Not that interesting, I know, but it's odd the way they cut the character's speech. I'll leave them nothing, of that you can be sure". Pappagallo says "But first defend the fuel. It then cuts to the Old Woman saying "Words." etc. Pappagallo replies "If we have to, yes! There's always a way. In the currently available version, the old man says "How d'yer expect us to get et there? Drag eeet?" The scene with Pappagallo taking a straw poll on what to do about the tanker had some additional dialogue to his speech. (I won't get this exactly correct, so bear with me).
The original UK VHS release was even longer, but not by much and the additional dialogue wasn't very interesting. Hopefully one day we'll see it in better shape. It works somewhat better this way (especially the finale), but it is missing too much music to really accurately capture the sweep of this score and it still sounds awful. I included the part of the sound effects track with the “Max Goes Around the Mountain” cue, which is one of my favorites. I took the CD and cut up the tracks and put them in chronological order. I was called The Road Warrior in the USA, because Mad Max had barely gotten a release. The original soundtrack is just an editing mess. I certainly would love to own an expanded version of the score.

Plus there are snippets of footage and dialogue that was not in the American version that i haven't seen before (extended arrow removal, shot of Wez's dead boyfriend with the boomerang in his head and more lines of speech from the compound's leader). I just watched the BluRay and realized that the title is no longer "The Road Warrior" but instead "Mad Max 2". I pray that it gets a release before I become old and senile :-) I do have a bootleg but it sounds faulty. There are many different pieces that I wish were available, outside of watching the movie. I also like the short piece when Gyro wipes his mouth, after feeding from the final dregs of dog food. It mirrors the quality of Morricone's best music, I feel. My favourite piece comes when Max escapes discovery, thanks to the Feral Kid, and makes it back to the Gyro Copter. One of the reasons for this is that I love the score.Įchoing posts above, it's about moments, as much as whole chunks of music. It's the film I've watched the most times I never get tired of it.

When anyone asks me what my all time favourite movie is, I have to reply "Mad Max 2". The album version of Marauders Massacre seems to be an edit excising the build up but I've listened to this track in the film many times and can't really find where or how they've made the edit cleanly. Then there's my personal favourite awesome set piece as Max brings back the truck. Some of the short 40 second or so transitional cues are indeed the best, like the Mars Bringer of War like 'Discovering the Compound' or the grinding ostinato as Max catches up to the gyro captain. Was it recorded for the album? Or just a truncated version of the cue? In the film, the buildup at the beginning is much longer.Īnd yes, I love this score to bits. I've always wondered about "Marauder's Massacre". My fear is someone will release this & botch it by missing all the very short cues that are among the best parts. Hell, I recorded onto cassette from the laserdisc years ago & THAT sounds better - surprisingly crisp, the film mix is really good. But its all we have & I still play it often. 30mins minus the useless sound efx reprises, sequencing that is.questionable, poor sound. The Varese is one of the worst produced things ever. Yes, David, that 'thing' is a no-no & a real mess anyway. Well Max & Warrior Woman Virginia Hey do exchange a look, so I guess that's one spot. It seems to be the real deal but monosounding. Sorry if Ibring up something hush hush, but what is the 21 track 50 minutes album I have seen? Just walk away, and I'll spare your lives! That movie, besides being a classic entertainment, really is a showcase for music. I'm always amazed this score never gets more love. not really a place for it though is there!īring on the film stems! :-/ Or wait just a few more years until technology can REALLY enhance those elements, if that's truly all that's left. My #1 favorite score, what got me into music in theįirst place. The question is are the Film Stems still out there?Īnd is there any more music on the mono tape?
