Yup, lots of it is silly.

My Zap forward rating:

MM2: none
MM1: some (soppy scenes on holiday, sofa when telly is running etc)
MM3: most

Don`t get me wrong though, MM1 is the real Max.

Watched Much of it over breakfast last Tuesday.

Would have watched all, but I only had an hour & I wanted to look for the Jacket in the closing scene.

Honestly, I fast-wind or scene jump more in MM1.

Well.. er.. um... lets see.... I think the only time i watched it from start to finish was the FIRST time i saw it. Which was at the cinemas when it first came out.

Can't say i ever watched the full movie since..... fast forward through the annoying kids...
As a stand alone movie its ok... but as a "part 3" to madmax ... its truely ... awful.
We are 100% snafu....

Cheers for the input guys....was mostly a bit of fun but at the same time it was to see if anybody,like me,feels a certain sense of obligation to watch MM3 out of loyalty or something,even though it doesnt come close the 1st two films.

As for me, I like very much "Mad Max beyond Thunderdome". It is a great adventure movie. Otherwise, it would be interesting to know what Peter Barton thinks about it.

For me it is several years ago that I watched one of the three movies completely. I just watch the good parts like the most of us.
MM3 is a good stand alone movie. But as a Mad Max movie it is a complete failure. It totaly misses the "Mad". They took the rough max caracter and turned it in a nice sympathetic caracter. That was the biggest mistake.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.
