Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) (1981) *****

Simply one of the most influential action films and one of the best sequels (that also just edges out its predecessor, my review of which is here)—with one of the most thrilling finales—ever made. George Miller's Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) (1981) features some of the most insane stunts, frenetic camerawork, badass chases, wildest vehicles, iconic costumes and baddies, and general mayhem of any film. A pivotal part of (and frequent rewatch during) my teenhood, one of my Top 100 Films, and a movie I’ll love ‘til I die.
