This revered Australian trilogy put Mel Gibson on the way to superstardom, and it's worth seeing for the excellent, bone-crunching second slice of Max from 1981. It's a futuristic actioner in which coppers and gangs fight over territory and petrol in a post-apocalyptic landscape. There's minimal dialogue here but this is all about the car chases and David Eggby's excellent cinematography. The first two films (forget the Tina Turner-starring third) are like spaghetti Westerns without the big ideas.
