It's too bad the best jager name didn't make it out of viral marketing and into the movie proper, Diablo Intercept.

I'd say at least watch until you see the reveal, because it'll leave you speechless (for a variety of reasons). If you can't bear it, here ya go: The "ship" never left Earth. It's an immobile building in what is essentially a huge soundstage, controlled by super shady people. It was a big experiment designed to unleash latent telekinetic/psy/magic powers in people, presumably to be used to teleport humans to other planets. I'm not making this up.

They did gently caress up that armored car pretty good. That movie has so many badass characters who you feel die too quickly simply because you want to see more of them. Danny Trejo's character is another such example, I wanted to see him throw-knifing fools for hours.

While I loved Mad Max Fury Road there were a few little things that bugged me in the film: -How did the Warboys catch up with the War Rig so quickly? I get that Corpus tipped his dad off as soon as he saw it going off-route, but by then it had a sizable head start. All the vehicles had to be lowered by lifts, and there were a LOT of them in pursuit. I'm surprised they were able to catch up to the War Rig while it was still in Buzzard territory. -How did Rictus survive Bigfoot crashing? He was on the back, completely unprotected when Immortan swerved to try to avoid hitting Splendid. Yet later, he apparently dies when the War Rig he's on top of swerves and throws him off. Seemed kind of inconsistent. Hell, they could've had him die in the process of Immortan trying to save one of his wives and replaced him with another Imperator fighting Max at the end and it wouldn't have made much difference near the end of the film. -Splendid being surprisingly (visibly) un-mangled considering she fell out of a moving vehicle, tumbled through sharp rocks, and was run over by a monster truck. -Every time the plot dictated, the War Party 'caught up' with the Rig. It happened during the Buzzard Attack, and after the Sandstorm. After the Rig crossed the night bog, that apparently was the only point in which the War Party 'gave up' chasing them, until they decided to sprint for the Citadel.

Panfilo posted:While I loved Mad Max Fury Road there were a few little things that bugged me in the film: 1. The War Rig is nitro-boosted, but also prone to overheating. We saw that during the climactic chase back toward the canyon: Furiosa had to back off the throttle to avoid blowing out the second engine until the first engine was repaired. Plus, when they were going into Buzzard territory, she was still playing like she was driving a legit mission, and not pushing the War Rig to the max. By contrast, Immortan's forces were gunning full-out to catch up to her from the get-go. It wasn't until the cover was blown and her escorts were picked off/turned on her that she went full-out into the sandstorm. 2. It looked like Rictus fell off more toward the back of Bigfoot's crash, so the vehicle was still ahead of him when it flipped. Conversely, when Nux rolled the War Rig, he was standing on its hood, and it was coming more down on top of him. Plus, you then had the Doof Warrior's Ampmobile (or whatever it's called) smashing into the War Rig wreck, and probably coming right over Rictus. With that, plus the explosions and flames and whatnot, it seems likely that Rictus would be dead either from the crash, or would die of his wounds before reaching the Citadel. 3. Yeah, that's not one I can explain. 4. See my answer to number 1. The War Rig can put on some speed, but it isn't meant to do so over long distances without burning out the engines. Furiosa needed to keep the War Rig running for the long haul to escape Immortan's pursuit, whereas Immortan was willing to sacrifice as many War Boys, vehicles, and resources as he could to catch her. But by the time they hit the bog, the chase was getting too costly to maintain, as the People Eater pointed out. When the Bullet Farmer and the Peacemaker was destroyed, and with his grief at losing both Splendid and Rictus' baby brother, it doesn't seem unlikely that Immortan would call off the pursuit at that point. But when he realized that Furiosa and her party were going to try to take the Citadel, it suddenly became worth it to resume pursuit, to avoid losing his capital.

Plus, Immorten would have to turn around anyway. I don't remember an explination as to why the war party essentially sets up camp when the rig passes the swamp and Bullet Farmer is killed. From that point to them crossing the war party again is over a day later.

Yeah that is a bit dumb. I guess maybe something to do with the seemingly arbitrary rules of censorship in the USA? Like, you can show a woman all hosed up but if she's pregnant that's too much and would have to be cut? I dunno. As a slightly relevant aside. I hit a car at 50mph on my little motorbike and had all kinds of broken bones, many of them crush injuries, and the only cut I had was a tiny little one on my shin. No bruises what so ever, you couldn't tell I was hosed up internally just by looking at me. So, it happens I guess if you stretch the imagination a bit.

The Doof Warrior's purpose is to keep the War Boys fired up or to set a pace, like the drummer in the American Revolution right? But in the scene where they introduce him and in the final battle, the Doof Wagon is near the front of the convoy and its speakers are pointed directly forward.

I'm surpassed Immortan had his whole War Party farting around outside the bog and didn't think to recall at least some of them. They had no idea initially the Rig would double back and wasted a day and a half with the Citadel undefended.

But in the scene where they introduce him and in the final battle, the Doof Wagon is near the front of the convoy and its speakers are pointed directly forward. I'm assuming the Doof Wagon is generally in the middle or rear of the formation. But when the War Rig doubles back, the Doof Wagon inadvertantly ended up being closer. Right before the crash, you can see Warboys scrambling over it to get on the Rig. The Doof Wagon was also one of the bigger vehicles, and after People Eaters Rig blew up it looked like Joe intended to stop the Rig by sandwiching it between his Gigahorse and the Doof Wagon.

Also its perfectly reasonable to assume the giant doofspeakers work at making it specifically audible to the warparty's target in a chase. Gonna be terrifying knowing the louder that gets the sooner you die.

But in the scene where they introduce him and in the final battle, the Doof Wagon is near the front of the convoy and its speakers are pointed directly forward. It could also just be a symbol / standard to rally around, like having somebody carry an American flag during the revolution. Thats one more person who could carry a gun but in a lot of cases you have somebody carry a flag anyways. The symbol means something even if you can't hear it. And in addition to the speakers and guitar, there's lines of dudes banging on drums. Deep booming drums could carry around the caravan even without the speakers maybe? My IMM with the doof wagon was that the guy playing the guitar wasn't even playing anything. Like I guess he's a dumb mutant and most guitar skill is lost to the ages so he's not going to be a shred master or whatever, and he's a dumb war boy so he's not going to be playing amazing grace, yeah totally. But he isn't even rocking out on a basic chord progression or anything, he isn't even playing a decent rhythm or melody at all. Whenever the camera pans by the doof wagon its just <random guitar noises.mp3> like somebody is destroying a guitar on-stage and left it plugged in. I ... guess that's wild and crazy but it just sounded lame. Like dude at least just play one loving power chord, for the love of god.

Coma the Doof Warrior was a symbol of Immortan Joe's dominance over the wasteland. I mean do you see one of the Buzzard vehicles have some dude with a flamethrower accordian doing a cossack dance? No, because the Buzzards are a weak Beta gang. The guitar noise was also likely not just a morale boost for the Warboys, but struck fear in their enemies by being an ominous reminder of what was coming.

It'd still strike more fear if you heard metal riffs instead of just occasional guitar sounds. Errrr how do I play this thing? DUNNO SMASH IT MORE. I can understand not wanting to play recognizable popular music from our time, but at least play some arpeggios and power chords dude.

But how many people would notice if his fingerings didn't match the soundtrack? Hell they probably don't match exactly even with the <guitar sounds> instead of rocking out. The vast majority of movies don't have people playing instruments correctly, we're used to that. People playing piano they just don't show the fingers, people playing guitar just fake it, etc. That's accepted in cinema. You could have slipped in some slayer riffs or judas priest or something and only like .01% of the guitar nerds in the audience might even notice he wasn't playing it. Or again, if you don't want to use licensed music just have some metal riffs going, basic progression of power chords. But they just did like random guitar sounds in post. I don't get it. Its like his audio was treated as a Foley sound, instead of like music.

If I remember correctly, Immortan Joe stops the war party to grieve and so he can see if the baby she was carrying is still alive. The Bullet Farmer gets fed up waiting around and just goes for it.
