@@MoviesWithMarty Wow! Thanks for the reply.. one of the reasons your channel stood out to me was the trivia at the end. Us watchers of movie reactions usually have seen these movies many times, and are enjoying the feeling of "seeing it for the first time" through someone else's eyes. Yet the info you provide at the end really gives me even more new reasons to be excited by my favorite films. May I suggest " Quatermass and the Pit" also titled as "5 Million Years to Earth".. seems right up you alley. Cheers!
I won't lie, to me "the Road Warrior" is the best Mad Max Movie. Love your reaction and the trivia at the end. Btw, one more thing, continuity is a rather loose concept in the Mad Max Series.
Thank you so much Neal! Great to see you here again! I always appreciate you guys checking out both the reaction and the trivia and I'm glad people love them both. Yeah, I thought it might be, as it seems that in number 3 Bruce Spence's Gyro Captain doesn't seem to know Max... or at least isn't aknowledging him really being there anyway. It'd an odd choice, but the film still made me emotional! Thanks for being here and watching Neal. Have a lovely day
Ahh Gerald, at least you've seen them all though and seeing as continuity isn't too maintained, it'll mean that MM 1 was more of a prequel story for you. Thanks for watching!
This has been one of my favorite films since I saw it as a child. I personally think the opening monologue is one of the best bits of exposition to create the feel of a world in any movie. This one feels rooted in a sense of reality whereas Fury Road is an over the top/magical reality that takes me out of the story.
Fury Road is pure cinema. It's storytelling with motion. It's a masterpiece. However; Mad Max 2 feels like a documentary. It feels REAL. The Road Warrior will always be the best in the franchise IMHO.
The desert festival is called Burning Man. This is one of my favorite action films. It's still the best Mad Max film IMO. Sure, Fury Road is great. But this film has a rawness that suits the setting that Fury Road's big budget slickness lacks. George Miller said that he only got about 30% of what he wanted on the screen with the first film. He was actually surprised it was such a big hit. With Mad Max 2, he said he got over 80% of what he wanted on the screen. For an earlier post-apocalyptic film that I think influenced the look of this film, check out A Boy and His Dog from 1975. It's based on an award winning story by Harlan Ellison and starring Don Johnson. BTW, they would have to get the film developed before they could view the dailies. It's unlikely they would have developing facilities on location.
As a child of the 70's-80's, I CANNOT explain how powerful and yet PROPHETIC the opening of this movie was. Not just as a simple "iconic opening to an action film", but something that we could SEE happening in our life times. Now (in my early 50's) this opening STILL rings far more "true" than any current effort to copy it because of the fact that it IS so iconic, that attempting to "match it" feels too much like a "rip off" to be taken seriously.
@@drewpaupanekis4710 -- Well, I can accept the Xenophobic part due to having the Xenomorph from Alien and Aliens scaring us half to death, so the Xeno part makes sense. As far as homophobic? I don't really think that we cared one way or another. We just didn't want it constantly shoved into our face like it was some sort of badge of honor.

Once it became your weapon of choice to inflict your beliefs onto us without ANY questions being allowed to get asked, we had a problem with it. And probably why I still have real problems today when someone uses some kind of "identity based on lifestyle" as their club and shield to dictate how I am supposed to live my life, and can't ask questions without being labeled and "ist", "phobe" or "anti-". Well, that was just due to my formative years being spent by basically everyone around me telling me that their way of life was the "right way" and there was never any room for "doubt or questions", that I came to resent that form of "moral authority" over me.

I only recently discovered that George Miller had originally wanted the first Mad Max to take place in a more post-apocalyptic environment. Frankly, though, I think the pre-apocalyptic environment of the first movie really contributes both to the first movie's story and to the franchise. Seeing the fall of civilization reflected in the fall of one man, and the fall of one man reflected in the fall of civilization, seeing the last breath of the familiar world before being led into the next world, I think it just gave the whole thing more depth.
The director George Miller has said that only the first 3 films are related. The new one is a complete reboot. They're not in a nuclear wasteland they're just in the outback. Like the dying old man says in the opening narration "He wondered off into the wasteland." Which we assume most people did to survive once the cities and populated zones became too dangerous. Personally, I like to imagine that Fifi and the cops from the first film are still there fighting off gangs!) BTW, I loved the design of the various marauders in this film; there's vigilante police officers like Max, guys that look like ex-soldiers, then there's the whole weird s&m slave/master thing going on on between some of them... Kind of like the Germanic barbarians of the Dark Ages mixed with 80s rock culture, lol. Definitely unique.
@@SirHumphrey498 The original plan was that Humungus was Goose, but the idea was dropped as needless complication. I suspect though that it got far enough along that there might be a reference to the MFP with the photo in Humungus's gun case that we never get a clear look at. Maybe a group shot of the officers from the first movie.
Most of the costumes were made out of whatever junk they found in the attic. And interesting George Miller wrote biographies for every character even those guys with no lines, so that they knew what the character was about.
The Mad Max saga has some very curious things that set it apart from other types of sagas. 1. The continuity between movies is somewhat vague and it doesn't matter too much. 2. The secondary characters and villains are more interesting than Max himself. They even have their own arcs and evolutions. 3. The main character is dragged into situations where he is not the protagonist (Furiosa's plan in Fury Road or in this movie the escape of the guys from the refinery) 4. It has a very unique aesthetic that has set precedents and influences other works. 5. It has a somewhat pessimistic vision of the human condition in general, but more positive in particular. and it is curious when watching this movie, how much of them is maintained in the new Fury Road and Furiosa saga.
Hi ya Marty :) @32:00 The "bullets with ball bearings" are shotgun shells. The "helicopter thing" is an Autogyro, it can't hover and has to be moving forward to stay airborne, the main rotor isn't driven by the engine. They used one in a bond film.
Hi Martin! Great to see you again. Ahhh, that's it, yes! I knew I'd seen them before, but couldn't put my finger on what bullets they were. Thank you! Ah yes! I'd just got it in my head that the copters weren't real. I had to come to terms with them being real. Oh! I didn'tknow about one being in Bond, as I haven't seen any of the older Bond films as yet. I am planning to watch them on the channel at some point though. I love modern Bond and love the style of the older ones, from what I've seen. Thank you for watching!
@@MoviesWithMarty :) Thanks Marty, It's good to see you reacting to these films. You're in for a treat with the Bond movies then, I'll look out for your reactions to them. A good excuse for you to use your "english" accent :D. I think the bond autogyro is called "Little Bessie", I can't remember which film though. I need to catch up on your Dr Who reactions, but I'll get there. Stay well & all the best.
Not an autogyro, but a gryrocopter. An autogyro is like a monoplane with a helicopter mast on top. A gryocopter is a light 'motorcycle' style of proper helicopter.
@@Carandini No, it's an autogyro in CAA terms, "Gyrocopter" is a trade mark. Manufacturers call them gyroplanes. There is no difference in how they operate.
Yeah, same here. It's strange that this one became more popular. I thought 1 or 3 would have been more.. There's so many more memorable moments in the first. For me, although it's apparently the worst of the three, I also really liked number three for the nostalgic story scenes, when he's with the children. Reminds me so much of Hook too, or should I say Hook reminds me of Mad Max 3. It got to me so much, I got pretty emotional. Thank you for watching!
32:16 those aren’t bullets those are shotgun shells. There are different types of shotgun shells the most common shotgun shells are birdshot, which have a bunch of little tiny pellets inside the shell.
Same here! I think he would have been great. I can't remember much about Fury Road now, but they could have cast him as an older Max, having lived with the grief and loss and hardened by the years even more. It would have been a brilliant reprise of the role for him. Even if they only made that one extra film. Hopefully they do, somehow. I'm not even sure if they are making another one, but it will be interesting to see what they would do with another. Thank you for watching John! Always great to see a familiar face! I hope you're well my friend
Thanks Marty for kind words. I do have a request for you. I really think you deserve larger audience and subscribers,so you need to react you more popular movies from all over the world. Please start with RRR, 3 idiots. Then train to Busan, memories of murder, ....and many more.
These are some good movies from India and South Korea. I don't know if you have watched them. But if you do I am sure you will have some audience in those countries as well. And being a movie fan, myself, I would love to see your reaction to movies from all over the world.
Yes! That's the one. I'd heard about the tragedy. It was awful and right in front of the parents too... absolutely horrific. Honestly, I don't know how the filmmakers weren't prosecuted (At least I don't think they were, I haven't looked too much into it. Thanks for watching!
1. This is the best. Including "Fury Road" that proves there can be too much CGI. 2. The hot blonde chick the copter man was chasing😍😉 3. Max not staying with those people left the door open for another adventure. 4. Mel Gibson isn't Australian, he was born in Peekskill, NY 5. When Humongous gets his I go, "Couldn't happen to a nicer guy".😱
Yeah, I agree with Fury Road having too much CGI. It was like this film and 3 on steroids merged together. 2, yeah she was lovely and Gyro Captain definitely seemed happy. 3 I agree with as well, leaving it open for adventures was the better thing to do. Ah, I've heard about his Australian connection, but not sure what it exactly is. All I know is there is something there. Haha! Yes, it was pretty satisfying in a strange way. Thanks for watching!
the way to look at how things get more and more post apocalyptical is the amount of time that passes, the longer they live in this wasteland the worse it gets. They said that the amount of time between Thunderdome and Fury Road is the same as real world time that passed. This is why Fury Road is to far removed from where the first Mad Max took place.
Actually, apart from the first film, they are all stories from deep time. As such, details get a bit fuzzy. These are old memories and tales. They are fables of the legendary "Max" as told from the perspectives of 3 great societies that rose from the ashes as a direct result of interacting with him: The Great Northern Tribe, The peoples that repopulate Sydney, And the people of The Citidel. ... Not sure how the upcoming "Furiosa" will fit in, but I'm guessing (like Fury Road) it will be told from the perspective of a "History Man". So, another fable from deep time.
Great reaction, Marty!! This was the first Mad Max film that I watched and it remains my favorite of the six. I really liked the Gyro Captain and the Feral Kid characters. Bruce Spence later played the Mouth of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).
Thank you so much Gerald! Brilliant, glad to hear that I was able to watch a favourite of yours. Mad Max 3 will be coming soon too, which I also loved and got emotional with. Yeah, same here! Gyro Captain was fantastic, although I was a little disappointed in the next film for pretty much retconning Gyro and Max knowing one another. It was Bruce Spence too. Oh wow, I didn't realise that! I saw the films many years ago now, but just googled it and yeah! Amazing to see him still doing well in films and getting fairly big roles! Brilliant actor and as barmy as a box of frogs in this one haha. Thank you for watching Gerald!
Yeah, from what I know there are only four. Could have been a typo, although I have noticed a few others saying more than four which is odd. Wait, they're making a prequel to a Mad Max film, without the titled character in it. Amazing... I can't imagine it will work well. Then again, I may be wrong. Thank you for watching Richard! I hope you're well
@@MoviesWithMarty it's a prequel about Charlize Theron's character in Fury Road, Furiosa. Theron isn't in it either. Another actress is playing a younger version of her.
This was released o'seas as "The Road Warrior" because no one saw Mad Max the original so distirbutors thought how can they market "2" when no one knows of "1"
That's not true. I live in the US and I saw Mad Max, so when The Road Warrior came along I suspected it was a sequel. As it turned out I was right. The weird thing about the American version of Mad Max is that it was dubbed with American voices, which sounded weird as hell in some places. I think the only actor who dubbed his own voice in an American accent was Mel.
Great reaction, Marty 👏.. I'm glad you liked Beyond Thunderdome, being set around 18 years after the events of The Road Warrior Max discovers the " crack of the earth ",,where the lost children reside.. Fan base debate whether Max still has the last of the V8 in the Camel wagon that Master Blaster fought Max for in the Thunderdome, but the biggest debate is whether it's the Gyro Captain or not, who knows 🤷 ... . . .. The least of the fan favorite, being the only film in the franchise with a PG 13 rating.. Producer Byron Kennedy lost his life in a tragic helicopter accident on a location scout. . Miller losing his desire to finish MM3 , Miller hired another director to help with the film 🙏 😢👋👍🌄🎬😎🖐📸
Great reaction Marty! I think the first Mad Max does something more for me personally but this is a perfect sequel. Hope you like the 3rd one just as much.
Thank you! Hopefully at some point I will get around to watching the Robocop fimls (not sure how many there are) - It really is! Thank you for watchng Vlad, much appreciated. Have a lovely day
Thank you so much Marla! It's lovely to see you here again too, I always appreciate you taking the time to check out my videos. Haha yes! I think I seem to add a little humour into those kinds of moments you wouldn't expect. Aww, I really appreciate that! Mad Max 3 will be coming soon, where I get very emotional.... not before we get our funny bones tickled by Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace though! Thank you as always for watching and I hope you're well and having a lovely day
Yeah, I've been wondering that... I'm not sure. If you find the answer, please let me know! From what I can tell, they use that tune again in Mad Max 3 (I've watched it, but yet to edit it)
George Miller took Mad Max 3 in a different direction. But there is one scene, 5 minutes or so in, that confirms a nuclear apocalypse. And further confirmation throughout...
Sucks we didnt get Mel Gibson in the 4th Mad Max movie that was originally supposed to be made in 2001 before it got canceled. Fury Road was good but i didn't buy Tom Hardy as Max. Some characters just shouldn't be recast and Max Rockatansky is one of those characters.
Yeah, it seems none of them are linked to be fair. I didn't realise that after only this one, although after 3 I very much realise this. Thank you though, personally I much prefer these original films to the newer one. I hope you're well Sean! Thanks for watching
This is by far the best mad max even fury road was going to be filmed in Aus however it rain and was shit in Namibia still decent but nothing comes close to 2nd beyond thunder dome was the worst by a mile so crap only action was when master blaster fought max the rest was a snooze fest.
It was interesting to hear a pov of someone who saw the reboot (Fury Road) first. I am one of those old Mad Max fans who is very dismissive of the current gen cartoony surreal CGI stuff in Fury Road, but I guess its not that bad to have a version for everyone.
@@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797 Not even close mate. How can you not distinguish a CGI from a practical effect? And practical effects it did have weren't simply cables and tracks being erased,, no sir - EVERY stunt was heavily embellished by CGI, added debris, loads of, additional vehicles in action not just somewhere in background, additional people, CGI stuntmen - in action, most explosions etc. Almost every background or foreground was fake. I'm not even getting into the sandstorm Marvel level bs. It was made for 3D remember that. EVERY SINGLE stunt was CGI-ised to oblivion, outside the jarring Instagram filter on top of it all. So the fact it did have many practical stunts that were then completely overwhelmed with CG is not really defending the film mate...It looked as fake as 300.
@@Carandini We'll never know what Beyond Thunderdome could've been if it wasn't for a tragic death of a producer B.Kennedy, and subsequent withdrawal of G.Miller. Also, since Fury Road ''borrows'' from it so heavily, I'm surprised you'd be that harsh. Also, even though it goes without saying, non CGI race from the end of Thunderdome is miles ahead that orange MTV video from 2015.
Tom Hardy was not the right choice for Mad Max. Fury road was a bloated, creepy, Hollywoodized mess. Everything was over the top and Hugh Keys-Byrne deserved to play a better villain. I just sat there in the theater looking like I’m smelling bad fish.
I don't know about what most Americans saw, but I saw Mad Max in theaters. They'd dubbed all the voices with American accents. If you ever get a chance to see that version it's worth it just for how weird it sounds. 😅
Back when movies were movies and not cheap, crappy, CGI, no story line, more CGI, fight scene, uber long close up face shot, CGI fight scene, THE END type of movies. Society is a farce.
"The vermin have inherited the Earth" is actually what is written down the side of the trailer and truck.

I can't remember much about Fury Road now, but they could have cast him as an older Max, having lived with the grief and loss and hardened by the years even more. It would have been a brilliant reprise of the role for him. Even if they only made that one extra film. Hopefully they do, somehow. I'm not even sure if they are making another one, but it will be interesting to see what they would do with another.
Thank you for watching John! Always great to see a familiar face! I hope you're well my friend
Thanks Marty for kind words. I do have a request for you. I really think you deserve larger audience and subscribers,so you need to react you more popular movies from all over the world. Please start with RRR, 3 idiots. Then train to Busan, memories of murder, ....and many more.
These are some good movies from India and South Korea. I don't know if you have watched them. But if you do I am sure you will have some audience in those countries as well. And being a movie fan, myself, I would love to see your reaction to movies from all over the world.
There's only one Twilight Zone movie, and there was a deadly incident with a chopper.
Yes! That's the one. I'd heard about the tragedy. It was awful and right in front of the parents too... absolutely horrific. Honestly, I don't know how the filmmakers weren't prosecuted (At least I don't think they were, I haven't looked too much into it.
Thanks for watching!
1. This is the best. Including "Fury Road" that proves there can be too much CGI.
2. The hot blonde chick the copter man was chasing😍😉
3. Max not staying with those people left the door open for another adventure.
4. Mel Gibson isn't Australian, he was born in Peekskill, NY
5. When Humongous gets his I go, "Couldn't happen to a nicer guy".😱
I thought I'd heard something similar before. Thanks for that! Gotta love Ireland (my Dad's side is Irish)
Yeah, I agree with Fury Road having too much CGI. It was like this film and 3 on steroids merged together.
2, yeah she was lovely and Gyro Captain definitely seemed happy.
3 I agree with as well, leaving it open for adventures was the better thing to do.
Ah, I've heard about his Australian connection, but not sure what it exactly is. All I know is there is something there.
Haha! Yes, it was pretty satisfying in a strange way.
Thanks for watching!
The best of the bunch.
It's certainly a great film! After now seeing all three, I quite like 3 for it's storytelling scenes as well. Thank you for watching!
the way to look at how things get more and more post apocalyptical is the amount of time that passes, the longer they live in this wasteland the worse it gets. They said that the amount of time between Thunderdome and Fury Road is the same as real world time that passed. This is why Fury Road is to far removed from where the first Mad Max took place.
Actually, apart from the first film, they are all stories from deep time. As such, details get a bit fuzzy. These are old memories and tales.
They are fables of the legendary "Max" as told from the perspectives of 3 great societies that rose from the ashes as a direct result of interacting with him:
The Great Northern Tribe,
The peoples that repopulate Sydney,
And the people of The Citidel.
...
Not sure how the upcoming "Furiosa" will fit in, but I'm guessing (like Fury Road) it will be told from the perspective of a "History Man".
So, another fable from deep time.
Not sure why people treat Fury Road as a direct sequel - looks more of a re-imagining
@@Paul_1971 probably because the director said it is
Great reaction, Marty!! This was the first Mad Max film that I watched and it remains my favorite of the six. I really liked the Gyro Captain and the Feral Kid characters. Bruce Spence later played the Mouth of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).
I'm only aware of four Mad Max films. Though I know they're making a prequel to Fury Road. But I don't think Max is in it.
Thank you so much Gerald! Brilliant, glad to hear that I was able to watch a favourite of yours. Mad Max 3 will be coming soon too, which I also loved and got emotional with. Yeah, same here! Gyro Captain was fantastic, although I was a little disappointed in the next film for pretty much retconning Gyro and Max knowing one another. It was Bruce Spence too.
Oh wow, I didn't realise that! I saw the films many years ago now, but just googled it and yeah! Amazing to see him still doing well in films and getting fairly big roles!
Brilliant actor and as barmy as a box of frogs in this one haha.
Thank you for watching Gerald!
Yeah, from what I know there are only four. Could have been a typo, although I have noticed a few others saying more than four which is odd. Wait, they're making a prequel to a Mad Max film, without the titled character in it. Amazing... I can't imagine it will work well. Then again, I may be wrong.
Thank you for watching Richard! I hope you're well
@@MoviesWithMarty it's a prequel about Charlize Theron's character in Fury Road, Furiosa. Theron isn't in it either. Another actress is playing a younger version of her.
@@richardb6260Sorry, Guys, I don't know why I typed six. Four is the number. I guess I was referring to my IQ.
This is set three years after the original Mad Max.
This was released o'seas as "The Road Warrior" because no one saw Mad Max the original so distirbutors thought how can they market "2" when no one knows of "1"
That's not true.
I live in the US and I saw Mad Max, so when The Road Warrior came along I suspected it was a sequel.
As it turned out I was right.
The weird thing about the American version of Mad Max is that it was dubbed with American voices, which sounded weird as hell in some places.
I think the only actor who dubbed his own voice in an American accent was Mel.
Great reaction, Marty 👏.. I'm glad you liked Beyond Thunderdome, being set around 18 years after the events of The Road Warrior Max discovers the " crack of the earth ",,where the lost children reside.. Fan base debate whether Max still has the last of the V8 in the Camel wagon that Master Blaster fought Max for in the Thunderdome, but the biggest debate is whether it's the Gyro Captain or not, who knows 🤷 ... . . .. The least of the fan favorite, being the only film in the franchise with a PG 13 rating.. Producer Byron Kennedy lost his life in a tragic helicopter accident on a location scout. . Miller losing his desire to finish MM3 , Miller hired another director to help with the film 🙏 😢👋👍🌄🎬😎🖐📸
Great reaction Marty! I think the first Mad Max does something more for me personally but this is a perfect sequel. Hope you like the 3rd one just as much.
32:13 Shotgun shells.
Let's be honest Fury Road is a remake of Mad Max 2 and 3 put together, it's pretty similar, they took a little bit from each movie.
Let's be honest that Fury Road was rubbish when compared to the original trilogy. 😂
Great! It is very interesting to see your reaction to the films Robocop and Robocop 3. This is a cool classic 👍🔥
Thank you! Hopefully at some point I will get around to watching the Robocop fimls (not sure how many there are) - It really is! Thank you for watchng Vlad, much appreciated. Have a lovely day
Perfectly! He will be waiting for your reactions to all three Robocop films. It's going to be really cool. Thank you ;)
The gyro pilot does voice a shark in finding Nemo.
So good to see you, I laughed at your 4:30 reaction, surprising and funny. So ten out of ten.
Thank you so much Marla! It's lovely to see you here again too, I always appreciate you taking the time to check out my videos. Haha yes! I think I seem to add a little humour into those kinds of moments you wouldn't expect. Aww, I really appreciate that! Mad Max 3 will be coming soon, where I get very emotional.... not before we get our funny bones tickled by Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace though!
Thank you as always for watching and I hope you're well and having a lovely day
what song was his wife playing on sax in the first film ? ... that's the key.
Yeah, I've been wondering that... I'm not sure. If you find the answer, please let me know! From what I can tell, they use that tune again in Mad Max 3 (I've watched it, but yet to edit it)
I did love the third movie a lot!
George Miller took Mad Max 3 in a different direction. But there is one scene, 5 minutes or so in, that confirms a nuclear apocalypse. And further confirmation throughout...
*shotgun shells
This movie depicts the most likely outcome of ww3. Anarchy, recycled clothes,vehicles from the old from the old world. People breaking up into tribes.
I hate to be a downer but the most likely result of a nuclear war is that everybody would die.
Sucks we didnt get Mel Gibson in the 4th Mad Max movie that was originally supposed to be made in 2001 before it got canceled. Fury Road was good but i didn't buy Tom Hardy as Max. Some characters just shouldn't be recast and Max Rockatansky is one of those characters.
Fury road has nothing to do with 1,2, and 3 it's a crappy attempt to redo 12:25
Yeah, it seems none of them are linked to be fair. I didn't realise that after only this one, although after 3 I very much realise this. Thank you though, personally I much prefer these original films to the newer one. I hope you're well Sean! Thanks for watching
This is by far the best mad max even fury road was going to be filmed in Aus however it rain and was shit in Namibia still decent but nothing comes close to 2nd beyond thunder dome was the worst by a mile so crap only action was when master blaster fought max the rest was a snooze fest.
It was interesting to hear a pov of someone who saw the reboot (Fury Road) first. I am one of those old Mad Max fans who is very dismissive of the current gen cartoony surreal CGI stuff in Fury Road, but I guess its not that bad to have a version for everyone.
It was like 90% practical effects.
Most of the CGI was used to clean it up, erase wires, or tracks from previous shots, etc.
@@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797 Not even close mate. How can you not distinguish a CGI from a practical effect? And practical effects it did have weren't simply cables and tracks being erased,, no sir - EVERY stunt was heavily embellished by CGI, added debris, loads of, additional vehicles in action not just somewhere in background, additional people, CGI stuntmen - in action, most explosions etc. Almost every background or foreground was fake. I'm not even getting into the sandstorm Marvel level bs. It was made for 3D remember that. EVERY SINGLE stunt was CGI-ised to oblivion, outside the jarring Instagram filter on top of it all. So the fact it did have many practical stunts that were then completely overwhelmed with CG is not really defending the film mate...It looked as fake as 300.
Whatever you want to say, Fury Road's a better movie than the worthless Thunderdome.
@@Carandini We'll never know what Beyond Thunderdome could've been if it wasn't for a tragic death of a producer B.Kennedy, and subsequent withdrawal of G.Miller. Also, since Fury Road ''borrows'' from it so heavily, I'm surprised you'd be that harsh. Also, even though it goes without saying, non CGI race from the end of Thunderdome is miles ahead that orange MTV video from 2015.
@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797 This is a myth.
Gyro copter
Tom Hardy was not the right choice for Mad Max. Fury road was a bloated, creepy, Hollywoodized mess. Everything was over the top and Hugh Keys-Byrne deserved to play a better villain. I just sat there in the theater looking like I’m smelling bad fish.
It was only marketed as The Road Warrior and most US audiences hadn’t heard of the first one.
IMHO it’s the best of the series.
They’re shotgun shells
I don't know about what most Americans saw, but I saw Mad Max in theaters.
They'd dubbed all the voices with American accents.
If you ever get a chance to see that version it's worth it just for how weird it sounds. 😅
Your mocking of the voice over got me to turn you off in just under a minute.
Well done
Your reaction and editing is too choppy. After 2 minutes and 39 seconds I can't take anymore.,
Back when movies were movies and not cheap, crappy, CGI, no story line, more CGI, fight scene, uber long close up face shot, CGI fight scene, THE END type of movies.
Society is a farce.
React n not over react..theres a difference...ya goofy m8te from Australia 0 hurry up for the 3rd..its great
