The first movie messed me up, but like Max I just had to go on.
This week, I decided to fix my appalling status as an Australian who has never seen a Mad Max film. After being totally messed up by the first one, I of course wanted more.
I had been told The Road Warrior was actually much better than the first movie, so I was very excited (and slightly scared) going into it. Here's what I found...

The movie opens with a "Previously, on Mad Max", which was actually super helpful and gave way more information on the ~world situation~ than the whole first movie.
It shows Max visiting two graves, confirming that his wife did die along with poor li'l Sprog, AND it also gives background into how things got so messed up. (Basically fuel crisis + war = hell on earth).
