I saw some video where they discussed the identity of MAX in fury road. He isn't the same Max according to that theory. Max in fury road is the grown feral child from Mad Max 2. 29:10 Great video BTW.
Crazy I remember when you only had like 300 subs and were doing some other random shit that I can’t remember all because of a message on my gta V phone saying to support you 😂 🎉
The best theory I've ever heard for the shakiness of any definitive mad max timeline is that when you're watching a mad max movie, you're watching a folk tale about an archetypal "man in black" or "knight errant" that is told and retold and changed in a verbal history, rather than watching the events depicted first-hand (like the viewer is watching a cinematic adaptation of a story told around campfires in the wasteland) The max's are always different men, who only maybe existed in any sense, and whose actions in the wasteland inspired stories of influential strangers that got blended into a monomyth. It's the head-canon I live with anyway
when Furiosa asks Max what his name is in Fury Road, he says “Does it matter?” which I first thought was him being secretive but it has a whole new context now
THIS. Similiarly, I recently rewatched "Young Guns Two" and realized it never claims to be historical fact, only a story told to convince a lawyer . The level of truth is left to the viewer.
The theory of it being Max's story told by different people holds strong as fury road and road warrior can be seen as the same legend told by different people in different periods of time. And it's kinda confirmed with furiosa's ending But those two are the same max simple point with his car and in both fury road and road warrior he loses the interceptor, but they're are alot more similarities within the two films I am happy to say thunder dome is a different max, as furiosa also shows different people dressed like max who could be lumped and confused as being the same person
Maybe it's best the think of Max as a King Arthur. Did he really exist? Did any of his actions actually take place? Perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe it's the moral lesson that really matters.
@@imepic434 she couldnt because Max is a guy and Furiosa is already a well known person. The reason anyone can be Max is because you first have to be a nobody. Furiosa is already somebody. Its like how nobodies are referrred to as Jon Doe in the USA but the women are Jane Doe. In this case, Furiosa wouldnt fit neither a Joe nor Jane doe because she is already Imperator Furiosa. A big fucking deal in all of the wasteland. Not to mention what else she might have become AFTER Fury Road. She probably is an even BIGGER deal. Specially considering shes not evil and she has enough water resources to create farming with plenty of surplus for all of the current "factions" in the main story as the Citadel has more than enough water.
Or it could be a case that different tribes and peoples have encounters with different drifters who come in and help save them and as time went on the details of the individual drifter is lost and instead this archetypal hero is put in his place. "What was he wearing?" "Don't know, never took notice?" "Then he could of been wearing black leathers with an arm torn off like mad max?" "Suppose he could" That kind of stuff.
Also lead additives in fuel weren't officially banned until 1991 so it's possible that excessive use of lead additives in gasoline could also significantly contribute to the fall of society.
@@mikeyoung490 Everyone who was breathing exhaust from gasoline vehicles mostly between 1930-1980 was breathing lead from car exhaust and basically got low level lead poisoning for decades. In the early 1980's leaded gasoline was starting to be phased out due to health concerns and was officially banned in the US in 1991. Lead poisoning can effect brain function.
you are all wrong and really need to watch the movies again. Mad Max 1 is set just as the fabric of society is collapsing, Mad Max 2 is set after the apocalypse, Beyond thunderdome makes it clear a nuclear event happened, Fury road has war boys with cancer from the radiation.
My dad watched these movies as a kid. I will always remember when we found the disc set that had road warrior and thunder dome. We watched RW and I loved it so much. I already had experience with Mad Max because I played the 2015 video game but that was my first time watching any of the movies. That’s one of my favorite memories of my dad
Your dad was probably my contemporary. Probably just a few yrs older than me as I also grew up with them but a few yrs after they released. I watched them all the 90's in my early teens. That means he was a young man. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you preserve his memory, shiny and chrome as it is. The fun times, the times you bonded, the things you bonded over. You'll do the same when you have some kids. I lost my old man when I was 22. It didn't affect me that severely then. But it did fester, bc of the changes it caused. The losses it perpetuated. The path my life took as a result. My point is don't let that happen. Idk how to avoid it but I will say my friends always said I was too focused on the past. I argued but now I know they were probably right. At same time, I feel like it's a sin to forget what gave one's life meaning. We honor our parents by remembering all they gave us. But I'm far less well adjusted so I wouldn't worry
Same look Mel gave to Danny Glover in "Maverick" so we can dismiss that as an audience joke.The gyro capt was off banging the chick with the Whoville haircut (according to the feral kid/storyteller) by then. More of a case of not wasting "good" and the great Bruce Spence was available.
Definitely intentional. Given how Goose makes an inside joke about the 'get-out-of-jail cards' this is probably another of Miller's inside jokes about the cast & crew
There's a Nissan R32 Skyline in Fury Road. There's also a Tesla emblem on the dashboard of the Gigahorse. There isn't supposed to be a set year timeframe.
@@senorbolainas2991 I think the explanation in the modern Mad Max films is that in a world gone to hell, the vehicles that survive are going to be the ones that don't run on computers, are made from metal instead of plastic, are easy to fix, e.g. carburetted vehicles. So regardless of when the fall happened, they'll be driving pre-80's vehicles, which is convenient because that's when the first film was made.
@@wolfie54321carburetors easy to fix. Christ fuck a carb it’s black magic that is definitely not reliable. Plus fuel injected cars were around since the late 70s early 80s. A 1981 Nissan 280zx was fuel injected old 944’s are fuel injected. Hell I drive a car from the early 80s that’s fuel injected
I don't think any of these timelines make any sense, i'm not sure if as much thought was put into it as it was put into this video and i don't say this to mock the franchise but just saying.. Mad max is kind of the dumbest franchise to choose to be a theory crafting fanatic. It's just the kind of entertainment movie that existed before the marvels, it's like just because post apocalpytic, or because it's well made doesn't mean it's meant to be deep and layered and i love the movies but it's just not making any sense on the larger scale. Look at Fallout the franchise, there we know, bombs dropped and roughly 200 years later things pick up with the MC, now it's clear and cut, there are people from the time of the bombs because of hibernation chambers but most people, that just kept on living inside or outside of vaults, generation after generation, slowly forgetting things, sacred old world information etc. In mad max, i'm not sure who is meant to be how old, Immortan Joe was alive during pre apocalyptic world, tops hes 70 but could even be 50 in fury road that means there is but one new born generation if we measure it by a full life cycle, from birth to old age, that generation that was born right after the fall, haven't gotten even old yet. Joe bore children, multiple, many many ones, each taking time to grow. He has children from multiple mothers, so that widens the approximate time-line going counter intuitive from what we know. What about Max, Furiosa, every information we know and or we see promotes a different assumption, i don't know if the fall was 2 years ago, 20, or 200 because all seems like a likely possibility. Max was a Cop ? Hold on. A cop or is that some kind of, post apocalyptic lingo to something totally else, was max alive during the normal world too ? But Furiosa was born after, yet they seem the same age given her hair was intentionally made greyish in the movie, or was he born after or did furiosa just barely born just right after the fall ? Because of Max and Immortan Joe and Furiosa i cannot see a way there is more then one new born generation into the "Fall" wich would be fine, if things didn't also try to tell me that the old world is ancient, like 200 years old. This is why i don't wanna think about Mad Max lore because it just pisses me off. Otherwise i love to enjoy the film because it's just so fucking metal.
@@TimberWulfIsHeresure it could. Just needs to be some bored cops in some desolate forgotten town in the desert. Watching a movie get made while maintaining public safety instead of patrolling empty roads sounds like an awesome day at work. If nobody complains and nobody gets hurt who cares. And maybe as a bonus a few businesses in this dying town (likely friends and family of these cops) get to make some money from the crew. i.e. fuel, groceries, meals, motel/airbnb rentals, auto parts/hardware stores, etc.
Another interesting thing is, a piece of ancillary media I can't remember stated the Pacific Ocean is drastically more shallow and receded while the Atlantic is flooded and the Ice Caps have melted. This is because the fact all the nuclear weapons in the world being shot in all directions from 7 different nations had tectonic/volcanic consequences that significantly altered ocean currents (which, in turn lose their ability to regulate climate). So, it's said Sidney harbor is dry and we see the salt desert that used to be underwater because the Australian Pacific Coast is now 500km further out. It creates an environmental feedback loop with the additional myriad effects of nuclear war that affect the entire area of the world and keep getting worse. Meanwhile, coastal America and Europe are now underwater and the effects of nuclear war are likely even worse there. Meaning these parts of the world are even more irradiated with infrastructure even more ruined while being submerged and possibly even seeing a mini Ice Age. Not good.
miller has said in interviews that after Mad Max 1, there isn't a fixed timeline that we see the stories told about MAX through oral history and legend. Also the mad Max game is an excellent source of lore
The game shows max had a teen daughter and that scrotus is just a bad guy while he actually is a son of Immortan Joe. The game stole future scripts and used them in the wrong way. None of it is canon
@@gawkthimm6030 nope. if you see the credits Miller isn't there. he said tht they stole the scripts cause of the rights warnerbros had and that the story was supposed to be really different. The true story of hope and glory is said in the comic book he has writed
Excited to see this video! Super bummed to see you pushing Better Help after they repeatedly have been busted not background checking their “therapists” or having any accountability for them pissing on video calls or missing appointments or all sorts of things, including selling your data.
Quentin Kenihan, who plays Imortan Joe's son, Corpus Collosus, was told by doctors he probably wouldn't live long enough to see puberty, let alone live up to the age of 50. I'm really glad to see he's still here with us and was ecstatic to see him in the mad max movie.
@@shaun3276Richard Carter is in Furiosa, even though he sadly passed in 2019, I wonder if there is any footage with Quentin Kenihan, since he did say he was reprising his role before he passed.
I was 18 years old when mad max came out and one of my friends older brother was in the vigalanties mc. 13 years later i moved into a house a few streets away from mays house. Cheers from Australia
@@Evandarizzler the Mad Max canon is so convoluted that whether something is canon or not is always up to debate, but some things in the Mad Max game have been pretty much completely changed in Furiosa, most noticeably Scrotus.
@@Evandarizzler It isn't. The only canon content are the films and the comic series. The game is an amalgamation of unused ideas from previously canceled games and unreleased scripts. Which naturally causes it to conflict with the canon story pretty heavily. And ultimately, George Miller was not at all involved with that game as he's been with every film
wrt the timeline and Max' age: Miller is on record that Max may actually not be 1 person, but rather a collection of several real life dudes that oral history/mythology lumped into 1 mythological figure - kinda like Robin Hood or King Arthur.
I dont think the host is that "young", but Fukushima wasnt famous around the nuclear "ethos" only because the 2011 accident. Fukushima was famous already during the late 70s and early 80s as part of the project that would propel Japan to the forefront of the use of nuclear energy, a fact very much in notoriety given that a country which was the only one ever destroyed by a nuclear bomb would be the forefront of the nuclear energy "ideal". The plant started operation on those times, and through the 80s was considered one of the safest in the World. It is proposed that if they did not changed its design philosophy during the 90s, and instead kept their focus, the accident in 2011 would never have happened, as people point out changes for efficiency in the 1990s and 2000s were the primary drive to the weakness that the accident relied on to happen.
I wouldn't have thought that listening to 45 mins of minutes of detail about a series of moves I enjoyed but didn't think too much about would be interesting but you Bryce have changed my mind
I applaud ! You did a really good job of it in making this collection. 'The Wasteland' is the one consistent character through all the films, and the way you delivered all of this was very well chosen. The Wasteland is in our heads... May Good Luck be upon you ~ B.
That was awesome. The one detail that bugs me, is that by Fury Road most steering wheels are "RHT" set up, even though the entire story should take place in a world where "LHT" was predominant, and all salvaged vehicles should reflect that with the steering on the right side of the vehicle.
This video is perfect for a mad max themed DnD game I’m running. I didn’t think I’d be blessed with a lore video on the badlands, may you ride shiny and chrome!
Maybe my favorite thing about the Mad Max video game that WB produced is that they not only invented very little for the world building, but they included details intended for the not-yet-begun sequel/prequel to Fury Road. Also, while the game's plot wasn't very interesting, it had one of the best endings I've ever experienced in a video game.
Since I was a kid I've always loved the mad Max movies. Something in them just spoke to me that this was going to be the future. Horrible people fighting for what's left of resources. But the way they use Joe in the fury road movie. in the way he uses the ideal of The Valkyrie snatching you from the battlefield to bring you Valhalla.that was just chef's kiss on that world.from the moment the first war boy yelled witnessed me as he falls out the citadel trying to get max back in. I know this movie was going to blow my mind. I can't even imagine if they actually gave Miller the money and kept on the series back in the day with Mel Gibson. How many delightful wonderful tasty treats we would have I don't know but it sounds good
Pardon but the "Fall" happens between Mad Max and the Road Warrior, Nukes are used between Road Warrior and Thunderdome. No radiation in story before Thunderdome or Furry Road.
Incredible work, Bryce! I have only seen Fury Road, but the franchise stuck with me. I learned so much from this video! Excited to see the new Furiosa. Thanks!
Big fan of The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunder dome as a kid. I watched Mad Max a few times but I was so confused. It is not post apocalypse and I cant understand anything they say. I still appreciate it tho. But I was so fucking excited for Fury Road. It was critically acclaimed. And it had a little of all my favorite shit except maybe sci fi but some a that too. I won't say I was disappointed but I would've been if not for one thing: the dude playing a monster double guitar FLAME THROWER and he's on like a giant speaker car and he's also on bungie cords. That was and remains the most Rock 'N Roll thing Ive ever witnessed. It is so fucking cool. That alone made it worth it
Damn now I'm hella interested in this whole world of Mad Max! I love these explanation vids, easy to understand while also being super in detail of the world and it's inhabitants. I 💚 it!!
Maybe this is how the timeline goes: Mad Max 1 takes place in 1982 Mad max 2 takes place in 1985 Beyond thunder dome and furiosa take place around the same time Fury road takes place in 2015
I just want to say thank you for educating me I am a long time fan of Mad Max but I did not see that coming I didn't know anything about the comic book references and how it all tied in thank you very much
Only thing the messes with me a little in the newer movies is that there are smart phones used as mirrors in furiosa but you could say that either the rest of the world kept going for a while or that the newer films are set further in the future. If like to think that the rest of the work was still civilised fod a while and that mad max is still pretty old but they couldnt get mel gibson to play as max so they just had to do with someone younger
I'm honestly baffled by the google results for how many a few is. I have always thought a few is exactly 3, a couple is exactly 2, and several is anywhere from 4-9 (although 6 can be a half dozen). 10-11 would be almost a dozen. I always thought it was a set language rule in English, but I guess I was wrong. Learned something totally random on a Mad Max video, lol. I grew up watching Mad Max in the 80s, when we went to our dad's for the weekend we got to watch all the good action and horror movies back then. lol. Loved Fury Road, still have to see the new one.
1963 - Max's Birthdate 1980 - The Fall 1984 - Mad Max (1) 1987 - Road Warrior 1997 - Furiosa's Birthdate 1999 - Nuclear War 2005 - Thunderdome 2007 - Furiosa (beginning) 2025 - Furiosa (ending) 2032 - Fury Road This is all based on legitimate on screen evidence such as the sign in Max 1, as and Max’s back tattoo in Fury Road, as well as too many interviews to count.
And yet it’s still wrong. George Miller even stated “the fall” and the apocalypse could have been anytime. There’s a R32 Nissan skyline in Fury road. A car that came out in 89. There’s Tesla badges on immortan joes car as well.
In Furiosa, the history man refers to the nuclear part of the fall as the "Tri-nation nuclear war" so instead of just 'the two tribes', wouldn't it be three?
"The chief of the Great Northern Tribe, also known as the Feral Child", what a 1-2 sucker punch of lore (I've never consumed any Mad media until your video)
Just a note on Immortan Joe His Gigahorse wasn't actually a V16. Initially they were just going to give it a V8 and put a panel over it to make it look like two V8s but then they got a budget increase so they did it for real. The engine is two V8 engines side by side, connected by an absurdly complicated and custom built gearbox. The reason behind this (and the rest of the Gigahorse's design) was based on the idea of "In a place where most people don't have one of anything, he has two of everything" (or something along those lines, I don't remember the exact quote.
if you think about fukushima. what would happen if someone nuked a place with stuff like uranium? like directly on it, wouldnt the explosion be way bigger? what if thats why theres radiation in austrailia? a huge huge nuke with a lot of uranium?
Max explained it to the children in the third movie. I don't remember the explanation but explained why world is a desert. I think they mean revolution, not evolution. Like the heroes of the American Revolution were considered villains by the King.
Better help. Fined 7 million dollars for leaking details. Using un-licensed theripists. Horrible company. They are also not cheaper than going online and finding a proper therapist.
Am I the only one that thinks this TH-camr and the main guy from New Rockstars, could be brothers? I mean their mannerisms, voice style and the way they talk with their head and hands in the camera is one in one.

Maybe it's best the think of Max as a King Arthur. Did he really exist? Did any of his actions actually take place? Perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe it's the moral lesson that really matters.

It creates an environmental feedback loop with the additional myriad effects of nuclear war that affect the entire area of the world and keep getting worse. Meanwhile, coastal America and Europe are now underwater and the effects of nuclear war are likely even worse there. Meaning these parts of the world are even more irradiated with infrastructure even more ruined while being submerged and possibly even seeing a mini Ice Age. Not good.
kinda like the Metro 2035 lore
sounds like it was more than just a "nuclear skirmish" between two warring tribes
@@raidermaxx2324 imagine use weapons that can blow up entire cities and keep talking about fucking "skirmish". Its all the madness of this universe !
If that is true, then I guess Miller did not research the issue much.
It makes perfect sense that he would also direct happy feet…
When you’re good at something it’s crosses all mediums.
miller has said in interviews that after Mad Max 1, there isn't a fixed timeline that we see the stories told about MAX through oral history and legend.
Also the mad Max game is an excellent source of lore
Did you know that Scrotus is in Furiosa?
He’s redesigned for the better imo, and he’ll be played by Josh Helman (Slit)
@@ultraviolet540 didnt know that, thanks
The game shows max had a teen daughter and that scrotus is just a bad guy while he actually is a son of Immortan Joe. The game stole future scripts and used them in the wrong way. None of it is canon
@@yourkeel9012 they didn't steal anything, they got concept art to work from while the movie was filming,
@@gawkthimm6030 nope. if you see the credits Miller isn't there. he said tht they stole the scripts cause of the rights warnerbros had and that the story was supposed to be really different. The true story of hope and glory is said in the comic book he has writed
Excited to see this video! Super bummed to see you pushing Better Help after they repeatedly have been busted not background checking their “therapists” or having any accountability for them pissing on video calls or missing appointments or all sorts of things, including selling your data.
Can’t thank you enough for this long in depth video on the wasteland of Mad Max.
Its fun to think that the Rock Riders were actually formed by former motorcross and freestyle champions surviving the apocalypse the way they do best
Quentin Kenihan, who plays Imortan Joe's son, Corpus Collosus, was told by doctors he probably wouldn't live long enough to see puberty, let alone live up to the age of 50.
I'm really glad to see he's still here with us and was ecstatic to see him in the mad max movie.
He’s not with us anymore. He died in 2018. 😢
@@shaun3276Richard Carter is in Furiosa, even though he sadly passed in 2019, I wonder if there is any footage with Quentin Kenihan, since he did say he was reprising his role before he passed.
@@shaun3276 oh no! 😪
i thought Rictus Erectus was Immortan Joe's son
@@raidermaxx2324he has a few sons. Idk who is whom. So idk who to grieve for so I shall look it up now.
I was 18 years old when mad max came out and one of my friends older brother was in the vigalanties mc. 13 years later i moved into a house a few streets away from mays house. Cheers from Australia
The making of Mad Max could be a movie all on it's own!
Bryce making a forty five minute video dedicated to Mad Max??
SIGN ME *THE FUCK* UP!
This dude has me staring into his eyes and nodding as is he was talking to me.
Nice to hear some insight into World of Mad Max
" hey fella! Hey fella!.... What a turkey... Hey fella, you're a turkey! You know that?"
Bro forgot the videogame
If I remember that game isn't cannot. But that's good hidden gem
The game sadly isn’t canon, but it’s just considered another legend of the wastes.
@@FischerFilmStudio actually it is
@@Evandarizzler the Mad Max canon is so convoluted that whether something is canon or not is always up to debate, but some things in the Mad Max game have been pretty much completely changed in Furiosa, most noticeably Scrotus.
@@Evandarizzler It isn't. The only canon content are the films and the comic series. The game is an amalgamation of unused ideas from previously canceled games and unreleased scripts. Which naturally causes it to conflict with the canon story pretty heavily. And ultimately, George Miller was not at all involved with that game as he's been with every film
wrt the timeline and Max' age: Miller is on record that Max may actually not be 1 person, but rather a collection of several real life dudes that oral history/mythology lumped into 1 mythological figure - kinda like Robin Hood or King Arthur.
I dont think the host is that "young", but Fukushima wasnt famous around the nuclear "ethos" only because the 2011 accident. Fukushima was famous already during the late 70s and early 80s as part of the project that would propel Japan to the forefront of the use of nuclear energy, a fact very much in notoriety given that a country which was the only one ever destroyed by a nuclear bomb would be the forefront of the nuclear energy "ideal". The plant started operation on those times, and through the 80s was considered one of the safest in the World.
It is proposed that if they did not changed its design philosophy during the 90s, and instead kept their focus, the accident in 2011 would never have happened, as people point out changes for efficiency in the 1990s and 2000s were the primary drive to the weakness that the accident relied on to happen.
Fukishima was famous??? not in my country(America) we never heard of it until it melted down lol
@@raidermaxx2324”in the world” not America. Which btw isn’t a country.
The actual video starts at 3:28
Definitely more Mad Max please.
Great video. I could tell you put ALOT of time and energy into this video. It deserves more views!
0:06 as an Australian I can confirm this
The first Mad Max I saw was Thunderdome (also how I learned who Tina Turner was 😂) nice to hear about it again. "2 men enter, 1 man leaves!"
Spin the wheel! Who runs barter town!?!??!
MasterBlaster runs Barter town
I wouldn't have thought that listening to 45 mins of minutes of detail about a series of moves I enjoyed but didn't think too much about would be interesting but you Bryce have changed my mind
I applaud ! You did a really good job of it in making this collection. 'The Wasteland' is the one consistent character through all the films, and the way you delivered all of this was very well chosen. The Wasteland is in our heads... May Good Luck be upon you ~ B.
This video is really making me want to replay the game
That was awesome. The one detail that bugs me, is that by Fury Road most steering wheels are "RHT" set up, even though the entire story should take place in a world where "LHT" was predominant, and all salvaged vehicles should reflect that with the steering on the right side of the vehicle.
Yes, it bugs me too
Excellent vid and narrative. Youre giving the world depth. Thank you.
As a long time fan of the MM franchise, this was awesome!! Nice work
This video is perfect for a mad max themed DnD game I’m running. I didn’t think I’d be blessed with a lore video on the badlands, may you ride shiny and chrome!
27:55 this is so interesting as when I watched Fury Road, it made me think of The Border Rievers on the anglo-scottish border and Tower houses
I’m here for the rants as well and the information. Thank you for your service 😅
The Captain's Girl in Mad Max 2 was played by Arkie Whitely, Brett Whitely's daughter. Great video! I love nerding out on time lines like this
Maybe my favorite thing about the Mad Max video game that WB produced is that they not only invented very little for the world building, but they included details intended for the not-yet-begun sequel/prequel to Fury Road. Also, while the game's plot wasn't very interesting, it had one of the best endings I've ever experienced in a video game.
It's kinda funny to me just how random Bryce picks his topics to go over.
Super cool video. That's a bit of a heavy lift thinking that The Great Humongous was Goose but it's a cool theory.
Since I was a kid I've always loved the mad Max movies. Something in them just spoke to me that this was going to be the future. Horrible people fighting for what's left of resources. But the way they use Joe in the fury road movie. in the way he uses the ideal of The Valkyrie snatching you from the battlefield to bring you Valhalla.that was just chef's kiss on that world.from the moment the first war boy yelled witnessed me as he falls out the citadel trying to get max back in. I know this movie was going to blow my mind. I can't even imagine if they actually gave Miller the money and kept on the series back in the day with Mel Gibson. How many delightful wonderful tasty treats we would have I don't know but it sounds good
Pardon but the "Fall" happens between Mad Max and the Road Warrior, Nukes are used between Road Warrior and Thunderdome. No radiation in story before Thunderdome or Furry Road.
I DONT KNOW WHO IS MORE MAD, ME OR THIS WORLD!
Please dive deeper into Mad Max in more videos. Thank you.
Incredible work, Bryce! I have only seen Fury Road, but the franchise stuck with me. I learned so much from this video! Excited to see the new Furiosa. Thanks!
Big fan of The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunder dome as a kid. I watched Mad Max a few times but I was so confused. It is not post apocalypse and I cant understand anything they say. I still appreciate it tho.
But I was so fucking excited for Fury Road. It was critically acclaimed. And it had a little of all my favorite shit except maybe sci fi but some a that too.
I won't say I was disappointed but I would've been if not for one thing: the dude playing a monster double guitar FLAME THROWER and he's on like a giant speaker car and he's also on bungie cords.
That was and remains the most Rock 'N Roll thing Ive ever witnessed. It is so fucking cool. That alone made it worth it
I literally just found your videos today and my FAVORITE part is your incoherent rants and side tangents and I feel like you deserve to know that
As a guitar slinger, I can only imagine how cool playing coma doof must have been
Damn now I'm hella interested in this whole world of Mad Max! I love these explanation vids, easy to understand while also being super in detail of the world and it's inhabitants. I 💚 it!!
I know your Hunger Games videos didn’t get the most views, but I really enjoyed all of them
Maybe this is how the timeline goes:
Mad Max 1 takes place in 1982
Mad max 2 takes place in 1985
Beyond thunder dome and furiosa take place around the same time
Fury road takes place in 2015
loving the vid, beard looks great!
I just want to say thank you for educating me I am a long time fan of Mad Max but I did not see that coming I didn't know anything about the comic book references and how it all tied in thank you very much
Thx now i understand the movie Hop and Glory much better!
Only thing the messes with me a little in the newer movies is that there are smart phones used as mirrors in furiosa but you could say that either the rest of the world kept going for a while or that the newer films are set further in the future. If like to think that the rest of the work was still civilised fod a while and that mad max is still pretty old but they couldnt get mel gibson to play as max so they just had to do with someone younger
the buzzards vehicles always remind me of one of the cars from the Australian movie The Cars that Ate Paris (1974)
I'm honestly baffled by the google results for how many a few is. I have always thought a few is exactly 3, a couple is exactly 2, and several is anywhere from 4-9 (although 6 can be a half dozen). 10-11 would be almost a dozen. I always thought it was a set language rule in English, but I guess I was wrong. Learned something totally random on a Mad Max video, lol. I grew up watching Mad Max in the 80s, when we went to our dad's for the weekend we got to watch all the good action and horror movies back then. lol. Loved Fury Road, still have to see the new one.
1963 - Max's Birthdate
1980 - The Fall
1984 - Mad Max (1)
1987 - Road Warrior
1997 - Furiosa's Birthdate
1999 - Nuclear War
2005 - Thunderdome
2007 - Furiosa (beginning)
2025 - Furiosa (ending)
2032 - Fury Road
This is all based on legitimate on screen evidence such as the sign in Max 1, as and Max’s back tattoo in Fury Road, as well as too many interviews to count.
And yet it’s still wrong. George Miller even stated “the fall” and the apocalypse could have been anytime. There’s a R32 Nissan skyline in Fury road. A car that came out in 89. There’s Tesla badges on immortan joes car as well.
In Furiosa, the history man refers to the nuclear part of the fall as the "Tri-nation nuclear war" so instead of just 'the two tribes', wouldn't it be three?
This was really engaging.
great video, mate
had a lot of fun
"The chief of the Great Northern Tribe, also known as the Feral Child", what a 1-2 sucker punch of lore (I've never consumed any Mad media until your video)
Loved every second of this video! So well done, I had to subscribe. 👏🏼👏🏼
Wait, it's done? I think I could have easily watched another hour. Thanks!
2 mins in and i feel like ur looking into my soul especially with that ad
Just a note on Immortan Joe
His Gigahorse wasn't actually a V16. Initially they were just going to give it a V8 and put a panel over it to make it look like two V8s but then they got a budget increase so they did it for real. The engine is two V8 engines side by side, connected by an absurdly complicated and custom built gearbox.
The reason behind this (and the rest of the Gigahorse's design) was based on the idea of "In a place where most people don't have one of anything, he has two of everything" (or something along those lines, I don't remember the exact quote.
Great job….making me confused! J/k the timeline being screwed is good info. Great job.
if you think about fukushima. what would happen if someone nuked a place with stuff like uranium? like directly on it, wouldnt the explosion be way bigger? what if thats why theres radiation in austrailia? a huge huge nuke with a lot of uranium?
Love your videos.
"Thank you so much .. for the money" hahaha
Great content.
For the budget of the original movie, they put out a really good product, especially for that time.
.. a timeless classic
Max explained it to the children in the third movie. I don't remember the explanation but explained why world is a desert. I think they mean revolution, not evolution. Like the heroes of the American Revolution were considered villains by the King.
Excellent encyclopedia. Turns "that looks supid" into "oh that makes alot of sense".
I had way too much fun watching the War Boys. Their last act is literally to go "Look how cool my finisher is!"
16:33 That title was absolutely sick
Better help. Fined 7 million dollars for leaking details. Using un-licensed theripists. Horrible company. They are also not cheaper than going online and finding a proper therapist.
Love your work. Keep it up
I think the 45 years since the fall is in referral to the first mad max movie coming out exactly 45 years ago
I was thinking that too. It’s simple math!
Brilliant recap and insight! Thank you!
Don't you just love Dementus' monster truck in Furiosa? 😂 Reminds me so much of here with those monster truck shows. They might have one someday.
I love that they're called the Boobalini. Totally love it.
As a fellow ADHD-er, I love your tangents 😂 1000/10 excellent content
You have the best explain videos lol
Do you not know better help is a scam, dude?
I’ve heard it’s not great, but didn’t know it was a scam. Can you be more specific?
back then, it was
but nowadays, it's legit but serverly overpriced and not worth it
Have you looked into that yourself? Or are you just parroting something you heard?
No it’s not
Better Scam
I didnt know this was a thing. I'm all in. Lets go !!!
🥳🥳🥳
“I am the scales of justice! Conductor of the choir of death! Sing, brother Heckler! Sing, brother Koch! Sing, brothers! Sing! SING!”
More mad max please!
Some vehicles in Fury Road are post 80s like a R32 Skyline, The Gigahorse also has a Tesla emblem welded on its dashboard
I really enjoy your videos
Great Stuff. love the detail as I was not aware of many of the details you gave. I think I'm going to have to find the mad max comic you were showing!
good stuff, very informative🙂🙂
Am I the only one that thinks this TH-camr and the main guy from New Rockstars, could be brothers? I mean their mannerisms, voice style and the way they talk with their head and hands in the camera is one in one.
There's a Gastown in Vancouver, it's not named for gasoline, it's named for farts, Gassy Jack, who the neighbourhood was named after, had a fetish for beans.
Awesome video, more mad max please
The production of the first movie was insane.
Ah, the way I'll rewatch this series as I've rewatched the Hunger Games' videos 😌
Well that just kinda ended abruptly!
Part 2 when???
