Quality Rating: C

Directed By: George Miller
Starring: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells, Kjell Nilsson, Emil Minty

Mel Gibson's Max returns, wandering about the Australian desert after nuclear war has devastated the landscape. Fuel has become a priceless commodity, and in exchange for some gas, Max agrees to help a refining community defend their resources from the attacks of a sadistic biker gang.
This version of the film is the original R18 Australian version, with some additional footage and without the dubbed voices which are apparent on the US version of the film. Extra footage includes a longer shot of Wez pulling the arrow from his arm, more footage of the rape and murder of the female driver, extra dialogue in Papagalo's speech to his people. The differences are minor, but completists will no doubt need to see this hard to find version.

This documentary takes the viewer off the interstate highways and onto the back roads of the U.S., where a few strange and idiosyncratic motels still cling to existence. Before the advent of the interstates, and the resulting boom in big motel chains, such establishments were common. The film focuses on three such motels: The Silver Saddle in Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Blue Mist Hotel in Florence, Arizona, and the Amargosa Hotel and Opera in Death Valley Junction, California. The Blue Mist Hotel is located across the road from a state prison and serves mainly the friends and spouses of inmates. The Amargosa is owned and operated by an aging ballerina and her husband, the only residents of the ghost town in which it's located. Other notably odd lodgings shown include the Movie Manor, whose rooms look out on a drive-in theater across the parking lot.

Mel Gibson's Max returns, wandering about the Australian desert after nuclear war has devastated the landscape. Fuel has become a priceless commodity, and in exchange for some gas, Max agrees to help a refining community defend their resources from the attacks of a sadistic biker gang.
This version of the film is the original R18 Australian version, with some additional footage and without the dubbed voices which are apparent on the US version of the film. Extra footage includes a longer shot of Wez pulling the arrow from his arm, more footage of the rape and murder of the female driver, extra dialogue in Papagalo's speech to his people. The differences are minor, but completists will no doubt need to see this hard to find version.

This documentary takes the viewer off the interstate highways and onto the back roads of the U.S., where a few strange and idiosyncratic motels still cling to existence. Before the advent of the interstates, and the resulting boom in big motel chains, such establishments were common. The film focuses on three such motels: The Silver Saddle in Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Blue Mist Hotel in Florence, Arizona, and the Amargosa Hotel and Opera in Death Valley Junction, California. The Blue Mist Hotel is located across the road from a state prison and serves mainly the friends and spouses of inmates. The Amargosa is owned and operated by an aging ballerina and her husband, the only residents of the ghost town in which it's located. Other notably odd lodgings shown include the Movie Manor, whose rooms look out on a drive-in theater across the parking lot.
