Re: I'm confused on a few points

Whats the point in having forums if people cant be bothered to use the search function. Every single whine you make here about fantasy vs reality has been debated ad nauseum.

Re: What makes The Road Warrior superior to Mad Max?

I'm confused on a few points

Explain this to me: In the movie "The Road Warrior" the wasteland gang was desperate to get at the oil well and the fuel, correct? And, in an early scene, Max puts pots under a leaking wreak to catch pathetic drops of gas coming from a broken fuel tank, even absurdly sopping some up with a...
