I can see what he is getting at. the funny thing is, most people say "Post-apocalyptic" when referring to Mad Max. trhe original was not. it was mildly futuristic, but not end of the world by any stretch.
however, he has a point. think of it in relation to TCM or devil's rejects. A roving band of sickos wander the countryside, killing and raping innocent people because they like it.
Then they over react to someone trying to get away from them and end up murdering a cop's wife and baby.
He then gets horrific revenge on them.
It actually almost qualifies as a "revenge horror" if you squint a little.
it didnt become post-apocalyptic for real until the road warrior.
