The originals were not the greatest if you watch them now, but back in the day they were awesome. Hoping for a good remake or whatever , but not holding my breath.
I'm so stoked. I loved Mad max, and The Road Warrior even more. George Miller is at the helm, so I don't think he will disappoint. I think Tom hardy is a good choice for the role too. Either way, it can't be worse than Beyond Thunderdome. Best of all: didn't spot any ass-less chaps in the trailer.
Haha...the feral kid. I have all them on DVD. Like you said, they are not necessarily the greatest movies, and there's a whole lot of leather/assless chaps/weird shit going on, but I love the cars/monstrosities on wheels and the driving scenes.
