	Scifilm -- Reviews, MAD MAX (1979)
		Max even recognizes the dehumanizing effects that those roads have on people when he says, "Any longer out on that road and I'm one of them." The tragedy of this character is that he desperately tries to resist the pull the roads have on him and in the end, is powerless to do so.
		MAD MAX was the first movie produced in Australia to use widescreen and there's a good reason for it.
		MAD MAX spawned many imitators (and two sequels) but none of the pretenders to MAX's throne were able to match the raw, visceral energy of this true original.

	Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (released in the U.S. in 1981 as The Road Warrior) was director George Miller's sequel to his 1979 film Mad Max.
		Mad Max 2 was praised for its originality, visuals, costumes, revolutionary action sequences, and it helped to popularize the post-apocalyptic science fiction genre as referred to in later films and other works of fiction.
		Max Rockatansky, the former police officer and vigilante, carried out the revenge killings of the motorcycle gang that caused the death of his infant son and wife (both events are depicted in the first film), and has now become a nomadic drifter.

	THE MAD MAX STORY
		The original Mad Max motorcycle has experienced many ¼ mile passes in search of optimizing the full potential of the V-Max motorcycle at the same time maintaining all the accessories for complete street legal riding.
		The original Mad Max bike has experienced everything from a normally aspirated, chain-drive 9 second quarter mile runner, to a super-charged, fuel injected, nitrous oxide assisted pro-street monster.
		Mad Max Enterprises’ relentless pursuit of V-Max performance, has led to the development of the new Mad Max turbo system.

	Mad Max - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Max has seen too many innocents and fellow officers murdered by the bomb's savage offspring, bestial marauding bikers for whom killing, rape, and looting is a way of life.
		Despite an obviously low budget and a plot reminiscent of many spaghetti Westerns, Mad Max is tremendously exciting, thanks to some of the most spectacular road stunts ever put on film.
		Trivia buffs should note that Max's car is a 1973 Ford Falcon GT Coupe with a 300 bhp 351C V8 engine, customized with the front end of a Ford Fairmont and other modifications.

	Mad Max - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The beginning of the film only hints that the story takes place "a few years from now" but it is obviously set in a society that is suffering from a prolonged fuel shortage and a dystopic state which has resulted in a breakdown of civil order.
		Max once again dons his police outfit and takes the Pursuit Special on a mission to avenge the death of his family.
		Max's yellow Interceptor was a 1974 Ford Falcon XB sedan (previously, a Melbourne police car) with a 351C Cleveland V8 engine with many other modifications.

	OZ CINEMA.com : Reviews : Mad Max (1979)
		Just as the Australian nation originated from a haphazard blend of nationalities and cultures that found unity in their differences, Miller's work combines the most effective elements of a number of cinematic genres and visual styles in creating a raw and chaotic yet, in some way, harmonious balance to offset the film's unbalanced narrative.
		As a result of this, Mad Max took more at the box office in Australia than Star Wars (1977) and found a place in the Guinness Book of Records as having obtained the highest cost-to-profit ratio of any feature film.
		Max represents the normality within each of us that, when upset by some sharp bend in the road (or the death of his friend and family members), triggers a transformation.

	Science Fiction Movie and TV Reviews
		Max is torn between the adrenaline-laced life guarding the highways with his best friend, Goose (Bisley), and a more normal life with his wife, Jessie (Samuel) and their young son.
		Max's two worlds collide with tragic consequences when he and Goose run afoul of a particularly vicious gang led by the Toecutter (Keays-Bearne).
		When Mad Max was released in the United States, however, it was rather infamously dubbed into "American" English to get rid of the Australian slang and accents.

		Max Rockatansky is a policeman in the near future who is tired of his job and wants out, so he can spend time with his wife and baby son.
		Then Max's world is shattered as a gang led by the evil Toecutter murders his family in retaliation for the death of one of its members.
		Max's wife Jesse (Joanne Samuel) loves Max a lot and the movie clearly shows this through her performance.

	Mad Max: Special Edition (1979)
		Miller introduced Max in an especially provocative manner that kept him a mystery until the right moment; it’s a great introduction that made the first section of the film quite compelling.
		Mad Max merits a look as a groundbreaker, but I don’t think it’s held up tremendously well as a film.
		Mad Max appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 and in a fullscreen version on this DVD-14; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was a 1985 film, the second sequel to the action movie Mad Max.
		Entity recognizes Max as a resourceful (if disposable) fighter, and strikes a deal with him to provoke a duel with and kill Blaster in the "Thunderdome," a gladiatorial-esque arena where conflicts are resolved, turning what is arguably a political assassination into a lawful act.
		Max and the children free him, but alert the guards, and a frenetic chase ensues, ending at the hideout of the recurring "pilot" character.

	White Panic or, Mad Max and the Sublime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In Mad Max, apocalypse is present as a potential of the spectator's present; the film always begins 'a few years from now', in a world a little worse than the one we know, and ends, some time later, with Max en route to a world worse again.
		Mad Max is not the only film to have made me flee the cinema (at a blundering run quite unlike the lucid 'walking out' that signifies distaste), but it is easily the most memorable; the first time, I didn't make it through Jess's headlong flight through the bush.
		Max himself is a waverer, afraid of becoming one of the crazies he is meant to control – which is exactly what he needs to do.

		After the enormous success of "Mad Max" in 1979, it was predictable that a sequel would follow.
