Hey thanks for the shoutout! I gotta correct you on a few things though, hope you don't mind: 5:07 Fury Road was never meant to be a 3D anime. That's Furiosa. They developed it alongside Fury Road and a Mad Max game back then, the idea being to release them all in 3 different formats. So Fury Road was the live action film, Furiosa was the 3D anime (made by Mahiro Maeda), and the game made by Miller and Cory Barlog known for God of War. Their stories were all connected. They never finished the game, WB and Avalanche picked up the pieces and made the 2015 game out of that. Furiosa was a 3D anime at first, then a short live action film, and now it's a new movie we're gonna see next month! 20:40 That skull was definitely not made as a reference to the Gyrocaptain. I talked to the guy who made it (Olivier Pauwels), but I don't think he wants this myth to be debunked. It is a real human skull though with real teeth from a wild pig. 21:34 Ok this is hilarious because I talked to John Howard and his casting is directly connected to Bert Newton. There's a whole story to it and I'll get to it within this decade but you can ask him about it, he'll tell you :) Brilliant video once again, can't wait for your take on Furiosa! Cheers!
The Danny Devito shaking his head meme is an amazing addition to the editing language of this channel, kudos to the editors for being consistently amazing
I'm always amazed by just how much mileage those guys get out of a bare handful of photos of James and Maso. Even when I've seen the photo a hundred times, you put it in bed with George Miller and I'll laugh.
I feel like the editing for this is like that one family guy gag where Peter sets up a cutaway and it cuts to some producers (or whatever they are) in a room behind a one way mirror and they panicking because they don’t have a film copy of the cutaway he just set up so they just play something random
No one is called Rockatansky, it sounds like a stage name for an 80s metal singer. I reckon he was lying about that being his name, which means he could in fact be called Madison Max.
When two stuntpeople get married, instead of a bouquet the bride throws a stick of dynamite over her shoulder while the bride and groom walk away, and when the church explodes they don't turn around.
For anyone who tries to complain that there are no character arcs in general and for Max in particular, I'm going to disabuse you of that notion really quick: 1. Max's character arc is all about rediscovering humanity and connection with other people. He directly states in the beginning that he's reduced to survival instinct; he's basically a feral animal. The way Furiosa gets him to allow everyone on the War Rig is not by telling him about how far he can get with the truck or how bad Immortan Joe is, it's about getting the muzzle off his face, which is an immediate concern that computes for him. He initially doesn't tell Furiosa his name (and amusingly, she chooses to call him "Fool") because it doesn't matter. By the end, he's not only recovered enough to be able to plan ahead and come up with the scheme to take the Citadel, but he tells Furiosa his name before the end. 2. Furiosa is all about redemption and reclaiming the life that was stolen from her. She's clearly had to do fucked up things in order to become an Imperator, and rescuing the Brides and getting back to the Green Place become her all consuming goals. She has to learn to trust Max and, eventually, move beyond the despair of discovering the Green Place is gone. Her childhood is gone. Her innocence is lost. They cannot be recovered. However, she can build a new life as an adult; it may not be as ideal as the Green Place was, but she'll have friends and still be in a comfortable position at the Citadel. She gets her redemption, and her justice, as Immortan Joe's replacement. 3. Nux. Yes, Nux. Nux is a War Boy, part of a death cult built on a foundation of toxic masculinity. The closest thing he has to a friend is Slit, which still comes across as a very chest thumping, angry rivalry more than anything. His goal is a glorious death; dying while doing Immortan Joe's bidding is the only way he can access paradise. However, he fails at this and hits a wall of despair similar to Furiosa's. And in that moment, when all is lost to him, he's shown actual tenderness and empathy by Capable. It's the first time he's ever experienced such treatment, and it's like water in the desert-he immediately latches onto it and drinks from it fully, and becomes loyal to Capable and the others from then on. By the end of the movie, he's lost the desire to die and instead has something to live for- a future life with Capable. And just as he's ready to begin that life, Rictus literally rips it out from underneath him. At that point, in a cruel twist of irony, Nux has the opportunity to die that glorious death. His final, choked out "Witness me" says it all. This is no longer what he *wants,* but it's what he *needs* to do. He flips the War Rig, killing himself and stopping Joe's convoy from pursuing everyone. It's a beautiful tragedy. So there you go, there's the essay on Fury Road's character arcs. If you read this far, congratulations. You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
Y'know, as much as I love Fury Road, it never actually occurred to me that Nux spends the majority of the movie trying to die, failing, and then only after he has a reason to live he ends up getting the kind of death he wanted at the beginning of the film.
@@benh3518 exactly. It's beautifully tragic and ironic, and almost speaks to Capable saying it wasn't his destiny to die previously. It was his destiny to die saving the Max gang.
Excellently worded and beautifully explained. I like this movie and have watched it a couple of times and since first watch always liked Nux exactly for what you just described, but honestly the real intricacies of the arc of both Max and Furiosa completely flew over my bald head. I liked their characyers but never saw them as you described them. Thank You and have a Nice Day!
They don't give a shit how good a film is. Their #1 concern is how much money it will make them. And maybe they were right in this case. But luckily George Miller actually cared about the art.
Well for those early films Miller got a lot of people to risk killing themselves or causing serious, irreparable bodily harm to themselves, then didn't pay them or paid them peanuts; so fuck him too.
I just heard a quote a reviewer said about this, "I can't believe this movie isn't still being made and that multiple people aren't dead because of it." It just feels like a triumph all around.
Fun Fact for the etymologically inclined: to "fang it" comes from Juan Manuel FANGIO, an Argentinian Formula One driver who won five world championships in the 50s
My mother is a cinephile who enjoys all genres; we've seen all kinds of movies together in the theater since I was a little kid. We saw MMFR for her 76th birthday. Both of us were astonished and hugely entertained. The audience was great, too, I rarely hear that much cheering and it had been decades since I'd heard applause at the end. We did our usual dinner and discuss after. As she watched she'd figured out that the film flowed so well because of the character framing. She's definitely the reason I became a movie geek.
Say hi to Your Mom! She's definitely a Lady and a Connoisseur, it's beautiful that she got to share all her love for movies with you and that that made a positive impact in you. Have a Nice Day!
It's funny how Fury Road makes The Road Warrior's already impressive truck chase sequence look tame by comparison. This movie starts itself at 11 and somehow ends up at 15 by the final act.
Damn, I never knew Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy couldn’t get along making this, that’s kind of sad. They played off each other so well, you didn’t get that feeling at all
Oh I knew - it was a big part of behind the scene stories. Which, in retrospect, gives their first fight a degree of "venting one's frustration" realism.
Did you know that the Green Place originally featured blue plants in an earlier script but was thrown out due to logistical issues. This is what caused the working title of this movie to be “Blue Harvest”
Another little known fact is that in that earlier script they had actually written a new protagonist to carry on the Mad Max Legacy and he was simply known as 'Rodney'
I wrote a final essay in uni on how this movie could be viewed as an inversion of the abduction of helen myth, with Immortan Joe rallying fellow warlords to pursue and take back his wives being akin to Menelaus and the greek kings pursuing paris
There are lots of storyboards in the Art of Fury Road book, but I wish they had released a storyboard "novelization" of the movie. What makes it doubly interesting is that Max clearly looks like Mel Gibson in a lot of them, so you can imagine what might have been if 911 and the War in Afghanistan hadn't delayed the film for a decade.
I love how effectively the vocabulary and turns of phrase convey so much information about the world they live in and its history. "Who killed the world?", "We're not to blame", "We are not things", "She stole a lot of stuff from Immortan Joe!"
I love the weird evolution of words like Gasoline now being called Guzzoline, and water is Aqua Cola. Kamakrazee describes like suicide attack by war boys aka a Kamakazi attack. if it's a really exceptional death it's referred to as a Fukashima Kamakrazee. Chrome is just something awesome or cool.
I heard once there are only two stories; Hero goes on a journey AND Stranger comes to town. Of course when you think about it that is the same story told from two perspectives.
This is one of those rare cases in which ADR doesn’t just repair the movie, but improves it. All the dialog sounds so bizarre and it feels a part of the world.
I feel the same way, these people just don’t talk much surely. Max especially. I think his weird accent is because look at him at the start of the film, he’s practically feral. How many years has it been since he’s had an actual conversation with someone else?
One theory I’ve heard about the films is that they’re each being told by a different person, hence all the oddities and inconsistencies. The first is told by the police chief, the second by the feral kid as an old dying man, the third I think was one of the kids, and the fourth by Max himself.
This film is a great example of the title character not being the lead character, & it works. Cause the lead character of this film is Furiousa, Max is the facilitator for her story.
I like the audacity of Warner Bros acting claiming Miller broke his agreement somehow by delivering an R-rated movie, considering how well-known it is that Miller prepared both a PG-13 and R-rated cut for the movie that they audience tested separately.
Part of the dispute between Miller and the studio was that he was supposed to get a $7 million bonus if he delivered the film within budget. He did, but then the studio ordered reshoots and then it went over budget and the studio didn't give him the seven million. Miller basically pointed out that was their fault, not his.
Little Easter egg in the film - the spiky cars were a little homage to the Australian cult classic, The Cars that Ate Paris. Which is 100% worth a watch if you haven't already. And probably worth a re-watch if you have.
George Miller did actually make a pilot of a mad max tv show, called Mad Maxine. It was based on Max's sister and was to be played by Nicole Kidman and in world was a sequel to BMX bandits, Maxine was to roam the wasteland on her BMX but Turbo Kid stole the idea.
A fun fact not mentioned in this video is that Riley Keough (who played one of the brides, and is the granddaughter of Elvis Presley & daughter of Lisa Marie), met her husband during the making of this film. Her husband was the Doof Warrior. She at first didn’t take any mention of him because he was in full makeup, and the first time she saw him and realised he was actually handsome was during ADR sessions for this film.
I want to point out that Rockatansky sounds like a name that the generations born in the post apocalypse would think someone born in the old world might have had.
I've watched a couple of the Ghibli films and enjoyed them but haven't yet seen Nausicaa. Intending to watch it soon from your mention of it against Mad Max, thanks.
I'm gonna check it out because honestly it wouldn't be the first time I went to check on someting that Maso said or referenced. And surely is not gonna be the last!
One of the most gorgeous, exciting, and unique actions films of the century. In terms of car chases it still hasn’t been topped, possibly never will be.
The editing of that trailer along with the score backing it was sublime. I love that you had zero clue what the movie was about (other than Max being in it obviously) but instead sold us that: This is what the movie will look like. This is the kind of bonkers mayhem to expect (and god did they undersell that...some movies that teaser would've been the best stuff). How does everything tie together? The imagery, characters...Max...? Come watch the movie!
I love that the CGI wasn't added yet to a few scenes when the trailer was made, so there are several scenes that look completely different from the final film.
It would never happen, but I wish they'd had Mel Gibson back for this. I liked how the world of Mad Max progressed in the originals as Max aged. This one would have been great with an older Max who was one of the few left who remembered how things used to be, a bit like Immortan Joe.
They hired jets to seed apocalyptic dust storms in the Outback. They wound up destroying most of Australia's life and infrastructure, but it was worth it.
I think my favourite thing about these movies is that several people basically said "yeah I almost died while making the previous movie but I came back for this one :)"
As someone from Namibia, I remember the furore of the news of the production of this. Multiple complaints they were ruining the desert. Someone I know did the catering. I remember driving past the area they filmed this and the vast collection of cars was striking. Anyways, great movie
The dedication to find a clip of someone holding a shoe and miming 'stop' to go along with the line "stop buying so many American shoes" ...impressive.
I only caught this film at the cinema because my mate got free tix. I had no interest in it. Holy hell, best movie of 2015 and one of my all time faves.
1. To this day i still think "what's up with the stilts guys?" and go to bed knowing i will never have the answer. 2. Would be fun if in the end they decide to Recast Madthew Max again and just roll with the whole "That's how people picture him since he is a Post-Apocalypse Folk hero".
I'm surprised you didn't touch upon the music score and just how it fits so perfectly wit the epic nature of the visuals. Honestly, I think the score and visuals synchronized together is what make this the grand spectacle it is!
I just wanted to say, I love every time when Ben sneaks in that little bit of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 music.... I was thinking about it when watching this one, and right towards the end, he found a way. Thank you for the edit, Ben!
Honestly, I’d love to see an anthology Mad Max, where there’s like three different stories involving Max in one movie. One featuring Tom Hardy as a current Max, one featuring Mel Gibson as an old grizzled Max, and one to experiment with, maybe cast a young Max to play out between the first and second movie. But have it played out like that Batman “have a got a story for you”, where it seems connected, like there’s a continuity, but there are also very obvious inconsistencies between narrators.
The Splendid Angharad** Ang-Hair-Idd .. but fr tho the names in this movie are amazing lmao Immortan Joe, Nux, Slit, Cheedo The Fragile, Rictus Erectus 😂😂
I love it when James and Maso make reference to the Maccas on the same street as my workplace and the park that I used to go to every weekend to train my dog. These local references are only obscure to 99% of the audience but I matter more so keep them up.
I’m absolutely not a Mel Gibson fan but I do think he deserves a little credit for supporting the movie seemingly for free. Maybe they paid him but from an outside perspective it seems like he just liked the movie and wasn’t bitter about the recast.
Caravan of Garbage is slowly becoming just a way for James and Maso to drop obscure local references
This is precisely all I want

For anyone who tries to complain that there are no character arcs in general and for Max in particular, I'm going to disabuse you of that notion really quick:
1. Max's character arc is all about rediscovering humanity and connection with other people. He directly states in the beginning that he's reduced to survival instinct; he's basically a feral animal. The way Furiosa gets him to allow everyone on the War Rig is not by telling him about how far he can get with the truck or how bad Immortan Joe is, it's about getting the muzzle off his face, which is an immediate concern that computes for him.

One theory I’ve heard about the films is that they’re each being told by a different person, hence all the oddities and inconsistencies. The first is told by the police chief, the second by the feral kid as an old dying man, the third I think was one of the kids, and the fourth by Max himself.
One correction, Bren Foster, who voiced Max in the 2015 video game, is the only Australian to play Max Rockatansky
This film is a great example of the title character not being the lead character, & it works.
Cause the lead character of this film is Furiousa, Max is the facilitator for her story.
Like The Great Gatsby
Truly surprised this movie didn't break $400M, I thought the four times I went to see it in theaters would've pushed it up more.
Mason’s Bane sounds more like Bane from Harley Quinn than Hardy’s Bane
At least he's cribbing from the best version of Bane to date.
based editor throwing in FLIP FLAPPERS for the animation segment, YURI ROAD was a goated edit!
ikr Flip Flapper's a great watch
Shoutout to the editors (Ben and/or Lawrence) for always including clips of Doctor Who and Smosh. It almost feels like they’re in there for me.
I like the audacity of Warner Bros acting claiming Miller broke his agreement somehow by delivering an R-rated movie, considering how well-known it is that Miller prepared both a PG-13 and R-rated cut for the movie that they audience tested separately.
Part of the dispute between Miller and the studio was that he was supposed to get a $7 million bonus if he delivered the film within budget. He did, but then the studio ordered reshoots and then it went over budget and the studio didn't give him the seven million. Miller basically pointed out that was their fault, not his.
Worth the like for Mason's fantastic Jesus reference
Little Easter egg in the film - the spiky cars were a little homage to the Australian cult classic, The Cars that Ate Paris. Which is 100% worth a watch if you haven't already. And probably worth a re-watch if you have.
George Miller did actually make a pilot of a mad max tv show, called Mad Maxine. It was based on Max's sister and was to be played by Nicole Kidman and in world was a sequel to BMX bandits, Maxine was to roam the wasteland on her BMX but Turbo Kid stole the idea.
3:43 genius level clip deployment by the editor there
A fun fact not mentioned in this video is that Riley Keough (who played one of the brides, and is the granddaughter of Elvis Presley & daughter of Lisa Marie), met her husband during the making of this film. Her husband was the Doof Warrior. She at first didn’t take any mention of him because he was in full makeup, and the first time she saw him and realised he was actually handsome was during ADR sessions for this film.
I want to point out that Rockatansky sounds like a name that the generations born in the post apocalypse would think someone born in the old world might have had.
Man I would’ve LOVED to have seen Heath Ledger as Max. Such a tragedy on so many levels.
“I couldn’t hear you… over the wind” 😂😂😂
Wouldn't a Studio Ghibli Mad Max basically be Nausicaa?
Such an underrated movie considering the fame of the studio.
@@loldoctor Only in the west. It's huge in Japan
I've watched a couple of the Ghibli films and enjoyed them but haven't yet seen Nausicaa. Intending to watch it soon from your mention of it against Mad Max, thanks.
The fact MASO knows about CLEOPATRA 2525 makes me love that man more. The Man's a legend!
I'm gonna check it out because honestly it wouldn't be the first time I went to check on someting that Maso said or referenced. And surely is not gonna be the last!
The clips of that show made it look like a pxrn parody of a film that never existed.
Dropping a lot of early/mid 2000's scifi there.
One of the most gorgeous, exciting, and unique actions films of the century. In terms of car chases it still hasn’t been topped, possibly never will be.
This movie skyrocketed to my top 5 when it came out and has stayed there since. Absolute classic
that first fury road teaser is almost as good as the movie. perfect way to sell the film, i knew then and there it was gonna be fuckin crazy good.
Yes. I dreamed about it after I saw it for the first time
The editing of that trailer along with the score backing it was sublime. I love that you had zero clue what the movie was about (other than Max being in it obviously) but instead sold us that:
This is what the movie will look like.
This is the kind of bonkers mayhem to expect (and god did they undersell that...some movies that teaser would've been the best stuff).
How does everything tie together? The imagery, characters...Max...? Come watch the movie!
I love that the CGI wasn't added yet to a few scenes when the trailer was made, so there are several scenes that look completely different from the final film.
@@derkeheath5172 Not only that, but they also hadn't completed the color grading, so it looked weirdly desaturated compared to the final movie.
thanks for the rewatch on the Mad Max films - just rewatched them all this month prepping for Furiosa!
Mad Max is a legend. It's about a man who isn't good, but turns up and does good.
That shot at 6:11 is absolutely crazy. No CGI in this movie indeed!
It would never happen, but I wish they'd had Mel Gibson back for this. I liked how the world of Mad Max progressed in the originals as Max aged. This one would have been great with an older Max who was one of the few left who remembered how things used to be, a bit like Immortan Joe.
5:15 I know its tangential, but man, Flip Flappers is so good
My head canon of mad max chronology is Mad Max, Road Warrior, Mad Max (the most recent Game), Fury Road, Beyond Thunderdome
Needs Furiosa between 1 and 2 (although I thinknit might start before and end after 2).
21:23 i love Ben peppering in Smosh clips, a very entertaining crossover you probably wouldn't see otherwise
I think I'd pay extra for Big Sandwich if we could watch an exasperated Ben googling his 27th obscure Australian reference for the day.
I actually believe them when he said there was no cgi in this movie when they said that on a obvious cgi part
They hired jets to seed apocalyptic dust storms in the Outback. They wound up destroying most of Australia's life and infrastructure, but it was worth it.
@@jonothanthrace1530 I'm Australian and I did die, but I can confirm it was worth it.
As a muslim i laughed so hard at that namibia joke 😂😂
4:50 Mason with a great John Lennon impression there.
I don't think anyone has a more sheer burning hatred for his own comment section than James.
Maybe the guy was already deaf
10/10 this video. From the jokes to the editing *chefs kiss*
I think my favourite thing about these movies is that several people basically said "yeah I almost died while making the previous movie but I came back for this one :)"
"I just long for an era" is a MOOD
As someone from Namibia, I remember the furore of the news of the production of this. Multiple complaints they were ruining the desert. Someone I know did the catering. I remember driving past the area they filmed this and the vast collection of cars was striking. Anyways, great movie
The dedication to find a clip of someone holding a shoe and miming 'stop' to go along with the line "stop buying so many American shoes" ...impressive.
"Old Man Mad Madthew Max" should be the rolling title of the fifth Mad Max film. lol
Can't wait for Triviosa. When you inevitably do a Furiousa CoG.
I feel like I'm now a quarter Australian after watching these videos
3:44 The inclusion of the family from Get Out is incredible, Ben and Lawrence continue to hit it out of the park!
I wonder which of the editors is including all the Doctor Who clips all the time😂
My instinct is Laurence
Doesn't matter, more!
I believe that the Mad Max series is among the finest work Mr Sunday Movies has done.
I only caught this film at the cinema because my mate got free tix. I had no interest in it. Holy hell, best movie of 2015 and one of my all time faves.
Already listened to the audio only. Came to this to see the amazing Mad Max anime.
Spectacular.
My favorite part was when Max said, "You're making me mad. You won't like me when I'm mad." And then he maxed out his Mad meter.
Longing for an era, I miss it or I wish it was here 😂😂😂 there’s never been a more perfectly worded sentiment
1. To this day i still think "what's up with the stilts guys?" and go to bed knowing i will never have the answer.
2. Would be fun if in the end they decide to Recast Madthew Max again and just roll with the whole "That's how people picture him since he is a Post-Apocalypse Folk hero".
I'm surprised you didn't touch upon the music score and just how it fits so perfectly wit the epic nature of the visuals. Honestly, I think the score and visuals synchronized together is what make this the grand spectacle it is!
This film is amazing
I just wanted to say, I love every time when Ben sneaks in that little bit of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 music.... I was thinking about it when watching this one, and right towards the end, he found a way. Thank you for the edit, Ben!
If you like Teal and Orange, you’re in for a treat.
Honestly, I’d love to see an anthology Mad Max, where there’s like three different stories involving Max in one movie. One featuring Tom Hardy as a current Max, one featuring Mel Gibson as an old grizzled Max, and one to experiment with, maybe cast a young Max to play out between the first and second movie. But have it played out like that Batman “have a got a story for you”, where it seems connected, like there’s a continuity, but there are also very obvious inconsistencies between narrators.
Oh hell ya planet of the apes, feels like you’ve already done it but damn I’m excited
BDG and Patrick with their shoes?! I'm here for it
Did anyone else yell out, HATE IT when they saw the AI studio ghilbli mad max 😂
Your Bane voice is perfect! 😂
Furiosa should be called Madame Max
The Splendid Angharad** Ang-Hair-Idd .. but fr tho the names in this movie are amazing lmao Immortan Joe, Nux, Slit, Cheedo The Fragile, Rictus Erectus 😂😂
When will people accept Tom Hardy just can’t do accents well…
He'd be a great Tommy Cooper "just like that"
I love it when James and Maso make reference to the Maccas on the same street as my workplace and the park that I used to go to every weekend to train my dog. These local references are only obscure to 99% of the audience but I matter more so keep them up.
Man, Mel Gibson and his wife were really made for each other, huh
I’m absolutely not a Mel Gibson fan but I do think he deserves a little credit for supporting the movie seemingly for free.
Maybe they paid him but from an outside perspective it seems like he just liked the movie and wasn’t bitter about the recast.
I fucking love Fury Road
i really love how many deep cut australia references you guys have been adding in to the commentary, really makes me feel like im there
