No. Almost no one had seen the original Mad Max when the second film became a huge hit. The first film is an 'origins' type and, honestly, it's pretty dull until the action bits at the end. It explains why he became a wanderer with something of a death wish but it's far from necessary or original. I mean, do we really need to see Bruce Wayne lose his parents to watch him fight bad guys? Kind of like that.
He's a drifter character who stumbles his way into an entirely new conflict with each film.
