Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (also known as Mad Max 3) is a 1985 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller and George Ogilvie, distributed by Warner Bros., and written by Miller and Terry Hayes. 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 2 (soundtrack) life. The recording also includes a suite of special effects sounds, such as the Feral Kid's "Boomerang Attack"; "Gyro Flight"; "The Big Rig Starts"; "Breakout"; and the climactic effects for "The Refinery Explodes", when the booby-trapped oil refinery turns into a fireball. The musical score received generally positive reviews. Chaz Kangas of "City Pages" wrote, "Seemingly with a much bigger orchestra and undoubtedly more resources to play with, one can't help but marvel at "Mad Max 2"'s music. You could put it over stock footage of children's education films from the '50s and it would still make whatever you're watching
