Posting the original song here as a tribute to Tina Turner. I saw this film back when it came out. Sitting in that theater in the 80's and seeing this insanely cool lady in her post-apocalyptic chainmail punk attire was quite the neat treat. She was crazy cool in that film. A presence for sure.
I grew up in a house where my parents played her records. They would often praise her for breaking free from Ike. I didn't fully grasp what they meant, but I could tell they respected this woman very much. In fact, when the movie came out, my mother took my brother and I because she wanted to see Tina Turner in a movie. Beyond Thunderdome was an amazing film, so we all left pretty pleased. 1985 was a really great year.
Rest in peace, Ms. Turner.
