1:32 I love the way the camera follows the enemy car, and the following aerial shot was well done too. I wonder if he was was waving to direct the camera car or to his fellow soldiers, either way the whole thing looked really badass.
He was waving to his driver; letting him know he shot out the tires on that side, and to get him into position to shoot out the tires on the other side.
I like the small detail of when Lord Humungus collects his revolver. He takes one bullet and has only four left. Given how scare ammunition is in the post-apocalypse, he has to make every shot count.
He also went for the engine shot, the easiest way to do the most damage and an appropriate use of the hand cannon. Some raiders probably died for wasting that bullet.
Then "Fury Road" and "Furiosa" ruin the desperate struggle to survive by giving everyone as many bullets as they would have in a Hollywood action film.

No freeze/thaw cycles in that part of Australia. Go to a tropical country and many rural roads stay beautiful for many years. I live in the Philippines and always am surprised at the quality of the roads.
those roads were built once for mining and never touched again. they were never great they just dont get used much been in a remote part of the country.
Mad Max 2 and Terminator 2 are examples of where the Sequeal *WAS* better than the orginal! Oh and "Wez" (The scary mohican guy) was one of the best movie villians ever
Better is subjective. They were both very different sequels from the originals in part because the budgets were so much different. MM1 650K - MM2.2 million / T1 - 6.4 mil - T2 60-100 mil. I don't think anyone can argue that MM2 was superior to the original. But where T2 was all around bigger and had better effects than T1, we all knew it was going to be a summer blockbuster. T1 came out of nowhere and the suspense and horror in the original film, mixed with the pacing, actors and music - Kyle dreaming of the future, the Terminator during the shot out scene at the police station, or Sarah being targeted by the Terminator at the nightclub. For me, T1 is the best film of the franchise. And then there was the gun store scene ... "The Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range. Shopkeeper: Hey, just what you see, pal. The Terminator: The Uzi 9mm." ... I think the Terminator and Alien series are better franchises to compare the first movie to the second - both originals came from nowhere, were very different from their big budget action-packed sequel, and took the world by storm forever changing our futures. And damn straight about Wez - when he comes up over the hood and grabs the Feral Kid - HOLY CARP!
For a movie that was less dialogue and more action and visuals the writers really delivered some quality lines -- "...Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror." "Lingerie. Oh, remember lingerie?"
Good point. The Humongous' forces are Hammer down in V8 monster vehicles all day and the Humongous doesn't run out. You figure the refinery would have to wait about 2 days for the Humongous to be out of gas, on foot using harsh language to try and scare them.
I’m pretty sure the settlers were there and the Marauders had just shown up recently, which is why they don’t have any sort of base created just a bunch of camps. They could have their own fuel supply that is probably running low and they are going to use what little they have to get the endless supply of oil/ gasoline
If they were smart they could have offered to protect the settlement from other raiders or exchanged scrap/water/food that they scavenge for fuel, but I guess that's part of what makes raiders a bunch of assholes.
The whole basis of the movie...gas was religion and them finding paradise = green land was heaven....gas was religion which was going to get them to paradise= heaven.
before the apocalypse, these people were probably just normal law-abiding citizens going about their mundane lives. The guy with the Mohican probably worked in an office, had a wife and kids.
I always felt a bit sorry for Wez. Sure, he's a total head-case, but at the same time he watched his lover get killed. I'd have vengeance on my mind too.
It's enjoyable that the "Warriors of the Wasteland" were determined to seize the gasoline -- and they constantly operated their vehicles all over the place, burning up their gasoline.
Doesn't want to cause unnecessary damage to the rig and is trying to get back to base as fast is he can. If he just plowed through the Humungus probably would have put more shots through the rig.
That would have been risky. Crunching over cars and smashing through junk, you can risk all manner of mechanical problems, the worst of which is stalling or lose so much momentum that wasters can jump on the rig and overwhelm you. Remember, Max just got it started and has no idea what condition it was really in. Any jarring or impacts could have disabled it, then he'd really be in a world of shit. Staying on the road, away from the camp was the smart play. Be like Max, be smart.
This vid would have been nicer if you showed him preparing to run the gauntlet; the scene were it shows him shifting and clutching the truck before his faithful ride would have sufficed.
I love these Australian documentaries
😂😂 I’m Australian and this is quite an apt comment!

That Mac Truck horn was the sound of hope.
The Goose would be proud.
"Kick er in the Guts, Maxi!"
The Goose Is Alive. Wait for It. He is Alive.
I believe Humungus is supposed to be Goose. I think they only scrapped the idea when they realized Americans wouldn't know who Goose was.
Max transforming from the anti-hero to a traditional hero. Beautiful film.
