Oh... Yes...
and by the original director...
Now this is a reboot I can get behind.
Yogisays...

Ok that looks way fucking cooler than I could've expected. I am SOOOOO gonna enjoy this movie.

What's the story with all the pretty lilly white model virgins? Nymphs being traded as currency in the new post apocalypica?

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, July 27th, 2014 1:14pm PDT - promote requested by Zawash.

Wikipedia: 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.

Third?
I'm assuming you meant fourth.
Unless you're discounting "Beyond Thunderdome" which in my opinion killed the series.

Although being a reboot, it's like saying, this is part one?

Zawashsaid:

And - finally a third Mad Max-movie!!

Zawashsays...

There was no "Thunderdome" - nor any children or pop stars.
*la la la la - I can't hear you*

As 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.

AeroMechanicalsaid:

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.

newtboysays...

Yes, but from what I've read, in part 1 they dubbed Mel's voice over with an American because they thought Americans wouldn't like/understand the Australian accent. Still, a young Mel clone would have been proper.

Fantomassaid:

Non-Australian playing Max? Not happy George.

AeroMechanicalsays...

It's true, and it ruined the film. I really thought it was a crappy movie with terrible acting until I finally saw the original version. If you didn't already know, it wasn't particularly obvious that it was dubbed because the dialog was largely the same.

Also, incidentally. Gibson was born in the US, moved to Australia when he was 13, and made Mad Max when he was 18. So, I dunno. He was almost American then, and he's almost obscenely American these days. Maybe it all evens out.

To be honest, I didn't know there was a non-dubbed version.

On the subject of the Pursuit Special, it's a modified Ford Falcon XB GT.

Looks good, goes fast, suspension from the stone age, can't corner worth a damn.

Eric Bana had one and drove it into a tree in Tasmania.

SquidCapsays...

Unbelievable.. Just stunning.

Of course since it has two of the most important pieces from the original two films (Thunderdome does not exist in my universe): Director/Creator and the Car.. He even does his own stunts, meaning the real lead actor, the Car aka Pursuit Special.

That is just super cool, i mean, the original Pursuit Special has to be considered a museum piece, an object too valuable for being damaged, a price collection article. So it's kind of same as T. Cruise doing stunts: if something goes wrong it's gonna be bloody expensive.

And this is probably the second time in my life i want to watch a trailer second time.

Paybacksays...

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".

newtboysays...

Oh 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!

Hmmmm,
* I don't care much about the continuity, it was always paper-thin in the previous movies anyway.
* But if it's a prequel, he must end up with a sawed off shotgun and a handful of dud shells. And a stray dog.
* I hope it doesn't turn into a 300-fest; that's a lot of shit jumping in slo-mo.
* I hope it doesn't get too MichaelBaysed, that's a lot of Orange And Teal.
* One-armed warlord Charlize Theron: more of that please.
* Max tied to that car-pillory thing: awesome idea. Turns a gimmick into a cultural thing of sort in that universe.
* ...and it's not a 'Pursuit Special' anymore. It's the last of the Interceptors.
