Badly directed.

The 2 people who don't like this film both have Turkish names, hmmm.
Either way, I'll give you $350,000 (1979 money) and let's see how well you can do?
Sure, some films have been made for less, but not action films with so many car wrecks, not in 1979.
The bikers in the film were an actual bike gang (The Vigilantes) who got paid with beer and got to keep the motorbikes (donated free by Kawasaki) at the end of the film. Well, they weren't really allowed to keep 'em, but they did (who's gonna ask for them back?).
The only cops in this film wearing actual leather was Max (Mel Gibson), the rest are wearing cheaper vinyl.
The road scenes were filmed on public roads without permission by simply going to remote areas and blocking sections of road off and hoping the cops didn't show up.
Most of the extras weren't paid (film students doing it for experience), the owner of truck at the end was paid $50 for the use of his truck, he didn't want his truck damaged so he insisted they use a painted wooden board on the front.
But this is the thing, you only know about that because you read it on the trivia page of this film, as I did. There's no way you or anybody else could see or notice that board in any way at normal speed, especially somebody who has not seen this film more than once. Just proves you're trolling.
I could go on and on, but why bother, the detractors are already convinced of their ignorance.
Sure, it's not the best film ever made, nobody ever said it was, but it sure is interesting and entertaining. If you don't like it, don't watch it, nobody is forcing you to watch it, just stick to Transformers and Batman or whatever it is that entertains you. -

No one said that, movie is bad or worst movie ever. What we were defending was, movie should not be categorized as cult, classic, poetic or post apocalyptic etc. etc.
Let's say that this is just a point of view, and I am the ignorant one, who does not understand beep Ok. well taken.
what bothers me more is, it has been told at a few times, that I was turkish etc. and that kind of racist approach. Yes I am turkish, so what? I never had an extra pride for my born country, and it would not be different if I was from US, italy, morocco or spain.. who cares?
Now I regret about even for this answer, cause it feels like I am debating with adolescent teens around here, which is worse.
whatever, I really don't give a beep about it anymore. -

This film was made for next to nothing, it is amazing how good this film is made and directed, i suggest you pull you head in and wake up.
Also if you are going to talk utter rubbish about a great film and pick on things that are so stupid then people can do the same with your grammar and spelling.
Both are as worthless as each other. -

Totally agree.
Don't be a hater, dear.

Now i saw it first time
You fail to provide any evidence that it is badly directed. But then, everyone in this thread is being stupid. That said, I only gave it 6 stars, because it's a pretty average film that was fairly entertaining. But it's certainly not great, nor a classic.
WORDS MEAN THINGS! Also, before you come to bitch about a plot hole, rewatch the show/movie.
