Mad Max is one of my favorite movies, the acting, the plot, the script, the effects for that time were excellent. With no doubt, the movie that inspired this genre, specially for it's low budget.

The Mad Max film threaded the needle for the successful Road Warrior film. Mad Max is just as good as the Road Warrior. Mad Max takes place in a time prior to the Road Warrior. In the Mad Max film, Max ... (played by Mel Gibson), loses his family and his police partner (the Goose), which turns him into a man full of hidden feelings.
I highly recommend seeing this movie, since it preps your mind for watching the Road Warrior. (kind of like watching part one and part two of something)
It was the Mad Max film that gave birth to Max's black Ford Falcon with the blower sticking out of the hood. This Ford Falcon makes it into the Road Warrior film also.
Awesome movie.

In a post-apocalyptic Australia, Max (Mel Gibson) and his fellow officers try to keep order on the highways as nihilistic biker gangs grow ever bolder. We are given the definite impression that the final bastions of civilization are on their last legs as chaos encroaches.
This film presents intriguing characters and a suitably bleak scenario. It starts strong, but it loses its energy before the end. Perhaps I was spoiled by seeing the classic action sequel "The Road Warrior" first. When Max goes mad at the end of this first film, director George Miller doesn't set the action sequences up very well or provide much of a payoff. The most exciting set pieces actually come much earlier in the movie. However, his next film will prove that he can be a master of action.

Personally I loved Mad Max. To me and more than a few of my friends who were into bikes back then (79 to 85) Mad max along with Quadrophenia made us feel like we were badguys (hey we were young). After watching Max and co young bikers across the UK attempted to emulate Max, Goose, Toecutter by being mean moody and more than a bit sad just as their predecessors had tried to emulate Marlon Brando (The Wild One) and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider) years before.
The film although low budget is none the worse for that as it takes away some of the glitz that hollywood loves to throw into films and sometimes ruins by doing so (e.g. Thunderdsome Mad Max 3).
The stunts are terific and the use of outback shots enhances the desolation the film seeks to portray. The acting is weak in some respects but the actors who portray 'the Goose' and 'the Toecutter' stand out even above Mel Gibson with performances that while believable are just the right side of over the top.
The sound is excellent with good mood music work by Brian May. However in some places the speeded up driving and riding shots fail to work as well as they might. But in other areas the feel is just right e.g. Goose's ride out the morning after his night of passion with the nightclub singer.
Overall a real groundbreaker which has rarely been beaten and which will still be remembered in years to come as a classic of Aussie cinema.
