 Mad Max Aug 31, 2010
In the not-too-distant future, the roads are ruled by anarchy. Gangs control the streets, destroying anything in their path and killing as they please. A rouge cop sets off on a suicide mission to take out these ruthless thugs after his wife and child are murdered out of spite by the gang leaders. As opposed to the over-the-top action that drove THE ROAD WARRIOR in the years to follow, MAD MAX is a much more character driven film, with all of the heart and soul that was missing from the subsequent sequels. Aussie native Mel Gibson provides a powerful breakthrough performance as Max, a man pushed over the edge by hatred and grief. Director George Miller creates a series of dynamic chase sequences filled with incredible stunts and heart-racing suspense. While the film appears to be extremely graphic and violent, Miller tastefully implies the most horrific moments off-screen. In the most devastating sequence where Max's family is run down by Toecutter and his gang, the camera focuses on the road just past the action, as the bikers speed past and a small shoe and ball sprawl across the pavement. The combined effect of George Miller's fast-paced action, beautiful cinematography, and timeless revenge plot make MAD MAX one of the most exhilarating post-apocalyptic thrillers in the genre.

The most Ultimate Movie ever! Jun 16, 2010
If you own this movie and have this version of it, then I'm sure you haven't even checked to see if the old US dubbed version of the dialog is included, because it was awful! well if you're like me, and you love this movie dearly as I do, then you have seen it countless times and know all the dialog, well here's the catch of my review of this version, the original version! Watch it on normal until the scene in the wreaking yard then change the sound to the US dialog, it is arguably the funniest thing ever to exist, that US dubbed dialog on that scene! The voice of the grease rat yard worker makes me cry with hysterical laughter every time I hear it, and if you love this movie as much as I do, you may want to get this version for the great original sound track of dialog and even the humorous aspects of the US dub!
The Special features are great, too! Kind of a heart breaker to hear the truth behind the scenes, but it's still wicked and worth every penny,
Not to mention it's the greatest movie ever to exist and will never be dethroned!
 Mad Max May 31, 2010
Perhaps the only true Mad Max Movie and the one that makes the most sense(Or not?) good acting by Mel, Great Action and Cool Vehicles. Compared to what comes later in this franchise it actually makes sense in retrospect.
Mad Max (1979) Feb 17, 2010
A catalyst in the Contemporary Era revenge-actioner movement, this George Miller flick features a young, then-unknown Mel Gibson in only his second movie role, as top-cop Max Rockatansky. After a pursuit of Max's ends in a fiery crash, killing the pursued (a biker named Nightrider), he is targeted by motor-terrorists for the death of their fellow gang member. When Max goes on a vacation trip with his wife and their infant son, they are attacked by the malicious, vengeful mob, leaving Max a childless widower hungry for his own violent revenge--and that's exactly what he gets. Set in post-apocalyptic Australia, this film, made for a meager $400,000, held the highest cost-profit ratio of any film in Hollywood history until 1999, when Blair Witch surpassed its mark.
