Right off the bat, I want everyone who reads this review to know that Mad Max Special Edition contains the original Australian language track. I was mislead by another review, it said that MGM's Mad Max Special Edition didn't have the original track, but the old discontinued Orion version of Mad Max did. Well, that was false information, because after all the time, effort, and money it took to track down that elusive version, it turned out to only play in the US Dubbed English Language track! So disregard the information in that review and buy this one. PROS: Plays in both Fullscreen and Widescreen! In addition to the US Dub, this DVD contains the option to switch the Language track to the original Australian track! Contains 2 Documentaries, "Mel Gibson: The birth of a Superstar" & "Mad Max: The Film Phenommenon!" Theatrical Trailers. Audio comentary with Jon Dowding, David Eggby, Chris Murray, & Tim Ridge. "Road Rants" Movie Trivia & Fun facts about the movie! Photo Gallery TV Spots And More! CONS??? Well... Since the DVD is double sided, it's harder to hold it without smudging it, I guess that's a con...? Overall: Mad Max is an excellent movie that's fun to watch, easy to follow, easy to appreciate, and exciting to boot! Combine that with the original Australian language and a whole lot of special features, and all you have to ask yourself is, "Do I want my popcorn buttered, salted, or both? Overall Rating: 5 Stars!

A bona ride CLASSIC, which retains its status as such. Quite frankly, I am a bit suspicious about the number of one and two star ratings this film has, along with the three or four word “review” attached. A bombastic performance from Gibson, whose pending SUSPERSTAR status was clearly on display in his first major film role, combined with incredible action sequences and a straight-forward revenge plot that will have you glued to your seat and cheering aloud when the mighty fist of vengeance is struck hard and squarely in the faces of those who murdered his family. As far as people complaining about the supposed lack of a plot, I wonder about which film you are referring to, as I don’t think the plot could be any more straight forward. Despite cranking out quite a few great films, the Australian film scene was barely recognized before this film came along and shook the foundation of Hollywood, as well as the low budget indie scene so hard, it put Australia on the map and helped to raise the profile of the country and its movie output for years afterward. A worthy purchase and an excellent way to spend a few hours.

The movie that put Mel Gibson on the radar screen,I know it's all been said before,this is a great movie,no doubt about that,unless your ideal of a good movie is Love Story with your special someone,but before you dismiss this movie as being just a guy movie girls,let me tell you this is a love story gone bad,very bad.This is what causes Max to be Mad Max.I will also say that this movie is so good,that one of my dogs is named Max,after the character from this film.Now I don't know if you want a special edition of this movie,but I have seen the original Aussie release before,and glad I have it now on DVD.So if your a fan of Mel Gibson,but your worried about this being a low budget movie,rest assured that this is a very good low budget movie.It's not believable,but what movie really is.It's dated,but what old movie isn't.But this movie stands out from all others in this genre.Buy it.

Classic

大好きな作品のBlu-ray 日本国内でカットされたシーンも欲しいかったです……

Love this movie and have to say I never seen it look or sound so good. If you haven't bought a movie form Shout Factory (or it's Sci-fi, Horror, and Exploitation film company Scream Factory) let me tell you from the many Blu-Ray's I bought from them that their products are top notch. They take great care in delivering high quality DVDs and Blu-Rays for many TV shows and movies you can't get anywhere else or in the case of Mad Max with the kind of care they put in to their products. As mentioned before the picture and sound quality are outstanding, not to mention the new cover art looks amazing. It is a little on the light side when it comes to extras but then again this was low budget movie from 1979. Even so, what they do have is pretty good. Over all I have to say if your a fan of the Mad Max series this is a great buy and if your having trouble finding a movie or TV show I suggest you check out what else Shout Factory has to offer. You might just find that one you were looking for or if your lucky the one you forgot all about. Now as for the film it's self, Mad Max takes place in a world barely holding on to civilization as roaming gangs are wreaking havoc on the roads. the young Max Rockatansky (Awesome name) is a patrol car policeman trying to take down these gangs. now without giving to much of the plot away I should say again this movie is from 1979 so it's not a fast burning movie. Not to say it doesn't have action, in fact there are some of the craziest stunts I've ever seen in this movie, including one where a guy goes flying off a bike that's just crazy. But after the beginning chase it slows down a bit which is made more obvious with the fact there is little in terms of a score but over all it's a great flick. Another thing is unlike the other Mad Max movies this is a revenge film which were popular in the 70's where as the next films are more about redemption. So if all that sounds good to you (it does to me) I highly recommend you give it a watch if only to see where Max Rockatansky's journey all started and how he became the man that can survive in the apocalypse.
