Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

tankace Having reviewed already the later installment of the Mad Max series it is high time to review the original trilogy of this cult series that has left such an impact to our global culture. The first of them was Mad Max of 1979 a film that also, was among many other of the late seventies that brought the Australian cinema to the spotlight.For starter the film had, for twenty years in the role ,the highest box office to budget ratio and was award multiple awards for its effects, directing and in general its style as a whole. Even nowadays people modify their cars in order to be like them ones of the film. What also is a fun fact about that film it that the majority of the stunt doubles and drivers of the vehicles ,they were paid for the labor with beer. No, for real I didn't make this up the pay many of them with some dollars and a six-pack! Granted it doesn't sound such a bad of an idea.All these fun facts end to one single fact about the directorial debut of George Miller and Mel Gibson. It was really low budget, to be precise the film cost 350 to 400 thousand Australian dollar which was roughly around 180000 to 200000 us dollars, so the crew was forced to be crafty. One of the methods they used to save on the budget was to call real motor gangs for the shooting for the criminals of the film (don't wary the real-life motorcyclist aren't psychos), directing everywhere they could without gaining first permission in order to not to pay for the needed permit, the so called guerrilla film-making . And the crazy part is that the Victoria Police actually found them out and intend of arresting them they help them by closing roads for them to do their work with out any third person been put in danger.But for me it isn't a perfect film for it is often corny and over the top. Some stunts are quit obviously faked, although the ones they real happen are quit cool. And my last negative is that the post-apocalypse part isn't so big in the film even though so many films of this genre have took inspiration of it.All in all if you like it, good for you ,if you didn't like then at least respect it for its legacy and as for the action and dystopia part, the next installment was way more in to that.

slightlymad22 It is easy to forget, not that long ago Gibson was one of the kings of Hollywood.  He was so loved that even if he made a poor movie, his hoards of fans always came out in force, and it wouldn't flop. Then came the meltdowns. His fans and seemingly most of his friends deserted him (a few publicly said positive things about him) Hollywood blackballed him, and his career was seemingly over as many casual movie fans can't look at the man anymore without seeing a totally vile, despicable human being. Yet somehow, he could be looking an Oscar nomination for best director soon. So I thought I would look back at Mel Gibson's roller-coaster career. Starting with Mad Max Plot In A Paragraph: As society crumbles around him, a vengeful police officer (Gibson) attempts to stop a vicious motorcycle gang.I outright do not like this movie, I love the final scene, and the preceding 20 minutes are OK, but getting there is not worth the effort. Watching this now, I never would have believed Gibson would grow old in the business.

Eddie Cantillo Mad Max(1979) Starring: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Roger Ward, Vincent Gil, Geoff Parry, Jonathan Hardy, Reg Evans, Lisa Aldenhoven, Gil Tucker, Sheila Florance, David Cameron, and Christine Kaman Directed By: George Miller Review The Maximum Force Of The Future Everyone has been watching the old Mad Max films to watch the new one in the series that is out in theaters. I've great things about all four movies. But this first entire it was. it was, it was, boring! In a dystopic future Australia, a vicious biker gang murder a cop's family and make his fight with them personal. The film opens with a car chase where we get introduced to Max who takes down this psychopath who calls himself the Knight Rider. The rest of the Knight Rider clan show up to take their revenge. Their were a lot of good stuff in this film, the acting is pretty good, the score is amazing, and the action is pretty okay. I was expecting something simplistic and grander then what I got. I believe it should of been like Punisher where you see his family get axed in the beginning or maybe they have that opening sequence but instead that knight rider from the beginning kills his wife and son and then the rest of the knight riders show up to take their revenge. I don't know I like a lot of things about this movie as I've stated but after that opening sequence I just felt bored. Until then the knight riders showed up and terrorized a couple, then they killed Maxes family and he takes revenge. Mad Max is a pretty fine start but the lack of action that flows with the story just made me feel bored and want take my pillow. I'm giving Mad Max a two and a half out of five.
