- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- With a thirty year gap between Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, FURY ROAD blew up traditional cinema in 2015 as one of the most visually impressive films of the era. This was the PATRON Pick for May!
Set decades after the previous installment, George Miller returned to the wasteland after eventually winning the production battle to get this film made. So hook up your blood-bag... ride shiny and chrome to Vallhalla. Let's go!
Patrons get this as an exclusive Podcast stream as well.

This is my favorite movie. I re-watch it every few months. It's a masterpiece.
One of the things that I love about this movie is its use of vibrant color. In a time when so many films are de-saturated so much that they might as well be in B&W, this one assaults your eyes with color. Due to the great contrast of those colors, when they made the B&C version it made the black and white parts really stand out!
You guys need to add Love Boat to your list of grim dark boat media! Certainly haunted my teen years.
I still remember an episode of Fantasy Island (which I think aired after Love Boat in my local market) that was Grim Darker than any episode of Twilight Zone I ever saw. My recollections arr vague but maybe Roddy McDowell was in it? And maybe he was Satan?
My favorite thing ever would be to see a series of films with different actors playing Max (or any other fun characters from previous films) so that we don't have a clear timeline, it's all "unreliable narrator", but just great films that are all myth.
Not sure if you knew, but a bunch of the concept design for things like the steering wheels and icons etc were done by Paul Jeacock, who spent a couple of years doing concept designs for GW, including the initial Ogre Kingdoms releases from 2003.
Do you guys remember in the '00s when gas went to $4 and the history channel ran "the road warrior"?
And Rob Riggle did a remote for the Daily Show in ‘Leathers and Feathers’.
What a time to be alive.
Any chance Children of Men is gonna make an appearance in this amazing series? :)
Also I need to become a Patron to steer you into Disco Elysium for games. Although that one can be hopeful depending on how you play it.
The lengthy in depth commentary is exactly what we are here for!
I've been waiting for this one since GM started.
On the subject of inevitable decline: do not forget that Immortan Joe's baby was a healthy, viable boy until its mother was violently killed. There is some hope for the future of the planet, though maybe not for the people.
The storyboarding for Fury Road is astonishing. Shot by shot, the focus of the action on screen stays still or moves slowly, which means the movie never feels out of control no matter how chaotic the action gets.
Side note on this movie, the guitar playing guy and the red head wife, met and started dated and have since gone on to get married and start a family together.
This Movie was fantastic. Definitely not mediocre The video game released alongside of this movie is criminally underrated.
My favourite movie. And one that pushes me toward Gorkamorka every time I watch it.
Which is often.
And is probably why I haven’t sold my Orks but have most of my other Warhammer stuff🤔
An excellent video, gents. Thoroughly enjoyed it!👍
Caravan of Garbage did a review of Fury Road a few weeks ago, so I had a strong feeling of deja vu when I saw the thumbnail for this video and thought, "Did this get re-uploaded?"
I presume that Chris Hemsworth's character in "Furiosa" will turn out to be "The People Eater"; who gets his nose shot off in the trailer.
The Cars are the Stars in Fury Road. Brendan McCarthy's design are so cool, and they are wonderfully well realized by the builders.
I wonder if Tom Hardy had more lines Fury Road than he had in Lawless?
The Protagonist in Mad Max 2 is clearly Copter Captain.

Great to hear you two chat over an amazing movie (even if it was an almost too obvious pick). You also reminded me that I really need to sit down and watch the B&W version that I've owed for a number of years! 😬
Man, hearing you gush about the movie I just have to rewatch it once again! It is just so good!
No need to hold back! Make these as long as you want to make them.
HIGH OCTANE episode
You know, im just going to put this out there...if George Miller needs an overweight guy with a commanding voice to be the villain in one of his movies; im clearly available.
I saw Fury Road before I saw any other mad max movies. To this day I have only seen the first 2 original films and Fury Road.
It’s absolutely incredible that this movie and Road Warrior were shot in sequence.
The one thing I love that I don't really hear a lot is Max's transformation. At the beginning of the movie he is almost an animal. He is truly feral. He only fights to survive and get away. But as he interacts with decent humans, he slowly gains back his humanity and language. He no longer fights for his survival, in fact he takes risks with his own life to save others. He really only becomes Max when he has people to save, and a quest to complete.
Black Company: do you like this character? Just wait, he won’t be here much longer.
Was kind of hoping that cars that ate paris would be in this series. So bright (even starts like an advert) cinematography but oh boy is it dark
Josh Helman was also in The Pacific.
Is Blood of Heroes / Jugger on the list?
Love your content - it's so good at the moment.
This movie is so fucking great. Hearing you describe the scenes sounds like the coolest d&d Dark Sun campaign of all time, and that evocation of nostalgic fantasy is brilliant. Road Warrior, the genre not the WCW wrestling duo that stole their gimmick from the genre, was created by these movies and is as much a part of the nerdom zeitgeist as cyberpunk and low fantasy.
I had to explain it to my little brother that Mad Max in this incarnation is essentially Conan, a wrathful demigod who wanders the land changing other people's stories, a force of nature more than a man. Having him a semi mythical creature, where his most incredible fight scene is done off camera, makes him so much more interesting than if he John Wicked his way through a bunch of mutants.
Exactly! It’s show-not-tell exposition where the restraint does more than any amount of monologuing could ever do.
Hopefully George Miller is able to get the Max prequel to Fury Road finished. I love Fury Road, but I want an actual Max movie.
They made three of those already!!
@@Dubstyles84 I don't care!
I hope you've been told to put the video game Signalis on your list!
The only thing I hated about Fury Road was it made no sense timeline-wise. Max was waaaaay to young. Even if they couldnt get Mel Gibson to play Max, they should have looked for an actor that age. Granted, I liked Tom Hardy playing the part, but he would have been a better casting as a reboot actor. The age he is NOW would have been a more close fit to the timeline.
He’s not Max! He’s the feral kid from Road Warrior with no name… so when furiosa asks at the end of the movie… it’s the only name he can come up with.
That’s how Joe’s bride gets the music box from his possessions. Max gave it to him in Road Warrior.
@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames Oh no! I actually want to unknow this, or maybe just hold a different canon in my head. I liked that the timeline made no sense, it caused me to conclude that Max was now a mythic figure, not a literal one that belonged in an actually time and place. I prefer Mythic Max, like he's some kind of a post-apocalytic Odin (but his Sleipnir has eight cylinders).
What a pair we make, Raggity Man.
Tina Turner stoll Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome from Mel.
She made that movie sing
@@planetsmashergameswell, for what it's worth...George Miller has denied this theory. IDK if I can post links, but search for "Mad Max director responds to Fury Road Conspiracy theory" on IGN
@@planetsmashergames Exactly. I love Mythic Max, and would love to see more awesome stories that create new/different/warped myths.
Oh this is that dude that threw a hissy fit when some of his members painted their armies with a Confederate scheme.
The career trajectories of that whole group of Ozploitation directors from the 70s is wild.
