1 good news and 2 bad news.......2007-09-02
I was delighted when i saw this movie available in HD and i rushed to buy it.Yes the madmax "icon" is still alive since 1982 but the movie has difficult to live well today.
The good news is about the picture quality which is very good withy no grain.
Despite what you may think about typical Mad Max actions scenes the movie is boring for 2 reasons
a) there is nearly no dialog and instead of this there is a permanent horrible music with trumpets and brass instruments who try to give the rythm in the movie.This kills everything.
b) the audio is realy under average. don't expect to hear the engines roaring and the explosion to blow yr living room.
So my opinion is at least rent it before to buy it
In the opposite and maybe in the same category "Waterworld" in HD DVd is something totaling amazing at all levels.
HD DVD delivers.......2007-07-17
I won't go into the movie itself, since everyone has seen it by now and knows it is a classic. This HD disc is great though, for a movie of this budget and age. There are a few short segments that look soft, but overall this disc has spectacular razor sharp HD, and I never thought Mad Max 2 could ever look this great. Seriously, some of these scenes are some of the best I've seen from my HD-A2.
Now for the not-so-good. Sound is adequate, but it won't knock anyone's socks off. The disc is absolutely bare bones. But if you gotta have this movie in HD, I doubt you would be disappointed.
The classic post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller.......2007-07-05
Sequel to the earlier Mad Max movie, The Road Warrior is a blast of fun and looks great on HD DVD.
I hadn't seen this in years but picked up the HD DVD right away, and it sure looks good. A very fun movie with the classic anti-hero hero Max and, of course, the great chase scene at the climax.
I seem to recall that the third movie, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was a bloated bust of a sequel, but that hasn't been released on HD DVD yet...
The best it's going to get for Mad Max fans.......2007-06-13
I'm rating this 5-stars not because it's the best look HD-DVD ever, but because I believe this is certainly the best presentation of Road Warrior that's ever been released, or will ever likely be released. It's a keeper.
I remember seeing this movie in the theater. I don't think even the film as shown in the theater contained this much detail, as I noticed details in the movie that I had not seen before. It's a excellent picture.
The sound is good, but nothing like blockbuster movies from recent years, because Road Warrior was made several years ago, and not exactly on a huge budget. Still, it's the best sound quality you're likely to hear for this movie.
Some purists may enjoy the fact that the movie is shown with the title "Mad Max 2" rather than "The Road Warrior" at the beginning, but I don't like it. When I saw the movie in the theater it said "The Road Warrior", and had a bright shining metal effect. I wanted to see THAT, not something that was originally shown in Austrailia. However, I'm not going to get all misty over it and lower the star rating.
If you have Road Warrior on DVD or LaserDisc this is one title that you should absolutely buy the replacement HD-DVD. It makes a big difference.
Finally!.......2007-05-19
I'm saying "finally" because we've finally received a version of the Road Warrior that looks outstanding! The picture looks the best I've ever seen and while the sound isn't as great in terms of bass reproduction, it still sounds very clear, just a tiny bit lackluster. Several of the scenes have a bit of softness to them probably due to age but I'd say about 95% of the film looks crystal clear. There aren't many extras other than an introduction by film critic Leonard Maltin and a filmmaker commentary. A bit lacking in the extras department but the commentary is informative enough for film enthusiasts and fans of the film. It'd be nice to get a retrospective documentary one day on this classic.
At the end of the day, the movie is delivered in an above average presentation and definitely worth a peek in HD.

Impressive transfer.......2007-08-03
I have always been a fan of this and the original Mad Max movies. I was pleasently suprised with the quality of the transfer to Blu-ray fo rsuch an old movie. It had it's poor quality moments, but they were far out-weighed by the quality cheesey-ness of the films story. Loved it!
Great Movie - Great Transfer to HD.......2007-07-19
So most people are already familiar with the story. It is basically a post apocalyptic view of the world where society has completely broken down. For action movies, this is a classic film. However, we have not seen The Road Warrior in anything more that 480p since its original theatrical release. I will say right now - this Blu-Ray disk does the movie justice. The transfer is fantastic in both audio and video. When the camera is low to the pavement at 100mph, you can see the texture in the road. You can see the nasty, stringy hair on top Lord Humongous. When Max busts open the shotgun shell, you can see the individual grains of powder. This is a fantastic transfer of an action classic.
"The Last of the V8 Interceptors".......2007-07-19
Since I was a kid I loved this movie, the best villains (Lord Humungus), coolest car chase scenes ever, and the movie is down right raw... And now on Blu-Ray, things couldn't be better. Except for some more extra features and stuff, but all in all, 2 thumbs up.
An action classic in its full glory.......2007-07-06
The Road Warrior is a classic action film and the movie that first demonstrated what a star Mel Gibson would soon be. Filmed in Australia by George Miller, this sequel to their original film, Mad Max, is a post-apocalyptic demolition derby. It was created before the dawn of CGI, and all of it's stunts are for real, and breathtaking; particularly a stunt where one of the road predators is thrown end-over-end out of his crashed vehicle.
The Blu-ray version of the movie is brilliant, the film probably never looked as good in it's initial theatrical run. There is no comparison between the Blu-ray and DVD images. The colors and detail in this HD presentation are spectacular. There are moments in the film where the focus is somewhat soft on the edges, but I suspect this is a flaw in the principal photography and not the new transfer. The night time scenes in the middle of the film weren't a solid black, but had a little noise which I again attribute to the original negative, considering how good the rest of the film looks.
I definitely recomend this Blu-ray for any action movie fans and fans of this film series.

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

Unique and Marvelous. .......2007-08-16
I first saw this movie over 20 years ago and didn't like it because I didn't like any of the characters. Flashforward two decades and I now like at least six of them. That tells you the way time builds human understanding. As a kid I assumed that the world was a good place, but now I know it to be equal parts good and evil. Few films showcase this eventuality more artfully and powerfully than the Road Warrior. This is an amazing production and I truly envy you if you've never seen it before.
The Road Warrior is both entertaining and deeply enlightening. There is more truth in its portrayal of human nature than a million self-help books and a hundred Hollywood movies. Civilization's veneer is thin. Without police and a government we would revert to shameful behaviors and attempt to survive by any means necessary. Max and the Gyro Captain are great but I still think that the feral boy character steals the spotlight from everyone else. The movie also tells us much about the nature of friendship along with the way we quickly bond with others in times of need. If you haven't seen it please do.
WOW.......2007-08-12
So it is the future and gasoline is like gold. Well this is obviously dated because when I fill up now I feel like I am paying a gold bar for a tank. Besides that, most of the places now do not allow you to pump and then pay, because so many people are stealing from the pumps. They call these "Driveoffs" and we need a guy like the one Gibson plays in this movie to chase them down!
The nice thing is in this movie is that on these roads you do not have to worry about a speed limit. So yeah, sorry peoples but the radar detector you just got would be worthless in this film.
The part that is not realistic is of course the roads themselves. C'mon peoples everywhere you go they are always having detours due to construction and road repair, in reality if this kind of thing played out, you would get a flat tire from all the potholes and debris that would fill up on the road over time. I mean really where are the streetsweepers? You have to be realistic even in a Science Fiction environment, but hey no problem, it is still good.
A fight to the death for gasoline.......2007-08-09
The second film of the trilogy is getting off the banality of the first one with its rape, infanticide and vengeance. Here we get to a world that is a real war to the death of one tribe against another and there is no law anywhere close. It is war for survival hence for the only thing that has some value in this desertic world where you can only move safely in motor vehicles, hence with gas. A fight for a tanker of gas, that's what the stake is. Mad Max gets on the side that controls the tanker in order to get gas for his car and he manages to serve them in a way and be accepted, though he tries to go away on his own when the service is finished. But he gets wrecked and has to be brought back by some accessory to the action who has some kind of unidentifiable flying object, some kind of ancestor of the chopper. So he will be the hero of the essential part of the film, the chase after the tanker. We will follow it with anxiety especially since a tanker like that is a bomb on wheels. The successive attacks against the tanker will be creative and some people will die on both sides and the driver will be seriously endangered by the attackers, to the point that he will not be able to avoid the final crash. And surprise, surprise, the tanker will not explode. The good old valueless gas had been transferred to the school bus in which the women were traveling. But the wreck of the tanker will incite the attackers, or what's left of them, to go away. Strangely enough they will not verify the content of the tanker and will not be able to think that the gas was somewhere else: these attackers are barbarians somewhere, hence they are intellectually retarded. And the final leg of the migration to safety could start and Mad Max could disappear in a mirage in the desert like some sand on a wind. Entertaining but in no way too intellectual: you will not get any nightmares nor headaches. Just funny after all. But that kind of chase will be imitated galore in the coming years after 1981. And that's probably one reason why it became cult: it was one of the very first films to work on the technique of shooting and editing such a chase.

Can you say "Peak Oil" boys and girls?.......2007-08-01
Hehehe I knew you could;-) Mad Max, when it came out in the states was seen as a post-nuclear war vision. One where the US and Russia wipe each other out, but the rest of the world just faces the economic collapse that the two superpowers war causes. The Australian perspective was more to do with the energy crunch of the Opec embargo, one that hit Australia very hard. Mad Max is more of a 'peak oil' series than a 'post nuclear' series.
And we are facing the beginnings of that dark future now. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow. Once the fuel prices spike high and stay that way, the panic it will cause will alone be enough to disrupt, possibly destroy civilization.
This is a movie that we should put back in theaters. Like the budget theaters that some cities/towns have. People will come for the action and Mel Gibson, then they'll remember the beginning and the end of this movie, the narrative.
The Road Warrior.......2007-07-10
Technically a sequel to Australian director George Miller's "Mad Max," this gripping, hyperkinetic sci-fi action film not only stands on its own, but actually throttles past its predecessor. Gibson, reprising his role as Max, is all nerve and bone as the rugged, laconic loner, and his visceral performance has star power written all over it. In supporting roles, Emil Minty is touching as Max's feral-child sidekick, while Kjell Nilsson is unforgettably fearsome as tribal leader Humungus. Miller's "Road Warrior" is one long adrenaline rush, epitomized in the climactic scene involving a band of crazed villains pursuing an oil tanker at breakneck speed.

A good collection, don't know what everyone's griping about..........2007-07-13
I've always been a fan of the Mad Max movies, but never got to see "The Road Warrior" until I found this DVD. It was only $9.99 at Kmart, and I figured, "2 movies on 1 DVD for 10 bucks, including the one MAD MAX movie I've never seen, sounds great!" So I bought it, watched it, and loved it!
Alot of people are complaining about the DVDs Full Screen aspect ratio, lack of special features, and poor picture quality... I have to say, I don't know what everyone's talking about... I can't stand Wide Screen (16:9) format, looks like you're squinting all the time! I'll admit, "The Road Warrior" didn't have many special features, but "Beyond Thunder Dome" had plenty. As for the DVDs picture quality, it looks fine. Although "Road Warrior" looked a little fuzzy, it was definitely better than anything I've ever taped off of TV.
I don't regret buying this DVD, and I'm happy with it.
I got 2 great movies on 1 disc for cheap, so I've got nothing to complain about.
If you're like me, and just want to watch MAD MAX 2 & 3 at home on your DVD player, then buy this DVD.
If you're a cinema junky who's obcessed with dual aspect ratios and loads of special features, then you're better off buying each movie separately.
anoid.......2007-07-08
These movies contain subtitles whether you want them or not I found this terrably distracting considering these movies are in english already. I cannot recomend this double feature. If other versions don't have the subtitles I'd go with that.
POINTLESS.......2007-05-26
FULL SCREEN?? Upon waiting and waiting for rerelease of The Road Warrior only to find it an even lesser format is quite a disappointment. Especially having paid for something I would have never wasted the money on if not being MISLED by the product information.
I can only hope someday Warner Bros. will do justice with a decent DVD release of the only worthy & brilliant follow up to Mad Max.
Absolute Rubbish! Do not buy........2007-05-24
Despite what the Product Details state, both movies are in Full Screen only, what a waste. (Unless you like Full Screen, then you're welcome to it). These movies have a solid audience, why can't Warner Bros. realise this and put out a decent version on DVD? The movies on this disc don't look much better than the ones I taped off television... a decade ago. I would send mine back, but I'd already opened it before I discovered what a ripoof this was. Had the Format been accurately stated, I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place. Very disappointing.
A FULL SCREEN rip-off.......2007-05-24
There's no excuse for these two films to be full screen only. Even at under $10 bucks it's a major rip-off. A resounding boooooooo to Warner Bros. for this botched double-feature.

Excellent Review Of The Most Dominating Tag team Ever.......2007-09-04
I could care less about wrestling now, but in the 1980's & early 90's professional wrestling was a lot of fun with many memorable characters and matches. At the top of the tag team food chain were the seemingly unbeatable Road Warriors. With their painted faces, street fighting tactics and spiked shoulder pads, the Legion Of Doom were a sight to behold. The fact that they revolutionized pro wrestling is redundant now but delve into this extraordinary trip through time to find out how they did it.I just finished watching this excellent 2 disc set on the legendary Road Warriors, Animal & Hawk and i have to say it is essential viewing for wrestling fans of the 80's & early 90's. The disc 1 documentary gives us a real, behind the scenes look at this awesome team. It chronicles the training, formation of and subsequent explosion of the Road Warriors onto the wrestling scene in 1983, forever changing the world of professional wrestling. They would eventually storm their way to all 3 major tag team titles (NWA, AWA & WWF), and have many memorable feuds with the likes of The Fabulous Freebirds, Midnight Express, The Koloffs, Four Horseman & Demolition. The falling out of the Road Warriors while at the very top of their profession was surprising to learn and will pique the interest of anybody who deemed this duo inseparable. Their subsequent reformation and return to action 4 years later was triumphant but too soon touched by tragedy with the sudden passing of Hawk. The disc 1 documentary is a thoroughly absorbing overview of The Road Warriors/ Legion Of Doom. The remainder of disc 1 and all of disc 2 contains many of their most memorable matches including the bloody Superclash AWA tag team title match vs. The Fabulous Freebirds, the Koloff Russian Chain Match at The Great American Bash 86, The famous Skywalkers scaffold match vs. The Midnight Express at Starrcade 86 and the bulldozing of The Nasty Boys at Summerslam 91 to capture the WWF gold. Some important matches are overlooked, such as the Ultimate Warrior team up against the 3 members of Demolition (instead we get a quickie count out match with the inferior version of Demolition, Smash and Crush) and the subject of why the Road Warriors never battled the original, superior version of Demolition, Ax & Smash, in a dream match is never discussed. Also missing is the infamous blinding of Dusty Rhoads with Animal's shoulder spike but that's about it. The WWE did a fantastic job with this dvd release and i highly recommend it for fans of the golden age of wrestling, a fitting tribute to the most dominating tag team of all time.
The Road Warriors Were the BEST.......2007-04-20
Great DVD for any true Road Warriors fan. I remember watching some of the matches on the DVD as a kid. I thought I'd never get to see those again. The nostalgia and background info on the Warriors makes this a must have.
What a DVD!.......2006-11-24
I was a Road Warrior fan back when they were in the AWA. In fact I have an original VHS tape they released of them when they were in the AWA. SO to see this coming out was great. The documentary was almost tear jerking in the end and the extras are awesome. They have matches from Georgia Championship Wrestling, NWA, AWA, Japan, WCW, and the WWF/WWE. I loved it and I would recommend it.
WHAT A RUSH!!!.......2006-07-10
If you only know the Legion Of Doom as the team of Heidenrich & Animal...then you really need to peep this one because the ORIGINAL Road Warriors are one of the greatest tag teams of all time. In a time where promotions were based around single wrestlers, they became the attraction people wanted & payed to see. Roadwarrior Hawk, Roadwarrior Animal, and manager Precious Paul Ellering...the Road Warriors.
The documentry starts with stories of Hawk & Animal growing up & working out at the gym which lead to them being trained as wrestlers. The evolution of their look & characters are discussed along with their relationship with manager Paul Ellering. Their stints in both Georgia Championship Wrestling and the AWA including fueds with famous teams like The Crusher & Baron Von Raschke, Fabolous Freebirds, Midnight Express, Four Horsemen, and the Koloffs are looked at in detail along with funny stories about Dick The Brusier & The Crusher and the Fabolous Ones. Their first run in the WWE goes over the fued with Demolition and if they were Road Warrior imitatiors & their historic SummerSlam '91 match. But just like everything in life, all good things must come to an end and that's where this documentry starts to go downhill as Hawk's problems & actions outside the ring led to the breakup of the Road Warriors, a brief discussion of the Japanese version of the Road Warriors, and their return to WCW that didn't work out well. Returning to WWE as L.O.D. 2000, the entire storyline involving Droz, and the death of Roadwarrior Hawk round out this documentry.
DVD extras are spread amongst two disc as various interviews, 3 Confidental pieces, additional comments from Michael Hayes & Paul Ellering, and the old school Road Warriors music video are here in addition to various matches from their career. In addition to three "squash" matches (including one featuring a young Arn Anderson) where they just destroyed their opponetts are matches with alternative commentary with Jim Ross & Animal facing wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan & Tenryn, Bisco Brothers, Magnum T.A. & Ronnie Garvin in the Crockett Cup finals, and their AWA title win against Baron Von Raschke & The Crusher. Larry & Curt "Mr. Perfect" Henning, Fabolous Freebirds, the Koloffs in a chain match, two matches featuring the Midnight Express (including the Starrcade Scaffold match), Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, Demolition, their SummerSlam '91 title victory against Nasty Boys, Hart Foundation, Money Inc., Sting & Lex Luger, and their final tag team title victory against Godwinns round out the additional matches on this DVD set.
Bottom line is that if you are a fan of tag team wrestling & classic "old school" footage then this DVD is a necessity.
Wrestling Must Have!.......2006-04-25
This DVD is another example of how the WWF (not WWE!) is bring back classic wrestling to long time fans. This DVD chronicals the history of the Road Warriors from their beginnings to end. It is great to see the real inside information on the team straight from Animal, Paul Ellering and others close to them. A great DVD! The only thing I would have like to see more of is the TBS interviews and the time they jumped Dusty Rhoades and put the spike in his eye.

Product Description
The Road Warrior DVD new----------------------------In the annals of action movies few can compare with The Road Warrior, a full-throttle epic of speed and carnage that rockets you into a dreamlike landscape where the postnuclear future meets the mythological past. More simple, its also one of the most mind-blowing stunt movies ever made. Before he took aim in three Lethal Weapons and started in 1994's Maverick, Mel Gibson had already made his mark on movie history as Max, the heroic loner who drives the roads of outback. Australia in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defenders of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by The Humungus, notorious for never taking prisoners when they can pulverize them instead. When the battle is joined, the results are savage, spectacular and " a smashing good time at the movies" (Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times). With The Road Warrior on your side, screen action doesn't get any better.Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome DVD new---------------------------------------Special features:- Interective Menus, Production Notes, Theatrical Trailer, Scene Access
