Why Australia should reject Gay Marriage
transmorpher says...Let's face it, who has the guts to tell this guy he can't get married? http://prodavinci.com/sistema/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Escena-de-Road-Warrior.jpg
Mad Max: Fury Road - Raw
transmorpher says...Most of this footage looks a lot better than the air-brushed, color-corrected and CGI'd end product.
It looks more like Road Warrior when it's this raw. Road Warrior felt like a movie, Fury Road, while great, felt to me like a theater play.
This is like saying a fork is better than a knife. Well sure... but at what?
I bet you couldn't pick out 90% of the cgi shots in films you watch, it's everywhere, not just the explosions (which are usually a mix of practical pyro and cgi, including mad max.)
The Cars that Ate Paris (Peter Weir)
newtboyApparently this was one of the main inspirations for the cars in Road Warrior and Thunderdome. Good stuff.
Keanu Reeves Gun Practice
Digitalfiend says...Fury Road was OK but it still amazes me how much praise it gets. Other than being well shot, it's really not all that great. I honestly enjoyed Road Warrior and the original Mad Max more. To each their own.
That's like saying you don't like Vampire movies because you didn't enjoy the original Nosferatu.
70's movies are nothing like today's movies. That's like comparing 70's music to today's music.
It's 40 freaking years apart. 40.
Go watch Fury Road. Just try it. And the John Wick if you haven't already. Great action.
Man shows off car built from scrap
newtboyIt's got a strong Speed Buggy meets Road Warrior feel to it. It's going to be hard for him to pick up dates with it though, being a single seater.
*quality *engineering / recycling.
Honest Trailers: Mad Max: Fury Road
ChaosEngineHonestly, I don't really give a damn about the blood. It simply doesn't matter for me.... if it's there, great, but I certainly didn't sit through the movie thinking "damn if only there was more blood".
And yeah, there was CGI that was cleverly hidden.... so what? That's the point of good CGI. But there was certainly plenty of practical effects.
Agree with your point about American puritanism... what is it with that country that it loses its shit every time they see a nipple.
As for a pale imitation of the original, the first Mad Max benefits greatly from nostalgia and conflating it with the far better Road Warrior movie. As a standalone movie, it's above average, but hardly a classic.
The spectacle of it was awesome, but a good modern action film still pales in comparison to a good 80's one. Were was the blood? Besides the good guys, so you'd feelz for them and the main bad guy so you'd be like 'fuck yea! DIE MOFO!' Besides those instances there was a lot of violence and gunplay but so little carnage. Guys being shot and flying 30 feet through the air without blood splatter or wound to be seen. This movie was so hyped for its practical fx but all I saw was a lot of CG that was cleverly hidden and violence without any actual violence in it. It had an R rating not because it was gory and violent but because some random extra flashed her tit for 5 seconds. Fucking american puritanism. Calling the plot thin is an understatement.. it was literally consisted of half a page of writing.
Over-all fun movie with some cool spectacle. But still pale imitation of the original.
Mad Max Savage Road - video game trailer
newtboyI finally saw the movie, and I can't understand why they slapped the Mad Max name on it. I would have been happier if they made it a stand alone movie, maybe even a new series, but it almost seemed to me like they added 'Mad Max' as an after thought just for name brand recognition.
Having the last of the V8 Interceptors in it made no sense at all if you watched the first 3 movies, it was completely destroyed in Road Warrior, as it was in this movie (no spoiler, it's in the trailer) so someone please explain to me, how is the car supposed to be in both movies?
I still liked it.
Mad Max: Fury Road (Trailer #2)
LiquidDrift says...Ya, I'm really concerned that this thing is going to be ridiculous. Does not seem to have the tone of The Road Warrior. I'll be watching anyway, Mad Max has massively inspired my upcoming game, DieselWars.
Mad Max: Fury Road
newtboyOh yes, it is a fantasy car part, but even so they should keep their fantasy as realistic as possible. We have to suspend disbelief to think a single push of a cable/button re-tunes the carb, the timing, and re-routes the intake (and maybe even exhaust) to go from blower to no blower, but that's the fantasy they sold me as a child and I want them to stick with it.
I'm also upset to see the car apparently be destroyed in the trailer, when it has to survive unscathed to be in Road Warrior intact.
Still, can't wait!
Me, I like my science-fiction when they don't cheat and make up silly stuff like a 'selectable' blower. Anyone who knows even a tiny bit about how a roots supercharger works sees those scenes from TRW and groans. The blades of the impellers need to spin because the carburetor is sitting on top of it. No impellers turning, means no air or fuel passing it, means the engine no worky .
That being said, I could see how a Paxton (basically a belt driven turbo) style supercharger could be set up to work, using an electric clutch from a air conditioning pump and some interesting intake plumbing. Instead of the best of both worlds, it's probably the worst of both.
You'd be better off with a variable boost NO2 system.
Now, don't think that I don't know about the 1920s Mercedes engageable roots superchargers, it's just that the one on the Interceptor in the movie isn't that style, and they merely shot the engine starting up when Max "pulled the switch".
Mad Max: Fury Road
newtboyAs mentioned above, this is a prequel to Road Warrior, part 1.5, so the 'V-8 interceptor' should be in it....BUT....it looked like they destroyed it in the trailer, and it HAS to come out of this movie intact to make any sense, because it's NOT destroyed at the start of the 'next' movie.
Also, you don't start your interceptor with the blower engaged, you just don't. The whole point of a 'selectable' blower is you can turn it off both for easier starting and better fuel economy. Come on guys!
All that said, I really can't wait for this. I'm taking my coma drugs now, someone please administer the antidote 2 days before the premier so I can get in line for tickets. Thanks.
Why was the Falcon interceptor featured in the trailer? It was destroyed in the second film. BOOOO. No respect for canon. I refuse to see it.
Mad Max: Fury Road
ZawashWikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pursuit_Special
The original Pursuit Special will appear in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road film, set to be released in 2015. Since it was confirmed that the film takes place before Road Warrior, it will bear more resemblance to the Pursuit Special from the original film, rather than the one from Road Warrior, and it will be featured and used in almost all the stunts during the whole film, unlike its predecessors. There was also a rumor that the car would be stripped of paint or repainted silver, but this has been denied.

Onboard - Unbelievable road rage attack
quantumushroomApparently, Australians have learned nothing from The Road Warrior.
Crime has been on the ups in Australia ever since they banned most private firearms in 1996.
