ROAD WARRIOR is the sequal. After ROAD WARRIOR did well, they rereleased MAD MAX with American accents dubbed in (this was a bad idea.) It is still worth seeing, although it lacks something. MAD MAX was released years ago, so most people forgot about it until ROAD WARRIOR came out. -- Charles Forsythe CSDF@MIT-VAX "The Church of Fred has yet to come under attack.
