Despite what the Product Details state, both movies are in Full Screen only, what a waste. (Unless you like Full Screen, then you're welcome to it). These movies have a solid audience, why can't Warner Bros. realise this and put out a decent version on DVD? The movies on this disc don't look much better than the ones I taped off television... a decade ago. I would send mine back, but I'd already opened it before I discovered what a ripoof this was. Had the Format been accurately stated, I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place. Very disappointing.

What a dissapointment. I was anxiously awaiting this disc mainly for the rereleased Road Warrior. Getting Thunderdome was just a bonus. When I received this disc I was depressed to discover no extras for the disc (I thought it would at least have the bonus content that was on the Blu Ray & HD-DVD edition recently released) plus these films are in standard FULL SCREEN! What a waste. Just save your money for the hoped for special edition release later in the year.

There's no excuse for these two films to be full screen only. Even at under $10 bucks it's a major rip-off. A resounding boooooooo to Warner Bros. for this botched double-feature.

FULL SCREEN?? Upon waiting and waiting for rerelease of The Road Warrior only to find it an even lesser format is quite a disappointment. Especially having paid for something I would have never wasted the money on if not being MISLED by the product information.
I can only hope someday Warner Bros. will do justice with a decent DVD release of the only worthy & brilliant follow up to Mad Max.

Full screen? Really? What year was this? Don't even bother. This double-feature proves again that twice nothing is still nothing. Great movies horribly presented.

I bought this pack after buying Mad Max, the first of this three part series. These two post-apocalyptic films are awesome, thanks to Mel Gibson. They are similar to Waterworld (with Kevin Costner), but without the water. They are certainly worth owning, but be sure to get "Mad Max" first.

I see people posting not to get this because it's only full screen while normal people don't really care about that kind of thing if it's a good value. My husband and I are fans and this is a great deal even if there are no extras and no widescreen. If you want to watch a good movie for a great price then buy it. If you expect more then make sure you read about what you purchase. Got it quick too and it was hard to find elsewhere.

Although I loved and still love post-apocalyptic stories, I didn't like "The Road Warrior" when I first saw it, but now, as a relic of it's time, I think it holds up remarkably well. It's cool and weird - silly, in a good way. Eventually, I will replace this 2007, full screen release version with a better, widescreen copy.

I remember the critics, way back then, trashing "Beyond Thunderdome," for it's storytelling shortcomings. They were right. This movie looks great and has some spectacular action scenes, but I can't comprehend why THIS script got O.K.'d for shooting. Well, no doubt it had everything to do with the expected box office returns. This is a perfect example of "big budget crap."

After I re-watch the original "Mad Max," I'll probably revise this review.

Luv and peace.

Very Very disappointed to see it is not Widescreen, and there was no indication in the original advertising. I might have even missed it before opening the packaging if I had not gotten bored and read previous reviews. Since Blu Ray isnt an option yet, I finally broke down and decided widescreen is at least better than nothing. Now I find I received nothing. Sent back same day.

My 17 yr old son asked for the Mad Max series for Christmas. He and several friends enjoy the "old school" movies so this was a great buy, good price too.
