Mad Max (1979)

Less post apocalyptic than I remember, more like near future shit show but they still had working television, lounges, hospitals and courts. Revisiting the sequel will be interesting as I remember that as being very post apocalyptic.

Mad Max (1979)

Just finished watching this trilogy. I like the grittyness that the films bring to the table. It doesn't take long for the films to get into the thick of things and the madness. Looking forward to upcoming reboot with Tom Hardy...think he can bring a lot to Max's character.
