...of SCIENCE! posted:Mad Max also owns for being indirectly responsible for Babe: Pig In The City. Pig in the City is totally a prequel to Mad Max films. I like to imagine that the aesthetic of Millers apocalyptic wasteland is a result of its inhabitants trying to recreate civilisation as seen in Babe 2.

I'm still not entirely convinced they didn't flat out murder their drivers for some of those crash scenes in the first two movies. Actually, I feel that way for just about every Australian road movie. EDIT: Whoops new page, edited for clarity.

My favorite is the part where, after the two ex-MaxForce guys drag the Warrior Woman and the Mechanic off the tanker, Max sees them come up and...  Both barrels. One slug, one buckshot. You can just see the loving rage on his face when he does it, too.

The stunts in these movies are totally nutso. When I first saw Mad Max 2, I used to think Badcop was an evil twin of Max Rockatansky, since he is wearing exact same outfit Max is wearing on the original Mad Max poster.

Blind Sally posted:Want your immersion spoiled on the Toecutter crash clip? Watch it closely. The semi truck they got for the crash was rented or something, so they didn't want to damage it in the scene. So, they build a huge metal panel and painted it the same colour as the front of the truck for the bike to harmlessly crash into. The first bit of the clip clearly shows the semi truck bearing down on the camera. Then it cuts to the Toecutter's eyes popping out, then back to the truck--but this time it's the metal panel painted to look like the front of the truck. The lights are clearly painted on. In the scene from the side you can even see space between the metal panel and the truck, where it's hooked on. (Movie magic!) To be fair, its not really apparent until the truck gets much closer in the shot and you start to see the wonky paint lines that it becomes more obvious. Still a clever way of getting the scene shot.

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.

Not a lot of new news. Some interesting bits, though: An article on the decision to NOT film Mad Max: Fury Road in 3D: http://picha.com.au/why-mad-max-fury-road-wasnt-shot-in-3d/ Apparently the film contributed $374 million to the Namibian economy: http://www.madmax4-movie.com/community/forums/topic/1173. Includes a few new images of some cars and a creepy looking cast member. And, Warner has registered URLs for their rumoured/unannounced Mad Max tie-in game: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/400944/warner-registers-mad-max-game-domains/ quote:Three domains; MadMaxGame.com, MadMaxTheGame.com, and WorldGoneMadLegendOfMax.com (via AGB) were registered on April 10, and seemingly point to an unannounced game based on the Mad Max franchise. Although I sincerely hope the game doesn't wind up being titled "World Gone Mad: Legend of Max."

What ever happened to the Mad Max game headed by the God of War 2 guys? There was a lot of talk about back in 2008ish, where Miller and the lead designer were talking about having long meetings where they wrote a script and worked out ideas for a game and confirmed that it'd come out in 2011 near the release of Fury Road, but that obviously never materialized.

Ah, Mad Max. One of my favorite movie franchises. Such a shame how difficult it's been getting the latest film made.

He's the bigger of the two victims tied to the Humungus's car in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfL4xKQeSfo He gets tortured later in the film in the night montage before the final chase scene. Then, during the chase scene, he gets decapitated when Max brakes the truck to dislodge Wez from the roof--the Humungus's vehicle slams into the back of the tanker severing the victim's heads: http://youtu.be/8qcRgKuOU7Q?t=8m11s (actual decapitation occurs at 8:21) W/r/t the Humungus=Goose thing, it was my understanding that it came from an early draft of the script that was eventually dropped. A few hints remain that could really be taken either way. There's nothing concrete: -The Humungus's revolver case contains medals and a picture of some people, presumably a family heirloom, suggesting that he wasn't always -Close ups of his head show that he may have burn scars. Goose never died in Mad Max, but he did suffer some horrific 3rd degree burns. -There are a large number of people who seem to be wearing modified MFP uniforms in the gang, suggesting that Goose rounded up some disgruntled cops to go with him. -Also, The Humungus and Max never really meet, so we never get a chance to see if either recognize each other.

Has anyone had a chance to pick up the Mad Max Trilogy on Blu-Ray? My player is busted and I'm a bit short on cash to replace it so I haven't been able to check them out yet. I wondered if the quality of the newly released version of Road Warrior is better or worse than the original one. Basically, I'm wondering if I should re-buy the new version of the Road Warrior.

Whereas with Beyond Thunderdome we have another story of the Road Warrior done by everyone who was involved with the previous 2 movies. When we look at it that way we have a movie that isn't as great as The Road Warrior but it still stands on its own so yes, yes you should watch Beyond Thunderdome

I'm not sure if they understand Max and what separates him from the post-apocalyptic films that followed him from that trailer. Unless the dude was biker scum, he'd do everything in his power to save that guy, even if he justifies it by bargaining with him like he did at saving the tortured scout in Road Warrior.

I dont believe Max would do anything to save a single dying stranger. Not at that point, anyways (judging by the outfit/car, the game looks to be taking place before The Road Warrior)--his best friend was covered in third-degree burns, left breathing in a tube, his child was dead, and his wife was on life support, with doctors planning which organs they could "salvage" from her. He had gone on a revenge spree, murdering an entire gang of bikers before riding off into the desert. I'd say he's very much a pragmatist at that point. Mercy killing seems within character. Max is just a survivor at that point. Mercy killing with his car in order to save a bullet seems even more within character--saving precious ammunition. As you said, Max saved the injured scout in order to bargain him away for gasoline. Not the most noble motives, and it right angers the oil refiners, who chain him up. Max makes a second bargain and leaves once he has what he needs. It isn't until he's nearly killed, loses his car and dog, and is rescued that his heroic streak shines through, even if he is only offering himself up for a suicide mission. Regardless, it's hard to pass any sort of judgement on a 1:49 long trailer, so I'm just eager to hear it's been officially announced. EDIT: there's a website!

Blind Sally posted:EDIT: there's a website! I'm so giddy! http://www.madmaxgame.com/en-gb/ I hope it's accurate to the game, that the game ends up having shooting but is mostly "about" vehicular homicide. Guns are so common in video games that it would be cool if it was like Dishonored where using your shotgun was like the atomic bomb of the game. The premise going by the site is that marauders stole your Interceptor though so this is pre-Thunderdome I guess. I wonder if they'll ignore Thunderdome and have it lead into the new movie. Also I hope Bruce Spence voices and is motion captured for two different characters that are unrelated. Maybe that guy he runs over was one of the people who tried to take his car.  I love post apocalyptic stuff so much, to think this is the first official Mad Max game since the ambitious but poorly executed NES game. Fans may enjoy an underrated Midway title that was on PS2/Gamecube/Xbox called Roadkill for a silly but fun take on the premise. Thunderdome is great. It's goofy as hell but very enjoyable even if time grinds to a halt between the kids deciding to go to Bartertown and the kids arriving at Bartertown. That new trilogy is tempting. It still doesn't have the featurette that's on my Road Warrior VHS though and is missing a lot of stuff from MGM's rad as hell Mad Max DVD release. They supposedly made a noticeably huge improvement to the audio though across all three films. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jun 12, 2013 |

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Welp it looks like I'm going to be buying a vidja game for the first time in over a year. In these open world games when you hijack a vehicle you do it by going next to the vehicle and pressing a button. After you press the button a quick scene happens where your guy opens the door, kicks the driver/pilot out and you start driving. in Just Cause 2 you have to literally climb around/onto the vehicle, you can then shoot the driver through the windshield/cockpit and then climb in or you can get close enough and throw them out. Just the fact that they made the game so that you can and have to aim and fire weapons while on the hood of a vehicle or climbing around the cockpit of a helicopter and stuff like that makes them the best people ever to make a Mad Max game. Warner Bros. publishing doesn't hurt either. I'm interested to see what the game's setting is, if it ends up being tied into the this upcoming movie or if it's just set in the vague space of the first three movies (preferable so they don't have to stick to any particular canon and can do whatever). "Max's" outfit in the trailer is of course aping the earlier films if they're just dropping a teaser now who knows how it will end up. Man I actually forgot this movie was being made again until someone bumped this thread to talk about the video game. It's been a long road.

For me the problem with Thunderdome is that it feels a lot more artificial and Hollywood than the first two movies which derive a lot of their charm from the seat of their pants feel and cheap but believable production values. I felt very aware I was watching everything take place on a big budget set throughout most of Thunderdome and it just feels like a generic post apoc action movie, Tina Turner isn't bad but it just reinforces this feeling. The action and characters for the most part aren't good enough to make me like the tradeoff and the stuff with the kids is just bad. It's an ok cheesy action movie at best and just compares badly to the other two.

One of the guys falls head first and then while still sliding down the road it seriously looks like his head gets displaced for a second as one of the bikes collides with him, though according to the commentary he was fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk6oux_5w_g#t=1m33 Grant Page, the stuntman who gets clocked in the head in that clip, is indestructible. He's only ever broken one bone, his leg, while commuting to the Mad Max 1 set (his motorbike got hit by a truck). Which meant that he had to this stunt while driving with a leg in plaster.

At this point, the Golden Youth had already been killed and The Humungus had to choke him out to settle him down. He's upset that Wez runs off in his car to kill Max. They were there to siege a refinery, not settle petty scores with scavengers and cowards, like Max (really, let the survivalists run--The Humungus had already offered to let them "walk away"). Anyways, the line is actually "I'm very disappointed in you, puppy", as The Humungus had already referred to his soldiers as his "dogs of war."
