Le voyage dans la lune (1902) is what I consider the first steampunk movie....
Nnnnnaaaa, not really. it´s the first known science fiction movie (except for a short that deals with a robot) and predates all other scifi movies, it has to be seen as the predecessor of SciFi-movies. The early scifi-films that
Since Steampunk is a sub genre that appeared after the heydays of classic scifi and often incorporates a view on a dystopic society, I think "Brazil" is the first steampunk-y movie, and "City of lost children" and "Dark City" and any other post-1970ies movie that incorporates retro-fitted tech and is not based on a Jules Verne novel has to be counted in as well.

I've heard they've found an original handpainted colour print of this that they're trying to restore.

Mad Max isn't steampunk
It could be post-apocalyptic, dystopian, or something along those lines, but not steampunk
From Wikipedia:
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy, that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.
