No, not that one.
I liked Fury Road enough to see it in theaters twice, which I almost never do. It was superb. It also reminded me that I haven’t seen the original in quite a while. If you had HBO in the mid-80s, you could hardly avoid memorizing every line of The Road Warrior / Mad Max 2 but, at least in the states, the original Mad Max didn’t get much play. I’d seen it, of course, but my memory is mostly of the spectacularly bad dubbing and the grainy transfer, all rendered in not-so-glorious VHS on a TV that was new when Reagan was President.
After I saw Fury Road I dug around in my pile of video and found a box set that included all three of the original films on Blu-Ray. For the original Mad Max, the difference in quality was really striking. They cleaned up the print, and took out the craptastic dubbing, and reworked the audio mix. It made a huge difference.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was like watching a new movie, but it’s in the same ballpark. If you’re a fan of the original movie and you’ve got a spare $10 lying around, there are worse things you could spend it on.
Also, the hype surrounding Fury Road generated a lot of trivia lists about the original movies. Some of them were pretty interesting. My favorite (spoiler alert) is that apparently the Humongous (the body builder dude in the hockey mask from Road Warrior) was originally conceived as Jim Goose (Max’s partner) from the original movie. They ultimately ditched the idea, but that’s why Humongous has all the burn scars on his head.
