I always was under the impression that it made no waves at the box office but became an instant cult classic that went on and on. Maybe I’m wrong.
Bad, yet utterly awesome movie all at the same time.
Are you talking about the original Mad Max or its sequel The Road Warrior? I think it was the original, which has more of an indy low-budget feel to it, that had no box office but picked up an instant cult following. The sequel is more polished and I’m guessing probably made some money. Thunderdome was slick but jar jar binxed the franchise.
