Turner's impressive career was focused on music rather than acting, but she had memorably played the Acid Queen in Ken Russell's musical film Tommy in 1975.
While Mad Max and Mad Max 2 did not feature any international stars in the cast, directors George Miller and George Ogilvie cast veteran American entertainer Tina Turner as Aunty Entity, the central antagonist in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. The filming location is Cronulla, a beachside suburb in Sydney's Sutherland Shire. The desert atmosphere of the region's sand dunes have made them an ideal location for a number of prominent Australian feature films, including Forty Thousand Horseman (1940) and The Rats of Tobruk (1944). The idea of a lost tribe also has Christian Biblical roots, once more casting Max as a Messianic figure, especially as the children first believe Max to be the return of their mythological Captain Walker. It was originally suggested to explain the Feral Kid in Mad Max 2 but not developed further. The crashed plane formed part of the storyline of the Lost Tribe of children. The crashed plane in the sand makes for a striking image, though it is a pity we don't also have a close-up of the cast on the plane. The photo amply illustrates the increased budget that production company Kennedy Miller was now working with, compared to the first two Mad Max films. This production still shows the cast and crew on the set of a crashed aeroplane for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Behind-the-scenes photograph taken by costume designer Norma Moriceau.

This curated collection covers both films and features clips, posters, behind-the-scenes images and interviews. It starred Tom Hardy as Max, but this time paired with the equally heroic – and mad – Imperator Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron.Ī critical triumph for George Miller, Fury Road became the most-nominated and most-awarded Australian film at the Academy Awards to that time, with ten nominations and six Oscars. Then, three decades later, Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) exploded onto screens after a dazzling premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. While Thunderdome was a respectable critical and box-office hit, it seemed to signal the end of the Mad Max series. It was dedicated to producer Byron Kennedy, who tragically died in a helicopter crash during pre-production. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) co-starred Mel Gibson and Tina Turner and was co-directed by George Miller and George Ogilvie (1931–2020). It’s in this way that a theory has been drawn out from the dusty crevasses of Mad Max’s universe, which we'll expand upon here.The third and fourth Mad Max movies – Beyond Thunderdome and Fury Road – were released 30 years apart. Capturing slaves, brainwashing soldiers, and turning women into breeding machines, it comes to light that Imperator Furiosa, leader of his army, has had enough: stealing his best War Rig and riding out into the wastes to liberate Joe’s five beautiful wives.Ĭaught up in the conflict and endeavouring to help Furiosa escape, ‘Mad’ Max Rockatansky serves as a begrudging aide to the women, if only to serve his own goal of getting the hell away from those that would prefer him dead.
Fury Road begins after the collapse of civilisation, depicting a small group of survivors in the wasteland ruled by a tyrannical leader, Immortan Joe.
