What a lovely Black Friday to get some new Mad Max Blu-rays! For the sales event, you can pick up the entire Mad Max saga in 4K, starting from the original 1979 Mel Gibson movie and leading up to the recently released Furiosa spin-off. Available now at Amazon, the Blu-ray box set has been discounted to $70–a 30% savings from its usual $100 price.
If you’ve never seen a Mad Max movie, the gist of the series is that it takes place in a dystopian future where society has broken down, natural resources are in short supply, and Earth’s ecosystem has been decimated. The first film helped kick off a new wave of “Ozploitation” movies that found massive success abroad, and in the sequels that followed, director George Miller would further flesh out the world and mythology of Mad Max.
2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road is regarded as the best film in the series, and it saw Tom Hardy take on the lead role of Max Rockatansky for an action-packed adventure set across the future wasteland. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga arrived earlier this year and it was the first film to not be focused on Max. The five-film bundle is packaged inside of a slipcase cover that is decorated with stylized art and production stills from all the Mad Max movies, and each 4K film comes with a digital streaming code.
You can also save big right now on some peak cinema. Dozens of Blu-rays from the Criterion Collection are on sale, so if you want to see the director’s cut of movies and enjoy plenty of bonus materials that show just how these masterpieces came to be, these are the DVDs to grab.
Some of the highlights here include the beautiful fantasy films of Guillermo del Toro–Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water–as well as other must-see movies like Parasite, Police Story, and Scanners.
