This movie is like a legend in horror movies. At those times, in 1981 people were not pretty familiar with the graphic horror, as now every horror movie uses it. For that time, this was the best horror movie ever made. It's still now, if you ask me. The movie was banned in many countries due to the violence shown in the movie. I remember when I was a kid I heard about this movie that it was the most scariest movie. I didn't get a chance to watch that time. The movie is great, the sound and graphics used in the movie are awesome.

The movie is based on the athletes who run for Olympics. The movie is good for a one time watch. The theme song of the movie is pretty nice.

Mad Max was the first movie of the trilogy which was released in 1979. I liked the story and it was quite unique. In the first part the villain was quite dramatic and sounds really good with the Australian accent. The first part signifies the making of Max, a mad guy. Second part was good with the fighting for the fuel concept. At the last, when it was found out that the fuel was not in the tanker was a great suspense. Nice way to tackle the bad guys. In the third part I liked the concept of Master-Blaster. Overall, all the three parts are nice. The first part is a bit slow, but again it's good to watch.
