Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
The story of Mel Gibson's stately anti-hero begins in Mad Max, George Miller's low-budget debut, in which Max is a "Bronze" (cop) in an unspecified post-apocalyptic future with a buddy-partner and family. But, unlike most films set in the devastated future, Mad Max is notable because it is poised between our industrialised world and total regression to medieval conditions. The scale tips towards disintegration when the Glory Riders burn into town on their bikes like an overcharged cadre of Brando's Wild Ones. Representing the active chaos that will eventually overwhelm the dying vestiges of civil society they take everything dear to Max, who then has to exact due revenge. His flight into the same wilds that created the villains artfully sets up the morally ambiguous character of the subsequent films. --Alan E Rapp, Amazon.com

- High speed road movie that changed cinema
High speed chases, open endless roads and nomad bikers in a post-apocalyptic vision of the future. Mel Gibson is Max, a police/highway patrolman who is determined to live his life clean and rid the roads of the scum that terrorise them. Events transpire that catapult him into another world, another outlook and new way of doing his job. A great film that looks as good as it sounds. Still modern and still plenty to admire. The film 'Saw' has a lot to thank this film for..!

- Road Kill
This is a very slow movie which seems like the script wasnt quite finished..maby i need to see the trilogy to appreciate it..but i was not impressed not very mad I say. Plot holes were left right and centre but hey what can you do eh?..oh and i suggest before you watch it you take off the american dubbing and have the original australian. I think that helped spoil it for me.Sorri for the sour milk people but i gotta tell it like it is! One
Rating: - The Last Law in a World Gone Out Of Control!!!
All I can say about this cult classic is buy it as it's one of the best road movie\apocalyptic science fiction movies you will ever see and is a must in any DVD collection. Here's hoping the prequel will be just as good, fingers crossed.

- Superbly simple
Mad Max 2 is the better film, for sure: it's bigger, grislier, and more exciting. But the original is very good not just because it explains why Max is perturbed, but because it does so without compromising his character's silent and innate masculinity - which is some feat considering the amount of skin-tight leather on show.
Max himself - skilfully underplayed by Mel Gibson - is at the heart of all the main narrative turns. It's he who kills the Nightrider; his best friend who's murdered ... Read More
Rating: - That's when a myth started of a crazy rider
The first film of the Mad Max trilogy is not a great film at all. But it is the birth certificate of a cult character, Mad Max himself. A simple film about crazy bikers on Australian roads where they think they can do what they want. Against them a special unit of cops who are supposed to chase them and get them off the road. It is then a real war between the two clans, the hooligans and the law. Till one day Max decides to retire and go away with his wife and child to some peaceful country ranch. But if ... Read More
