That reveals ...

Mad Max III Beyond Thunderdome by, LES TURNER Fan reaction to the third Mad Max film is a little varied. Some like it, some don't. I have mixed feelings about the film, sometimes I think it is a better film, and then sometimes I refuse to even admit that there was a third Mad Max film even made. Either way, the film was a success, and tells another story, and shows another side, of Max.
