Are these listings from Amazon distribution, a reliable vendor, or some nobody with an Amazon Store?

For Mad Max, this is potentially very bad news, since the WB Blu-ray (somehow) prioritizes the godawful American dubbed audio track, as opposed to the original English audio. Unless this is a harbinger of MGM entering the UHD game (or of MGM licensing the film otherwise) and providing the films audio properly on a US edition, I am nervous.

I'm not too bothered in this case. I've already done a custom BD of the MGM video with the PROPER original mono audio so I've scratched that particular itch. If the UHD version comes with the lossless US 2.0 dub and lossy Aussie 5.1 like the current Warners BD then it won't be ideal, but I could live with that.

(One movie I couldn't do that with is Terminator. The UHD could well end up looking amazing if the remastered BD is any indication, but without the original mono track I'm not going near it.)

It looks like WB holds the rights to MM in Europe. As for the audio the original track was mostly botched on set rendering it incomprehensible so most people will be choosing the dubbed one.
