Mad Max is again rolling onto Blu-ray in a big way this December with the Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition making its debut alongside and also within a new four-movie box set.
Officially titled the Mad Max: Fury Road Two Film Collection, this new release on Blu-ray or DVD includes the original theatrical color version of Fury Road along with the previously unseen black and white edition. Writer/director George Miller pitched in a new intro for the Black & Chrome Edition that explains his vision for the project.
That new release joins the Mel Gibson Mad Max movies in the Mad Max High-Octane Collection Blu-ray or DVD. You’re talking Mad Max (1979); Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981); Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985); and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) in color and black and white.
Also included in the Mad Max High-Octane Collection Blu-ray edition is previously released Mad Max: Fury Road on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.
Bonus features are split between a new featurete and an existing one:
- NEW! Road War – In 1982, the world was blindsided by George Miller’s masterpiece of apocalyptic destruction: The Road Warrior. For the first time ever George Miller, Terry Hayes and star Mel Gibson tell the story of the car-crushing production that redefined action cinema forever.
- Madness of Max – The previously released Mad Max (1979) documentary is a feature-length documentary on the making of arguably the most influential movie of the past thirty years. With over forty cast-and-crew interviews, hundreds of behind-the-scenes photographs and never-before-seen film footage of the shoot, this is, without a doubt, the last word on Mad Max (1979). Interviews include: George Miller, Byron Kennedy, Mel Gibson, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Roger Ward, Joanne Samuel, David Eggby, Jon Dowding and many more. From the Producers to the Bike Designers to the Traffic Stoppers, this is the story of how Mad Max was made.
