb review of it that I came across a little while ago convinced me to give it a 2nd chance -- someday.

Has that day arrived yet?

Nope!

I don't know how maligned the movie was, it was very quotable. People to this day still quote lines from it, as do many tv shows and movies, as well as get inspiration from it. I believe it to be a classic now, or at least a guilty pleasure.

The entire plot is weak and full of ridiculous crap. It deserves the ire it gets. Definitely the worst Mad Max film.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - 5 outta 10 stars

It does have this great Tina Turner song, "One of the Living", though.

I effing loved that tune! So grim and unlike that other Tina song from the movie which I disliked... I think it's called "We Don't Need Another Hero?"

Back in the day I used to have "OotL" on a tape in my car and played it repeatedly! I still love it, every bit as much, to this day! Truly kick-a$$ song and performance thereof!

Yeah! LOL the saxophonist trips me out as I rewatch the video - very, very eighties with that shirtless Schwarzenegger build! Hahaha but his solo is a MF!

Is that the sax player in The Lost Boys ?

Yes, Tim Cappello is his name.

I was watching old Equalizer episodes recently and he turned up in one, I recognised him immediately!

I agree with you that One of the Living is the superior song but check this out anyway, TT in full Aunty Entity attire!
