The 1979 Italian poster for Mad Max – released in Italy as Interceptor – is a striking example of vintage film art. Designed by John Hamagami, the poster features a leather-clad Max standing atop his vehicle, shotgun in hand, encapsulating the film's gritty, post-apocalyptic essence.

The tagline reads: 'Le strade erano diventate uno strumento di vendetta, la giustizia era solo un lontano ricordo, pregavano solo di non incontrarlo,' translating to 'The streets were transformed into an instrument of revenge, justice was only a distant memory, they prayed only not to meet him.'
