Wasn't the original Mad Max retitled The Road Warrior for the US market? I believe that it was also subtitled because it was a foreign film!!
It was a major influence behind the Japanese comic series Hokuto no Ken (AKA Fist of the North Star), particularly the dress sense of the hero (based on Max's wardrobe) and the bad guys (from Mad Max 2 and 3)

I remember seeing that movie and then being inspired to go for a blast on my Honda 900 along the Westway in London, at somewhat illegal speeds. A long time ago...

My recollection is that Mad Max was released before The Road Warrior by several years, but that the latter had more box office success in the USA. The Road Warrior was also known as Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
And then, of course, there was Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
I don't remember subtitles in the original Mad Max, but I do remember it being post-dubbed (poorly), and so had somewhat the feel of a Chinese-export film.
Post-dubbing is common in films not shot on a sound stage, but lower-budget films don't often have the advantage of ADR (automatic dialog replacement), so the speech is often poorly sync'd with the visuals, and lack of depth in the post-dubbed sound effects (the richly-layered sounds in better films are added on a Foley stage by talented Foley artists) makes the audio on low-budget films seem "flat."
Yours in Budo,
