 Get the Blu Ray of The Road Warrior instead!!! October 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a real shame,sure it contains both Road Warrior and its sequel Thunderdome but they are FULL SCREEN VERSIONS,the beautiful camera work cant be enjoyed to the fullest,if it were 1.85 films that might have been somewhat accepable,but these were filmed in 2.35,so you loose allmost 50% of the picture,it;s like getting half a movie!!! Would have been great if they were widescreen transfers,but no such luck here,if you got a Blu Ray player,than get the Road Warrior in that format,heck the price is not much higher than this one!!! Like I said go Blu!!!
 Great Movies, ignore some reviews... August 9, 2008
Of course it's Full Screen - it only stated it - I do not know why everyone else was surprised. The movies are absolutely great! My boyfriend recommended these (80s fan) and I was absolutely thrilled by them. Forget some of the reviews...they must have been having a bad day - it only says it's full screen and well if you've seen the movie it's a great deal to get both of the movies at a great price.

I am a fan of those 2 dvd packs. They can be purchased at attractive prices and are space saving at home, for those who like to collect films.
Mad Max 2 and 3 -both - show that a movie does not need Asian fight techniques, kick boxing and kung fu fighting to be interesting, fast and thrilling. It is a solid end time theme with no modern fight inputs and also rarely nowadays: No blood is floating through the films and you don't even miss it. I also like the modern horror and action thriller, but if you see too many of them at a time I think that the way they are made is quite enervating sometimes. That's why I think that Mad Max is a nice vacation from the usual twenty first century standards where blood spills all over, people stay in the air kicking for hours and all you can hear is the f... word. Brilliant young Mel Gibson guarantees that the spectator has a real great time. Fine!
Double Feature Release April 26, 2008
Yes, it is true Warner Bros. botched this dvd by releasing it in full screen format. The Road Warrior is a classic, and these films probably deserve the sort of attention MGM gave to Mad Max 1. I think we can all agree the studios have no friggin' clue what the fans want.
However, I bought this double feature for under ten dollars. So what if it's junk? It's under ten bucks! No skin off my back.
Also, may I be so bold to say that a part of me believes these films to be, dare I say, even better in this sloppy, scratchy full screen format. I mean, regardless of their legendary cult status, and despite my own personal love for the post-apocalypse, these are schlock films. That doesn't mean they aren't great, because they are, but perhaps they are best viewed in circumstances and formats that are less than stellar. I think of these films as zooted up B-Movies, sort of the way John Carpenter was making some of his films in the late 70's and early 80's. Or maybe even Spaghetti Westerns such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. When I bought my special editions of those great Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns, I found that they had added footage I didn't give a damn about, disrupting the flow of the film, and additional new and improved sound effects. I don't want new sound effects! I want the old sound effects. The ones that sound terrible and completely unreal with all their echoing and ricocheting sounds. That is what makes them what they are-- superbly unpolished, and vintage. I would actually hate to see them do this with the Mad Max series, though I think it may be inevitable now that I see a 4th film is in the works.
Perhaps, someday, Warner Bros. will get it right and release a decent box set collection for these films, complete with bonus features galore. Until that time, this set will do. Remember, after all, it is cheap. You pay for what you get. And that ain't bad.
