Howdy mad max thread I thought you were dead.

Skull designer was a crucial part of the crew. Did you see all the cool skulls? I liked the skull that you had to smash in order to get the glock hidden inside. Like a legends of the hidden temple puzzle.

Saw it 3 times in theaters & I saw the car showcase at the Sydney Opera House. All that flamethrower guitar and polecat stunts were awesome. The Doof Warrior is played by iOTA, who broke my heart when he did Hedwig & the Angry Inch. I went to a talk the production designer and War Rig designer gave. Most of the stuff they said is in the official art book, like how George Miller wanted a 747 mixed with a tank and for Furiosa to have a giant CGI crab claw. Production designer said he pushed for the low-tech one after seeing a Somali (or whatever) with a prosthetic roach clip. The War Rig was originally gonna be more womb-like with splashing amniotic blood on the sides. I asked why there were so many normal guns instead of the weird weapons from the Road Warrior, they said an SAS guy worked out that someone like Furiosa would have like 3 backup srts of weapons.

I'm not a fan of 'realism' but Fury Road was awesome. See Road Warrior too.

The best part was seeing it for the 3rd time with my Warhammer-loving little brother, who hadn't seen it. The look on his face when he saw the Doof Wagon...

Btw a real Doof wagon is just a van full of hippies

and the reason the Polecats wore those Borderlands masks was because there were only like 4 acrobats who could actually do those stunts. Same with the motorcyclists - they just got the best BMX riders and stuck masks on them.

Why did they get BMX riders to ride motorcycles? That is an odd choice.

I wish they did something cool with the awesome Gas Gas.

I'm probably misremembering. Whoever the guys who drive motorcycles are. I'm not much into gearhead stuff but Mad Max made me want to learn to drive. And huff paint.

Turns out huffing paint is a big problem in remote indigenous communities.

Anyone noticed the motorcycle pull chain on Furiosa's arm?

Read a whole bunch of great articles on Nux and toxic masculinity and how it felt to be a disabled woman watching it but I doubt GBS cares & CineD is talking about Chappie for some reason.

The comics turned Nux into a loveable dingus wannabe into a literal "chosen one" who was raised to be the perfect warboy and then somehow that all went to poo poo in the film as he bumbled his way to valhalla.

Joe dressing up his wives as Warboys when he fucks them, because apparently "all villains are secretly gay" even applies to the evil warlord whose sole motivation is loving his sexy harem ladies all day.

That didn't happen in the comic though. It's not a thing that actually happened, it's an accusation against him made by the wives that's not really true. At no point do we ever see Joe say, "hmm yes dress this wife as a war boy so that I may get a pathetic old man erection because I am secretly gay for my warboys", the wives just say that to piss him off and it's one of the few ways they have of striking back at him. Like when the Dag refers to Max as a "crazy smeg who eats schlanger", we're not supposed to wonder why we never see Max eating schlanger, it's just an insult.

It's like Die Antwoord convinced Blomkamp to remake District 9 but with robots and starring them the whole time. It poorly explores themes already better discussed in Short Circuit and Robocop.



Furthermore it lacks references to guzzoline.

quote:

Know what people like (and give it to them)
This is not rocket science, but you’ll be surprised how many businesses are not paying attention to what their customers want. Or worse, business owners are paying attention but aren’t doing anything about it. If you know what your target audience desires and needs, you need to find a way to answer this. In the case of Mad Max, this is car chases, jaw-dropping stunts, explosions and some bad-rear end independent women.
Build a team that fits your profile
Nobody goes to see Mad Max for its amazing character development, but it’s fair to say that the characters do hold up the Mad Max franchise: the ruggedly handsome Tom Hardy is well-cast as Max (though we do miss Mel Gibson) and a one-armed Charlize Theron is the perfect Furiosa. Look out for the parade of Aussie faces too…Megan gale, John Howard, Angus Sampson, Abbey Lees, Richard Carter and original Mad Maxer, Hugh Keays-Byrne, to name but a few.
Every person in your team represents and personifies your brand. So you need to consider whether their appearance, the way they speak and their manner convey the same message as your business. This doesn’t mean you need to hire clones of yourself – but should always hire people with the right attitude and behaviour in line with your brand and how things work in your business.
Offer something new and different whilst staying true to your core
Creating the fourth instalment of any movie franchise is a tough gig, but the creators of Mad Max had a particularly mammoth challenge. How could they possible add even more excitement to the trilogy that first captured our hearts in 1980? They achieve it by mining everything that we love about the Mad Max legacy and creating something that’s both familiar yet triumphantly new.
Take the time and energy to define your brand’s core values. This means figuring out what makes you different from your competition too. In everything you do, stay true to your core and don’t try to be something you’re not (Fury Road is a Mad Max film through and through). That way, even as you launch new products and services, you will maintain a strong, consistent brand.
Make everything look good
Fury Road delivers some of the most meticulously, gloriously staged and photographed scenes. Seriously, the apocalypse has never looked so good. And while you probably (!) don’t have the luxury of Miller’s budget, there are ways to ensure your brand looks good. Think about every place where consumers will get their first impression of your brand – a letterbox flyer, brochure or your website – and invest in professional design to make these elements really stand out. Check out our flyer design guide for more advice.
Now in the words of Goose, “You’ve seen it. You’ve heard it. And you’re still asking questions?”
