Mad Max 2: a sequel that's better than the original.
Much better and more fully realized vision than Mad Max 1.

I saw the badly dubbed version (into US english for dozy Yanks)of the 1st film, so that was an initially off-putting but other than the brilliant opening and closing scenes it was just a cheesy retread of Dirty Harry. It didn't make much sense either.

Why would defense lawyers have so much power in a post apocalyptic society, getting villains off on technicalities? Why would they even exist? Martial-law time scumbags! You eyed up my oil supply in a suspicious manner...DIE! Case closed.

Yet people insist that the 1st one was better. Despite the distinct lack of mutants in bondage gear.

Cool!
My friend's dad was in both of those - in the second one, he was a messed up guy strapped to a dune buggy.
