[ NOTES ]

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) is available on 4K UHD, 4K + Blu-ray Steelbook, Blu-ray, and DVD. Supposedly, the 4K UHD disc has extras that are not found on either of the other two releases. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the 4K UHD release, but not at this time. Warner Brothers is planning on releasing a "Black and Chrome Edition" 4K UHD on September 24th, so you may want to wait a month and pick that up instead; assuming it also includes this color version and the same extras. I'll try to review the "Black and Chrome Edition" 4K UHD when it comes out to let you all know what it contains.

Also on September 24th, Warner Brothers will release the Mad Max 5-Film Collection 4K UHD. According to the press release, it will contain Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024). The Collector's Edition also includes special features from the five films along with the Black & Chrome Editions of Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
