Well I figure there are a few Mad Max fans here at subsim and there is no thread
yet about the series and the new film currently in the works "Mad Max Fury Road".

So anything Mad Max goes talk about the old films talk about the new film talk about the cars whatever.

I try to avoid hyping up a movie so long as Fury Road has the same carnage as the previous Mad Max films and does not go nuts with CGI I will be pleased.

Here is a link to the internet movie database page for "Fury Road":

Some vehicles that will appear in Fury Road:

I arrived late to the Mad Max party, prolly 12-15 years ago but then loved them - even Tina didn't spoil it for me. I tried when I was a teen but got bored easily with a scruffy guy in a cobbled together car or bike and just didn't get it.

Didn't know there was another coming out, hopefully out won't be to ruined with CGI and a crap cast.

Mad Max movies were good but Mel Gibson was better in the Lethal Weapon series :O:

The top vehicle with all of the speakers on it I wonder what that is for.:hmmm:

Remember the dog that Max has in the Road Warrior? Well that dog was from a local pound and they trained him for the film
but he really disliked loud noises and would relive himself when he got disturbed so they made special ear plugs for him one
of the camera operators ended up adopting the dog when they finished filming.

Mad Mel lost my respect with his outburst while drunk a few years ago.
:nope:

And I was a HUGE fan of his work.

He has enuff money to just go away now.

Fair comment and agreement.........'tinsel tIts' :03:

[Stealhead]

Mel Gibson is not going to be in the new one and I don't really care what he or any actor does in their personal life
I don't need a role model I need to be entertained.

When I see a movie I'm watching the characters.Even with all of his money Gibson clearly is not a happy person.
I think many people are good actors but are idiots in every other respect.

[AVGWarhawk]

The first Mad Max was a good movie. Nothing like a can of Dinky Di Dog food for dinner.

Mel has been in several great movies but he has gone off the deep end lately. Maybe success does that to some people.

[Sailor Steve]

I see it differently. Back in 1970 there were huge arguments over why the Beatles broke up. I said that it's simple: The same gene that makes people creative also makes them mercurial - alternately feeling superior, inferior, depressed, hyperactive, and sometimes all at the same time. The more talented someone is, the crazier they are.

Yoko ono was the reason for the break up.

Dad is at the top of the thread he looks a bit shocked.

@AVG Max ate Dinky Di in the second movie The Road Warrior.I do not recall a scene in Mad Max where he eats dog food but I could be wrong.

I hope you're joking.

[Stealhead]

Hey you crazies! only Mad Max in here there are no Beatles or Yoko Ono in Mad Max.:03:

[troopie]

Cool thread!

I saw 'the intercepter' posted in a thread the other day and now i've just gotta watch it again :).

I think the sequels pailed compared to the first though.

[Platapus]

I think the sequels pailed compared to the first though.

I would agree. It was a clever idea simply run into the ground.

[TarJak]

First one was very good the second one good, things went South after that though. Got some hopes for Fury Road but not very high ones.

If you are into '70's bikes try and get hold of STONE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lloTd45PFPg) You'll recognise a few of the bikers from MM 1.

her view of things, so she showed him another way to be, which was very attractive to him. So it was time for John to leave, he was definitely going to leave [one way or another]."

The group was on the way out. There are many reason stated but we will never really know for sure. Does anyone think McCartney would throw Oko under the bus? I don't. Specifically after the death threats directed at John. One of the threats followed through.

[Sailor Steve]

No I'm not.
Even Paul is on record as saying it wasn't Yoko's fault. It had to do with individual ideas and business and musical disagreements. John wasn't the only one who tried to quit before the final breakup came. Yoko was just a symptom.

I notice that in Aussie films made in those days that the outcasts are Vietnam Vets just as in American flicks from the same time period or at least in "Stone"
they are vets this one does not seem too insulting and some guys do have troubles as a civilian.

The one guy looks like Toecutter. I also recognized the jeans @ 2:24 Levis:doh: .

Paul

We've gone from Mad Max to Miffed Macca. :doh:

Read post #22. On record, yes. It is a sugar coated response IMO. After all that was said and I believe Paul "let it go" as it were.

You seem to see what we all saw at the time, but the fact is they broke up because they couldn't live with each other anymore. As I said, Yoko was just a symptom, something everybody on the outside could blame.

Ok, they could not live with each other and any outside factors(significant others) did not play a part?

her view of things, so she showed him another way to be, which was very attractive to him. So it was time for John to leave, he was definitely going to leave [one way or another]."

Yoko was a factor IMO. But again, does anyone believe after all that was said and done, one life taken on a NY city street, that bashing of each other would take place? I don't.

"Let it be" :)

[Sailor Steve]

Yoko was a factor IMO.
Yes she was. But you didn't say that. What I reacted to was
Yoko ono was the reason for the break up.
I lived through it all. I hated Yoko along with the rest of the world. Then I read what John said about Paul. Then I read what George said about Paul. Then I read what John said about himself, and what Paul said about himself.

My original point was what I said - that creative people are mercurial people. Truly creative people have problems, with themselves and with others. That's the real reason the Beatles broke up, and my point was to relate that to Mel Gibson's troubles. Everything else is a symptom of the disease.

I lived through it as well. My family was not much of a Beatles fan. I recall the day of the shooting. The qualms with Yoko. But it is neither here nor there. Being married, we can understand the influences of our significant other. Sometimes a band just knows when it is time to call it quits. I will not argue your point that peoples personalities and ideas on where a band should evolve are often very different thus creating a split. As much as people credit John for the song writing Paul was fantastic in his own right.

[Sailor Steve]

That's always been weird to me. John was more blues and rock oriented, but wrote some great pop songs in spite of it. Paul was more pop oriented, and a lot of people put him down because of it, but he wrote some great blues stuff too. Both were great, but together they had a genius that couldn't be matched.

On the other hand my late friend Rocky thought everything the Beatles did was too 'pop', and preferred the Stones. Can't say as I blame him; I love 'em all. :sunny:

[Stealhead]

I think Yoko Ono gets the blame for the break up when more they(the Beatles)already where having differences.Besides I think some of the best music from John,Paul and George came
after the break up anyway.

Awesome movie and absolute classic! A bit of an aussie cult flick. If you take the time to find it, it's well worth the effort! Different topic to MM but similar style. Check it out.

Also, why subsim does not have a comi-con thread:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Trailer looks good...hopefully the movie will live up to it.

I watched these three movies earlier on this year and loved them.

There's the new movie...and also....

I'm incredibly excited. MM is one of my favorite set of movies ever.

[TarJak]

The 3rd one is truly awful.

[Stealhead]

Indeed I think they had no ideas an thought "Tina Turner yeah and lets also kill a retarded guy".

New one looks good from the trailer.Saw an old style gear spliter that was the rig for the Interceptors blower in the first two films come think it. Looks like they replaced the Mack with Western Star.

Haha, I saw the first Mad Max when out was released. At a drive in. Before Mel Gibson was a star. :shucks:

[Stealhead]

Did you know that the one originaly released in the US is dubbed in American English? The DVD was the first to have Aussie audio. I tried the Bluray switching the two certain conversations are slightly diffrent.

He became a star? :haha:

Sweet looks like I'll be watching a film in the theater for first time in a long while.

[Red October1984]

Can't wait to see Fury Road. Doubt it'll be as good as the original trilogy...but we'll see. I'm keeping an open mind.

Definitely going to see it opening day if I can.

Looks at least like it will be as good or better than the first two films the preview alone is already far superior to the third film.

Of course you never know for sure so I never allow myself to get too hyped about a film. I just go in expecting to be entertained. In this day and age people get deep into hyping. I'm thinking that this will follow the feel set in the second film and what the third film tried to capitalize on but failed.

[HunterICX]

In this day and age people get deep into hyping.

Yep and done on purpose to make for a nice opening weekend for a film that's more expectations but delivers nothing or very little.

As you I expect to be entertained by a movie and I usually watch something that grabs my interest..not because it's being screamed out loud on the television, social media etc etc.

[Jeff-Groves]

I'll watch it just because it's a Mad Max thing.
:D

I'll also be watching the VFX. I'd bet money Houdini was used.
I've just started using Houdini and it's wild what you can do that Max and Maya just can't shake a stick at.
:yep:

[Stealhead]

I wonder as well how much CGI the will use. Of course good bit but Miller is famous for using live action stunts as well and evidence implies that there will be a good deal of it this film too. So im guessing a nice balance of CGI and live action.

[Dowly]

Interesting to see if they can pull it off.

I mean, lets be real, most of the good 80s and early 90s action stuff were B+ movies. Commando, Robocop, Mad Max, Predator, they all had that tongue-in-cheek approach and I think that element is missing from a lot of movies these days. They simply take themselves too seriously.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesnt. Looking at how poorly the other reboots have done, I don't hold my breath. Will see it eventually just out of curiosity.

[Red October1984]

It'll sure be different without Gibson though...and no matter how bad the third film was, it has its place.

Yeah nowadays, if you go in with low expectations it'll probably be a good movie. If not, (like me), you get disappointed at yourself for spending 10$ on certain movies.

[Jeff-Groves]

It'll sure be different without Gibson though...
I think it will be kind of like the 4th Bourne movie.
Matt wasn't the main character but it was still a good watch.
Granted it had a whole new character and was a side plot type deal.

007 keeps rolling with what? 17 different James Bonds now?
:hmmm:

[Red October1984]

007 keeps rolling with what? 17 different James Bonds now?

It keeps rolling and no matter how good Daniel Craig (or insert other Bond name here) is...he'll never be better than Connery.

But same idea, I'll still watch it and probably like it... :hmmm:

Most Reboots of recently haven't been made by for example the same writer/director. I don't think Miller is someone who is going to mess it up big time but then again I could be wrong.

I do agree on the fact that most movies these days and reboots are trying to have that ''People are awesome'' Factor with characters that take themselves too seriously. Nearly invulnerable, indestructable always on top doing nothing wrong untill that bit near the end where ''ow noess he might....ow..no scratch that he's fine'' moment happens for a brief moment.

It keeps rolling and no matter how good Daniel Craig (or insert other Bond name here) is...he'll never be better than Connery.

While I find Connory is very classy, it's imo not as good as Daniel Craig who does a very good job being very close to the novel Bond then any before him. As the above I found most previous bonds to be nearly intouchable whilst Craig doesn't show he is but shows to be quite destructive for his surroundings and himself. While Goldeneye due nostalgic reasons for me is one of my favorite installments the Casino Royale and Skyfall are right up there in the Top 3 and hopefully Spectre will join that soon.

I'm with Hunter here.
Not that I don't like Connery as Bond, I just hate the goofines and outright unbelievability in the early bonds and the nineties Bonds.

Connery had laser wielding villains in volcanoes, Brosnan had watches that cut steel and shoot triping wires.
Craig chased down a parkour expert with an excavator. Action, not fairy tales.

[Stealhead]

Have to agree with the others on Craig he is a more gritty get the job done at any cost Bond. Much closer to the books character.

As to Mad Max I didn't mean that I have low expectations I'd not waste my time if I felt a film was sure to be crap. I mean that I approach a film with neutral feelings and an open mind. I'm not going in expecting them to have read my mind and made the exact film I want as this impossible even if I had a huge budget as all films are edited and things are cut and changed.
