  • Mel Gibson is out and Tom Hardy is in! Mad Max finally returned after a 30 year hiatus with Fury Road. This time around he's tangled himself up with Immortan Joe, a warlord of the wastelands on a vengeful quest to retrieve his stolen brides from Charlize Theron's Furiosa. And it turns out it's a pretty good movie with all its stunts and cars and punching and explosions and whatever. Thanks for checking out our review

      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.

    I gotta correct you on a few things though, hope you don't mind:

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
