I can't help but laugh in Road Warrior when Max goes from driving The Interceptor to...this. It's kinda great because it's like a child's drawing of the ultimate hot rod come to life but boy is it doofy looking at the same time.

moths posted:Raiders can't stand people dressing in white. Not after Labor Day. With all of the Thunderdome discussion, it just clicked with me that Nick Hoult's Nux in the trailer was reminding me a whole lot of some whacked-out amalgam of Scrooloose and Pig Killer.

He was great in The Matrix also, I'm glad he was able to be like the ultimate god of that one subway. He's one of Mr. Book's assistants in Dark City as well, though he only has two or three lines. His being cast as a similar but different person in Thunderdome was because even then Miller liked the idea of Max's story being a myth rather than a hard setting. That oasis was pretty chill, but I think the point was that the kids got to fly back to what the oldest ones knew as their real home. I really don't mind the kids overall and really liked their wholly unique slang and little culture that formed. But the film really does drag there, the overly cartoony action and the chase not being as interesting hurt it a lot more to me. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Bruce Spence got a gig in that tv adaptation of that terrible Terry Gookind book series. Wizard's First Rule? I think it went on for a couple seasons. He was one of the main characters, anyways.

What the gently caress, Bruce Spence was in Legend of the Seeker? That show owned really hard, especially given what it was based on, and now I know why.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Roger Ebert loved Spielberg-style sap and hated movies that were relentlessly bleak and uncomfortable (see: hating Blue Velvet). Combine that with the fact that he was a huge fanboy for comic book science fiction and it's really not too surprising. ...also, big breasts and black women. If there had been a big-budget science fiction movie in the '80s that had Pam Grier as the lead and it had her at least topless once, it would be Roger Ebert's Movie Of That Year. Also, on Mad Max actors appearing in other films, this is largely because of how small the casting pool in Australia is (or at least at the time). If you watch Australian movies long enough, they'll pop up evenutally: Roger Ward (Fifi) shows up in Turkey Shoot, Steve Bisley (Goose) has been part of some Coast Guard show for decades, and Hugh Keays-Byrne has had a cinematic career forever, but has been mostly doing theater during the 2000s.

Hey, thread. Just popping in to say that I love The Road Warrior and I like Thunderdome to a large extent. I've seen the first Mad Max and enjoyed it but I haven't watched it in a while. This movie looks amazing! I liked the little two-headed lizard that was in the first teaser. I don't know if mutant animals are going to be a thing in the movie, but I hope they do show some more. I may be a minority opinion, but i wouldn't mind a tad bit of Thundarr the Barbarian in Mad Max. Just show some mutant freaks and "technology of the Ancients" and it'd be rad.

i had only watched 2 and 3 previously due to catching them on tv multiple times as a kid so i watched the first one 2 days ago and I was kinda shocked by how increadibly well shot the movie was. almost every scene looks like a completely gem. the nightclub scene with goose was not something i had expected in a mad max movie

The trailer for this confused me, especially since I haven't watched more than bits and pieces of the earlier films: If the setting is post-apocalyptic or at the very least "Something caused civilization to collapse", as I understand it, how does everyone have tons of gas to drive in huge elaborate chase scenes? Hell, I thought that Mad Max's setting entailed some energy/gas collapse...

MisterBibs posted:The trailer for this confused me, especially since I haven't watched more than bits and pieces of the earlier films: The real answer to this is because driving cars is awesome. The pretend answer is probably that a gas crisis when there's 7 billion people and a gas crisis when there's 600 million are two different things. There are literally no bastions of civilization shown in these movies, and even the hoard of Humungous is like, 30 guys. Also I don't think anyone is claiming the lifestyle of the crazy wasteland hotrodders is sustainable.

theres a heavily fortified place where they make gas, caravans go there and trade with other cities so there's always some gas to be found even though its pretty rare

Aunty Entity: We call it Underworld. That's where Bartertown gets its energy. Max: What, oil? Natural gas? Aunty Entity: Pigs. Max: You mean pigs like those? Aunty Entity: That's right. Max: Bullshit! Aunty Entity: No. Pig poo poo. Max: What? The Collector: Pig poo poo. The lights, the motors, the vehicles, all run by a high-powered gas called methane. And methane cometh from pig poo poo.

Road Warrior's plot revolves around an oil refinery and by Thunderdome, the gas is all gone and Bartertown is powerful specifically because they know how to harvest methane. By all accounts Fury Road takes place between 1 and 2, so logically there's still enough gas to scavenge to run spiky murdercaravans.

I'm so hyped for the game I know I will be disappointed, but it really does look awesome. I used to play that crappy NES Mad Max game and Outlander on the SNES/Genesis (this was a Mad Max game officially when it began development) all the time growing up, wishing that an actual good Mad Max game could exists. So of course Fallout 1 ended up being like my favorite game of all time.  It's always weird to me how the three Mad Max movies are definitely as influential on video games as Terminator, Aliens, etc. but only ended up with one official game based on them in 1990.Blind Sally posted:The Collector: When you watch the TV cut of this that would be on WPIX and TNT all the time back in the day it's edited to sound like "And methane cometh from pigeth."

So, every year I go to this thing called Wasteland Weekend, and it's gotten larger with every year, and we're all kind of anticipating that this year is going to be insanely, exponentially more packed than every other year combined on account of the new Max movie. I'm looking forward to seeing an influx of people dressed like the new villains, heroes, Citadel worms, bullet farmers, and Gasstowners.

George Miller has said nothing of the sort. Mad Max: Furiosa and another potential film are planned, but he's never used the word reboot or defined when this film takes place in the timeline. Everything that's been claimed is just conjecture.

You should probably just watch the movie and enjoy it on its own merits instead of trying to decide whether it's supposed to a sequel, midquel, prequel, or reboot.

Like the other 3 movies. There is no continuity or real timeline or canon to any of the other movies and it's better that way.
