00:00Terminus is the perfect example of what a poorly written script is.
00:03The characters are sloppy, the stakes incomprehensible, the dialogues horribly poorly written,
00:08and it's a shame because the initial proposal had some good looks.
00:11This truck race in a post-apocalyptic world sounds cool on paper,
00:14although a bit far-fetched, halfway between the Paris-Dakar and American football.
00:19In short, the film is clearly not a success.
00:21Johnny plays badly, at least he tries to play what he's given and it's not great.
00:25The rest of the cast is next door.
00:26The film is slow, the cinematography is ugly, and the fights are parody-worthy.
00:36It's a failure that Johnny will have a hard time digesting.
00:39This French Mad Max is not convincing.
00:41Johnny will be much more relevant in his role on stage in 1982 at the Palais des Sports,
00:45when he presents a show where the themes of the two films by George Miller
00:48offer a unique stage performance, at least in France.
00:52The stage sets are impressive.
00:54Johnny arrives under the name of the survivor, animal skin on his shoulders.
00:58He burns his enemies by pointing at them before starting to sing.
01:02Between two songs, fight choreographies are staged.
01:05The whole thing is very visual, tells a real story.
01:08That is to say, with a setting like that, lights like that, animal skins, everything,
01:13When I go on stage, I feel like an actor shooting a movie.
