7What people say
A+ for production design, car chases, Mel Gibson's hair, “We Don't Need Another Hero,” and Tina Turner's costumes.D- for turning one of the bleakest franchises in film history into a kid's cartoon, complete with wacky character names, cutesy gibberish language, and lil' rascals banging baddies in the face with frying pans.
A town run entirely on pig shit is one of the best metaphors for Hollywood I've seen in a while.
