This package is tremendous value for money. The films themselves are basically a redemption cycle.We are introduced to Max in the first film as a family man who fears that as a law enforcement officer he is in danger of crossing a line and becoming just like those who are terrorising the highways. When asked why he's thinking of resigning to reply is " I'm starting to enjoy it". In the course of the film we learn that society is breaking down as no one cares any more and when Max's wife and child are killed it drives him to vengeance. People often call this an exploitation film, but rather interestingly does raise a major question. When there is no law what might a moral man to do? There's an economy to the way this film is made (quite literally it cost about half $1 million) but it delivers a simple but well told story with believable characters and some fantastic action sequences.The second film picks up about 2 1/2 years later after a nuclear war and the introduction tells us that Max is 'a burnt out shell of a man'. It continues the premise of the first films with the gangs terrorising any and all they can find for a tankful of gas. Max falls in with a community that is trying to flee the chaos. At first he only has mercenary motives. He will help them if they supply him with much needed fuel. However, as the film continues and he's rescued by someone he formally captured for his own means, but later set free when those means had been accomplish, Max's humanity, which had been buried deep within him, partially surfaces. He helps the community escape, but he himself is not ready to fully embraces humanity and disappears into the wasteland once again. This is a great action packed story with fantastic stuntsThe third movie is often considered the weakest, but it is in some ways it is the most interesting. Max gets involved with Auntie Entity, the female dictator of Barter town. Once again it is for mercenary motives, he needs a vehicle and fuel to continue his lone existence, she needs someone discretely killed so she can maintain a ruthless grip over her subjects. However, discovering all is not as he's been told Max's humanity surfaces and he breaks his deal and is banished into the wasteland. Here he is discovered on the verge of death by a group of children who are the survivors and descendants of a plane crash who have built up 'Cargo Cult' based on the captain of an expedition that went looking for rescue returning. Mistaking Max for their saviour they beg him to take them back to civilisation. Max's humanity really surfaces as he warns that the civilisation they long for is gone. At best, or worst as Max sees it, they will be swallowed up by Barter town. Here Max starts to take responsibility for them, urging them that what they got is by far what is best for them. Max's surfacing humanity is again confirmed when he is involved in the rescue mission for those who disbelieve his claims and set out looking for civilisation. In the end we have the requisite chase sequence after he has once again crossed swords with Auntie Enmity. Max's humanity is confirmed with a selfless act that enables others to escape and him facing an uncertain, and later a solitary future! The redemption cycle is complete.These films made Mel Gibson a star and it's easy to see why. He gives the character real humanity (both good and bad) and is effortlessly charismatic even when he has minimal dialogue. Tina Turner makes an appearance in the third film and is really good value for money as the duplicitous Auntie Enmity, a nasty piece of work who may be through Max's sacrifice at the end of the film regains some humanity Excellent films which remind you what it was like before CGI ruled blockbusters! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars apocalyptic impression *by A***5 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2011* honestly, I was interested in Mad Max because I was wanted to hear a film in australian english, and this film was the only one that had come up to me fulfilling this need.that's the best part of this triple collection: for reasons unknown (to me), the first movie was dubbed in American English, and this was the version that became wider spread. In this Box, with the first film, there is also the original australian audio version included.The first and the second film are both awsome, though produced on a very low budget. Shot in New South Wales in the south-east of australia, you often don't know by instant where the story takes place.It's a very dark dystopian vision of the future, showing a tumbling-down civilisation with gangs and madmen looting the highways.Max (the young, good-looking and still unspoiled Mel Gibson), a highway police officer (which in this movie is called "Main Force Patrol") and his collegues are desperatly trying to push thru law and order. Incidently, they kill an escaped mnurderer, "the nightrider", whose friends try now to avenge his death by killing policemen. Max' s happy-go-lucky friend Goose dies, which encourages Max to quit his job. However, when going on vacation, Max's wife Jessie and his son Sprog run into the same gang, and both get killed in front of Max's eyes. He, now having lost everything dear to him, plans revenge on them. He steals a police car ("one of the last V8s") and now hunts the gang members thru the australian outback, murdering one after another brutally.Mel Gibson's performance is great, very authentic, often described as "underplaying his role" by other critics. Him playing this burned-out man seems almost terrifyingly close to reality, and he also adds depth to Max's character. That's being portraied when he gives his reason for quitting the job "I'm afraid, this violence out there, day after day, I'm beginning to enjoy it. That's no more me, and only my police badge identifies me as the good one." However, though trying to escape from it, he can't escape his destiny.The second Mad Max movie, "The Road Warrior" ist far less complex. Taking place about 3 years after the first plot, there is almost no civilisation left. The whole country is deserted, everything is destroied and burned down. There is almost no more gasoline (odd, australians don't say petrol?) left, finding (and fighting for) it is the reason of everyone's existing. Max, travelling thru the country with his strange V8-police car and his dog called "Dog" searches for fuel. It is mysterious to my what else he 's doing beside of that, maybe he distracts himself from his pain by going on busy. He runs into an autogyro pilot, who tells him of a place, a refinery where there would be tons of fuel. He takes the pilot with him, and finds the place, only discovering that a huge gang is also trying to get into the refinery. Being smart, Max succeeds and gets in there, making deal: they would give him as much fuel as he could carry, if he gets them a truck that could pull the tank trailer containing the fuel. In the end, they manage all manage to escape (after a very bad fight).The second film is less complex than the first one, but still very good. It perfectly displays this post-apocalyptic atmosphere, being so close to reality that it was giving me goose-bumples. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Dvds *by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2023* Great movies saw on the pictures --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/58333000-mad-max-trilogy-mad-max-mad-max-2-the-road](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/58333000-mad-max-trilogy-mad-max-mad-max-2-the-road) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
