...of SCIENCE! posted:Road Warrior loving owns. There's like 5 lines of dialogue in the entire first 15 minutes of the movie. Fallout only recently got a (weird) car mod, so this might be safe. Also, to really be Fallout, the main character has to crash all the time.

I found Beyond Thunderdome really boring, which is beyond criminal for a Mad Max movie, but it's been a long time since I've watched it.

Jonny Retro posted:The first half is great in my opinion. Once the Lost Boys are introduced it kind of starts to drag a little because there's no real danger anymore. Even when there is it doesn't feel like it. It's obvious that nothing bad will really happen, so there's no real tension. I think the worse that happens to one of the 'good guys' is a spear to the leg during the climax, which gets played for laughs. Yeah Beyond Thunderdome was all over the place and ultimately felt like it went nowhere to me. Meanwhile it feels like everyone has been steadily trying and failing to remake The Road Warrior for 30 years.

I just watched The Road Warrior again last night. Masterpiece. The final chase sequence is so elaborately laid-out and told that it's just amazing. You constantly get a sense that Max is completely screwed--there's no way out of this one no matter how many die!--and yet it keeps going, with Max dueling an army of these animals. The final crash is therefore doubly amazing.

VoodooXT posted:Apparently, that was an accident. The stunt man wasn't supposed to flip in the air like that; his leg hit the vehicle, breaking his leg, causing him to flip over like that. Well, I don't wanna say that clip was worth the broken leg, but yeah it's amazing.

Atlas Hugged posted:http://collider.com/mad-max-fury-road-reshoots/?_r=true Reshoots are actually somewhat common, it's just a matter of how publicized they are that leads to the perception that the movie is completely screwed. The Lord of the Rings had eighteen weeks of reshoots between the three movies, none of which came as a major surprise to anyone and went by in fairly orderly fashion. Also it's probably hard to get Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron on set at the same time these days, which helps to explain the delay.

The anime's pretty underwhelming on all fronts but has a long way to go before it is live action Highlander sequel bad. It's not written particularly well, the lead voice actor is terrible, and the plot is a yawn.\ E: Also it's worth noting that the story is about a 2,000-year-old idiot who never gets it right. I am not being hyperbolic, that's the plot. Name Change fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Aug 3, 2014 |

I've always felt like most good memories of Mad Max come directly from Mad Max 2. The first one is interesting but amateurish and dated, 2 is a classic film, and 3 sucks. See also: The re-make basically being a continuation of Mad Max 2.

Mantis42 posted:No its got a lot in common with Seven Samurai. One of the main themes of Seven Samurai is of class distinctions - the peasants rely on the samurai to protect them but they have an underlying tension and their interests are at odds. Mad Max is a 'road warrior', who is closer to the men of Humungus' gang than to the settlers. The Gyro Captain fills the role of the young samurai who is becomes one of the peasants at the end. If it's a remake of Seven Samurai then every western with "class distinctions" is a remake of Seven Samurai. It's essentially a western, I'll give it that.

Ratings are a completely arbitrary and political system, and if you have powerful allies in the industry you can push PG-13 to the limit. The Dark Knight is basically an R movie with big names in it.

Young Freud posted:Probably doesn't need it since it's all these weird masculine mutants like the Bullet Farmer and Immortan Joe that are going after young virginal women. Yeah the whole thing where they're a bunch of half-feral homosexuals seems really forced and inappopriate these days.

People have been trying and failing to remake The Road Warrior since it came out, and realistically it is the reason anyone really cares about Mad Max (and the one this new one appears to most resemble). See that one.

Mad Max 1 is OK, Road Warrior is the actual classic of the three and the basis of the series' continuing influence, and most of Thunderdome is boring.
