fun fact Mary the vilain in this one(immortal Joe) is the same actor of the main vilain of the first Mad Max is name is Hugh Keyes Byrne(=thumbs up already and love from Portugal as usual
In Road Warrior Mel Gibson had only 16 lines of dialogue , Tom Hardy in this has , 52 lines , but people have complied that Tom Hardy has no dialogue in Fury Road. Mel Gibson would have done this role if filming would have started as planned 2003 , he did mer Tom Hardy before filming started and said hes too old to be Max again . It does show that Director and two main actors did not get along during filming and they did not see directors vision of this film .
He is a great actor. He is in the Farscape series as the character Grunslik. The character is a untrustworthy business manager that works with the alien doctors that exist in the series.
Re: The quietness of Max. In the beginning of the film he's barely human. Just an 'instinct to survive'. Practically an animal. As he interacts with Furiosa, the Wives, Nux, and The Many Mothers, he begins to talk more, and talk more coherently- He's becoming human again. It's not until he sacrifices for Furiosa (his blood), someone he's grown close to, that he actually 'has a name' again. It's the only time he refers to himself as 'Max'. He's regained his humanity, but he hasn't atoned quite yet. So at the end, once more 'human', he can go out again and try.
I also think of it as George himself said it. Max is a legend, is a mythos in this world. Every movie is a different iteration of Max cause is told from different points of view (except from the first one) and this is just another story to add to the legend. Max is not the main protagonist, is jut the cataclist, the thing that moves the story forward, the protagonist are the ones around him, who surround him and make the world greater and more violent, these are their stories, max just gets in the way and leaves. He doesn't speak much in this one or in the second one casue he doesn't need to. The others do the speaking for him. That's why these two are the best Mad Max films. He is just there, to help orth move the story but not to be the focus.
I think the oversaturation was a great choice, actually. Almost every other post-apocalyptic world undersaturates the images, so this is a nice change and literally highlights the intensity of the environment in which they're living.
I agree! Totally respect Mary's right to have another opinion, but to me the color grading is possibly the best, unique, element of the film! It really helps illustrate how everything in this world is dialed up to 11, the fanaticism, vehicles, weapons, weather, disease, everything is balls-to-the-wall.
I think the video she was watching or the settings on her player were messed up. The movie is saturated, but looking at the clips she's watching it looks way too much.
I feel the over saturation works because at that phase of the post apocalyptic world, the over saturation represents how hot the world has gotten and that what keeps ppl alive is survival and rage. if it was grainy and gray means that people have not used the emotion of rage and anger to survive, not to mention the movie is literally called FURY road.. the saturated red represents the survival mechanism of that world.
The movie got 10 Oscar nominations and won 6 of them, which I believe is a record for most wins for an Australian film. George Miller got a Best Director nomination, but lost to Alejandro G. Inarritu for THE REVENANT (Best Picture went to SPOTLIGHT that year).
@@noahpeterlin4235 too close to call :) but as George C Scott said when he didnt bother to show to get his trophy .. its just a meaningless popularity contest anyways :)
All of it's nominations were for technical achievement, it was not nominated for acting or story. I think the criticisms Mary makes are correct. On a technical level it's a great movie but the character of Mad Max, the actor who plays Mad Max and the story are inferior to the previous Mad Max films (including Mad Max 1)
Max had 16 lines of dialogue in "The Road Warrior" and had 60 in "Fury Road" so he actually has more in this movie than Road Warrior. It's hard for anyone, and I mean anyone to beat Mel Gibson in almost any role, no matter who replaced him.
I reckon the reason Max is so few of words in this film is because of everything that he has already gone through. If you remember all the other Mad Max movies, even when he wins, he loses, because he always winds up by himself, wandering off somewhere else, even when all the other good guys get away. And you see in this movie all of the ghosts he is dealing with. None of those ghosts are from any of the other films, by the way. Those are just countless other people Max has failed in the past, from other times, who are all now haunting him. So the reason he barely talks is probably an indication of just how over the edge he is. He is, by this point, teetering on the brink of full-on madness, and only helping other people, by this point, keeps him level, mentally. That's my theory, anyway. I thought Max was fine not talking much, honestly. In this movie, he didn't really need to say much. His actions did all the talking for him.
I love Hardy's Max. It's a very nuanced performance. In the beginning, he's like a feral dog. You can tell from the opening monologue on, that he's been living mostly in solitude, even questioning his own sanity and that of the world around him which has plunged into further madness. I doubt he has held an actual conversation with someone in a very long time. Him not speaking much is very intentional. In fact, the thing that makes this film such a masterclass in filmmaking is that every single frame was crafted with intention. The story is told through the details and the performances. This is a throwback to the silent film era, when directors had to convey meaning through visuals alone and that is also why so many of those films are consider classics because it is much more difficult to tell a story without exposition. Miller in fact wrote and filmed Fury Road so that it could be viewed as a silent film. There's a black and white version available (Black and Chrome), which Miller wanted to release in silent format (score only). It really solidifies how masterful this film truly is.
Mad Max Fury Road is an absolute master class of visual storytelling. They're making a prequel titled "Furiosa" by the same director, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth
Seconding this regarding the storytelling. There is a lot of story here, just not a lot of words spoken. If you're shutting your brain off through the action scenes and waiting for characters to start talking for story progression, you're going to miss a lot.
@@hudsonkane8551 It pretty much was called Furisosa road, Fury road. This was her story in the Mad Max universe. Well, her first one, seems the next one is her early life.
Some of my favorite things about this movie, the way the language has evolved through the apocalypse, Guzzolene, kamakrazie, aquacola. All those things make so much sense in the way the world has developed. Nux character slowly gains more color tone to his skin as the movie progresses and he stops blindly following Joe. The use of practical effects over cgi in most of the scenes. How Furiosas amputation is not shown as a weakness, but is just a fact. They ACTUALLY built the vehicles and they ACTUALLY drive. So dope.
@@luxurybuzz3681 Not for the actual stunts. The CG was mainly used to create the environments they're in, and add a few stylistic touches (flying steering wheel, etcetera). But the Behind the Scenes show that they really did have people on poles throwing firebombs, there really was a guy dangling from a truck playing the guitar (he's married to one of the Brides now).
The thing about Mad Max as an overall saga is that Max is not the hero. He's the character who makes it possible for the real hero of the story to achieve their goal, and through doing that gets a piece of his soul back.
During the attack, Max's PTSD ghost visions are helping him more than they're hurting him. He moved his hand in front of his face just in time to block the arrow heading for his skull, and the voice of the ghosts are now telling him not to quit. It's almost as if the ghosts, while upset, recognize that he did try his best, and want to help him survive.
They have to use their mouths because it has to be aerated so that the fuel can travel through the intake pipes. The intake pipes are designed to take in air for combustion but adding fuel helps it, so they need the air to mix with the fuel so it can travel the pipe.
Nux's arc over film is beautiful. From a fanatic cult member willing to die for Joe and needing all the witnesses to see it to dying to save one person, and only needing her to see it. This was SO good in theaters for the action but also the story told mostly without words, a largely lost art these days. The insanity of shooting this is mind blowing. Being able to direct your eye through complex fights so that you know where everyone is without feeling lost is also next level talent. Some of Hollywood's best directors and editors had nothing but praise and respect for this movie. Totally cool if it's not your favorite... it does have a tendency to grow on you as you think about it.
There's a great quote I read about Max in the movies- he's not a character, he's a cheat code. If you suffer long enough in the wastelands, Max will appear to help you and then move on.
Fun fact: Capable (the red-headed girl) is played by Riley Keough, Elvis’s granddaughter. Also, she is married to one of the stuntmen who plays the flame-throwing guitarist in this movie!
For me by the time the series gets to Beyond Thunderdome Max is a mythic folk hero similar to the American gunslinger in Westerns. Max emerges from the desert and arrives in a place and to a people who desperately need a hero, and once the day is won he disappears back into the wastes. Because he isn't entirely present at the start or the finish of the story we're not necessarily seeing the story from his point of view so much as we're seeing it from the point of view of the people he's saved; it accounts for Max not being entirely the same person from film to film as well as for the fact that the series can continue without him aging.
There is a theory that this Max is not the original but the feral kid who appears in the second film. The boy adopted the name of his hero. This theory makes more sense to me.
Its really the only way it makes sense to me. Furiosa is clearly around Maxs age and had to be born around or after the Apocalypse since she as already in the whole post apocalypse society deal. The old woman is the only one who talks about the old world. So youd expect Max to be HER age not Furiosas age. If Mel Gibson played Max again here it wouldve made more sense. But as it is, either Max stopped aging, or its a different dude.
Only thing that doesn’t work is that the voices in Max’s head refer to him by his full name, and he mentions he used to be a cop in the opening narration, neither of which he ever disclosed in The Road Warrior.
Here is the plot synopsis of Mad Max Fury Road. Mad Max Fury Road is a documentary of an average milk run on a random Sunday in a remote Australian country town.
The child max sees in his visions is called Glory. Max couldn't save her or her mother Hope. (In the recent video game and comics). She is the grand daughter of Ms Giddy the history woman
Well, just the comic book (written by Miller), the video game is not connected to the films (stated by the developers) and neither of them are recent (both came out in 2015). You know I can't blame her for thinking that she was one of the Lost Kids from the 3rd film because that's what I thought too since the film tells us nothing about her. Most thought she's was Max's daughter even though he clearly had a son.
@@404ServerError the other cool part is that each story has a different storyteller. All the stories of Max can be a bit different because they're legends remembered by different people. The road warrior is told by the feral child, thunderdome was Savanah if i remember correctly, fury road was likely furiousa's tell.
Imagine some rock band that literally got started in their backyard then suddenly had a reunion decades later to revisit their breakout hit and give it the Grand Opera treatment. That's Mad Max Fury Road.
It's most telling at that climactic point. It wasn't Max. It was Furiosa on her knees in tears - THAT shot tells us whose movie this was in Mad Max Tales from the Wasteland.
Apparently Max has 63 lines of dialogue in this film, while having 16 lines in The Road Warrior. Although the film overall still has about half the word count as a normal film its length, which is why it feels so sparse overall. But the director had the entire film storyboarded before a single line of the script was written, iirc. He wanted the film to be understandable with visuals alone.
I was a bit disappointed when I went to see this in the theater, because I remember when the original "teaser trailer" was made public, and it was absolutely amazing, some of the scenes that were shot. However, a very large portion of the film had to be re-shot after a winter break, as the landscape had drastically changed to the point that it no longer looked the same, and many of the original chase scenes (one involving one of those giant ore hauling dump trucks used in open pit mines - with tied-up people hanging from the rear of it!) had to be cut, when they were forced to move production from Australia to Africa. Also, the reason Mel Gibson didn't star in this (he originally signed up for it), is because he was still married at the time, and his wife didn't want him to do another one - and he kept his promise to her, even after the divorce. It's rumored that he did have a un-credited cameo in it, but I haven't spotted him yet.
The reason why so many people loved that movie is that it was breath of fresh air. Every single big blockbuster which came out around that time was 80% CGI. Here 95% of the stunts are practical and one can easily tell. And practical effects and stunts trump CGI. And yes, there were quite a few people pissed off that the action was shifted from Max to Furiosa or that his car was destroyed at the very opening of the movie, but the entire atmosphere that was built around the story more than made up for it. The old movies were great, but they were products of their time. This was executed perfectly when talking about cinematography. And it's even a miracle we got to see it. It was put on hold multiple times. Originally they wanted to film all the way back in 1999, then 2003, then 2007, then 2009. There are legendary tales of how badly mannered Hardy was at the shootings in the desert - showing up late with hours, not knowing the few lines he had, they constantly argued with Charlize. But at the end by some miracle or touch of God they managed to pull it off. The last thing is that this movies just Interstellar or Top Gun Maverick just has to be seen in a theater. The big screen and the sound most of all is on a whole another level.
I was 11 when this came out and it was the first Mad Max movie I saw. It had a badass female protagonist with a disability, and as a girl with a disability, it was a level of representation I wasn't used to seeing. Tom Hardy as Max was just fine with me, since I had nothing to compare his performance to, and Furiosa was my instant heroine. I later watched the rest of the Mad Max films, and I did like Max better with Mel Gibson in the role, but the earlier movies as a whole didn't strike a chord with me as much as Fury Road did. My ranking of the movies would be in reverse release order. 4, 3, 2, 1.
There's a gorgeous black & white version of this film, dubbed the "Black & Chrome" edition, that's worth a watch at some point. If you get a chance to read the book about the making of this film, it's really interesting. It was all shot in Africa and was a really hard shoot, with the actors not fully understanding what George was going after much of the time, and Tom Hardy and Charlize did NOT get along, and producers had to be flown out from LA to intervene. The studios almost shut production down multiple times. Ultimately, it was George's wife - who edited the film - who really shaped it together and made it what it was: one of the greatest action films of all time.
There IS a black and white version of this movie, if the color saturation is too distracting. As far as making it grainy is concerned: One thing you don't really get when 'filming' with a digital camera is grain. The grain would have to be added in post production as a special effect. They'd have to create a grain effect long enough not to loop or, doubtless, people would spot the repetition and complain about it taking them out of the movie.
Many of the characters from the War Boys to the various warlords are all deformed in some way implied to be due to radiation poisoning, likely from nuclear fallout or similar in the environment. Hence, Nux’s tumors. Even Splendid, the pregnant wife, had some facial scarring, but the wives are probably (for now anyways) showing the least obvious deformities.
This is one of my faves, but your opinion makes sense to me: I think people liked this movie more as a standalone film than as Mad Max 4, so if you wanted something more like the other three in the series, and not just "a great action movie that happens to involve Mad Max", I get how this might not necessarily be your favourite!
26:50 - "Why can't they directly spray it in? Why do they have to put it in their mouths?" Because the fuel needs to be 'aerosolized', eg, made 'vaporous'. It's the combination in the right ratio of fuel and oxygen that creates the intense burn. Fuel is the ignition source, but it's actually oxygen that burns. Shooting fuel in a steam will actually soak and dampen effect of combustion, by restricting the proportional volume of oxygen around the ignition source. Fuel in spray droplets exposes vastly more surface area to ignite and the air between the droplets can burn unhindered. It's actually a common mistake in arson cases, where the arsonist will saturate objects with fuel, thinking it will make a better fire, but it's possible to wet something with enough fuel that it slows the fire down and even creates unburnt patches at the saturation point. It's one thing they look for in criminal investigations in unexplained fires.
I never saw any of the previous Mad Max movies, and I feel like that actually works in this film's favor. It makes Max himself much more of a mystery, this ambiguous character who is almost just an observer of what happens, and even at the end we don't know what becomes of him. The idea of making the titular protagonist play a comparatively passive role in the movie was a very interesting choice, and it plays into how the film mystifies the world and whatever happened to it. Plus, you know, it's just goddamn awesome to watch.
The reason there are so many characters with different accents is because this movie doesn’t take place in Australia. It takes place in the middle of what used to be the Pacific Ocean.
@@fusionaddict In the game maybe, it can be differen area from the movie, but from info i've read, The movie takes place in Wasteland - former Australia's Outback
18:23 -- Hi Mary.. I did a little research to find out what they were spraying the actors with on set.. Obviously you couldn't spray someone with chrome paint or even chrome body paint, so after an email back and forth with someone who worked on the makeup effects crew, they said the spray is made by a company called Wilton and it's for cake decorating.
The colour grading in this movie is great. It goes to a different style on how a post apocalyptic world is presented. But makes you feel the heat of the desert and makes it more interesting. A more darker or desaturated or even realistic colour could have made the desert boring after a while.
This is not a sequel or follow up of the first three films. Technically this is starting a reboot franchise. In Miller's (director) own words it's a 'revisit'. So, his (Max) memories and hallucinations are due to some events similar to the original trilogy starring Gibson. But, there is a whole lot of things described in the cannon. So, actually this is not the same Max. Just a different version.
I love Tom Hardy in this one, but it seems it wasn't a pleasant shoot for him, and that might have hurt his performance. As he admitted later during promotional interviews, he didn't get along Charlize Theron and he couldn't understand what Miller was attempting with the film, probably because they spent the bulk of the time doing action scenes and not dialogue. He did apologize to Miller and Theron after he saw the finished film, and understood that the action was actually the plot. These things aside, I think this was a terrific Mad Max film, and one of the best times I've always had in a theatre. Miller took what worked in the previous films, distilled and then with the help of a bigger budget gave us a two hour long chase that also manages to push the series onward. Deepest respect to this 70s old director who knows more about filmmaking than more popular directors.
Love this movie. Was great in theaters! Hardy is one of my favorite actors(and apparently someone I favor lol) he was perfect as Max. Totally surprised you didn’t like him, he fits. Hope we get another. They do have a Furiosa spin-off (a prequel I think) coming. Joe was a cool looking bad guy played by the villain from the first movie(rip).
For story over action: absolutely true 100%. This is a pure action movie. It's a 90 minute chase, through and through - a post-apocalyptic version of Speed. I remember reading that George Miller had said something along the lines of "it's best not to take the four movies as one constant universe, but more like someone telling stories they heard from years ago about a guy wandering around." This may or may not fall in continuity with the 3 previous, it might be somewhere in the middle or some-such. Not sure how accurate that is to Miller's intention just something I remember reading. As far as it being a pure action film: one of the best I've ever seen. As more of a story driven film yeah it falls a bit short, but that wasn't the intention so it's one of those "Have to go in without prior expectations other than to enjoy an adrenaline ride" kinda things. That said: How DARE you like the more story driven films! 😝🤣
I don’t think it falls short in the story telling department. It’s 1) the story of Furiosa’s redemption and 2) lost people finding their humanity in the barren wasteland. The action does overtake a lot, but imo it’s a really fantastic story.
so it's theorized this movie takes place BEFORE thunderdome, not after- like the tie-in comics state- because if it does, then timeline of max's life get really messed up. the director stated, in the dvd track of TD, some 15yrs had passed between RW and TD. the best way to tell the passage of time [between RW and TD],was how the cars looked. in TD, almost all of the cars were rusted out and were just frames with engines. also, everything was running on methane, not gasoline [as there was extremely little left]. in FR, were tons of cars and bikes running on gas [from gas town]. also, the cars and bikes weren't just frames with engines. with how the world looked, FR looks closer to RW, than TD. even george miller [the director] has stated even he's unsure about max's timeline. and that FR is more of a "legendary tale" about max than an actual event...
I grew up with the original trilogy and when I heard about this reboot I had no interest in seeing it, what a fool I was, this movie is absolutely incredible.
God damn I love this movie 🍿🙌🏻the music "brothers in arms" is so epic! I hear it in my head every time I'm doing something mediocre and instantly turns my day into a wild ride 🤣🔥🏋️
The first time i watched this movie i liked it but i really enjoyed it more after the second viewing. I personally put it after The Road Warrior as my fav Mad Max movie followed by Thunderdome.
Charlize Theron was born in South Africa where this film was filmed along with Namibia, Angola and Sydney but grew up in New York, she lived in Melbourne for a while but not long enough to develop an Aussie accent .
Max has been wandering the Wasteland for a long time, and has almost gone feral. He's lost his connection to humanity. That's why he barely speaks. Why he starts out essentially grunting.
Mel WAS Max. Agreed. As for a Mad Max film, I don't see it that way. While Max was there, he seemed to take the part of the viewer for the most part in something more akin to Mad Max Tales from the Wasteland: Fury Road. This really was Furiosa's story. The game is great.
Fury Road is basically a remake of Road Warrior. It may seem that there isn't much story but there is. So much. It's all in the visuals, in the culture, in the actions of the characters. For me this is the best Mad Max movie.
"That's not a very efficient way to be distributing the water." Well yeah, that's the point. It'd not about distributing water, it's about reminding people of their status and your power. And Max has few words because the story isn't about Max, the story is about Furiosa and the wives. Same as 2 & 3, Max is the wanderer who crosses their paths and changes their destiny. It's just emphasised more in this one. What religions are there in this future? Well, umm, Immortan Joe is one.
One way to think about the Mad Max movies is as stories people tell in the wasteland. This movie takes place a long time after the events of the first one and every one has cancers and birth defects etc, the language has changed, no one remembers the beforetimes. The storytellers give the name Max to any mysterious hero who comes out of nowhere and disappears at the end. If you have a problem with the colour grade there is a black and white edition which is incredible.
They did release a Shiny and Chrome version that is done completely in black and white. For those who didn’t like the color saturation. It still works as a great movie in black and white.

I have to disagree with you, I think Fury Road is one of the best movies ever made and I grew up with the first three films.
Mad max does not need an Australian accent.

Probably one of the best characters in the movie

Very well put, I think if they continued on the movie series we would have seen even more of the development
very well said...
There’s also the theory that this Max is the mute boy from the original Mad Max 2! Which probably doesn’t hold up but is a really cool idea
And then ending with that quote about finding our better selves. He had to find his humanity first, and now he can go find his better self.
I also think of it as George himself said it. Max is a legend, is a mythos in this world. Every movie is a different iteration of Max cause is told from different points of view (except from the first one) and this is just another story to add to the legend.

@@TennSevenYou're right. I just watched it yesterday.
@@krissuyxdid you watch it in HDR? Because it's definitely that saturated in HDR.
The movie got 10 Oscar nominations and won 6 of them, which I believe is a record for most wins for an Australian film. George Miller got a Best Director nomination, but lost to Alejandro G. Inarritu for THE REVENANT (Best Picture went to SPOTLIGHT that year).
You know, I'm always curious if anyone felt Alejandro should've won over George for Best Director or not. What does everyone here think?
Difficult to pick between the two tbh. The Revenant is beautiful, Oscar bait jokes aside
The Revenant was pretty amazing.
@@noahpeterlin4235 too close to call :) but as George C Scott said when he didnt bother to show to get his trophy .. its just a meaningless popularity contest anyways :)
All of it's nominations were for technical achievement, it was not nominated for acting or story. I think the criticisms Mary makes are correct. On a technical level it's a great movie but the character of Mad Max, the actor who plays Mad Max and the story are inferior to the previous Mad Max films (including Mad Max 1)
Max had 16 lines of dialogue in "The Road Warrior" and had 60 in "Fury Road" so he actually has more in this movie than Road Warrior. It's hard for anyone, and I mean anyone to beat Mel Gibson in almost any role, no matter who replaced him.
I reckon the reason Max is so few of words in this film is because of everything that he has already gone through. If you remember all the other Mad Max movies, even when he wins, he loses, because he always winds up by himself, wandering off somewhere else, even when all the other good guys get away. And you see in this movie all of the ghosts he is dealing with. None of those ghosts are from any of the other films, by the way. Those are just countless other people Max has failed in the past, from other times, who are all now haunting him. So the reason he barely talks is probably an indication of just how over the edge he is. He is, by this point, teetering on the brink of full-on madness, and only helping other people, by this point, keeps him level, mentally.
That's my theory, anyway. I thought Max was fine not talking much, honestly. In this movie, he didn't really need to say much. His actions did all the talking for him.
He reveals as much when Max says, “Hope is a mistake. If you can’t fix what’s broken, you’ll go insane.”
Excellent analysis of the movie! I had have not seen from this pespective.
I love Hardy's Max. It's a very nuanced performance. In the beginning, he's like a feral dog. You can tell from the opening monologue on, that he's been living mostly in solitude, even questioning his own sanity and that of the world around him which has plunged into further madness. I doubt he has held an actual conversation with someone in a very long time. Him not speaking much is very intentional. In fact, the thing that makes this film such a masterclass in filmmaking is that every single frame was crafted with intention. The story is told through the details and the performances. This is a throwback to the silent film era, when directors had to convey meaning through visuals alone and that is also why so many of those films are consider classics because it is much more difficult to tell a story without exposition. Miller in fact wrote and filmed Fury Road so that it could be viewed as a silent film. There's a black and white version available (Black and Chrome), which Miller wanted to release in silent format (score only). It really solidifies how masterful this film truly is.
Yeah. The film is about Max learning to be human, and to trust ithers again after being feral for so long.
Mad Max Fury Road is an absolute master class of visual storytelling. They're making a prequel titled "Furiosa" by the same director, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth
Yeah they actually just screened some footage of it along with Dune Part 2 at Cinemacon yesterday. Super excited!
Seconding this regarding the storytelling. There is a lot of story here, just not a lot of words spoken. If you're shutting your brain off through the action scenes and waiting for characters to start talking for story progression, you're going to miss a lot.
totally agree with your review there was so much focus on Furiosa it should have been titled Furiosa Road 😅😅😅
@@hudsonkane8551 I'm sure marketing forced the Mad Max banning scheme.
@@hudsonkane8551 It pretty much was called Furisosa road, Fury road. This was her story in the Mad Max universe. Well, her first one, seems the next one is her early life.
Some of my favorite things about this movie, the way the language has evolved through the apocalypse, Guzzolene, kamakrazie, aquacola. All those things make so much sense in the way the world has developed. Nux character slowly gains more color tone to his skin as the movie progresses and he stops blindly following Joe. The use of practical effects over cgi in most of the scenes. How Furiosas amputation is not shown as a weakness, but is just a fact. They ACTUALLY built the vehicles and they ACTUALLY drive. So dope.
If you look at the Behind the Scenes there are a lot of CGI used lol
@@luxurybuzz3681 Not for the actual stunts. The CG was mainly used to create the environments they're in, and add a few stylistic touches (flying steering wheel, etcetera). But the Behind the Scenes show that they really did have people on poles throwing firebombs, there really was a guy dangling from a truck playing the guitar (he's married to one of the Brides now).
FANG IT, SCHLANGER!
The thing about Mad Max as an overall saga is that Max is not the hero. He's the character who makes it possible for the real hero of the story to achieve their goal, and through doing that gets a piece of his soul back.
Yeah. He's the witness to others' stories.
The Legendary Road Warrior
One of the best action movies ever made. All real stunts, in camera. So creative!
During the attack, Max's PTSD ghost visions are helping him more than they're hurting him. He moved his hand in front of his face just in time to block the arrow heading for his skull, and the voice of the ghosts are now telling him not to quit. It's almost as if the ghosts, while upset, recognize that he did try his best, and want to help him survive.
They have to use their mouths because it has to be aerated so that the fuel can travel through the intake pipes. The intake pipes are designed to take in air for combustion but adding fuel helps it, so they need the air to mix with the fuel so it can travel the pipe.
I love this every-day-life documentary of the Australian outback 😏
They cut out too much of the regular lethal danger, IMO. Wish they were more hard-core with the documentary footage.
@@AngeloBarovierSD 😂
@@AngeloBarovierSD
It's quite obvious this is just a fictionalized Australia since there weren't any giant spiders roaming around eating the cars.
Not enough spiders.
@@AngeloBarovierSD needed at least one drop bear attack, honestly.
Nux's arc over film is beautiful. From a fanatic cult member willing to die for Joe and needing all the witnesses to see it to dying to save one person, and only needing her to see it.
This was SO good in theaters for the action but also the story told mostly without words, a largely lost art these days. The insanity of shooting this is mind blowing. Being able to direct your eye through complex fights so that you know where everyone is without feeling lost is also next level talent. Some of Hollywood's best directors and editors had nothing but praise and respect for this movie. Totally cool if it's not your favorite... it does have a tendency to grow on you as you think about it.
Also, unlike other warboys, Nux's body paint vanish gradually as he gains his humanity more.
There's a great quote I read about Max in the movies- he's not a character, he's a cheat code. If you suffer long enough in the wastelands, Max will appear to help you and then move on.
It's that damn white leaf in Mario. You've died 37 times now, would you like some help?
The insane thing is that about 99% of the car chase scenes and crashes we’re done for real. Even the semi crash at the end
yeah and she doesnt even mention that lol
Fun fact: Capable (the red-headed girl) is played by Riley Keough, Elvis’s granddaughter. Also, she is married to one of the stuntmen who plays the flame-throwing guitarist in this movie!
No, he’s the stuntman that grabs Zoe Kravitz out the war rig. It’s in the book Blood Sweat and Chrome, an oral history of the making of the movie.
For me by the time the series gets to Beyond Thunderdome Max is a mythic folk hero similar to the American gunslinger in Westerns. Max emerges from the desert and arrives in a place and to a people who desperately need a hero, and once the day is won he disappears back into the wastes. Because he isn't entirely present at the start or the finish of the story we're not necessarily seeing the story from his point of view so much as we're seeing it from the point of view of the people he's saved; it accounts for Max not being entirely the same person from film to film as well as for the fact that the series can continue without him aging.
Such a beautiful blend of CGI and practical effects. The colours, lighting and themes were incredible.
Intro Mary, freaking out: No way!!! Is she okay?!?!
Me, quietly: She went under the weels.
indeed but it was a sad scene though
DID YOU SEE IT??
@@dannybrase1253
“She went under the wheels.”
It was a wheelie good onscreen death as she just rolled with it & squashed any doubts over her flat performance as some said 😁
Did you see it?
My favorite theory about Mad Max is that it's happening only in Australia and the rest of the world is just fine
Eastern Australia to be specific
Haha that's really funny
Mary's lack of emotion for the sacrifice and death of Nux was disturbing.
This movie was INSANE on IMAX
Saw it 2 times in it!
Would you say it was Mad Imax?
its a loud experience that can't really be replicated at home.
Mad Imax
There is a theory that this Max is not the original but the feral kid who appears in the second film. The boy adopted the name of his hero. This theory makes more sense to me.
Its really the only way it makes sense to me. Furiosa is clearly around Maxs age and had to be born around or after the Apocalypse since she as already in the whole post apocalypse society deal. The old woman is the only one who talks about the old world. So youd expect Max to be HER age not Furiosas age. If Mel Gibson played Max again here it wouldve made more sense. But as it is, either Max stopped aging, or its a different dude.
Only thing that doesn’t work is that the voices in Max’s head refer to him by his full name, and he mentions he used to be a cop in the opening narration, neither of which he ever disclosed in The Road Warrior.
The old woman that says "She has all her teeth" is the old woman with the third eye in Farscape.
This movie is the best one on the serious, not one dull moment or unnecessary dialog, just straightforward to the point.
This was a great comeback to the series. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron we’re badass too.
Tom Hardy? Meh.
Tarantino was right.
Mel Gibson should have played Max again.
@@antrimlariot2386Tarantino called Fury Road a masterpiece, so he turned around on it (when he made the Gibson quote he hadn’t even seen it yet)
Here is the plot synopsis of Mad Max Fury Road. Mad Max Fury Road is a documentary of an average milk run on a random Sunday in a remote Australian country town.
tom hardy was badass as max
Agreed and the film was far better than Peter Pans Thunderdome.
It's just a shame that the writers underplayed the Max character.
Which is a testament to his acting ability as he was not happy making this film and didn't understand what Miller was going for.
💯
The child max sees in his visions is called Glory. Max couldn't save her or her mother Hope. (In the recent video game and comics). She is the grand daughter of Ms Giddy the history woman
Well, just the comic book (written by Miller), the video game is not connected to the films (stated by the developers) and neither of them are recent (both came out in 2015). You know I can't blame her for thinking that she was one of the Lost Kids from the 3rd film because that's what I thought too since the film tells us nothing about her. Most thought she's was Max's daughter even though he clearly had a son.
@@404ServerError the other cool part is that each story has a different storyteller. All the stories of Max can be a bit different because they're legends remembered by different people. The road warrior is told by the feral child, thunderdome was Savanah if i remember correctly, fury road was likely furiousa's tell.
Imagine some rock band that literally got started in their backyard then suddenly had a reunion decades later to revisit their breakout hit and give it the Grand Opera treatment. That's Mad Max Fury Road.
Wait, you're Australian? I thought you were just drunk all the time.
So... Australian?
Great Comment!
"2nd and the 3rd film didn't have much car chasing."
Haha! This movie has one of the most epic car chasing them all. :)
This may be called Mad Max, but this is Furiosa's story. It deserved its Best Picture nomination.
It's most telling at that climactic point. It wasn't Max. It was Furiosa on her knees in tears - THAT shot tells us whose movie this was in Mad Max Tales from the Wasteland.
Fun fact, the red head woman and the heavy metal guitar guy fell in love and got married irl!
Apparently Max has 63 lines of dialogue in this film, while having 16 lines in The Road Warrior. Although the film overall still has about half the word count as a normal film its length, which is why it feels so sparse overall. But the director had the entire film storyboarded before a single line of the script was written, iirc. He wanted the film to be understandable with visuals alone.
There is a very underrated Mad Max video game that doesn't get talked about enough that tells what happened before this movie.
Platinumed that game. It was pretty repetitive, but I had a lot of fun with it.
The cinematography in this film was insanely awesome. What the heck did you watch it on?
Every car was a real car, every wreck was a real wreck (except for the dust storm scenes)
Fun fact. Immortan Joe was played by Hugh Keyes Byrne who played the Toecutter in the first one.
Some people see things differently, no doubt, and I respect that, but this is THE greatest movie EVER! 🤘
I was a bit disappointed when I went to see this in the theater, because I remember when the original "teaser trailer" was made public, and it was absolutely amazing, some of the scenes that were shot.
However, a very large portion of the film had to be re-shot after a winter break, as the landscape had drastically changed to the point that it no longer looked the same, and many of the original chase scenes (one involving one of those giant ore hauling dump trucks used in open pit mines - with tied-up people hanging from the rear of it!) had to be cut, when they were forced to move production from Australia to Africa.
Also, the reason Mel Gibson didn't star in this (he originally signed up for it), is because he was still married at the time, and his wife didn't want him to do another one - and he kept his promise to her, even after the divorce.
It's rumored that he did have a un-credited cameo in it, but I haven't spotted him yet.
(At 20:47) I know I do. I can tell Nux is changing because of his war paint is coming off. This boy is regaining his humanity.
The reason why so many people loved that movie is that it was breath of fresh air. Every single big blockbuster which came out around that time was 80% CGI. Here 95% of the stunts are practical and one can easily tell. And practical effects and stunts trump CGI. And yes, there were quite a few people pissed off that the action was shifted from Max to Furiosa or that his car was destroyed at the very opening of the movie, but the entire atmosphere that was built around the story more than made up for it. The old movies were great, but they were products of their time. This was executed perfectly when talking about cinematography. And it's even a miracle we got to see it. It was put on hold multiple times. Originally they wanted to film all the way back in 1999, then 2003, then 2007, then 2009. There are legendary tales of how badly mannered Hardy was at the shootings in the desert - showing up late with hours, not knowing the few lines he had, they constantly argued with Charlize. But at the end by some miracle or touch of God they managed to pull it off. The last thing is that this movies just Interstellar or Top Gun Maverick just has to be seen in a theater. The big screen and the sound most of all is on a whole another level.
I was 11 when this came out and it was the first Mad Max movie I saw. It had a badass female protagonist with a disability, and as a girl with a disability, it was a level of representation I wasn't used to seeing. Tom Hardy as Max was just fine with me, since I had nothing to compare his performance to, and Furiosa was my instant heroine. I later watched the rest of the Mad Max films, and I did like Max better with Mel Gibson in the role, but the earlier movies as a whole didn't strike a chord with me as much as Fury Road did. My ranking of the movies would be in reverse release order. 4, 3, 2, 1.
There's a gorgeous black & white version of this film, dubbed the "Black & Chrome" edition, that's worth a watch at some point. If you get a chance to read the book about the making of this film, it's really interesting. It was all shot in Africa and was a really hard shoot, with the actors not fully understanding what George was going after much of the time, and Tom Hardy and Charlize did NOT get along, and producers had to be flown out from LA to intervene. The studios almost shut production down multiple times. Ultimately, it was George's wife - who edited the film - who really shaped it together and made it what it was: one of the greatest action films of all time.
There IS a black and white version of this movie, if the color saturation is too distracting.
As far as making it grainy is concerned: One thing you don't really get when 'filming' with a digital camera is grain. The grain would have to be added in post production as a special effect. They'd have to create a grain effect long enough not to loop or, doubtless, people would spot the repetition and complain about it taking them out of the movie.
Many of the characters from the War Boys to the various warlords are all deformed in some way implied to be due to radiation poisoning, likely from nuclear fallout or similar in the environment. Hence, Nux’s tumors. Even Splendid, the pregnant wife, had some facial scarring, but the wives are probably (for now anyways) showing the least obvious deformities.
I think that's supposed to be an owner's mark, actually, signifying that she's Joe's personal property.
This is one of my faves, but your opinion makes sense to me: I think people liked this movie more as a standalone film than as Mad Max 4, so if you wanted something more like the other three in the series, and not just "a great action movie that happens to involve Mad Max", I get how this might not necessarily be your favourite!
26:50 - "Why can't they directly spray it in? Why do they have to put it in their mouths?" Because the fuel needs to be 'aerosolized', eg, made 'vaporous'. It's the combination in the right ratio of fuel and oxygen that creates the intense burn. Fuel is the ignition source, but it's actually oxygen that burns. Shooting fuel in a steam will actually soak and dampen effect of combustion, by restricting the proportional volume of oxygen around the ignition source. Fuel in spray droplets exposes vastly more surface area to ignite and the air between the droplets can burn unhindered.
It's actually a common mistake in arson cases, where the arsonist will saturate objects with fuel, thinking it will make a better fire, but it's possible to wet something with enough fuel that it slows the fire down and even creates unburnt patches at the saturation point. It's one thing they look for in criminal investigations in unexplained fires.
I never saw any of the previous Mad Max movies, and I feel like that actually works in this film's favor. It makes Max himself much more of a mystery, this ambiguous character who is almost just an observer of what happens, and even at the end we don't know what becomes of him. The idea of making the titular protagonist play a comparatively passive role in the movie was a very interesting choice, and it plays into how the film mystifies the world and whatever happened to it. Plus, you know, it's just goddamn awesome to watch.
Charlize Theron is South African so we claim her 😂😂😂.
I wonder what Mary would have said if Charlize used her SA accent. 😆
@@Johnny_Socko that's an interesting wuey
The reason there are so many characters with different accents is because this movie doesn’t take place in Australia. It takes place in the middle of what used to be the Pacific Ocean.
where did you get that information?
Oh wow. I had no idea.
@@BraveSpy The video game that was released a couple years back.
@@fusionaddict In the game maybe, it can be differen area from the movie, but from info i've read, The movie takes place in Wasteland - former Australia's Outback
correct. i don´t know why she thought that the movie plays in australia
Rosie Huntington Whiteley was in two movies her entire life. This movie & Transformers Dark of the Moon.
And did great in both. She certainly proved she's willing to put up with the pain of filmmaking in this one. She did really good.
18:23 -- Hi Mary.. I did a little research to find out what they were spraying the actors with on set.. Obviously you couldn't spray someone with chrome paint or even chrome body paint, so after an email back and forth with someone who worked on the makeup effects crew, they said the spray is made by a company called Wilton and it's for cake decorating.
I have a feeling your tv's saturation or contrast was set too high, that's why it looked off.
I also said that! This movie is not oversaturated at all. It uses a rich and vibrant 1980s color palette for the whole film.
yeah, this was an error on her side, the movies colors are perfect
The colour grading in this movie is great. It goes to a different style on how a post apocalyptic world is presented. But makes you feel the heat of the desert and makes it more interesting. A more darker or desaturated or even realistic colour could have made the desert boring after a while.
Best movie of 2015. Went to see it multiple times
9:02 "A lot of action in the first 20 minutes of the movie." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is not a sequel or follow up of the first three films. Technically this is starting a reboot franchise. In Miller's (director) own words it's a 'revisit'.
So, his (Max) memories and hallucinations are due to some events similar to the original trilogy starring Gibson.
But, there is a whole lot of things described in the cannon. So, actually this is not the same Max. Just a different version.
Fury Road actually takes place in the Great White which is where the Pacific ocean would be if it wasn't dried out.
To fully appreciate this movie requires watching on a big screen, in a theatre.
I love Tom Hardy in this one, but it seems it wasn't a pleasant shoot for him, and that might have hurt his performance. As he admitted later during promotional interviews, he didn't get along Charlize Theron and he couldn't understand what Miller was attempting with the film, probably because they spent the bulk of the time doing action scenes and not dialogue. He did apologize to Miller and Theron after he saw the finished film, and understood that the action was actually the plot. These things aside, I think this was a terrific Mad Max film, and one of the best times I've always had in a theatre. Miller took what worked in the previous films, distilled and then with the help of a bigger budget gave us a two hour long chase that also manages to push the series onward. Deepest respect to this 70s old director who knows more about filmmaking than more popular directors.
I heard this movie is basically a documentary of what real life is like in Australia.
Love this movie. Was great in theaters! Hardy is one of my favorite actors(and apparently someone I favor lol) he was perfect as Max. Totally surprised you didn’t like him, he fits. Hope we get another. They do have a Furiosa spin-off (a prequel I think) coming. Joe was a cool looking bad guy played by the villain from the first movie(rip).
For story over action: absolutely true 100%. This is a pure action movie. It's a 90 minute chase, through and through - a post-apocalyptic version of Speed.
I remember reading that George Miller had said something along the lines of "it's best not to take the four movies as one constant universe, but more like someone telling stories they heard from years ago about a guy wandering around." This may or may not fall in continuity with the 3 previous, it might be somewhere in the middle or some-such. Not sure how accurate that is to Miller's intention just something I remember reading.
As far as it being a pure action film: one of the best I've ever seen. As more of a story driven film yeah it falls a bit short, but that wasn't the intention so it's one of those "Have to go in without prior expectations other than to enjoy an adrenaline ride" kinda things. That said: How DARE you like the more story driven films! 😝🤣
I don’t think it falls short in the story telling department. It’s 1) the story of Furiosa’s redemption and 2) lost people finding their humanity in the barren wasteland. The action does overtake a lot, but imo it’s a really fantastic story.
Road Warrior had a story? Lmao
@@moonchild4306I think it's a fantastic story, but it's a simple story.
The theory that Tom Hardy is the adult version of the Feral Kid works for me, we still do not have the answer as to what happened to the real Mad Max
That does help. I really can't see Hardy as Max.
a Furiosa prequel is in the works with Anya Taylor-Joy playing the young version of her
Hardy is awesome as Max, in my opinion.
so it's theorized this movie takes place BEFORE thunderdome, not after- like the tie-in comics state- because if it does, then timeline of max's life get really messed up.
the director stated, in the dvd track of TD, some 15yrs had passed between RW and TD. the best way to tell the passage of time [between RW and TD],was how the cars looked. in TD, almost all of the cars were rusted out and were just frames with engines. also, everything was running on methane, not gasoline [as there was extremely little left].
in FR, were tons of cars and bikes running on gas [from gas town]. also, the cars and bikes weren't just frames with engines. with how the world looked, FR looks closer to RW, than TD. even george miller [the director] has stated even he's unsure about max's timeline. and that FR is more of a "legendary tale" about max than an actual event...
I’m glad you finally got to see the greatest thing your country will ever produce.
This is a Masterpiece
I grew up with the original trilogy and when I heard about this reboot I had no interest in seeing it, what a fool I was, this movie is absolutely incredible.
It's a 10/10, I won't argue with a person wearing a nose ring
Well I don't know about this context, but in German, "Schlange" means Snake.
God damn I love this movie 🍿🙌🏻the music "brothers in arms" is so epic! I hear it in my head every time I'm doing something mediocre and instantly turns my day into a wild ride 🤣🔥🏋️
Let's go!! So happy to see you reacting to this one!
This was not a movie about max it was furiosa’s movie.
The first time i watched this movie i liked it but i really enjoyed it more after the second viewing. I personally put it after The Road Warrior as my fav Mad Max movie followed by Thunderdome.
by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar the best madmax movie and one of the all time best action movies.
I love a blockbuster that thinks outside the box
Charlize Theron was born in South Africa where this film was filmed along with Namibia, Angola and Sydney but grew up in New York, she lived in Melbourne for a while but not long enough to develop an Aussie accent .
"Mad Max Beyond Thunder Dome" was the best Mad Max movie and Mel Gibson is the real Max. Thumbs up!
Max has been wandering the Wasteland for a long time, and has almost gone feral. He's lost his connection to humanity. That's why he barely speaks. Why he starts out essentially grunting.
Mel WAS Max. Agreed. As for a Mad Max film, I don't see it that way. While Max was there, he seemed to take the part of the viewer for the most part in something more akin to Mad Max Tales from the Wasteland: Fury Road. This really was Furiosa's story. The game is great.
Fury Road is basically a remake of Road Warrior. It may seem that there isn't much story but there is. So much. It's all in the visuals, in the culture, in the actions of the characters. For me this is the best Mad Max movie.
I loved Tom hardy as max
“Mad Max: Truck Spends Half Movie Going 1 Way And Other Half Going Back” was actually an alternate title
i don't know what you're talking about, the colors are AMAZING, i love it, so vibrant
Interesting that the only people I know who prefer Gibson's Max are all Australian. I guess he speaks your language!
Rooting..
I just learned Aussie slang
"That's not a very efficient way to be distributing the water." Well yeah, that's the point. It'd not about distributing water, it's about reminding people of their status and your power.
And Max has few words because the story isn't about Max, the story is about Furiosa and the wives. Same as 2 & 3, Max is the wanderer who crosses their paths and changes their destiny. It's just emphasised more in this one.
What religions are there in this future? Well, umm, Immortan Joe is one.
If you can find it I recommend watching the black and chrome version of this film. It makes it even better than it already is.
One way to think about the Mad Max movies is as stories people tell in the wasteland. This movie takes place a long time after the events of the first one and every one has cancers and birth defects etc, the language has changed, no one remembers the beforetimes. The storytellers give the name Max to any mysterious hero who comes out of nowhere and disappears at the end.
If you have a problem with the colour grade there is a black and white edition which is incredible.
They did release a Shiny and Chrome version that is done completely in black and white. For those who didn’t like the color saturation. It still works as a great movie in black and white.
tom hardy isn’t the same max as before, but mel gibson is truly toxic, and i welcome the change.
One movie I think it’s crazy how underrated it is, is “Life of Pi”. You should watch it fr, beautiful movie. VERY, underrated.
Absolutely amazing film. When I saw this in theaters, I did not expect this film would be at this cinematic level of filmmaking. Totally blown away.
By FAR the best Mad Max . Hardy was better because of his acting . Sometimes less is more
