Targeting fans of the post-apocalyptic movie and
filled with so much detail this is not a quick read; but worth the time as this
picturesque, incredibly complete book is one of the best companion pieces in
recent years. Fans will savor the location
photos, paintings, sketches and other drawings, and architectural and vehicle
designs, etc. that bring to life the originality and resourcefulness of the
production crew. Besides the usual
appearances of the leads; the audience also obtains a glimpse of secondary and
even tertiary characters, and desolate, usually deadly locales. The arsenal is as impressive as the look at
the characters and locations. As
expected in a Mad Max Road Warrior thriller, the various vehicles steal the
show with kudos to the designers who succeeded in
protecting the actors and stunt-performers while also insuring functionality
and screen intensity. Adding to this terrific
tie-in is a short look back to the original 1980s Mad Max movies.
