[Dr. Sivana]

They're the same movie.

I haven't seen either, but of course your right. I can flip it to make the same case: The Road Warrior outscored Mad Max, and I think #3 with Tina Turner ("Beyond Thunderdome") outscored both.

I hope I didn't sound like a jerk before.

I'm a fan of the original Mad Max because of the simple story (it's a Western with cars), and what they were able to accomplish with almost no money.

The opening chase, where we're introduced gradually to Max, while we see the rest of his police force fail trying to capture the fugitive "Nightrider" is just brilliant.
