Varoom!!! At a weekend, garage sale, I landed a trio of original lobby cards commemorating the George Miller/Mel Gibson "Mad Max" trilogy, plus a popular poster marking Miller/Tom Hardy's energetic revival.
The initial card springs from Spain and spotlights Gibson's Max Rockatansky and Steve Bisley's Jim Goose: a cool, relaxed view of the actors/characters, considering the cataclysmic circumstances that await them.
The next card stems from Germany and promotes "Mad Max 2", aka "The Road Warrior", with emphasis on a tense Max at the wheel. I like the grim contemplation of this one: basic and representative of the iconic hero.
The third card salutes "Beyond Thunderdome", with a regal shot of Tina Turner as the conniving Auntie Entity. This entry is from France and features vivid color to enhance the barbaric pageantry.
To cap off the set, I grabbed a 24" x 36" "Fury Road" reproduction poster, depicting Hardy in an apt, forlorn pose, capped by the sardonic slogan, "What A Lovely Day".
I think the world of the Mad Max franchise, and I'm pleased to the max to have these terrific tie-ins in my collection.
