Mad Max (Beyond Thunderdome) is an Australian post-apocalyptic adventure movie with Mel Gibson as „Mad Max“ and Tina Turner as „Aunty Entity“. It’s the sequel to „Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior)“ and the first real starring role for Tina in an action movie. George Miller offered her the role on the same day, as her single What’s Love Got To Do With It reached #1 on the Billboard charts. The shooting took place in late 1984, while Tina was on tour in Australia.
The theatrical trailer for the movie is available on all formats of the home movie as a bonus. For promotion, the „Making of Mad Max,“ narrated by Tina Turner, includes some interesting behind the scenes information and one cut stunt scene.
