"They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well, damn them! You and me, Max, we're gonna give 'em back their heroes!" Those empty words come from the chief of police (Roger Ward) to his top dog on the force. Mad Max, read as a fairy ...read the complete Mad Max movie review at filmcritic.com (Jeremiah Kipp)

Roadshow have done an excellent job at bringing this film to DVD in the best way possible with outstanding video and audio packages. Sadly no strings were pulled to find the extras available on an overseas version, so there are a couple of tough ...read the complete Mad Max movie review at DVDActive (Pete Roberts)

F**k me, this was a great movie!! Not sure when the last time was that I had seen it (or if I'd ever seen it!), but I just watched it on DVD tonite and kicked my arse all over the place!!
Some of the best car/bike chases that I've ever seen! Very ...read the complete Mad Max movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")

In many ways, plot of MAD MAX looks like a combination of vigilante cop thriller and Bwestern. Many also argued that mild futuristic motives serve only as an excuse for hour and half of brutal nonstop violence. On the other hand, even those critics that ...read the complete Mad Max movie review at IMDB.com

Rounding out the special features are four TV spots, a promo trailer for MGM's superior Terminator special edition, and an international poster gallery (one of which featuring the only mention of the "If you like The Road Warrior..." campaign).

At-A-Glance Film Reviews
This early Mel Gibson film from Australia is a cult favorite, but I fail to see a rational reason why. For the first half of the film, Mel Gibson and family run around empty highways in a (presumably) post-apocalyptic world, crossing paths with street ...read the complete Mad Max movie review at At-A-Glance Film Reviews

I love it when you ship your stuff quick and it's not broken. That's all i ask for and usually get it. Thanks for your speedy ...

The Mad Max film threaded the needle for the successful Road Warrior film. Mad Max is just as good as the Road Warrior. Mad Max takes place in a time prior to the Road Warrior. In the Mad Max film, Max ... (played by Mel Gibson), loses his family and his ...

Personally I loved Mad Max. To me and more than a few of my friends who were into bikes back then (79 to 85) Mad max along with Quadrophenia made us feel like we were badguys (hey we were young). After watching Max and co young bikers across the UK ...

Saw this movie many years ago and decided it needed to join my collection. Despite the assless chaps and flagrant homo-erotcism it is still a fun to watch movie with lots of action. Its a snapshot of a different time and place in movie making a glance ...

by Geary A., Jones on January 25, 2009
Gibson, in this film, did for apocalypse movies, what Eastwood did for westerns, and gave us an antihero of epic nihilism, extreme violence, and borderline humanity. I still don't understand why MGM had to put out a dubbed version for the theaters in the ...
by Kenneth Marbury on December 06, 2008
April 12, 2009 will mark the 30th anniversary of the Australian release of this film, which was later released in the US during the summer of 1980. Being nine years wiser since my original review posting to this website, I still can't understand why ...

Mad Max is one of the best post-apocolyptic films of all time, exceeded only by a few films, including it's own sequel (The Road Warrior or Mad Max 2, depending on where you're from). Full of great stunts and plenty of action, this film influences to ...
