The problem the film continues to run into is that it never really wants to reach for those risks or show the dangers....

Tina Turner Was the Best Part of 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome'

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdomeis hardly anyone’s favorite entry in theMad Maxfranchise. Being the series' first and only outing to receive a PG-13 rating, it lacks much of the edge that definesMad Max, trading it in for more fantastical themes, kid-friendly camp, and mythological iconography.
