In this sequel to "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior", Max (Mel Gibson) is exiled into the desert by the corrupt ruler of Bartertown, Aunty Entity (Tina Turner), and there encounters an isolated cargo cult centered on a crashed Boeing 747 and its deceased captain. The film is the third installment in the "Mad Max" film series and the last with
Mad Max (soundtrack) energized score in the violence/action department, and for that they wanted a totally non-melodic score," explained May. "It was very jagged and shearing, and George particularly wanted me to antagonize the audience by making them feel uncomfortable. Sometimes we had jagged notes going against dialog so that the audience would feel frustrated." Such effects were developed through the application of stingers by way of brass and percussion instruments. May went on to win the Australian Film Award for Best Original Score for his work on "Mad Max". The musical score for "Mad Max" has received generally positive reviews. Quentin Billard
