A reminder that for those of us who were young adults in the '80s the actual dystopian future we find ourselves in is disappointingly lacking in hubcaps and feathers as fashion accessories.
That instrument playing at the beginning is called a Didgeridoo. It's a wind instrument closely associated with Australia and was developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia over 1,000 years ago. It is played using vibrating lips and circular breathing to produce a continuous drone.
Tina was at the height of her solo career. Her presence was gladly welcomed by audiences. As for her character, I appreciated that she let Max go. She clearly respected him.

Most people hate the transition to the Lost...I love it. I love Max and I love how he takes control of them so quickly and easily. Not because he wants to be in control but because he wants to protect these kids, this society from what he knows is out there. He tries to reason with Savannah but in the end, he has to be Max in order to try and protect them...
@@chuckdacon4797 "take the tell" and they have a frame resembling a TV. This movie is so incredibly creative. The dystopia of Bartertown contrasted with the utopia of the Lost and both fully realized. I love all Mad Max movies, Thunderdome is my favorite.
I wouldn't call Aunty evil, but she's not good either. At least she's trying to rebuild civilization with the town she founded and there can only be one person in charge. Master, being the person of knowledge was trying to encroach on her leadership. People settling disputes in Thunderdome would be the logical thing to do to keep a very brittle society from falling back into chaos. If two people have a dispute and really want to push it, they can settle it in Thunderdome knowing only one of them is walking out. Any other warlord would have killed Max for destroying their town, but Aunty respected him and let him live.
About 15 years ago I used to work in a bank & when the Branch Manager would step out of his office to call one of the guys into his room, the rest of the guys used to chant "2 Men Enter, 1 Man Leaves"
This was the 1980s, so hitting metallic objects of all sorts for percussion was quite popular. Samplers got their start around this time, which made it more practical to produce music from sampled sounds, in the studio or live, which was one reason, I suppose. It was part of the "industrial" sound that many artists experimented with back then. Take, for instance, the electronic band Depeche Mode, who started with synthesizers and went back to synthesizers, but in the early-mid-1980s, they used a heck of a lot of metallic clanging sounds. The member who was the most responsible for their orchestration back then, Alan Wilder, was asked why they got away from that type of sound, and he said that there were only so many ways to hammer on metal objects. 😄 Around the time of this movie's release, lots of musicians were banging and clanging on metal for percussion.
Since you liked the "industrial" parts of the score for this, you should check out an 80's band called Art of Noise. They used what was all new technology at the time and used samplers and computers to make their music, and they would sample all kinds of sounds and arrange these samples into pop songs. They won a Grammy in 1986 for their rendition of "Peter Gunn", and even did a version of the Prince song "Kiss" with Tom Jones.
I was 14 when Beyond Thunderdome came out and this was my first real introduction to the world of Mad Max. While I love the other films, this one is my favorite. And I loved Tina Turner in this movie. She was amazing. The song from the end, We Don't Need Another Hero, is my favorite Tina Turner song. And I also love the score for this film. It was an awesome score.
@@lopa-u9f guess everyone has a different opinion but generally most people consider the 2nd one to be the best, sure the first is highest rated though
The proposed Tv series(set around Max rebuilding his car you see bits of the story line in Thunderdome) set after Road Warrior could be revived and set ? years after Thunderdome
My intro was Road Warrior, but this was my twin sister’s intro sine she was a Tina Turner fan. We watched this together, then went back and watched the other two together. We both agreed that this one is the best of the three!
"Throw out the fattest children!" 🤣🤣🤣 I think Beyond Thunderdome is underrated. I love the worldbuilding, the conlang of the oasis kids, and the seedlings of many ideas that George Miller would later elevate in Fury Road/Furiosa.
I think that "noise" you're asking about is a didgeridoo, a Native Australian (Aboriginal) musical instrument. I love the sound that it makes--maybe not the most tuneful or melodic, but it does sound kind of awesome.
Welcome, to another edition of Thunderdome! with the truly awesome Jen Murray 🔥 just passing by to wish everyone a wonderful premiere, have a fun time everyone and don't forget to show your appreciation for all Jen does by leaving a comment and hitting that like button 🔥💙🔥💙
By the way, the buff saxophone guy from The Lost Boys was the long time sax player for Tina Turner--too bad he couldn't make an appearance in this movie.
I'm Australian, and it's fascinating watching this to see some strangely familiar faces. Angry Anderson (Ironbar) was a bit of a given, but the one that I saw that surprised me was George Spartels (Blackfinger) who was a long time host on the Australian kids program called Play School, which I grew up watching. Honestly never knew what else he acted in.
The vibe is completely different because the decision to tie it into Mad Max was last minute. The story was written around a "Nameless Drifter" and someone suggested making that guy Mad Max.
Jen, Glad you enjoyed it. Tina Turner not only acted in this wearing that chain mail dress weighing approximately 80lbs. She recorded the theme song "We Don't Need Another Hero" for the movie. It's pretty cool. Suggest checking out the music video.
Glad that you enjoyed this. While this is the mildest of franchise, I do love how full-on apocalyptic they approached the aesthetics for the characters and landscapes. And the Thunderdome sequence is always fun to watch.
All these years i thought I'd seen this one but then didn't recognise a single scene in the reaction. Either somehow missed it or wiped it from my memory. Thanks for introducing another movie to me Jen!
The score's composer is the late, great Maurice Jarre, who if you'll look him up, has *quite* the resume concerning movie scores. He is also the father of Jean-Michel Jarre, a prominent pioneer of electronic music.
Actually, Tina Turner did sing the theme song for 007 Goldeneye. I liked Thunderdome, but a lot of people didn't care for it. Enjoyed the reaction as usual.
The first one was a low-budget action film patterned after the drive-in exploitation movies of the time. Its worldwide success was a surprise. The second film took the original's success to create a bigger budget epic riff on timeless mythic tropes a la Joseph Campbell and Star Wars. And, yes, the third one used an even bigger budget to create a Saturday matinee adventure film suitable for kids. Remember, this was the Spielberg-Lucas eighties. (Other points of reference for Thunderdome's lighter tone are Road Runner cartoons and Buster Keaton action-comedies.) Fury Road and Furiosa render modern chaotic action style into something more elegant, propulsive and comprehensible than most contemporary green screen epics. But imo, all Mad Max films fulfill their distinct intentions perfectly.
I've always enjoyed the evolution of this franchise. The first film is the crumbling of civilized society, the second is the survival of scattered remnants, and the third civilization is rebuilding and though not at all intentional the budgets of the three films just emphasizes that aspect. Road Warrior will always be my favorite but I was happy to see that they injected some fun in the third and stayed true to making each entry unique from what came before.
22:14 "That's right, Tina!" Love it! 25:30 Tina Turner was GREAT in this! (I don't actually know her other movie credits) I've always loved this ending, and the child world they began from. Best of everything to You.
The bald guy with the head on a stick is a rock musician called Angry Anderson. To be Australian is to evidently be a jack of all trades. If you are interested in his music and something you have never heard before, search for "Bound for Glory". A lot of people have a high opinion of him, as he has a tough exterior but a kind heart - he does a lot of charity for kids and stuff of that nature.
Jen, you're right about this one having a different vibe, just as the second does from the first. One of the things I love about this series is a progression of the actual world. The first movie is a declining civilization, the second is post civilization, and the third shows a new kind of civilization trying to emerge from the ashes. Whatever else you can say about these three movies, there certainly not rinse and repeat carbon copies.
Tina Turner did indeed do a Bond theme from Golden Eye, and speaking of what a good musical ear you have, that musical riff that you sang in the beginning is not an easy thing to do, but then I'm always impressed with your knowledge of music as well as your singing. (I suspect that you may have perfect pitch as well ?) Anyway, always an enjoyable time spent here with you and your channel. With thanks and happy thoughts from your friend in Philly, Billy 😊
He didn't kill him because he recognized him. He's the guy that lives with the old woman from the first movie. Also, that's not what a person with Down Syndrome looks like.
Agree, the original Mad Max trilogy have all very different tones. I still love all of them. Like you said, we go from dark to comedy. For me the second is the best given it plants the seed for the franchise, and still keeps some of the original darkness. But all of them are enjoyable. Thunderdome was iconic at that time.
This movie features another music legend, Angry Anderson of Rose Tattoo (the Head-on-a-Stick guy). Besides his violent stage persona, he´s a really wholesome mate who was made Member of the Order of Australia for his social work.
Great reaction! This was one I saw in the theater as a teen, and I loved it. It's narrowly my favorite of the three, but that's really because each one seemed to get a little better. And by this time I understood that the continuity for the movies was Max, but it's not so much because he is the hero but because he is the agent of change for each of the stories of other people. There could have been a dozen more continuing that trope of having Max wandering through the stories of other people and providing the impetus for their lives to change, at least somewhat for the better. And I liked that the kids, apparently with Master's help, lit the city for Max and others to find. A very different movie, but still one I enjoy to rewatch. I really liked Tina Turner as Auntie Entity in this movie. She's harsh, but so is the Australian Outback, so she's a product of her literal environment like most people in these movies. She made for a dangerous bit of glamour in her role, and her outfit just accentuated that. Loved her here!
There is a festival here in the states called "Wasteland Weekend"...and there is a Thunderdome at it. Everyone dresses in Mad Max/Fallout style garb...it's pretty fuckin great.
my favorite of the mad max movies! some say the kids showing up was selling out to be more family friendly and is the equivalent of the ewoks in star wars and kind of ruins it, but i thought them being like a cargo cult was cool
I absolutely ADORE this movie and Tina. I recognize that it's the least liked Max movie but it might be my favorite for all the reasons people don't like it. Love Tina's music in it too.
Thank you Miss Jen for the Mad Max movies. They are some of the best cult classics imo. Mel Gibson does so good in these movies, it would be really neat to see him do another Mad Max movie. I would watch that no questions asked! Have a good day.😊
I do believe that the pilot was the same character from the 2nd movie, and the kid was his from the girl he left with. My guess is that she didn't survive.
Do you believe that because you want to believe it? I thought it was the same character, too, when I saw this film back then. I also thought that Blaster was Benno from the first movie. Now that we've got internet, I did some research. They are both different characters. But maybe Max didn't want to kill Blaster because he was reminded of Benno.
I worked for a tech company that would have a weekly Thunderdome meetings with a female Chief Technical Officer where product managers would fight for resources. As the information officer I longed to get her to say I ran Barter Town, but kept my mouth shut.

Tina Turner sang the Golden Eye Bond Theme
That's the joke
@@concept3009 No, I think Jen either didn't realize Tina did the Goldeneye theme or forgot. That didn't seem sarcastic or joking to me.
Dang beat me to it

Goldeneye by Tina Turner was a real belter! Love it!

There's still time
We got mohawks to spare, tho', so there's that!
The devouring sands I'm happy to live without.
Indeed, the aesthetics of our current slow apocalypse are quite boring and disappointing! 😂
And here I was thinking that wearing a doll head as a hat was me being forward thinking.
That instrument playing at the beginning is called a Didgeridoo. It's a wind instrument closely associated with Australia and was developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia over 1,000 years ago. It is played using vibrating lips and circular breathing to produce a continuous drone.
I remember Rolf Harris doing a demo of a didgeridoo at my local mall in the mid 80s. Of course that memory is a tad tainted by more recent events
I thought it sounded a bit like a bull roarer also.
@@chrisnielsen9885 Did he ask you to have a blow on his digeridoo? Remember the vibrating lips and circular breathing Tie me kangaroo down sport...
You could tell that the big smile on Tina's face was totally legit as she ziplined into Thunderdome.
RIP, Tina Turner, 1939-2023.
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Tina was at the height of her solo career. Her presence was gladly welcomed by audiences. As for her character, I appreciated that she let Max go. She clearly respected him.
"Ain't we a pair? Goodbye soldier." That was perfect
"We don't need another hero"
"I've said before, it's not a movie--an '80s movie--without a saxophone in it."
Yes, we did enjoy our premarital sax.
Fun fact : The Saxophone player on the soundtrack is Tim Capello who is also the Sax player in the Lost Boys !
@@harveylee51 He was also the sax player in Tina Turner's touring band
@@harveylee51 and played sax on the Axel F theme in the new Beverly Hills Cop : Axel F soundtrack too.
Tim Capello more recently did sax for the synthwave band The Midnight and it’s awesome
Nothing like blowing your own horn!

That's the only part of this movie that I found interesting.
Barter Town is lame.
All my nieces and nephew know the price to ride on uncles shoulders... "Who runs batter town!"
One of my all time favorite movie quotes... Max "So what's the plan?" Pig killer "Plan? There ain't no plan."
Same. Hard not to throw it into a work meeting.
I live by that quote.
That "Australian sounding" noise at the beginning was a digeridoo. An indigenous Australian instrument

"Imagine if all laws had to rhyme." LMAO
Let's compromise and have them rhyme in Latin! 😀
"Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves"
The badass call of the 80's
Tina's song in the credits was the movies title song. "We don't need another hero" The whole series is one of my favorites
The song was released as a single to promote the film & was a huge hit.

Tina Turner DID do a Bond Theme! Goldeneye!
Most people seem to consider this the worst entry in the franchise, but i put Thunderdome at the top of my Mad Max enjoyment list.
Its the best of the Mel Gibson versions.

Your wish is granted because Tina Turner sang the title song to Pierce Brosnan’s first Bond movie Goldeneye

I think that "noise" you're asking about is a didgeridoo, a Native Australian (Aboriginal) musical instrument. I love the sound that it makes--maybe not the most tuneful or melodic, but it does sound kind of awesome.

Good eye Jen. That was the guy from the aeroplane, but he was also the gyro pilot from The Road Warrior. Same actor two different characters.
He was also also the Mouth of Sauron in LOTR.

By the way, the buff saxophone guy from The Lost Boys was the long time sax player for Tina Turner--too bad he couldn't make an appearance in this movie.
Jen, George Miller was a producer on the movie "Babe" (1995). If you haven't seen it it would be a great one to react to. 👍💯
"Two men enter, one man leaves" is one of those quotes that most everyone has heard, even if they're not sure where it's from

Always Impressed when you point out a Musical Instrument that they have playing,...Very knowledgeable, in any of your reaction videos. 🙂

This movie is 11 on the saxophone scale.
The Australian noise you wondered about was the music of the didgeridoo, a traditional woodwind instrument of the aboriginals.
Heck yeah we liked her. I mean, it was Tina! This is the only one I caught in the theater.
Thunderdome is such a good flick! FYI, Tina did sing the theme to Goldeneye (James Bond).

It’s super different from the others, but I always find it really a fun one. Lots of fun set pieces in it as well. Super happy you enjoyed it!
That "very Australian sound" is called a didgeridoo. It's an aboriginal instrument.
1:25 that noise you are referencing is called a Didgeridoo. Brought one back home with me to Texas after visiting Australia.

"Dump the fattest children. Just kidding!" made my cough on my own spit laughing so suddenly.
This was on TV a lot when I was a kid. I had a crush on Savannah Nix, the main/oldest girl. 😁
Max couldn't kill Blaster because Blaster was a person with Down Syndrome
Yeah, he chose to be merciful to him because of that. Because like Master said, he had the mind of a child.
However, he did make a deal, it did not have caveats for sympathy.
He didn't kill him because he recognized him. He's the guy that lives with the old woman from the first movie.
Also, that's not what a person with Down Syndrome looks like.

I really liked Tina Turner as Auntie Entity in this movie. She's harsh, but so is the Australian Outback, so she's a product of her literal environment like most people in these movies. She made for a dangerous bit of glamour in her role, and her outfit just accentuated that. Loved her here!
There is a festival here in the states called "Wasteland Weekend"...and there is a Thunderdome at it. Everyone dresses in Mad Max/Fallout style garb...it's pretty fuckin great.
I love the idea that the whole thing is a telling of a myth. Max has become a legend.
my favorite of the mad max movies! some say the kids showing up was selling out to be more family friendly and is the equivalent of the ewoks in star wars and kind of ruins it, but i thought them being like a cargo cult was cool
Tina Turners song ... "we don't need another hero" ... is used in the final credits, but not nearly as good as the "production" song
All hail the best character master blaster!
I absolutely ADORE this movie and Tina. I recognize that it's the least liked Max movie but it might be my favorite for all the reasons people don't like it. Love Tina's music in it too.
Great reaction. Thanks!
Thank you Miss Jen for the Mad Max movies. They are some of the best cult classics imo. Mel Gibson does so good in these movies, it would be really neat to see him do another Mad Max movie. I would watch that no questions asked! Have a good day.😊
And so the legend of Jen Murray grows.
I do believe that the pilot was the same character from the 2nd movie, and the kid was his from the girl he left with. My guess is that she didn't survive.
Do you believe that because you want to believe it? I thought it was the same character, too, when I saw this film back then. I also thought that Blaster was Benno from the first movie. Now that we've got internet, I did some research. They are both different characters. But maybe Max didn't want to kill Blaster because he was reminded of Benno.
"2 men enter, 1 man leaves "
We's lookin behind us now...
Pockseeclypse! I love the kids doing the Tell in this movie
I worked for a tech company that would have a weekly Thunderdome meetings with a female Chief Technical Officer where product managers would fight for resources. As the information officer I longed to get her to say I ran Barter Town, but kept my mouth shut.
I'm glad you reacted to this. I actually first saw this at a drive-in (remember those?). Awesome video Jen--waiting for your next one.
