Disc 6. Mad Max: Fury Road (Theatrical Edition: 4K Ultra HD)
Disc 7. Bonus Disc (All newly announced content + "Madness of Max" documentary: Blu-ray)?

Or 8-Discs... If they leave "Madnes of Max" on a DVD, and press a separate blu-ray/DVD disc for the newly announced bonus features.

Unless they put the new extras on the other discs. I know Road Warrior's current BD doesn't even fill half the available space; plenty of room for more features.

So, a question (or rather, two questions):

1. Will both The Madness of Max and Road War documentaries be in full HD this time around (both were produced within the past year or two), and:

2. Why no documentary for Beyond Thunderdome? Hell, they already have a ready-to-go vintage piece that came out waaaaay back in 1985 (that's also up on YouTube) that they could've slipped onto a disc, even SD:

The shorter, 35-minute version is the YouTube copy, but a fuller, hour-long edition also exists, and was broadcast on TV (I remember watching it back in the day).

Beyond Thunderdome is widely regarded as the red-headed stepchild of the series, so no surprise they didn't bother throwing anything in for that one. I'm kind of relieved, as it makes skipping the box set easy for me (it's my favorite Mad Max film).

While you make a good point, I'm skeptical they'd press a new disc of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, when it took them 6 years to remaster the movie for it's 2nd Blu-ray release; which they then included in both the Trilogy set, and the Anthology set.

I just don't get the hate for it. I mean, Road Warrior and Fury Road are obviously far better, but it's got so many great, memorable aspects and it has one of the best traditional movie scores ever written!

Are the first three films remastered?

Beyond Thunderdome is perfect..... until Max meets the kids. It's game over from there on.

Probably not. They're most likely the same 3 discs they've been repackaging for ages now. So, the 2010 MGM disc of MM1, the 2013 RW disc, and the 2013 Thunderdome disc.

Other countries are getting a new Thunderdome disc with a new documentary but we, in the US and Canada, are not?!

Mediocre.

I did say "probably." They might be putting out the new disc in North America, but the press release is too vague to definitively know at this point.

The German set is six discs:

Mad Max - no change
The Road Warrior - adds a new documentary
Beyond Thunderdome - adds a new documentary
Fury Road - no change
Fury Road: Black & Chrome Edition - new presentation and extras
The Madness of Max - no change, still a DVD

So the US release should be seven discs as it includes the 4K UHD of Fury Road theatrical.

December 6th? Three weeks before my birthday! WHOO HOO!!!!!!!

[RodChester]

Well I'm in for the big set for all the extras. I really hope they put the Madness of Max and Road Warrior documentaries on a bluray in HD. Hoping we get some Thunderdome bonus features since they already exists. This could be the ultimate Mad Max set. Don't blow it Warner.

I'll pick up the double feature.

[Geoff D]

In for the full set, I want those extra documentaries.

It ranks last in the series for me. I'm fine with it until after the Thunderdome fight. I find it mostly worthless after that.

Is there any new content here? I have the Anthology set that come out last year.
