ReviewsNewsweek - Junky, freaky, sadistic, masochistic, MAD MAX has a perverse intelligence revving inside its pop exterior. It's a crazy collide-o-scope, a gear-stripping vision of human destiny careening toward a cosmic junkyard., Reel Views - Decades after being brought to the screen, these movies hold up well., New York Times - ...it lets the exhilarating rowdiness and visual intensity of a master moviemaker do its work, with Miller creating by his wits and rubbing sticks together to create a riveting classic.

you either like mad max films or you dont, right?
A note of caution to the purist, though: this edition features the dubbed version of MM1 with all the aussie accents re-voiced by Americans, robbing the film of some of its unique Aussie flavour. Presumably we're meant to believe the story takes place in rural USA, which then inexplicably turns into Oz for the rest of the series. (Mind you, fans of MM four may already be wondering how Imperator Furiosa got her American accent when she was born in post-nuke Australia...but maybe I'm looking too deeply...) Max himself survives the dubbing okay, sounding quite similar to Mel Gibson's own American accent. However Hugh Keyes Byrne's 'Toecutter' loses some of his eccentric edge-if i remember rightly, in the original movie he puts on a different voice for every scene, making an already idiosyncratic performance even more disconcerting. So for the full Madmax binge experience, it may be necessary to invest in the proper version. All three of these movies are of course rip-roaring, grungy fun. Personally i'd say that for sheer trashy energy the first, tiny-budget film stands up best. The colours are vivid, the stunts are reckless, and when a man sees his death, his eyes literally pop out of his head! As the budgets increase, monochrome griminess sets in, and MM2 presents a vision of a post WW3 world which is gritty, violent- and actually rather optimistic (for a race dying of radiation poisoning, everyone looks pretty energetic!) Of course its the wonderfully scuzzy design for which the Max-iverse is most famous, influencing a generation to get funny haircuts and drive around in demented custom vehicles, ultimately resulting in that remarkable feedback loop of MM4 being able to reabsorb imagery stolen from the series imitators... (see circus Archaos, '80s hippie convoy, Mutoid waste company, Tank Girl, 2000AD, burning man festival...) One caveat for the woke modern viewer: the first two films both feature fairly blase scenes of men doing bad things to women. (Its hard to describe without using words which automatically raise flags and stop this review being posted, but you know what i mean. Offensive scenes of assault.) Granted, its the villains doing it, but in what are essentially (bloodshed not withstanding) childish action films; it does grate a bit. By the time we get to the third film, however, we're firmly into cert 15 territory, and even that's only because of the swearing. Oddly, MM3: 'Thunderdome' is more like a sort of post-nuke 'Goonies' than a vision of Armageddon- violence dialled way down, none of the nasty stuff from before, and a strong female baddie in the person of Tina Turner's haughty 'Auntie Entity', foreshadowing the mighty warrior women of MM4: 'Fury road'. In summary: I recommend you all buy this box set and, like me, find yourself daydreaming about being a ferocious, haunted road warrior as you pootle off on the school run at 20mph. GO! WE GO!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Post-apocalyptic Aussie trilogy of the 1980s. Made Mel Gibson a star, and gave a platform for alternative culture.
Aussie postapocalytic trilogy from 1979-85, making Mel Gibson an action superstar, and a key plank of the Aussie new wave. The original Mad Max is a very low budget production, in which Society is on its knees, but still surviving. Ironically, this film has the best picture quality in this particular trilogy. Gibson is a top traffic cop, trying to keep on top of increasingly violent biker gangs. However, the Law itself has become a joke, and he realises he's on the edge of becoming a vigilante road warrior. Lots of car chases, filmed in a surrealist style, which requires unnatural acting, cf. David Lynch. This film introduces the series style of gender-fluid punks, oiled chests, and S&M gear; a mix between circus sideshows and a Pride march. In Mad Max 2, Gibson has become the selfish road warrior, traumatised by personal tragedy. Society has fully broken down. One band tries to keep the old values going, while working an oil rig. Outside, violent anarchists roam. Gibson forms an alliance with an autogyro pilot, bonds with a feral kid, and tries to help the oil rig band. Here, the car chases are more drawn out, the deaths are more graphic, and there is some nudity. The directing style is now only semi-surrealist, allowing some natural acting. There is a lot of experiment with film texture. Partly for this reason, it's hard to maintain a good picture. In Mad Max 3, two new societies are shown. One, a group of tribal children in an oasis, for whom the apocalypse is a religious myth, and Gibson is the prophesised saviour, who will lead them back to a vanished prewar Sydney. Very nice work by a childrens theatre group. Then, there is an Iron Age town, governed by Tina Turner in a skin bikini. Here, only those with goods or skills survive. Those who don't entertain the citizens with various amusing deaths, including gladiatorial combat in The Thunderdome. Directed with more naturalistic acting, though still retaining a rainbow coalition style in clothing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
