Beyond Thunderdome is a fucking classic. Hands down my favorite of the whole series. As far as Fury Road goes, I'll see it when it comes out but I don't know how I feel about the franchise continuing without Mel Gibson. If it sucks though, whatever. It won't make the first three any less awesome.
I must be losing it. Someone pretending to be me actually thought to post that before I did. Whoever is behind that troll has my modus operandi down to a T.
I don't think the original Mad Max is even that good. It's a good introduction tot he character but I'll take The Road Warrior and Thunderdome over it.
