VHS Movie Reviews of Mad Max Collection (Box Set) [VHS]

Movie Review: The Road Warrior (Keepcase)
Summary: 5 Stars

Roaming the highways of post-apocalyptic Australia, years after he avenged his wife and son and his partner who were murdered by the motorcycle gang led by the evil Toecutter. Burnt out former Australian policeman Max Rockatansky, now known as "The Road Warrior" searching for sources of fuel, stumbles upon a gasoline refinery home to a community of survivors who are struggling for survival and finds the community is being terrorized by a band of brutal motorcyclists led by The Humangus and his finest warrior, Wez, who bid to loot all the gasoline from the refinery for themselves. The community hires Max, as Max agrees to help the community transport the gasoline across the highway and fight for freedom, as they are pursued by the Humangus and his warriors. This movie is a true classic as time goes on.

Movie Review: The Warrior on the ROAD IN BLUE RAY!
Summary: 3 Stars

This classic movie looks good! It is not a great transfer which may be because of the original source material 's condition, or the movie company and/or director 's decision on how best to retain the film 's quality. I love this movie and it does come across in Blue Ray as being updated well visually and the audio is rounded out in detail in hearing some slight nuances.

I would have liked to have had more in the Special Features (such as a documentary/interviews to view). But, the commentary is really insightful!

I recommend this purchase if you don 't own this movie for home viewing!

Movie Review: Excellent blu-ray transfer for a classic action flick
Summary: 4 Stars

4.2 stars

I remember seeing this with my Dad the day it came out. Then we saw it again over 20 years later in Austin's classic movie house, the Paramount, just before my old man went to the great fuel depot in the sky. I've shelved my dvd since then but I'm glad I checked out this version; it's a very fine transfer.

Not much to add to the rest of the reviews here. It's one of the great action films and has all the things that make a superior b-movie great, minus the bad. It does feel like a b-movie, in all the right ways. The next Max felt like a studio blockbuster and that killed it; this one keeps to its Ozploitation roots, to its credit and benefit.

I'd sure like to have seen a making-of doc, etc on this blu-ray version---the studios sure can be cheap. Just commentary and a weak Maltin intro? Pathetic; this film deserves a lot more, as do blu-ray buyers. But hey, times are tough for the studios: so many pirates that they're only having yet another year of record profits. So, clearly they must skimp. Wouldn't mind seeing Max take on some of them studio CEOs, actually...

Movie Review: Needs more special features
Summary: 3 Stars

Great movie, fine quality, but not much more than you would have gotten on a VHS tape. Would like to see more bonus content.

Movie Review: Classic Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This review is for the Road Warrior Blu-ray edition.
This movie is a classic, the best Mad Max movie by far. The Blu-ray transfer is very good, image quality was fine. The only thing that could be improved is that there were not many extras included in this Blu-ray.

Summary of Mad Max Collection (Box Set) [VHS]

A strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth. Like the Star Wars trilogy (by that other George) the Mad Max films draw their inspiration from the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the 1979 original, Max (Mel Gibson) is a policeman, the last guardian of civilization and order in a devastated world reduced to chaos. But when a leather-clad gang of sadomasochistic speed demons mows down Max's family, his remaining connections to humanity are also permanently severed. After brutally exacting his revenge, Max wanders off into the wasteland alone, "a burned out shell of a man" who (to paraphrase The Searchers) is destined to wander forever between the winds. In The Road Warrior, Max rediscovers a sliver of his shattered humanity, and a spark of redemption, when he helps an embattled colony of pioneers fight off the savages who are after that most precious of all commodities: "guzzline." Max is transformed into a legendary hero, just as Mel Gibson was catapulted to international movie stardom. With its final stirring images, The Road Warrior transcends its genre (whatever that may be--science fiction? Western? action adventure?) and becomes something timeless. It's a great movie. --Jim Emerson
