My life fades.The vision dims. All that remains are memories.

My life fades. 私の人生は終わりに近づいている
The vision dims. 目もかすむ
All that remains are memories.もう残っているのは記憶だけだ
I remember a time of chaos. 思い出すのは混乱の時代
Ruined dreams.破壊された夢
This wasted land.この荒廃した土地
But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior. The man we called "Max".だが何よりも思い出すのはマックスとよばれた戦う男のことだ
To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time.彼を理解するには、あの昔を話さねばならぬ
When the world was powered by the black fuel.世界に黒い燃料が供給され活力に溢れていた時
And the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. 砂漠にはパイプや鋼鉄からなる途轍もない大都市が無数にあった
Gone now, swept away. 今はない、消え去ってしまった
For reasons long forgotten, 理由は忘れ去られたが、
two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all.二つの途方もなく強大な戦闘集団が戦争を起こし、彼等全体を飲み込むような炎を爆発させてしまった
Without fuel, they were nothing.燃料が無ければ彼等は無力だった
They built a house of straw.麦わらの家が建つようになって
The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. 機械の轟音も弱まりやがて消えた
Their leaders talked and talked and talked. 指導者達はえんえんと話合いをくり返した
But nothing could stem the avalanche. しかし押し寄せる波を止められなかった
Their world crumbled.世界は崩れ落ち
The cities exploded. あらゆる都市は破裂した
A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear.略奪の嵐、恐怖の劫火
Men began to feed on men.人肉を食らうようになり
On the roads it was a white line nightmare.道路は恐ろしい無法狂気の場であった
Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive.腐肉を漁るか、強奪する獣になれる者だけが生き残れた
The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice.無法集団が道路を支配し、燃料のために戦争をした
And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed. こんな腐敗の大混乱の中で、普通の人々は打ちのめされ粉々になった
Men like Max.マックスのような人々は
The warrior Max.勇敢なマックスさえも
In the roar of an engine, he lost everything.エンジンの唸りの中で、彼は全てを失った
And became a shell of a man, 貝のように口を閉ざすようになって
a burnt out, desolate man,心は焼き尽くされ焦土と化した
a man haunted by the demons of his past,過去の悪鬼達に憑り付かれた男
a man who wandered out into the wasteland.男は荒廃した土地をさ迷い歩いた
And it was here, それがここだ
in this blighted place, この希望のない場所で、
that he learned to live again...彼はもう一度生きる事を学んだのだ・・・・

The Road Warrior (1981)

Directed by George Miller.
Starring Virginia Hey, Syd Heylen, Mel Gibson.

Watch trailer
Director George Miller's follow-up to his own 1979 hit Mad Max is proof that not all sequels are inferior to their originals. If anything, this brutal sci-fi action film is even more intense and exciting than its predecessor, although the state of its post-apocalyptic world has only become worse. Several years after the deaths of his wife and child, Max (Mel Gibson) has become an alienated nomad, wandering an Australian outback that has fallen into tribal warfare conducted from scattered armed camps. After a road battle with psychotic villain Wez (Vernon Wells), Max meets up with the odd Gyro Captain (Bruce Spence), who takes him to the camp of a sympathetic group led by Pappagallo (Mike Preston). As Pappagallo's people are camped at a refinery, Max plans to take their oil -- more precious than gold in this world -- but eventually joins them to fight a band of marauders led by the evil Humungus (Kjell Nilsson). The stunning climax features a heart-pounding chase scene involving an oil tanker-truck and a frenzied rush for the coast, with Humungus and his forces in hot pursuit. Nilsson is a scary villain, with huge muscles and a sinister pre-Jason hockey mask, but the stunt work is the key here, and it is more flamboyantly dynamic than ever, edited at breakneck pace and staged with manic fury by Miller and stunt coordinator Max Aspin. Savage and kinetic, Mad Max 2 is a must-see for action buffs. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

The Road Warrior (1981)

Last night I watched THE ROAD WARRIOR for the first time in probably six years. I cannot believe that this film is 25 years old. It works better today than 99% of the action movies I've seen in the last five years. For an action film, this is close to flawless. Where are you when we need you George Miller? The savagery is not only believable, it's downright eerie. Everything in this movie works! This costumes, the actors, the story, and the tone are all pitch perfect and flow in perfect harmony with one another. There are also stunts in this film that would scare the living **** out of half of the stuntmen working today. No CGI here, folks! Nothing to see here but pure testosterone. Throw in the whole post-apocolyptic backdrop and you have a sure-fire winner. I absolutely love it. Isn't it great when you are reminded of the movies you loved as a kid, and then discover they are just as good now as they ever were?

(did anything ever come of the talk about Mad Max 4?........i heard the name was going to be Fury Road, but that was about two years ago)
