![]() The first two Mad Max films were scored by Aussie composer Brian May, who was only 51 years old in 1985 and still very active, and it remains unclear what led to Miller making the switch on this film – the prevailing thinking is that the studio wanted a bigger name. The score for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was composed, somewhat surprisingly, by French Oscar-winner Maurice Jarre. The film was an enormous success – the highest grossing film of the original trilogy – and further cemented Mel Gibson’s box office bankability as a leading man his next film would be the smash hit buddy-cop action movie Lethal Weapon, two years later. In exchange for returning to him his vehicle – which she has scavenged – she forces him in to conflict with Master Blaster, a dwarf and his hulking masked bodyguard, who control Bartertown’s fuel supply to resolve the conflict, Max finds himself taking part in gladiatorial games inside the ‘thunderdome’, an enormous metal arena where people duel to the death. Fifteen years after the events of Mad Max II, Max finds himself in Bartertown, a vicious society of scavengers and opportunists overseen by the ruthless Aunty Entity, played by Tina Turner. The third in director George Miller’s series of Mad Max movies, Beyond Thunderdome once again starred Mel Gibson and continued the adventures of the former Australian Highway Patrol officer Max Rockatansky, as he tries to survive in a post-apocalyptic society. ![]()
