| Description: | Select Guide Rating The Mad Max Effect provides an in-depth analysis of the Mad Max series, and how it began as an inventive concoction ofa number of influences from a range of exploitation genres (including the biker movie, the revenge film, and the car chasecinema of the 1970s), to eventually inspiring a fresh cycle of international low budget ‘road warrior’ movies that appeared on home video in the 1980s.
