"The Road Warrior"

Paper Summary:

The paper shows that in "The Road Warrior", George Miller ushers in one of the best action films shown on screen. The paper argues that Miller's post-apocalyptic movie provides viewers with unequaled full-throttle highway chases that thrilled fans across the globe. The paper shows that the plot of "The Road Warrior" is as minimal as the special effects, so the movie relies heavily upon action sequences and characterization.

From the Paper:

"One of the movie's strengths is the action sequences. Miller provided viewers with some landmark chase sequences that have yet to be equaled, even though technology has been greatly improved. At the movie's climax, a convoy with twenty-five vehicles' barrels across the desert at break neck speed and edited to maximize the intensity. "Miller's film is light on frills - its been trimmed to the bare, raw bone, and the skeleton remaining is just enough to support some of the very best chase sequences ever filmed"(Banka). No matter what the critics said about the other elements of the movie, the chase scene, with its pounding sound, leaping fights, various car crashes, great photography-prolonged for 20 minutes---is undeniably fine film making."
