Product: Mad Max (1979)
Rating: 4.0
Cheap but satisfying
"Mad Max" was made on a low budget ($50K to $100K according to various sources); the dubbing and some of the editing do make the film seem cheap at times, but the photography and music are of big-budget quality. The chases provide lots of thrills (wait'll you see that trailer burst!). Director George Miller provides some brilliant imagery (Max's feverish search for the last of the bikers is a most unforgettable set-piece).
