How can I tell the difference from the box? Your questions are all backwards. MAD MAX was made first, and it is the movie with the dubbed American version. I don't know which version is on video- tape(if any). You really don't need to see MAD MAX at all; the first two or three minutes of ROAD WARRIOR has clips from MAD MAX that sums up MAD MAX pretty much. But if you really want to see both, you should see MAD MAX first.
