Mad Max 2
Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.

So much better than the original. Actually comes together into a good film, with a cohesive story.
It’s a bit weird how it keeps strictly to some events of the first film, but also retcons in a history that doesn’t really seem to mesh with it. Also does Mel Gibson have a rider that his nipple had to get so much screen time, or something?
Anyway… much improved plot, the score felt like it supported the film instead of clashing with it, much better characters all around, much better set pieces (and they actually saved some for the end, too!).
