Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) (1981 Australia)
MEL GIBSON in MAD MAX 2
co-starring MIKE PRESTON * BRUCE SPENCE * VERNON WELLS
Directed by GEORGE MILLER
Their battles, especially the climactic 15-minute chase, set new standards for kinetic action. Many of the other characters are also memorable and some don't even have proper names, known only as 'Warrior Woman' for example, or The Mechanic. The film, as a whole, created a new mythology and was copied quite a bit by other, cheaper post-holocaust films in the eighties.
here's a better trailer:

Mad Max stunts
BoG's Score: 10
Something else about The Road Warrior - the stunts. The stuntmen on this film, much like the characters in the film, were madmen. Modern audiences, watching this film now, have to remember that there was no CGI, no computer FX back then. All that we see on the screen is real - those are real people spinning end over end for what looks like 50 feet. From what I remember, there were more than a few injuries on this picture, some fairly serious. So, as with all the other stuff we mentioned, the stuntwork in this one also set new standards.
