10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching The Original Mad Max Trilogy

George Miller’s original Mad Max trilogy features some of the greatest action sequences in movie history, but there are some harsh realities that arise from rewatching these films in the modern day. The series began with Mad Max in 1979, a police thriller set in a dystopian near-future, before diving into a gonzo, surreal post-apocalyptic wasteland in 1981’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome concluded the trilogy in 1985 with an unexpectedly campy tale of bloodsport.
