From the box:

Hilarious invasion from four extraordinary aliens.

The hilarious adventures of four ordinary aliens who crash land on Earth may give new dimension to the word “Moron.”

The aliens are quite human, and entirely uncurious about Earth and what they find there. Conversely, Earthling interest in them is so intense that they soon become international celebrities and pop superstars.

This could just be the beginning for the Morons From Outer Space.

Mad Max on VHS. Starring Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne. With Steve Bisley, Tim Burns. Directed by George Miller. 1979.

From the box:

Mel Gibson introduces the character of Max in this full-speed futuristic epic, a bleak, decaying landscape of the post-nuclear future that continues in “The Road Warrior.” MAD MAX is the dark vision of this stark future, a high-speed, high-intensity film that became an instant cult classic.

In this desolate wasteland, all that remains is the highways of the Australian outback, the scene of bizarre death chases between vicious rebel bikers and the police who guard what is left of civilization. Max is a gung-ho young cop, the best of his squad. But when Max’s best friend on the force is killed, Max hangs up his guns, taking his wife and young child across the country on a long-needed vacation. But the renegade gang isn’t through with Max just yet…
