Which is sad. Only Kennedy knew his Mad Max world 100%. Only Kennedy could have dictated what and how Max would have acted in certain situations. There's only so much that Miller could know of Max- only so much. I strongly believe that Kennedy would have made MM III more serious and more violent. The music would have been more haunting and dynamic at the same time. I think that Kennedy would NOT have had the 'cave kids' act so stupid and corny. I think he would have even had Max lose a limb or an eye or some fingers. I don't think he would have had Tina Turner sing. The title would have been definitely different and finally, the film would have gotten an R rating.

No no no. I'm not argueing. I'm simply stating that the Mad Max / Road Warrior George Miller is dead. Either I read it in a 1982 Starlog magazine or on the Internet, but, Miller said that he actually detests violent movies. Maybe he did Mad Max 1 and 2 to show the world that they should wise up and cause peace. I don't know. I do know however that Mad Max and Road Warrior were made shortly before the beginning of Video rentals (VHS and Beta) not to mention the rediculous PG-13 Rating. Now that Miller knew that little kiddies and anybody else under 18 could see these extremely violent films, he switched controls and did lighter films.
Do I think that Miller could bring back the Road Warrior quality? No way.
