After watching the first three Fast and Furious movies I felt I needed to cleanse my palate with a “car movie” that really knew what it was doing.
Shockingly, I have not seen The Road Warrior in probably close to 20 years. Does it still hold up?
Unlike other movies from my youth that I thought were fantastic only to discover they are actually shite, The Road Warrior mostly holds up. But there are more seams than I remember. And some dull patches. In my memory, it was nonstop action. That is not quite the case. But the final chase is remarkable and I applaud the minimal dialogue. Today’s movies can learn a thing or too about shutting up and letting the pictures speak.
