Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The ferocious second installment brought Miller’s uncanny ability to mount action sequences to center stage with an immensely satisfying sequel.

Crafting “The Wasteland” and the aesthetic of the franchise, Miller took a huge step forward with the franchise. His action direction remains spectacular, and the editing techniques forever changed action cinema.

The story wastes little time getting to the point, all lean and efficiently paced with none of the excess fats. It’s an action-packed sequel that [George] Miller made good use of the bigger budget than he had in the first movie.

We may not feel crummy after the movie, but we feel hollow... The Road Warrior is for boys who want to go around slugging each other on the shoulder and for men who wish that John Wayne were alive and fifty again.
