My husband & I have watched this movie several times, & it is safe to say that this has always been one of his favorites. When the new 4th movie in the series became available, i decided to find them all. Number one wasn't as easy to find as two, three, & four, but I managed to find the first one, & we watched it the other night. There is lots of action to keep you on the edge of your seat in this science fiction film. Shocking to see such a young Mel Gibson, also! No complaints on the acting or the story line. Now we can move on to the other three!

This is the only movie Ive seen more than 100 times. Perhaps its my love of vintage motorcycles and that sweet ass black ford falcon interceptor that aids in my interest. The american overdubbed version is far far better than the aussie version. It takes on a speed racer feel with the cartoony quality of the voice overdubbs (i.e. bubba zenetty, the Goose and fee fee). I used to wonder why other actors in the movie never went on to continued success like Mel did. Then I saw the raw un overdubbed version and it all made sense. Geoff Parry would have succeeded more as an actor if he had somehow inherited his overdubb actors style and delivery. The Goose also suffers from this affliction. The Road Warrior fizzles in comparison to #1 and thunderdome was the biggest waste of time money talent and effort that ive seen since Smokey and the bandit 3. I hope Mad Max 4 learns from the lessons of 2 and 3 and gets back to the basics like #1 did. We shall see.Read full review
Say what you will about Mel Gibson's problems in the recent past. If you can't separate and actors acting life from his real life then you'd have to boycott half of Hollywood. This is a young Mel Gibson in the infancy of his acting career and a pretty damn good movie.

While the Mad Max series is in need of a re-release, this 2002 DVD is the most current one of any of the three films. The commentary tracks (featuring directors, production crew and trivia experts) alone are well worth buying the special edition over the regular DVD version. They are entertaining, informative and answer a lot of the questions you've found yourself asking if you have seen this movie before. Also included are the original Australian audio as well as the hilarious U.S. dubbed audio. The other special features are somewhat negligible, but worth watching anyway. My favorite aspect of the film is the fact that all the stunts were performed by actual human beings, driving real vehicles. If you're tired of the overly CGI laden action movies of today, this should be a refreshing alternative. The action is only a bonus to the gripping story, though. Mad Max is the dramatic tale of the transformation of an ordinary man into a hardened survivor of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. If the Road Warrior or Beyond Thunderdome drew you into the series (as they did me) this is where it all starts. You'll learn the tragic origins of the man they call Max and find out why he's so mad at the world.Read full review
It is one of my favorite movies and hard to find. I am enjoying it greatly.
