Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior(1981)

7.6/10

dir. George Miller

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K, but only the corrected second pressing (UPC 883929 789993). The first pressing shipped with wrong audio tracks. It's the same transfer used in the Mad Max Anthology and 5 Film Collection boxes, and the UK got an HMV Exclusive steelbook with matching artwork.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome(1985)

6.2/10

dir. George Miller, George Ogilvie

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The 2022 standard release is the only 4K transfer on the market, and it's what Warner used in the Mad Max Anthology and the Zavvi Exclusive UK steelbook. Best Buy steelbook pre-orders from 2021 show up at scalper prices on the aftermarket but the transfer is the same.

Lethal Weapon(1987)

7.3/10

dir. Richard Donner

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. WB is doing the first Lethal Weapon solo in 4K, and everyone is waiting for the inevitable quadrilogy box set before buying in. The original Blu-ray was rough, so this remaster with Atmos is a real upgrade. The steelbook is $29.99 USD on GRUV, and the standard edition art actually looks better than the steel.
