The Horrible American Dub

Man, I haven't seen this since I was like 14. It's brutal. It's funny to watch them in a row though because with the American accents I instinctively think the woman is driving since she's on the left side.

Road Warrior is my favorite remake of Seven Samurai (Magnificent Seven sucked)

There are even seven guys in the tanker convoy against the bandit horde.

This is literally the only connection between the two films.

Oh, come on. Bandits threatening to raid a poor village for their resources, wandering warrior stumbles across them, puts together a team and a battle plan, sacrifices everything to save the villagers and then finds himself screwed over in the end? Okay, "remake" may have been the wrong word, but there's definitely some inspiration there.

Minus the putting together a team and a battle plan bit, which doesn't happen in The Road Warrior, Pappagallo puts together the plan, those are all hallmarks of the westerns that Seven Samurai was inspired by. I think it's way more Shane than it is Seven Samurai, down to the interactions with the kid.

Road Warrior has IMO the best car crash in movie history.

The Humungus' jeep completely disintegrates from the impact. So satisfyingly powerful.

The other one that always gets me is when the car flips and that poor guy goes sailing through the air towards the camera.

I kind of really like Thunderdome. I mean it's tricky because the best stuff is the Dome and they spend an awful lot of time... beyond... it, but there's a kind of goofy Peter Pan charm to the whole thing that works on me more and more with each viewing.
