Synopsis: Setting Mel Gibson on a sure path to superstardom, this highly acclaimed "crazy collide-o-scope"(Newsweek) of highway mayhem "cinematically defined the postapocalyptic landscape" (TV Guide). Featuring eye-popping stunts that are "electrifying and very convincing" (Variety) and "an authentically nihilistic spirit" (The Village Voice), Mad Max is "pure cinematic poetry" (Time). In the ravaged near future, a savage motorcycle gang rules the road. Terrorizing innocent civilians while tearing up the streets, the ruthless gang laughs in the face of a police force hell-bent on stopping them. But they underestimate one officer: Max Rockatansky (Gibson). And when the bikers brutalize Max's best friend and family, they send him into a mad frenzy that leaves him with only one thing left in the world to live for revenge!

Review: Mad Max is maybe one of the top cult classics of all-time!  Its the movie that jarred Mel Gibson into the spotlight and made post-apocalyptic action films a staple in cinema!  The Book of Eli has nothing on Mad Max!   

I was nervous about seeing this one on blu-ray.  It comes packed with the DVD, so I couldn't lose, but so many transfers are left lacking and this film is SO very old now.  To my pleasure and slight surprise, it looks great!  The color balance is better and the details is WAY improved.  You can read a lot of the signs and backround items you could never make out on the DVD or VHS.  I never realized how fuzzy some things were until they were brought into focus!

Mad Max is a great film.  Its probably already one of your favorites.  You can buy this edition with confidence!
