Just to clear up what seems to be common confusion:

MAD MAX came first. 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.
