Mad Max--First Class DVD Treatment
...not only do we get all the great features that we associaite with a DVD (Theatrical trailers, TV spots, documentary featurettes, audio commentaries, etc.) but it will also include the original Austrailian soundtrack, something I NEVER thought I would see during my lifetime. (Most people already know that when the film was released theatrically in the United States in 1979, Filmways, the movie's U.S. distributor, dubbed the Australian actors with Mid Atlantic voices). The film was, of course, availabe at one time on DVD from Image Entertainment (it is now out of print); there was also a Japaneese Region 2 NTSC DVD that was released, although I admittedly have not seen that version (I have yet to own an all code DVD player). I've also noticed a legimimate VCD version of the movie put up for auction on Ebay. Now, with MGM / UA Video releasing this version on DVD to North American audiences..., the movie is getting the treatment it so richly deserves.
