Blu ray restoration is good.picture and sound clarity is noticeable.madmax is still remembered for its originality and execution.melgibson early days a genre which still garners applause and remakes already made .then as they say original stands out.amaZon delights.

Love this movie and have to say I never seen it look or sound so good. If you haven't bought a movie form Shout Factory (or it's Sci-fi, Horror, and Exploitation film company Scream Factory) let me tell you from the many Blu-Ray's I bought from them that their products are top notch. They take great care in delivering high quality DVDs and Blu-Rays for many TV shows and movies you can't get anywhere else or in the case of Mad Max with the kind of care they put in to their products. As mentioned before the picture and sound quality are outstanding, not to mention the new cover art looks amazing. It is a little on the light side when it comes to extras but then again this was low budget movie from 1979. Even so, what they do have is pretty good. Over all I have to say if your a fan of the Mad Max series this is a great buy and if your having trouble finding a movie or TV show I suggest you check out what else Shout Factory has to offer. You might just find that one you were looking for or if your lucky the one you forgot all about. Now as for the film it's self, Mad Max takes place in a world barely holding on to civilization as roaming gangs are wreaking havoc on the roads. the young Max Rockatansky (Awesome name) is a patrol car policeman trying to take down these gangs. now without giving to much of the plot away I should say again this movie is from 1979 so it's not a fast burning movie. Not to say it doesn't have action, in fact there are some of the craziest stunts I've ever seen in this movie, including one where a guy goes flying off a bike that's just crazy. But after the beginning chase it slows down a bit which is made more obvious with the fact there is little in terms of a score but over all it's a great flick. Another thing is unlike the other Mad Max movies this is a revenge film which were popular in the 70's where as the next films are more about redemption. So if all that sounds good to you (it does to me) I highly recommend you give it a watch if only to see where Max Rockatansky's journey all started and how he became the man that can survive in the apocalypse.

One of the best Australian films ever, very raw film-making/Directing by George miller for sure even thou it's Mel Gibson first film it's still Great acting performance aswell as Actors Steve Bisley-Jim Goose, Hugh keys byrne who plays Head Gang member Toecutter Actor Tin Burns-Johnny the boy, Actor Vince Gill who played the Demented Night rider and Actress Joanne samuel-Jessie, Max's wife in the film all these actors had originally come from NIDA National institute Drama Art school the best Dramatic acting school in Australia not to mention George miller's Directing, and David Eggby's cinematography and the incredible haunting music score by Aus composer Brian may, not Queen Guitarist Brian may plus all the stunts in the film, very convincing stunts, car chases all that is really done in the film, no CGI, no camera tricks what you see on the film was caught on camera, no camera tricks all done for real the first blu-ray release by MGM had no extras at all, just barebones so as a fan that was an insult i didn't waste my money Scream/shout factory got the rights to the MGM DVD release and finally released the respectable version i have no regrets buying this new blu-ray reissue the new High definition transfer looks fantastic, very clear & sharp picture quality in 2:35:1 widescreen shout factory really made the effort with the transfer for sure better quality than the old MGM dvd plus scream/shout factory made the smart Decision to carry over both the Australian & American Dialogue soundtracks to this blu-ray from the MGM DVD version i've heard some scenes with the American Dubbed accents, it's terrible it really does wreck the film so of course i switched to the new Australian 5.1 Master audio mix and the sound quality is incredible sounds Great through my surround sound system there's also an AUS Master audio stereo mix added if you prefer to listen to the stereo mix instead i believe all fans will want to watch the film with the Australian Dialogue, not the Thought was best option American Dubbed version scream/shout factory also made an effort to add new special features something that MGM would never do MGM would just recycle the old dvd extras a new 29mins retrospective featurette with Mel Gibson, Actress Joanne samuel & Cinematograher David eggby who all give recollections acting on Mad max Actress Joanne samuel who plays Max's wife in the film Jessie talks about how she got the acting part, her experience acting with Mel, and Hugh keays-byrne working with George miller etc David eggby recalls shooting the scenes with George miller, gives some interesting behind the scenes stories and so does Mel Gibson of course Definitely an interesting 29min featurette plus all the special features from the old DVD release have been carried over MAD MAX THE FILM PHENOMENON, a 40min retrospective with interviews with Director of photography David eggby, special effects artist Chris murray & Tim ridge and Art director Jon Dowding MAD MAX-THE BIRTH OF A SUPERSTAR which is a documentary about Mel Gibson himself and how he became famous from his role in Mad max plus the Audio commentary from the MGM DVD release has been added to you also get still Photo Gallery, Theatrical trailer there's reversible artwork cover like all scream/shout factory blu-ray's, so if you don't like the new 2015 artwork just switch it around for all the original Theatrical poster artwork worth the money for sure, this blu-ray is region A locked so Mad max fans outside the U.S. will need ALL REGIONS player Definitely time to upgrade get this new shout/scream factory blu-ray, not the old MGM blu-ray 5 stars for the film, 5 stars for this blu-ray
