''Max Max 2'' is the international title of 1981's ''[[The Road Warrior]]'', since the first ''[[Mad Max]]'' film did not get a lot of exposure in the U.S. market (being a much lower budgeted film and all of the Australian actors' voices including star [[Mel Gibson]] were 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. Released in the U.S. under the title ''[[The Road Warrior]]'', this film was largely responsible for launching 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]]'', released in 1985. During video and DVD re-releases, the film has been alternately re-titled "''Mad Max 2''" or "''Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior''".

The Road Warrior / Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)

The Road Warrior, later Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is the 1981 sequel to Mad Max. The movie's initial US release did not announce it as a sequel, since the original film did not get a lot of exposure in the US market. 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. Released in the US under the title The Road Warrior, this film was largely responsible for launching the parade of 'post-apocalyptic' sci-fi films of the period. The movie's advertising campaign heavily implyed that it was not a sequel but a standalone film, even though a prologue at the beginning recounts Max's backstory 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, released in 1985. This article uses the original US release title; following the franchise's success, it was re-linked to the original movie, and modern editions are titled Mad Max 2 or Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
