I am unaware of any rarities for Mad Max, however, I can quote some info about the OOP Japanese DVD:

Text taken from: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) @ DVD Compare

The Original Limited Japanese Unrated release is fully UNCUT, but is Non-Anamorphic, only has 2.0 sound and VERY hard to find. There is another Japanese release which is Anamorphic, has 5.1 sound and some Extras including a featurette, but this version is slightly cut.

The current R1, R2's and the R4 releases are anamorphic and 5.1 however they are the US R-Rated cut, which is missing a few seconds (refer to cut notes below).
Beware however that the German and the old Swedish release are cut further 4m 25s, AVOID THESE VERSIONS!


I guess that means you might want to use an anamorphic NTSC DVD release (say the American R1) and insert the missing scenes from the completely uncut version. However, I don't know if we're allowed to talk about projects like that any more.
