How much did Beyond Thunderdome make at the box office?

A friend and I were having a spirited conversation the other day about how much money Beyond Thunderdome made at the box office, before both realising we didn't know what we were talking about. There seems to be an absence of information. We know it made about $36 million in North America and about ...

Weird but true Mad Max stories that not many people know

Hi everyone, I'm particularly interested in those strange real-life bits and bobs related to Mad Max that not many people know. I assume some of the older forum members would have shared some of this stuff before, but I thought it'd be fun to list them in the one place. And also to name/link to a so...

Re: Social break down in MM1

I agree that the first film is not post-apocalyptic (rather, it's dystopian future).

Re: Mad Max 4 originally to be made in the late 80s?

Thank you Taipan. That's fascinating. I agree, Gibson can be unreliable (ie the famous story of his that he was cast as Max after being beaten up the night before, which everybody else says is BS). Hopefully the source for that isn't him. I had read vague things about the Mad Max TV show. Have never...

Mad Max 4 originally to be made in the late 80s?

I am currently reading a 2005 biography of Mel Gibson titled 'Mel Gibson: Man on a Mission'. These sentences, after the author discusses Beyond Thunderdome, lept out at m...
