Mad Max (1979, R)
Not very credible by today's standards, but for the late 70's this was a good film. Aussie film with an ultra low budget and it shows LOL. But must be seen for Mel Gibson's debut in a leading role as well as the film that started the Kennedy-Miller directing partnership |

Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) (1981, R)
