The international Title of this film was "Max Max 2", however, the first Mad Max film did not get a lot of exposure in the U.S. market (for one thing, it was a much lower budgeted film and Mel Gibson's voice was dubbed). The sequel to the film had the advantage of a much higher budget and a distribution deal with a major American Distributor, ensuring that it would appear in many more theaters across the country. The U.S. theatrical release title was "The Road Warrior", jumping onto the bandwagon of the parade of 'post apocalyptic' sci fi films of the period. This Ad campaign heavily implying that it was not a sequel but a stand alone film, even though a prologue at the beginning of the film recounts the attack of Max's family from the first movie. The Road Warrior was a financial success and paved the way for the third film in the series "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" (1985). During Video and DVD re-releases, the film has been alternately re-titled "Mad Max 2" or "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior".
