When diplomacy fails, there's only one alternative: violence. Force must be applied without apology - It's the Starfleet way.

What kick-ass 80's B-movie is the original screenshot from?
Mad Max 2. Best of the original trilogy with Mel Gibson. Dialogue also pulled from it.
Edit: Title is actually The Road Warrior, but since the first film is Mad Max, most refer to it as Mad Max 2.
Waterworld was the best Mad Max (shots fired)
Correction: the Waterworld stunt show at Universal Studios was the best Mad Max.
Excuse me. My Dinner With Andre was the best Mad Max
I actually prefer the first film. Mel Gibson was hotter because he 1) was younger and 2) didn’t speak.
although… I also really like the third because 1) I saw it in the theater when I was 6, and because 2)
WHAAAAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT, GOT TO DO WITH IT?
and those awesome earrings Tina Turner wore throughout the whole movie. I still remember them!
edit: but, yeah, the second film is, basically, the first one kinda-sorta remade as a mainstream, Hollywood-style film. the original was kind of a concept film with no actual dialog. it’s actually really great, but general audiences might get a bit lost with petty much zero dialogue. it’s an arthouse indie film, pretty much.
edit: IMO, the original is the better film, but it’s a bit rough around the edges in some parts. The production quality is very high, and you can really tell that everyone is very much giving their best effort, which I always love to see. The Road Warrior is far more polished, but it loses a lot of that… I dunno, “Indie film spirit” I guess you could call it, and the story seems… I like it when I have to figure stuff out, ya know? I find that rewarding. I don’t always like stuff spoon-fed to me. if I learn something new on a 3rd rewatch, I love that. The original Mad Max was like that.
The second film, The Road Warrior was laid out more simply and plainly, designed for general audiences. It had dialogue, a more developed plot, was produced by a major studio, and a much higher budget. But it lost a lot of the charm along the way.
And then there's the only redeeming part of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome:
Been way too long since I watched Road Warrior. They have the first one and Fury Road all the time. Occasionally Beyond Thunderdome... Almost never does anything I subscribe to have Road Warrior. I'ma have to pirate that shit.
The Road Warrior is the black sheep of the series, though I have no idea why. I think it's the strongest.
