Two reasons. One--more of the great beautiful Joanne Samuel here. Two--this film did not tell us what happened to make everything so apocalyptic. We are left guessing. The first had a bad opening prologue spoiling our great guessing fun!
This movie comes in two different English speaking versions. I have other postings on films that come in different version. Check out my postings.

I'd have to agree. I first watched it around 15 years after its release and it still seemed so unique, atmospheric and absorbing. Minus some slightly hammy acting it's aged well almost 40 years after release.

I think the film was set around 1994.

I gave Mad Max (1979) a 4 out of 5, and The Road Warrior/Mad Max 2 (1981) a 4.5 out of 5 . . . so I liked the second film slightly more.
But I've no quarrel with people who preferred the first film; both were very good.
I grew up with the dubbed version of the first film, but when the original Australian audio became available in the U.S. on DVD, I bought that version (eventually converting to Blu-Ray), and it is now the only version I'll watch. I am so glad the original audio became available, as I'm sure most will agree the American English-dubbing for the initial U.S. release was awful.
By the way, I happened to enjoy the opening prologue of the second film; while I'm generally a "show-don't-tell" person when it comes to films, I still thought there was plenty for us to guess about in the second film, so I didn't mind the opening narration . . . but that's just me.

Narration was not good.Defeated the whole point of the great obscurity of the first film. The first film was basking every minute in the idea that something was wrong but you did not quite know what.
