>b-b-but it's a le feminist movie! >max beats the shit out of and subdues five women at once with one hand, while chained to an unconscious man and a car door
>noooo women literally can't do anything or the movie is just feminist propaganda
I'm as racist and sexist as the next guy, but those people are homosexuals and just need to learn to enjoy good movies that have women involved.
In the first one it seemed it had already collapsed. It was like they were just going through the motions still, denying that the world they knew was gone
Road Warrior has only a few linkages to the old world remaining; Humungus’s gun case, the Cop Gang turned warlords, individual backstories, etc. but the savage kid segue’s to the Thunderdome subtext of a new generation born entirely in the new world. You could make the argument that the warboys et al are just extensions of that, the kids of thunderdome era grown up (with an ageless max because he himself is a ghost / legend and no longer a human being)
i subscribe to the idea of Max being a wasteland legend, it's really the only way it makes sense. his car blows up every movie and he always gets it back in the next one
I'm pretty sure the original intention was to have Max be old and played by Mel Gibson. George Miller seems like the person to bring him back and. A lot of the timeline weirdness only exists because you have a young lead instead of an old one. Obviously this didn't pan out that way, probably because of Mel's commentary or suits not wanting an old lead.

Miller wanted Gibson for Fury Road in the early 2000s, but changed his mind after Gibson got too old due to the constant production delays.
Well could also just be the unreliable narrator. Maybe he was actually 21 during the old Mad Max movies and in Fury Road he is like 49. Would work with Tom Hardys age

Could be. Gibson was only 21 when they shot the original film in the fall of 1977.
like in Heart of Darkness where the world becomes more surreal and bizarre the further in they went the Mad Max character enters worlds more comically atavistic and cartoonish the further they’re removed from the old world. I think it’s cool. Mad Max 1 civilization is on the ropes due to vague economic and social malaise and the nuke stuff only happened when Road Warrior was written to further the fun part of the movie (insane gangs rampaging on badass vehicles)
Fury Road was reshot several times because the israelites didn't like his cut and probably wanted something more moronic and pozz, i think the director went full david lynch the first time, then blew all the money and said he couldn't reshoot which is why they withheld his payment because he didn't want to destroy the film
>Fury Road was reshot several times
no. they were ready to start filming various times through the years but something always got in the way and production was cancelled. they finally started filming in 2012 (about two years after they'd announced it and had cast tom hardy, so even that wasn't immediate)
The original Mad Max is kind of messy and mediocre. Road Warrior is where it became kino and there hasn't been a bad film in the franchise since. If you disagree, you're a gay
I went into Thunderdome expecting it to be bad because everyone shit talks it, but I thought it was good. It definitely feels more like a generic 80s action/adventure than a crazy car battle movie, but it still has cool scenes and the best world/character building out of the 4 movies.
is there even an official timeline for Mad Max? all I know is 2 is three years after 1, in that time span they went from some semblance of order to full-on organized gangs. 3 obviously shows a self sufficient community, so a functioning city state like in Fury Road doesn't seem far-fetched. so I think all 4 films happened within 10 years, 15 tops. Max just lost the concept of time as he traveled the wasteland.
When he turns the ignition on and you first hear the sound similar to a fricking jet turbine and then the v8 rumble

I know it's automotive fantasy, but it's unsurpassed when it comes to cool cars.
Maybe 1989 Batmobile
to this
The new one looks even worse
The water wars and nukes did some work or they just drove for 50 minutes
He went inland
the philosophy is more is more
This is what happens when you drive from 100km west of Sydney to 300km west of Sydney
terrrrrrrible movie that got so much love. first two are visionary classics
So much of this movie is just driving across open space, it makes you realize how important roads were to the action in 1 and 2.
I get a kick out of Fury Road haters.
>b-b-but it's a le feminist movie!
>max beats the shit out of and subdues five women at once with one hand, while chained to an unconscious man and a car door
this, they actually almost went to far when he shot the cute one
I wanted to hate it like so many others, But i just couldn't
>noooo women literally can't do anything or the movie is just feminist propaganda

In the first one, society is on the verge of collapsing. In the sequels it has been obliterated.

Yeah, just on the cusp, teetering on the edge, etc. It's all practically the same in the scope of how far gone it is in the sequels.

It’s implied Max is somehow immortal and decades have passed between Mad Max and Fury Road.
i subscribe to the idea of Max being a wasteland legend, it's really the only way it makes sense. his car blows up every movie and he always gets it back in the next one
not even immortal man of flesh but more like a revenant or avenging spirit, the original real max died in the first movie
>but more like a revenant or avenging spirit, the original real max died in the first movie
Then what's the point?
Avenging spirits are kino

The Fury Road Max is the feral kid from Mad Max 2
Wrong

When I was a kid I used to think that supercharger on the hood was a second engine.

Source?

thunderdome is pretty shit, it reminded me of evil dead 3

I like that it starts out so interesting and original in that you don't really have any idea what direction the adventure will travel in
The amateur nature of the first movie is part of its charm
Worst opinion I've ever seen.
In many ways it’s closer to a Duplass brothers mumblecore indie drama than it is to the later Mad Max films.
You just don't have the style, do you, chickenshit?
is there even an official timeline for Mad Max? all I know is 2 is three years after 1, in that time span they went from some semblance of order to full-on organized gangs. 3 obviously shows a self sufficient community, so a functioning city state like in Fury Road doesn't seem far-fetched. so I think all 4 films happened within 10 years, 15 tops.

I do hope they can properly build on this without explaining things to much
>Here's that 23 year old kid I was telling you about
Because Mad Max 1 is PRE-apocalypse, you moron.
