Movie Reviews of Mad Max (Special Edition)
Movie Review: The most Ultimate Movie ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you own this movie and have this version of it, then I'm sure you haven't even checked to see if the old US dubbed version of the dialog is included, because it was awful! well if you're like me, and you love this movie dearly as I do, then you have seen it countless times and know all the dialog, well here's the catch of my review of this version, the original version! Watch it on normal until the scene in the wreaking yard then change the sound to the US dialog, it is arguably the funniest thing ever to exist, that US dubbed dialog on that scene! The voice of the grease rat yard worker makes me cry with hysterical laughter every time I hear it, and if you love this movie as much as I do, you may want to get this version for the great original sound track of dialog and even the humorous aspects of the US dub!
The Special features are great, too! Kind of a heart breaker to hear the truth behind the scenes, but it's still wicked and worth every penny,
Not to mention it's the greatest movie ever to exist and will never be dethroned!
Summary of Mad Max (Special Edition)
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 ofa 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 forrevenge!The Road Warrior is already a classic, sans condescending genre distinctions like "sci-fi" or "action." But the story of Mel Gibson's stately antihero begins in Mad Max, George Miller's low-budget debut in which Max is a "Bronze" (cop) in an unspecified postapocalyptic future with a buddy-partner and family. But unlike most films set in the devastated future, Mad Max is especially notable because it is poised between our industrialized world and total regression to medieval conditions. The scale tips towards disintegration when the Glory Riders burn into town on their bikes like an overamped cadre of Brando's Wild Ones. Representing the active chaos that will eventually overwhelm the dying vestiges of civil society, they take everything dear to Max, who will exact due revenge. His flight into the same wilds that created the villains artfully sets up the morally ambiguous character of the subsequent films. --Alan E. Rapp
