Mad Max
I enjoyed the first two movies a lot, but why, oh why did they try so hard to copy Max Max this time around? I mean they copied the music and everything. Kevin Sorbo even put on a cheap Australian accent.
shareSorbo's character admits, right before Josh fights, that the accent is a fake he uses to impress people. He claims to have been the drama coach at some Junior College before the rapture. If you listen, it's almost impossible to tell where his accent is from-it ranges from really bad cockney to really, really bad Australian.
The too movies are different. Forgetting they are set on different continents, (Warrior in Australia and Black Rider, probably, in Canada), Gibson and White's characters couldn't be less alike, had more different motives, etc. White is claimed to drive a 1972 Plymouth Road Runner in this movie; although as bad as it is screwed up I am not sure you can tell what year it was in the body style. Mel Gibson drove a Ford Falcon with a 351 Cleveland (roughly equivalent to a Ford Mustang in the US) in 'Road Warrior.' The 383 ci Road Runner is a much faster and better car. I know, I have two completely restored Road Runners, a 340 ci '71 and 383 ci '72. I had a girlfriend with a 1970 Mustang with the 351 Cleveland; it was so fast and so difficult to control, it scared me when I had to drive it.
Both the Road Runner and the Falcon are ill suited for the apocalypse-my Road Runners prefer high octane fuel, preferably leaded. And get about 10MPG, when run flat out like he does in this movie.
