Mad Max 2: Collectors Edition (made for TV version)

Post by captroverman »

Hello All,

What a great website, that old saying of 'long time listener, first time caller' applies to me here :) but glad to be apart of it all.

So l will start off with a interesting one: Mad Max 2: Collectors Edition or what some might even call it the 'made for TV version'. There are a few other 'threads' l would say that l have found out there regarding this but none that for me have achieved finding a copy (that is still a valid link) or that seem to ask the right questions.

Ever since discovering this version l have searched high and low but trying to get my hands on a copy is proving to be quite hard which is also understandable.

What information l have found on this copy is very limited and for the most of it this website/forum has been able to provide me with most of it as well.

On this website (https://www.madmaxmovies.com/mad-max-2- ... index.html) it noted (which has now been deleted as of earlier today) that if you wished to get a copy to try and make contact with 'Shane' at [email protected]. I messaged this email over the weekend but it bounced back at which point l tried googling it but again come up empty handed. It also notes on that same page a 'Chris Maier' got their hands on a copy quite some time ago.

I messaged the 'madmaxmovies' website via their contact page earlier today to see if they would be able to shed any light on the above mentioned 'Shane'.

As for whether its on DVD or VHS doesnt bother me but to be able to find a copy would be great.

A lot of the websites and links found in most of the places l have found are errors now due to they have either sold out of copies or for what ever other reasons.

Theres copies out there somewhere, just gotta find them :)

-Ben

Yeah I have both copies.

VHS rip with annotations about altered scenes.
DVD of the same version ripped directly from TV, NBC Sunday Night, 12-84. It's a cleaner version but it has advertisements baked into it so the whole thing extends to 2 hours. Of course the quality is way better.

PM me if you need any of those.

I did wonder if it was one of those things you might be lucky enough to stumble upon and a convention type thing.

Hello From Italy!
I am a big italian fan of the Mad Max movies and I have been following this forum for a long time. Now, reading these threads, I decided to sign in.
I have been looking for a good copy of the mad max 2 tv version for a long time, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere on internet yet, except for some deleted scenes on youtube.
I read in the previous post that Taipan has a dvd copy of the tv version (see quote below), and I wonder whether he would agree to share it.

I really hope you can help me and thank you in advance for your consideration.
