How could it not?įrom the first moment we meet Aunty Entity, as she drinks in the down-on-his-luck (even by end-of-the-world standards) Max and chuckles, “But he’s just a raggedy man,” it was clear that the actress-singer-legend was approaching this world on her own terms.
Tina turner armor in mad max beyond thunderdome movie#
So a Mad Max movie starring Tina Turner in a chainmail one-piece with '80s shoulder pads, complete with omnipresent music video tie-ins – where she was still wearing that chainmail! – must’ve made perfect sense to franchise auteur George Miller and Warner Bros. Yeah, the gazzzoline-deprived, post-fall-of-society setting is always the same (even if it’s under-sketched in the first film), but the specifics of each, and certainly the tone, have varied greatly across the four films. See, the Mad Max movies have always benefited from being quite different from one another. For from Aunty Entity’s high tower in Bartertown, a more fantastical, cleaner, and dare I say glamorous version of the Mad Max universe showered down. And while that may sound like a slight, it’s actually a compliment. That peculiarity was in large part the result of Turner’s presence and the rock- and pop-star theatricality she brought to the role. It does not store any personal data.Hearing about Turner’s passing this week at the age of 83, I’m reminded of Beyond Thunderdome, which was not only the most commercial and Hollywood entry of what was back then the Mad Max trilogy (Fury Road would follow, finally, 30 years later), but also the oddest.
