Mad Max
…but I think I have found here the worst movie I have ever seen, or something. The actors were shitty (oh my God, one could barely recognize Mel Gibson but his acting skills seem to have been just as bad to begin with), the story was most pointless and idiotic, and boring. I absolutely don’t know where the good rankings for the film are coming from. Wikipedia quotes some people consider it the best movie of 1979 – seriously? With “Life of Brian”, “Manhattan” and “Stalker” being released in the same year? (“Amator” came out too, by the way, but I admit that one is just too obscure.)
On a side note, I found “Mad Max 2” in the infamous 1000 Greatest Films list, but “Mad Max” was not in there. How the heck is something like this even possible? Ahaha.
All in all, sometimes it is fun to see something really trashy and campy. But no matter how much enjoyment they could be, the are typically bad movies and “Mad Max” is no exception. Perhaps I would enjoy the cultural references to it now, but actually it blows my mind why these would exist in the first place. At least Ed Wood is really, really, really bad.
