The biggest irony of all: "Mad" Max is actually one of the most mentally stable people in the apocaliptic land, at least compared to the Crazy people in the desert or in the cities.
Think about it. It's the irony. "Mad" in the sense he does not bundle, has no religion, does not obey, does not belong to any group. That is "mad" even in the wasteland, since even the lunatic cultist and rapists and tramp always belong into a community or gang. Well, that does reflect, doesn't it...
even max is mad he’s constantly ptsd ridden and hallucinating and can barely sleep that’s very mad. the whole world went mad in different ways that’s the point. The others jjust happened to be born in a time where it was normal to be insane but not max he’s from our time
Max rebuilt once Miller comic book proof. I guess we will see it again in black if the do another movie. Max loves and has more trust for the interceptor than anything else in the wasteland
Movie:Immortan Joe unleashing water to people Real life: Local Joe unleashing toilet paper from the back of the semi truck because paper didn´t ran out back in spring 2020 and nobody bought Joe´s paper from Amazon
@@user-dv6nh3mu3y I don't think the entire ocean is gone. I think a lot of it is gone. In short if the nuclear exchange was intense enough it's possible that it could trigger massive duststorms and tectonic activity. That could've caused coastlines to move, shift landmasses become exposed.
I don't remember this part. The film would been amazing following from this . Focused on max . Instead of the women and other stuff . A film were he kicks arse with the way he looks here .
I can recall it probably running rather rich than it being completely blown up. Too big of a main jet for something carbureted which I’ll assume the interceptor is will do that. It’s just too much fuel being put through it.
"A man reduced to a single instinct... survive." Man, such powerful words delivered by one of the most badass voices. I love every minute of this movie from start to finish. Why don't they make more action films like this?
Films like this or Bladerunner 1-2 are the result of someone's inspired artistic vision. It's simply too hard to get funding for that, investors prefer films made based on tried and tested formulas. Also just because you have an artistic vision, doesn't mean that you're a gifted director.
Nolan is another one of those guys as well. he can greenlit any weird original script, and the studio don't even object on his choices since they believe him so much
Saw this in theaters when it came out. At 1:48 when the car fires up and that supercharger screams to life it gave me chills like no other film has. This was a surreal experience on the big screen
Like you could just feel all that raw power from a custom-built muscle car. Edit: “Hey! That thing got a HEMI?!” “Does this answer your question? 1:48-2:02”
It's a supreme audio-visual experience, one of the best of the century, no exaggeration. All sounds and music are given the space to shine without much overlap. Avoids the muddy sound of many blockbusters and makes nearly every moment of sound important and punchy.
What people don’t know is that the Mad Max game for Xbox, ps4, and pc is a prequel to the movie. Helps people understand why max hears the little girl in his mind and even why Immortan Joe chases after him
Yeah I liked the game despite it being a generic open world game but saved with good battles, gorgeous scenery and being being set in the Mad Max universe, but I don't really consider it to be canonical. Canon in the Mad Max universe is not that important anyway. His V8 Interceptor gets blown up in the second film, and returns for Fury Road, and I don't mind that at all. They are just separate stories about this legend of the wasteland called Max, with the exception of the first one, which is his origin story.
The little girl his his daughter, the "woman" who also speaks his wife.. It's all the people he feels he failed. because deep down beyond his fight for survival Max is a good man.
Pretty obvious the Interceptor represents the old Max. George Miller wanted to tell a brand new story so he destroys the old world in the first 3 minutes. Genius!!!
The car was bound to be destroyed. The entire plot of Fury Road was written for Mel Gibson, and then there were minor changes made for Tom Hardy. 98%of the movie is pretty much what it was gonna be if Mel was still max
I could tell that it was the same Interceptor because of to brief color of yellow. Just like it was when it begin all long ago before the world became a wasteland.
@@TimeTravelinc Max's interceptor was never yellow. That was his patrol car. The V8 Interceptor was built from scratch for Max by the mechanic for MFP. That car was destroyed in Road Warrior when Wez and his goons caused him to roll the car off a small cliff and then they blew it up by activating his booby trap. It's explained that this interceptor was built from the ground up by Max from memory out of things he scavenged from the wasteland.
@@josiahcruz9678 the only real difference is that Miller was going to have Mel' Max stay and romance with Furiosa and that was going to be the end of his story.
I love how we are just simply told that mankind had been fighting each other in wars over oil and then water, two of the most important resources, dwindling down to scarce levels, it perfectly gives us enough to figure out how the world has "gone mad" and became more like a huge desert.
Who else got chills when the intro sequence played. Maxs low tone commentary, the frantic nature of the radio “WHY ARE YOU HURTING THESE PEOPLE!!” and then “it’s the oil stupid, the news reporters talking about the oil and water wars and the geiger counter. It all feels too real.
Too be honest how long would a v8 last in the desert I know sand rails are v8 but those are used for short runs probably won’t last long in the desert even if it’s a stolen engine with a super charger and blower on it
It's not THE same BoB Interceptor though. Max found a car shell buried in the wasteland and rebuilt it. He won the engine from Thunderdome battle royale. It's in the prequel comic.
I love the fact that George Miller decided to add the beard and long hair to Max in the very beggining. I don`t know the reason why but it makes it more authentic
Nicky O since the last Mad Max movie was released in 1985. Time did fly by. I’m guessing because since we haven’t seen him in years, Max gets a beard to show some time after the previous movie was a while ago.
0:01 That was the moment when I knew this movie is going to be a masterpiece. So far, all the movies that I have seen which dedicated time to tailor the studio logos to their own theme were pretty good. They set up the theme even before the movie starts. Brilliant.
Once, I was a scholar, a young student searching for the right job. As the virus spread, each country in they're own way was locked down. It's hard to know who is more crazy... me or everyone else.
It hurt me in this movie, being a gearhead and having compassion to an almost unhealthy degree to my cars, when I first saw this scene. Looking more closely now though, the black on black has seen better days. Windows are long gone seemingly, her paint is faded and missing entirely in some spots, rust peppers the entire surface, down to the tires being on borrowed time, merly rubbish and what looks to be cloth like scrap materials shoved in and wired in place. The suspension is shot, the car sunk low, handling more like a boat than car, Every bounce sent the car barreling up and down. The engine sounded healthy, up till the car gains some momentum, it sounded like a very casual pull out for someone fleeing for survival. The war boys also caught up with the supposed fastest toughest legend in the wasteland and toppled her in seconds. Max's rig's time had passed, made obvious here by machines built in the wasteland, for the wasteland.
Honestly, I didn't quite understand the point of the Interceptor getting like 10 seconds of screen time at most at first, but then I realized that it's actually a pretty good indication of both the horrible state both it and Max are, and the threat the War Boys represent. In any of the other three movies, the Interceptor would've curbstomped the mooks like they weren't even there, now Max is so out of it he can't even drive properly, and it also shows that they're a massive threat if they can take him out that easy, even if he's half delirious.
If you listen to the car, it's not just looking bad - it SOUNDS awful (even the script/storyboard mentions the engine being "clapped out"). So yeah, you're definitely onto something.
Deserter to make matters worse, it’s not even the same Interceptor. Apparently he built a replica from scraps after the original’s destruction in The Road Warrior
Well aside from Max being completely feral and that the Interceptor is just scrap and salvaged put together to make a car. It's poor state was it's undoing, given that the War Boys are revheads and build their cars to handle the wasteland. Max just scoured the wasteland in search of parts to keep the car together. He's poor maintenance and his feral state cost him the only thing he has left.
Just to let anyone know mad max car was beatiful but ford intercepter lol ford always breaks down makes sense not to drive ford in a desert better drive a golf car lol 😂
I never realized until recently Max has PTSD. I kinda suffer from some form of PTSD myself, due to years of bad workplace bullying, which made my mind go snap last year. It really changes my perspective on the entire movie. I don't wish PTSD on anyone, it's awful how your mind gets fucked and how you have to constantly make an effort to appear normal and not to completely lose your mind.
I feel you. I even cut my arm once because it was too much for me (physical pain blurs mental breakdown at that very moment, which saves me). Eventually I decided to leave the counrty (I did it before and it helped) but just after I had given my passport for visa, the war started in my country and now I'm trapped (it completely buried my health). I've lost a skill of writing because my hands tremble immensely (I can type still), can't go to barber/dentist because my neck tremblres the same way but people around me don't consider me serious, they think PTSD is a joke and I've been drinking that's why my hands tremble (even though I'm sober, do not drink at all). Feels like this life is on an edge between joke and hell...
As someone suffering from BPD Bipolar II and another form of PTSD called CPTSD which comes from repeated traumatic experiences I wouldn’t ever wish this hell on anyone. Even on my worst enemies this Illness is worse than death itself but we’ve built such a resilience to it that we have the ability to change character at a moment’s notice without anyone turning a single head. While the voice of the past eat away at me I could never give in to my impulses and blow my head off. As much as I truly want to cause I feel that’s the only way I’ll find true release.
@@p.t.3726I feel your pain brother I really fucking do. I honest to god hope a higher power has us. May he have mercy on our souls. I forgot who I was a long time ago. I went feral for awhile in and out of psych wards drugged up on so much medication DBT therapy. Trying to reverse the pain that I didn’t deserve. And the past haunting me wherever I go. I can’t do anything but just break down as a man. A man is strong but a soul that is hurting will turn that man into something far worse than he could’ve ever imagined possible. That’s what this does to us.
I’ve had really intense childhood traumas that still fuck with me to this day, murders, rapes, drug abuse, I really related to Max’s line “here they come again” because it can get really hard to not have those events and those people run through your head 24/7.
Yes from the first movie (1979) and from the road warrior. There's easter eggs from the fury road comic book (what happened between Mad Max 3 and this one). He lost his child his wife his friends and the little girl and her mom. The voices he hears are from the little girl and the women (comic book). They died because he was affraid of being attached and to lose them like his family.. They got killed the same way but with cars instead of bikes. We even see a quick flashback from the girl and her mom being ran over. (comic book easter egg)
@@OffGridInvestor Most soldiers who experience the stress of full on combat end up with some form of PTSD. The horrors are different due to how conflict has changed, but the mental impact is still the same. It's why humans as a race should avoid war like the plague, it destroys those involved body and soul, leaving them tormented for perhaps the rest of their lives. Soceity doesn't even care for them when they return and just leaves them aside. There is so much cultural stigma surrounding criticism of war, equating it to a being against your country. But I'm fairly sure men like your grandfather would say that war should be avoided at all costs, not put words in their mouths.
@@AveSicarius even soldiers who don't see combat but work overseas in warzones get it. My Grampa has some mild PTSD from Nam, he has nightmares of being drafted again, being told he has to go back. Every once in a while I'll see him stare off, like he's thinking of something but he can't really remember it after he comes to.
Nah peaple will fight against the government but yes oil is what we fight and control but if we control water now you know it’s fucking war because water is what we need to survive than gas
@Naren Gurrier-Jones if we desalinated water from the sea in an efficient manner it would really complicate things in the financial sector- of course that would detract from the sheer utility of the abundance of water, the implications would be overwhelmingly great
I always knew this was a good movie, but after a year at film school, I realized it's a damn near perfect movie. Every single person who worked on this deserves so much credit.
Phrases like "Terminal freak-out point" and "Mankind is terrorizing itself," spoken as though over a f*cking news broadcast, almost immediately gives such a succinct timeframe regarding how fast this all happened
@@DrumToTheBassWoop technically no. That's a handbuilt interceptor Max scavenged together. The "Last of the V8 Interceptors" was destroyed in Road Warrior.
I went to see this masterpiece with some mates and one of them hated it as they’ve become too accustomed to hand holding and needing to have every bit of lore constantly explained to them, as well as only thinking character development can successfully be achieved through constant dialogue rather than a characters’ actions. I’ve never gone back to the cinema with him again.
I like the fantheory that max is basically just an anonymous legend that amalgamates several people told through stories. There is no one mad max anymore. It’s everyone who keeps on.
It's probably the greatest action movie of the 2010s and one of the greatest action movies of all time. This is literally the Citizen Kane of action movies
Jumping from the upbeat, sentimental ending of Beyond Thunderdome straight to this dark, gritty, borderline anti-romantic opening scene is like listening to Wham- Careless Whisper followed by DragonForce- Through the Fire and the Flames
Fury Road gets a bad rap from some critics for having too simple a story, but the 'how' of it is much more important than the 'what'. The 'what' is super simple. The 'how' is breathtaking.
That ain't Mad Max, its the adult version of the little wild kid from Mad Max 2: Road Warrior, the way he killed and chewed up that poor little lizard in such an animalistic way is all the proof that I need.
@@carlosmelara8435 Not really, distillation is possible nowadays and many countries has underground water that has been not used. There is just one minor detail, if mankind population kept increasing, then Huston, we have a problem!
The first scene really debunks every theory on why this Max is not Mel Gibson Max. He is the same Max people. He lived through it all. Not only that. For all you hardcore fans who caught this. HIS LEG BRACE IS STILL ON. Which is why Tom’s Max and Mel’s Max are the same one.
I get the chills when he says “I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead” and “you know hope is a mistake. If you can’t fix what’s broken...you’ll uh...you’ll go insane”
"Here they come again....worming their way into the black matter of my brain..." That line as he's desperately fiddling with a broken radio was always the most haunting image of the movie. Thunderdome gave the impression that he was recovering from his mental illnesses at the end but still wasn't exactly ready to start again. Fury Road pretty much sees him devolve into an animal. Chilling as hell.
jeez the interceptor is ROLLIN COAL everyone thats how you know shes on her last leg.but she will always be remembered FOREVER.one year later this is still my dream car. btw if anyone doesnt know the reason i believe he got caught is one reason alone.......the car IS NOT running on nitro anymore/nitromethane or whatever, so the car isnt gonna be at is fullest power, and its just so old now, but honestly cant wait for the new FURIOSA! anyone else?
Mankind has gone ROUGE! Something about that just says it all. At the end of the return of the king Aragorn says “wolfs and shattered shields when the age of man comes crashing down!” When mankind forsakes brotherhood and love is when the return will end.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Your fellow man isn't the enemy. It's the people who try and twist us into fighting each other instead of holding the upper echelons of power accountable for their sins. Politicians will lead us down a path of blood and sin.
Oh god i love these movies. Im a gear head and i love engines. Man that interceptor is in dire need of a total rebuild. It was blowing black smoke on startup. All oil getting past valve stems and piston rings. Jeezus!

The biggest irony of all: "Mad" Max is actually one of the most mentally stable people in the apocaliptic land, at least compared to the Crazy people in the desert or in the cities.
The spectrum of insanity has shifted so far, that people once assumed mad, are the most sane. 😐
He is the one that is mad by the standards of his world
Would we all and myself included all go absolutely insane from such a world in dire need of heal I sure as hell would of gone crazy by then
Think about it. It's the irony. "Mad" in the sense he does not bundle, has no religion, does not obey, does not belong to any group. That is "mad" even in the wasteland, since even the lunatic cultist and rapists and tramp always belong into a community or gang. Well, that does reflect, doesn't it...
even max is mad he’s constantly ptsd ridden and hallucinating and can barely sleep that’s very mad. the whole world went mad in different ways that’s the point. The others jjust happened to be born in a time where it was normal to be insane but not max he’s from our time

Breaks my heart to see the car get wrecked in the first 5 mins of the movie, I wanted to see that bird sing!
If you listen to the motor, the Interceptor was on its last legs anyway. Fitting it got to go out in a blaze of glory at the end.
Im sure miller said he lost the original car he had and built this interceptor from scratch
Well it simply gets flipped they redo and fix the car, and give it away to be used against max the rest of the movie.
Max rebuilt once Miller comic book proof. I guess we will see it again in black if the do another movie. Max loves and has more trust for the interceptor than anything else in the wasteland

I don't wish PTSD on anyone, it's awful how your mind gets fucked and how you have to constantly make an effort to appear normal and not to completely lose your mind.
I feel you. I even cut my arm once because it was too much for me (physical pain blurs mental breakdown at that very moment, which saves me). Eventually I decided to leave the counrty (I did it before and it helped) but just after I had given my passport for visa, the war started in my country and now I'm trapped (it completely buried my health). I've lost a skill of writing because my hands tremble immensely (I can type still), can't go to barber/dentist because my neck tremblres the same way but people around me don't consider me serious, they think PTSD is a joke and I've been drinking that's why my hands tremble (even though I'm sober, do not drink at all). Feels like this life is on an edge between joke and hell...
As someone suffering from BPD Bipolar II and another form of PTSD called CPTSD which comes from repeated traumatic experiences I wouldn’t ever wish this hell on anyone. Even on my worst enemies this Illness is worse than death itself but we’ve built such a resilience to it that we have the ability to change character at a moment’s notice without anyone turning a single head. While the voice of the past eat away at me I could never give in to my impulses and blow my head off. As much as I truly want to cause I feel that’s the only way I’ll find true release.
@@p.t.3726I feel your pain brother I really fucking do. I honest to god hope a higher power has us. May he have mercy on our souls. I forgot who I was a long time ago. I went feral for awhile in and out of psych wards drugged up on so much medication DBT therapy. Trying to reverse the pain that I didn’t deserve. And the past haunting me wherever I go. I can’t do anything but just break down as a man. A man is strong but a soul that is hurting will turn that man into something far worse than he could’ve ever imagined possible. That’s what this does to us.
@@G.H.O.S.T.F.R.E.A.K don't blow your head off. it's hard, but that's the cards we've been dealt. so I guess that's the cards we're playing with.
I’ve had really intense childhood traumas that still fuck with me to this day, murders, rapes, drug abuse, I really related to Max’s line “here they come again” because it can get really hard to not have those events and those people run through your head 24/7.
"My name is Max my world is fire and blood"
When I first saw the trailer that gave me chills dude!
"Fire and Blood" Is he a Targaryen?
@@envinyatar5712 the Targaryen are descendant of Max. Mad Max ==> Mad king ==> Mad Queen, all with Fire and Blood.
Max had PTSD 😢😢😢
Yes from the first movie (1979) and from the road warrior. There's easter eggs from the fury road comic book (what happened between Mad Max 3 and this one). He lost his child his wife his friends and the little girl and her mom. The voices he hears are from the little girl and the women (comic book). They died because he was affraid of being attached and to lose them like his family.. They got killed the same way but with cars instead of bikes. We even see a quick flashback from the girl and her mom being ran over. (comic book easter egg)
Sad Max
My grandfather had it til he died at 94. Was on medication so he could sleep because of night terrors. WW2....
@@OffGridInvestor
Most soldiers who experience the stress of full on combat end up with some form of PTSD. The horrors are different due to how conflict has changed, but the mental impact is still the same. It's why humans as a race should avoid war like the plague, it destroys those involved body and soul, leaving them tormented for perhaps the rest of their lives.
Soceity doesn't even care for them when they return and just leaves them aside. There is so much cultural stigma surrounding criticism of war, equating it to a being against your country. But I'm fairly sure men like your grandfather would say that war should be avoided at all costs, not put words in their mouths.
@@AveSicarius even soldiers who don't see combat but work overseas in warzones get it. My Grampa has some mild PTSD from Nam, he has nightmares of being drafted again, being told he has to go back. Every once in a while I'll see him stare off, like he's thinking of something but he can't really remember it after he comes to.
When the word loses internet access because of Comcast
I already know all about that!
**world*
Australia
Fucking Comcast!
The engine revving in the beginning of the WB logo will always be so dope/iconic to me.
One of the best openings all time.
“It was hat to tell who was more crazy, me or everyone else”
“A man reduced to a single instinct.... survive”
Those lines are badass as fuck
1:48 always loved this shot throughout the series
Tom Hardy’s voice is so deep I play this scene in my car and the bass from his voice is shaking the whole thing lol
I love the theory that max is actually the embodiment of death. Everyone around him dies, yet he can't
Even death can die.
@@Shagamaw-100 death is a constant, therefore it cannot be destroyed
@@graemedaley8060 When everything dies so will death. Nothing will be left to be destroyed.
What a BADASS intro.
This is how the world will become after Article13 has passed.
LMAO
Nah peaple will fight against the government but yes oil is what we fight and control but if we control water now you know it’s fucking war because water is what we need to survive than gas
@@jonathanoxlade4252 You can desalinate water from the sea stupid argument
@Naren Gurrier-Jones if we desalinated water from the sea in an efficient manner it would really complicate things in the financial sector- of course that would detract from the sheer utility of the abundance of water, the implications would be overwhelmingly great
I always knew this was a good movie, but after a year at film school, I realized it's a damn near perfect movie. Every single person who worked on this deserves so much credit.
Phrases like "Terminal freak-out point" and "Mankind is terrorizing itself," spoken as though over a f*cking news broadcast, almost immediately gives such a succinct timeframe regarding how fast this all happened
It's not just a movie, it's a lifestyle
“Here they come again....”
I told myself ... They cannot touch me,They are long ice cream ! :)) Damn he is very good at it !
"worming their wat into the black matter of my brain". Legit best line
@@Thomas-ut8kd then he smash the little lizard and eat it making the lizard tail looks like his tongue.
I think this initial chase should have at least 2 minutes, showing all the ability with the Last Interceptor.
the up-close shot of the supercharger spinning up and the sound it makes is just perfect
The video game was actually pretty dope
You got to build a car in that one!
I definitely see some nods from the Mad Max 2015 game in this, very nice.
He made that 2 headed lizard look pretty tasty.
That very first shot is fucking epic. The colors. The way max is standing. The way the car is parked. It’s like the perfect wallpaper.
Last of the V8’s 😬
@@DrumToTheBassWoop technically no. That's a handbuilt interceptor Max scavenged together. The "Last of the V8 Interceptors" was destroyed in Road Warrior.
Originally Max was supposed to be huddled up against the panel of the car muttering and sobbing.
"It was hard to know who was more crazy, me or everyone else". I ask myself this very same question every day of my life!!!
I went to see this masterpiece with some mates and one of them hated it as they’ve become too accustomed to hand holding and needing to have every bit of lore constantly explained to them, as well as only thinking character development can successfully be achieved through constant dialogue rather than a characters’ actions.
I’ve never gone back to the cinema with him again.
I like the fantheory that max is basically just an anonymous legend that amalgamates several people told through stories.
There is no one mad max anymore. It’s everyone who keeps on.
This movie is 5 years old and is still very good
huh?
Stona Raptor This movie came out in 2015
Lol
It's probably the greatest action movie of the 2010s and one of the greatest action movies of all time. This is literally the Citizen Kane of action movies
The best movie of decade.
Jumping from the upbeat, sentimental ending of Beyond Thunderdome straight to this dark, gritty, borderline anti-romantic opening scene is like listening to Wham- Careless Whisper followed by DragonForce- Through the Fire and the Flames
We carry AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Watch them in this order: Mad Max, Road Warrior, Fury Road, Thunderdome.
Ever since the second movie they end positive and start negative
I love that supercharger drive pulley spin scene followed by the whine.
Fury Road gets a bad rap from some critics for having too simple a story, but the 'how' of it is much more important than the 'what'. The 'what' is super simple. The 'how' is breathtaking.
It's based on Mad Max the game
What do critics want? For characters to explain a bunch of exposition?
Eh scores look the same to me generally. Least between this one and Road Warrior.
This movie deserves those two oscars for the sound design.
Good lord I love is voice!
I’d love to hear him narrate a Warhammer 40K audiobook!!
Mad Max! The missing 11th Primarch!
**his*
No, Make Him the voice of Corvus Corax
Or the Second coming of Sanguinius 👌
This movie is a cinematic masterpiece.
So sad for the interceptor, never knew others can finally keep up with that beast of a car.
It's cause of the years of mistreatment due to the environment of the wasteland....
I miss the original mad max it shows how fast it truly was
"Why are you hurting this people!?"
"its the toiler paper stupid!"
Still get chills hearing this monologue.
That ain't Mad Max, its the adult version of the little wild kid from Mad Max 2: Road Warrior, the way he killed and chewed up that poor little lizard in such an animalistic way is all the proof that I need.
Love how this movie got straight to the business. I'm making a 150,000 dollar Castlevania movie in AZ so I find inspiration from these scenes.
The scene of them catching up is actually kinda sad. What was once an absolute beast of a car, now old and beaten.
I ask that same question... Who's more crazy in this world today... Me... Or everyone else
So glad i saw this masterpiece in the cinema
Not to distant future…..
Never noticed the Nuclear/Geiger Counter noises when the two headed Lizard is moving around
*Our Bones are poisoned*
That line is so creepy.
When Max starts the car at 1 48. That Sound is Awesome
That lizard's good eating
It may have killed him in real life.
@@enterbalak dw he's venom
Just advised my 78 year old father to watch this for the first time on ITV2 in the uk, I bet you he mentions Mel Gibson!
One of the best openings of a movie ever.
We are close to the water wars. :O
Not at all. What makes you think that?
@@cplpetergriffin1583 In some places they're beginning to run out of water like Cape Town.
@@carlosmelara8435 seriously?
@@kpencil859 Not now, but in the future 😱😱😱
@@carlosmelara8435 Not really, distillation is possible nowadays and many countries has underground water that has been not used. There is just one minor detail, if mankind population kept increasing, then Huston, we have a problem!
The first scene really debunks every theory on why this Max is not Mel Gibson Max. He is the same Max people. He lived through it all. Not only that. For all you hardcore fans who caught this. HIS LEG BRACE IS STILL ON. Which is why Tom’s Max and Mel’s Max are the same one.
At first i thought "ugh gross he ate that lizard raw and alive"
Then i remembered "oh yea he's got a parasite"
Which parasite? I haven't seen the previous films.
Om Nom Nom he’s referencing the movie Venom. Tom Hardy plays eddy Brock and refers to venom as a parasite.
I love that scene. When he fires it up and the whistle of the charger and the black smoke. It did make me wonder where he gets his car serviced?
Ounce I was a cop, a road warrior searching for a righteous cause.
*CHILLS*
I get the chills when he says “I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead” and “you know hope is a mistake. If you can’t fix what’s broken...you’ll uh...you’ll go insane”
For me it'll always be "Back then everyone had their fill. Back then there was no need to snap anybody."
"Here they come again....worming their way into the black matter of my brain..." That line as he's desperately fiddling with a broken radio was always the most haunting image of the movie. Thunderdome gave the impression that he was recovering from his mental illnesses at the end but still wasn't exactly ready to start again. Fury Road pretty much sees him devolve into an animal. Chilling as hell.
That’s how you start a movie
The black smoke tells me this is an old tired muscle car from a bygone era still a awesome looking car
The Interceptor was definitely a relic of the past but just like it’s owner, it refused to die
living in 2021
1:50 That supercharger whine 😍😍😍
This was probably the coolest action movie ever made!
Certain parts of this movie reminded me so much of the game
That's because the game is literally a mishmash of all the rough drafts for Fury Road.
One of the most creative and best movies I ever saw in my lifetime!
jeez the interceptor is ROLLIN COAL everyone thats how you know shes on her last leg.but she will always be remembered FOREVER.one year later this is still my dream car. btw if anyone doesnt know the reason i believe he got caught is one reason alone.......the car IS NOT running on nitro anymore/nitromethane or whatever, so the car isnt gonna be at is fullest power, and its just so old now, but honestly cant wait for the new FURIOSA! anyone else?
Interceptor on her last leg
With the coronavirus I had a flashback to this scene
In a world as mad as this one keeping ones sanity, is an act of madness
Mankind has gone ROUGE!
Something about that just says it all.
At the end of the return of the king Aragorn says “wolfs and shattered shields when the age of man comes crashing down!” When mankind forsakes brotherhood and love is when the return will end.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
Your fellow man isn't the enemy. It's the people who try and twist us into fighting each other instead of holding the upper echelons of power accountable for their sins. Politicians will lead us down a path of blood and sin.
That interceptor is so sexy !
"i am the one who runs from both the living and the dead"
Yeah, i understand.
The first time I saw that supercharger spool up I knew right away I was gonna love this movie
Mad Max the sequel is currently underway
i tell myself they can not touch me😎
I love the sound of Max's falcon when it started up, it sounds really good
Oh god i love these movies. Im a gear head and i love engines. Man that interceptor is in dire need of a total rebuild. It was blowing black smoke on startup. All oil getting past valve stems and piston rings. Jeezus!
