- Welcome to our first-time reaction to Mad Max: Fury Road. Ready for a high-octane post-apocalyptic masterpiece? This film is absolutely insane and probably one of the most unique action films we've seen. They redefined what it means to be part of the action genre! The intense car chases still has us thrilled just thinking about them!
In this gripping film, we'll witness the relentless pursuit of survival led by the iconic Max Rockatansky, portrayed by Tom Hardy, and the fierce Imperator Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron. As we navigate the high-speed chaos and encounter the War Boys and other post-apocalyptic inhabitants.
First off we have to give a huge shoutout to the cinematography in this film! It is raw, it is relentless and it is absolute perfection combined with the choices for the color grade.
We hope you enjoy our reactions and commentary as we delve into the film's impact on action cinema. From the fast cutting that gives you a ferocious pace to the stunning practical effects that bring the dystopian world to life. This movie has both adrenaline-pumping scenes and underlying themes of redemption and freedom. All this combined has made Mad Max: Fury Road a modern classic that we will definitely add as one of our favorite action films in recent years.

What I love about this movie is that there is no awkward exposition dialogue. George Miller trusts the audience to be smart enough to understand the world.
So true - you just play catchup a little but then you're up to speed! It helps make the world feel more lived in!
"Show, don't tell"
The really clever thing is most of the exposition of this world is laid out in Joe’s big speech - im the lord here, i control all the water, here is my war boys, my imperator Furiosa, my war rig, we trade our water for gasoline and bullets and i am also massively cruel bastard. Add that the scene with the missing girls and you have most of the info you need. Brilliantly economical by Miller.
It's the 4th in a series, the world is established
FACTS!! That's literally all the info the audience needed.@@TheWaynos73
Fun fact since you complimented the editing, the director's wife actually edited it and won an Oscar for it. Such a masterpiece.
cool. never knew that
She did it because anyone else would have just edited it like anyother movie.
Mad Max drops us into the world with enclosed stories. One of the beauties is that Max is not really the main character, he's a vessel for the audience to view other character's struggles and stories. He always leaves at the end, with only the consequences of his actions remaining and the legend that he leaves behind with the people he's helped.
Because they do it that way, honestly, it makes for a near infinite wellspring of stories they could do.
It’s a great tool for storytelling really! He’s just tagging along just like us the viewers. Can’t wait to see what else they come up with in Furiosa 😄
I guess he's kinda like the Man with No Name i.e. Clint Eastwood in that series of Westerns
Yeah, plus all the movies except for the first one are told from the p.o.v. of one of the characters he helps, so they're basically folk tales about this badass stranger they met and helped them out pretty much against his will and complaining all the time, and sometimes the details of the story don't match perfectly like they do in most movie trilogies/franchises but in this case it doesn't matter.
the emphasis on blood isn't really that Max is special, it's just that blood is the only thing that you own in this world. Them taking it forcibly from Max is a contrast to him giving it to her freely at the end of the movie.
Same with Nux saying ‘Witness Me’ and then sacrificing himself at the end - but this time for a cause that matters.
And that the "Half Life War Boys" have what seems to be some sort of Leukemia, and need blood transfusions to keep them alive.
Thank all of you for the added context! We were wondering if we had maybe missed something that was prevalent in previous films 😃
True, but, more specifically and IFAIK, one of the common and most deleterious expressions of cancers frequent in cases of irradiation is a degrading ability to produce red blood cells, creating symptoms of anemia and eventual organ failure. And Max, for whatever reason, seems to possess some level of resistance to that disease, making his blood literally more potent.
@@michaelccozens Everyone has some degree of natural radiation resistance since there's small amounts of background radiation everywhere, but some people have the ability to "level up" this resistance quite a lot.
For example, one of the survivors of Thjernobyl (I think it was the plant manager but I'm not sure) had also survived a reactor leak on a submarine at an earlier point.
It took home several Oscars and shocked everyone by being nominated for Best Picture and Best Director, which was pretty unheard of for something Sci-Fi and a sequel.
I understand what you mean but i think you can't realky classify th Mad Max as Sci-fi movies
@@Square-ow7oq Its a movie about an apocalyptic man-made future. That is pretty textbook sci-fi.
Not just sci-fi, but an action movie. Action movies never get any love from the academy so this was definitely a standout film.
If any action picture deserved to win best picture it would have been this one.
@@Square-ow7oqThe apocalypse is a common trope in sci-fi novels. It all doesn’t always involve aliens and space ships.
Not just an action movie, but one of the best films ever in my opinion. So glad to see a reaction from you guys.
This was incredible! Visually outstanding and a thrill of a ride! Thank you for watching 😃
You have a pathetic taste
Top 2 action movies alongside Terminator 2.
In my humble opinion.
@@matheuskeunecke1335for sure!!!
Along with Ninja Scroll, probably the single best example of never wasting a second in an action movie.
I love the whole "addicted to water speach" sums up politicians, "Don't become addicted to housing, for you will resent it's absences."
I saw this movie in imax while I was pregnant and the sound design was so intense my daughter was flipping around with the vibrations 😂😂
She was having a hell of a ride in there! Haha
One of my favorite action movies, I saw this on IMAX, and it was one of the best experiences. The cinematography, the sound design, the score, the performances, the characters-it's a great film.
Man! I wish Imax would play older movies every now and then. Especially those that are designed to watch on the largest screen. We would definitely go watch Mad Max! Such a great time
@@OfficialMediaKnights One or the woman is Elvis Presley`s granddaughter too...
@@kylereese4822 You mean Capable (the ginger one)
Saaaame. Seeing this in IMAX was one of my favoritest experiences ever
Furiosa is coming folks.
George mIller, the director, is in hia 70's and his wife (also 70's) edited the film, which I love so much. It really shows that not only does she understand how to plot the frames so you don't get "action fatigue" but she literally made it easy on the eyes on purpose. if one shot ends in the top right, the next frame will start from top right so your eyes don't have to dart all around to understand whats happening. and i believe it's her influence that made this movie have so much heart and such human characters in a thoroughly alien world.
That's not on her. That's the cinematography and director plotting the shots that way. While she did a fantastic job on editing and bringing focus on the minimal story, the shots were planned ahead. That's why the screenplay is more of a comic.
I've always liked the idea that the Mad Max films are tales told in the future, of a legendary wanderer named Max who accidentally ends up involved in others' problems and helps them solve things before he moves on. A sort of post-apocalyptic ronin.
an australlian sam beckett
@@deeboweb Max is NOT australian at all, nor the character OR the actors who play him, unless you mean the setting looks like a crazy post-apocalyptic version of Australia than yeah I can kinda see where you might say that.
@@Gadget-Walkmen the Mad Max movies are all set in Australia, and the character is most definitely Aussie too. Always surprised when people don't know that.
@@knight8618 They are set in australia for filming but not actually supposed to be there for the in-universe lore. That's what I mean. The character isn't supposed to be "aussie" either as I don't see any proof of that at all unless you can provide some.
@@Gadget-Walkmen Sure can, literally google Max Rockatansky, and the info provided tells you he is a Main Force Patrol officer in Victoria, Australia. The filming is done in australia AND is set there. In Beyond Thunderdome, the survivors at the end literally move to Sydney. I don't know how you didn't find proof unless you didnt actually look.
alot of people seem to miss the reason for the guitar playing, it's not just for background music, it's a way to relay orders to everyone, cause they don't have any radios or any other way to communicate. Cavalry riders used to have trumpets or battle drums to convey orders to charge or change formations and stuff like that, but there's no instrument loud enough to be heard over the crazy rumbling of tens of engines like they use in the movie, so they needed a wall of speakers and a guitar player to do that.
And a team of Amplified Kettle drummers😅
I usually describe this movie like this:
Its actionactionactionactionaction, take a big breath, then more actionactionactionactionaction.
It gives the audience just enough of a breather in between action sequences so it doesnt get stale. Its masterfully crafted to keep the audience's attention.
It really is! I was surprised by the insane pace! It truly felt like a rollercoaster. Non stop with just enough pause to anticipate the next big drop 😃
lol
One of the most criminally underrated movies maybe ever. This one is my personal favorite action film of all time. It's one of those ones where every frame is deliberate and artistic. I LOVE this film. I keep hoping we'll get a sequel to it someday but between the strike and whatever other reasons I don't think we will.
Not exactly underrated - it was both a critical and commercial smash around the world on its release.
We’re also hoping for a sequel! This was such a blast! Surprised to hear it was underrated. This film deserves a lot of recognition! The filmmaking was superb!
@@vercoda9997 And I still say it was underrated. That's how good it was.
@@Attelocin217 This movie was wildly successful and was nominated for multiple Oscars, including best picture. It won quite a few technical Oscars. I don’t really understand how an Oscar winning and wildly successful movie is underrated.
Underrated? It was nominated for Oscars bro...lol
A masterpiece. A film of intention. Not a single wasted frame. No overstuffing with exposition. Everything is in the visual cues/details and the performances 🤌🏿
WITNESSED! The original trailer with Verdi's Dies Irae had me hyped going to see this in theater but the movie exceeded my expectations entirely. George Miller really made a masterpiece!
Can’t wait to rewatch this! It really is such a wild ride in the best way. George Miller did a fantastic job. The movie had such a unique tone and the filmmaking choices definitely made it more intense.
As a kid growing up in the 80s, I was so influenced by this series - especially #2 - that I even started to raise Blue Heeler / ACD dogs. I've owned 3 since that movie. Mad Max had a huge effect on my life. #1 was good. #2 was amazing. #3 just pretty good. But Fury Road absolutely was the exclamation point as #4. Praying #5 finally gets made.
Miller wants to, but much like with Peter Jackson, the studio really f'ed him about financially, and to say Theron and Hardy didn't get on would apparently be a massive understatement. But yeah, fingers crossed all that can be sorted out.
As a fan of the original Mad Max movies i really enjoyed this.. the addition of an abundance of 'Aussie Slang' was a great call back to the originals.. its grimy, sweaty, gritty, raw, wild and i love it.. 😋 so glad you enjoyed it guys 😉👍🇦🇺 "Do not my friends become addicted to water, it will take hold of you and you will resent its absence"
We’re definitely adding the originals to our must watch list! Can’t wait to check it out. This was such an amazing time 😃
It's a shame Max lost his trusty car, Black Pursuit 😭 I hope y'all also checking out Mad Max 1-3. Those are classic! Huge influence for pop culture (huge inspirations for Fallout video games and post apocalyptic works).
There is literally a _Mad Max_ video game that came out roughly at the time when _Fury Road_ was in theatres. It's an open world RPG and car chases, where the player (as Max) can mod his car and interact with NPCs (similar to the _Borderlands_ and _Fallout_ games).
How often did max loose this car in all the movies? Two times?
The director of the movie asked his wife if she could edit the movie which gives it a different vibe from other action movies and ended up receiving an award for it
And by "an award", you mean an Oscar?
Edit:
Iirc, MMFR won 6 Oscars, 5 of which were won or split by women.
@@trulybtd5396 Yes! We must always remember the labels! Have to have labels! Were any of them people of color though?
@@Raptchur huh?
Whenever I talk about this movie, I don't use the words "action scenes" but rather I talk about "action acts". Because damn it rarely let go of the gas pedal !
Miller's camera work is just out of this world. Dozens of vehicles, actions to follow at sevral points in space, many cuts, all filmed in a passing desert with few visual references for the viewer... and yet you never feel lost in the space or confused. You always know where is what in relation to the rest. Just a class of its own.
I recommend looking up videos about the editing in this movie. They took great care in making sure that the action flows very smoothly from shot to shot, in many cases shooting very wide, and then cropping the frame so that they had freedom to animate the field of view, so that in each shot your eye is deliberately dragged to the point on the screen where the action in the next shot begins. So despite the large number of cuts, you never lose track of the action.
One of the most masterfully edited movies of all time, particularly when it comes to action.
It’s literally as close to perfect on a technical level as I can imagine a movie of this type being. This movie gets covered in graduate level classes on cinematography and editing at the best film schools in the world for a reason.
10 years since and you can tell this movie will stand up as great for many years more.
How did we leave the theater? Well, my date and I rode home from the IMAX blasting Motörhead. This seriously is one heck of an experience and worth every amount of praise that gets heaped upon it. You can clearly see why George Miller's post-apocalyptic vision is such an inspiration not just to filmmaking, but to storytelling, worldbuilding, character building, and yes as you so perfectly described it, *high octane* adrenaline-pumping action. For this alone the man is guaranteed the throne of a master builder and visionary in Valhalla.
when i saw the dubbed Australian original in 1980, i never would’ve known that this is where we’d be decades later on Fury Road. 🔥🏎️💨
Haha we can only Imagine that! What a time to be alive!
Love this movie so much! The guitar playing guy, in addition to being awesome, is there because his playing/flames passes signals from Joe to the rest of the cars.
I don't have the required knowledge to properly express how good this film is, but the world-building is amazing. He's created a whole unique culture that the film shows you instead of having the characters tell you, and I want to know more about it; see more stories told within it. The way the music from the Doof Wagon (lol) blends with the score, the visuals, the stunts? So epic. If this movie gets you hyped, and you haven't seen Dredd (2012) you really should. It stands alongside this one as two of the best action movies in the last 20 years.
As a little aside I just wanna say that I enjoy those little zoom-in edits in your reactions. That 'dude what?' face at the "addicted to water" line, the slurping faces during the fight with the hose, both jamming out to the guitar. Amazing. 😂👌
Adding Dredd to our list! Excited to watch another awesome action flick. This was such a joy to watch. Thank you so much for watching this with us and taking the time to say something nice ❤️🤘😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights I'll be on the look out for it, and you're welcome! Thank you for sharing your reactions with us all.
I grew up with the Mel Gibson Trilogy and it stands alone IMO. This is Furiosa's story and we ride along with Max now, witnessing his experiences as the lone wanderer. This format allows several movies to be made independently with Max being the eyes of the viewer for the most part. I appreciate the 'Rat Fink' inspiration with the vehicle designs.
Every time I see this or clips, I want to install the game again.
THERE’S A GAME?!?
@@davidhoffer2542 Yes, by Warner Bros, whom also had success with the Batman series and the Mordor series (Lord of the Rings) among other movie based games.
This is The Citadel's story. As told by a "History Man."
This throws a lot of viewers, but Road Warrior, Thunderdome and Fury Road are all stories being told by someone else about long past events.
Max happens to be the common thread that runs through them.
@@tommc3622 Was the feral child the narrator of the Road Warrior as I 'believed, or actually this History Man? I made my thoughts based on the way the movies had portrayed the main narrative. I look forward to the next one.
@terrylandess6072 Yes, Road Warrior is narrated by the Feral Kid.
The Chief of The Great Northern Tribe.
All 3 are told by different people.
"History Men" (and women) of The Citadel keep important events and records tattooed on their bodies.
That is why the old woman in Fury Road is covered in them.
I watched this in the cinema… was so enraptured by this film I didn’t touch my concessions. By the end of the movie I just sat there mindlessly watching the end credits.
To this day one of the best action in a movie I have ever seen.
CinemaWins did a very good 3 part breakdown of Fury Road. Well worth the watch if you get the chance.
PS: great reaction
Y'all have rapidly become one of my new favorite reaction channels, because you're both extremely preceptive in terms of storytelling as well as the more technical aspects of filmmaking. This movie is, of course, a masterpiece in both regards. And this is an excellent reaction. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you for the massive compliment and for watching this with us! This truly is a masterpiece. What a visual feast!
The action - most of it practical, as you've noticed - is, of course, a huge appeal of this movie, but I think I appreciate the show-don't-tell storytelling even more. They show you this post-apocalyptic world with mutants, warlords and weird cultures built around the remains of the old world with little to no exposition, and it all comes together in a way that makes sense for the setting.
This movie directed by the great George Miller won 6 Academy Awards . He directed the first Mad Max starring Mel Gibson in 1979 , which was followed by Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior with Gibson and the third one Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome with Gibson and Tina Turner. They are in the process of making a prequel to this movie expanding on the early life of Furiosa Charlize Theron’s character. Coming out in 2024.
The first half of the movie is a chase. The second half is a race.
3-Way Tied with Cap Am Winter Soldier and The Batman, this is my favourite movie of all time.
Everything in this movie is real and works - all the vehicles, even the guitar that shoots fire. George Miller wanted everything on the screen to be real on screen with just a few CGI enhancements. The Polecats (like the guy who grabbed Zoe K out of the top of the car) were Cirque Du Soleil performers. That was actually Tom Hardy strapped to the front of that car and he was TERRIFIED.
IMO everyone should watch the making of featurettes after seeing the film. Especially about the vehicles
Tom Holkenborg did a good job with the musical score in my opinion. Most of it sounds very gritty and primal. The drums were the main character in the music. Heavy, loud and tribal. The brass and strings are secondary here. They’re also loud as well but also triumphant at times. I also like that you hear some guitars in the music as well. Gives off a heavy metal kind of vibe. I also really dig those intense and dissonant electronics too! There is also some lovely choirs but are used sparingly. There are some rather somber and hauntingly beautiful moments too. This is basically a mix of Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Of course, the music is not for everybody. Orchestral purists would HATE the drumming being too much and not being subtle. However, I’m a lover of not only orchestral majesty but I’m also a lover of drums and heavy metal as well.
They hired professional Motocross riders for the motorcycle stunt work, and Cirque du Soleil performers for the "polecats".
Whoaaa!!! You can tell though, having practical effects for a film like this, makes such a huge difference!! Glad they chose that path for this one!
The cinematography of this movie is staggering. Non-stop, fast-paced action with many rapid cuts and you don’t lose the thread of the action for even a moment. That’s an impressive feat.
tom hardy and charlize theron hated each other when filming this and hardly spoke to each other.great film.
Well you guys should definitely watch the original Mad Max movies of the 80's starring Mel Gibson. They are part of the foundation that started the Australian low budget film genre. #2 is what this one is mainly based off of (the elements).
I've frequently described this film to those I'm encouraging to see it as "A two hour post-apocalyptic car chase, that is also art."
A note regarding the style that looks like an accelerated camera edit is that it is not an edit, the director concentrates the movement in the center of the scene and on the sides the people and objects remain still or without interaction, it generates the illusion of acceleration but it is a frenetic style that works in fight sequences although there the camera moves sometimes losing that notion.
It's one of the few movies I watched TWICE in theater Mostly because the first time was so overwhelming in wasn't sure to fully catch all the details
The soundtrack from Junkie XL is incredible and the editing from Margaret Sixel (George Miller's own wife who didn't edit any action movie before) magnifies her husband's work (she won many prices including a BAFTA and an Oscar for that)
Most of the stunts and effects are practical (they just used some compositing tricks mainly for safety reasons) and all the cars are junkyard frankenstein monsters that are fully functionnal
Fun fact: the actor who played the pregnant breeder who died and was cut open for the baby is Rosie Huntington Whitely, a Victoria's Secret super model and long time partner of Jason Statham, the action star, who is 20 years older. They have two children together, are engaged but not married.
Actor who played Immortant Joe was in first Mad Max movie as leader of motorcycle gang.
Mad Max: Fury Road is arguably one of the greatest films ever made, and anyone who thinks it's just an action movie has no idea what they are looking at. It may be the greatest action film of all time, but it's also one of the most beautiful and emotional films ever made as well. I've seen it probably DOZENS of times, and yet I still have tears in my eyes with almost every word, every action, every movement, every cut, every expression...
stunt team had such a blast filming this, the studio crew had to actively tell them No on doing certain stunts while they insisted that they could do it. One of the reasons why majority of this film is practical and legit stunt work. The heart of this film is in the love put into every little detail by everyone involved
A lot of ignorant people will tell you everything is practical and those people are wrong, this movie is one of the best examples of practical and CGI, every action scene is a mix of both in a very extraordinary manner. People need to know better about CGI, even today: look for the video 'No CGI means invisible CGI'
I love the practical effects in this. Fun reaction. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I am so glad I saw this in the theater. That score is so good, I couldn't stop listening to it for a couple of months.
Amazing production quality on your videos, and love your filmmaking observations and analysis. Great video and channel
as great as they act together, it is known that Ms. Theron and Tom Hardy only spoke to each other when they were filming.
If you like hot sand, shining monsters with tires and some open air fire guitar madness this movie is your path!!!
This movie was beyond my wildest expectations. Ive been a fan of Bane now im a fan of Max. Tom Hardy is such a phenomenal actor
My favorite part is Nux the War Boy's redemption arc and his sacrifice for the girl, the group and their cause.
If you haven't seen the first three movies you have no idea who Max is. This is a Furiosa movie not a Mad Max movie. “My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos. Ruined dreams. This wasted land. But most of all, I remember the Road Warrior. The man we called “Max”. "That was the last time we saw him. He lives now, only in my memories." "This ain’t one body’s story. It’s the story of us all. We got it mouth-to-mouth, so you got to listen it and ‘member, ’cause what you hears today you got to tell the birthed tomorrow.” Max is the legend of the man who came out of the waste to save others then is left behind, never able to find peace. Maybe there was no Max. Maybe it's only a myth. Maybe there were many Maxes. It story told by many narrators and so the story is unreliable.
This is the only mad max movie I have watch. I love it cause it’s all action and less talk
We wanna watch the originals and catch up with the rest. But this one was such a great introduction to the world 😃
Love how the australian society crumbles from normal to this in less than 45 years 😄
Only film I've ever seen more than once in Theater was Fury Road. In fact, I went and saw it 3 times. Cannot wait for the new film
Furiosa screaming on the sand: what a shot!
Someone pointed out to me the other day, The guitar guy is there to command other vehicles. That is why hes always behind Joe
This is what academy award-winning effects look like
When she talks about "Redemption ", it's because she is one of the bad guys. Kidnapped but turned into one of them. Those guys would loot and kill, leaving a pile of dead people behind. You guys should watch the trilogy, original Mad Max movies to understand.
First time watching this movie with you guys. Wow this is amazing 😭 What an epic experience this must have been in a theater Holy..🤘
I feel bad for people who didn’t see this in the theater. You F’d up
One of the best action films of all time, there's simply nothing else like it, except of course for the previous Mad Max films. But this takes the action sequences from those, cranks them up to 11 and has the whole film based around them, plus managing to get some actual story and characters in as well. Amazing! Furiousa prequel is due out sometime in the next year or two, pity the stakes will be lowered because we know she survives but if they can re-create the magic of the action in this movie, bring it on!
Lmao! Denise said “it’s cohesive yo!” That reminds me of Disturbia! My friends and I say that all the time “Yo it’s cohesive!!” 🔥
Great Reaction. Charlize Theron & Tom Hardy were great. Can't wait for 'Furiosa' movie to come out next yr.
I love this movie so much. I'm so glad I got to see it in theaters...it's so visually stunning, and the soundtrack is incredible.
This is awesome, getting to see your first reactions to some of the best movies!
I'm glad I saw to movie at the theater with my open-minded mom (RIP) who really loved it. :P
This was such a great time! It makes us so happy to hear you enjoyed 😃 we’ll definitely check out the first trilogy as well. Sounds like she was awesome! May she RIP❤️
One of my favorite movies of all time! As far as Mad Max goes, Road Warrior still holds a very special place in my heart. But Fury Road is such a damn good spectacle to watch! Watching it when it first came out in IMAX was the *best* experience!
Fun fact: Beside the far landscape an the sand storm ever crash IS real, no cgi, just good old stunt drivers. Miller said neither this way or nothing.
Hey Abhishek From India ...I usually like the reaction of those who gives their knowledge about Camera ,angle Just like Yoboyrishi channel and u are one of them ....just the thumbs up from my side ...u two good job eh ......
Oh! Wonderful! Another great one with you two. This is going to be a lot of high energy fun. I'm behind y'all on a few recent reactions. Films in the stack, but as yet unwatched. Maybe if I spent less time on TH-cam... :) Anyway, thanks! Here we go!
Haha aw thank youuu!! Your support means the world to us, truly!! We also feel ya on being sucked down the YT rabbit hole, so no worries! Whenever you catch up, we're excited to hear what you think of our reactions!
;)
New drinking game... For every oooppphhht take a shot! 😂 😂
Great film, I bloody love it... Tom H and charlize T absolutely hated each other as well!!
One of the greatest movies of all time. Period.
WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!!!!!!! This is in my top 20 of favorite movies
Hell yeah! You got some good taste!
Mel Gibson was the first actor and the OG to play Max Rockatansky in Mad Max, Mad Max: Road Warrior; and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome with the late Tina Turner.
We've heard incredible things about the originals and want to check them out asap!
One movie I know you guys would love if you haven't seen it already is (Frequency) its a underrated gem that i feel more people should see
Had a blast watching with you ❤
I remember back then I watched a few trailers and thought it was a dumb movie.
A friend of mine had an extra ticket and I went to see it, never have I been so wrong, we were speechless, this movie was insane.
I watched this at the theaters, multiple times. It blew my mind, every time. I remember telling my coworkers they needed to see this movie, describing it as a cinematic orgasm to watch. It was like George Miller saw all these horrible remakes being made of movies and said; "Hold my beer. I'm not waiting for someone to make a remake of my character. Let me show you how it's done!" I can't wait for the Furiosa movie!
If you liked this one, you should watch the original 3. Road Warrior, Mad Max, & Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
i love that the plot of the movie is basically turning left then turning right
Another Australian post-apocalyptic action movie that came out in the time of the old Mad Max trilogy with Mel Gibson was the 1989 movie _The Salute of the Jugger_ (which had its titled changed in the USA to _The Blood of Heroes_ for some reason) starring the Dutch stage and movie actor Rutger Hauer who had worked with Verhoeven in 1973 and made his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone film Nighthawks (1981). Rutger Hauer also starred in i.e. _Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, Flesh & Blood, Blind Fury, Sin City._
From Wikipedia:
In a barren world caused by wars waged in the 20th century and now forgotten, most live from hand to mouth in enclaves known as "market-towns" or "dog-towns", scrounging out a bare subsistence harvesting hardy crops, raising dogs as food, and trading in trinkets from the past.
What little entertainment exists comes primarily from a brutal sport known as The Game. It is played by bands of roving teams known as juggs, who challenge local teams. They might be considered professional athletes, as they make their living through the tribute paid by the town people, should they defeat the local team. Their trophy is the dog skull from the town. The Game involves two armoured teams of five attempting to score by placing a dog skull on the opposing team's goalpost. One unarmed player-the "quick"-runs with the skull while being protected by his/her teammates from attack by the opposing team.
However, not all in this time live so sparsely. The Nine Cities, buried deep underground, are home to affluent and powerful members of the aristocracy. Each of The Nine Cities fields its own team of juggs in an organization known as The League, and its membership is maintained with a fresh stream of new players who are proven veterans of the travelling "dog-town" games by their collection of trophy skulls.
Members of The League live in luxury almost equal to that of aristocrats. It is a dream among roving juggs to be good enough to get The League's attention and, with it, all of the luxuries afforded a League player.
Steven Soderbergh, who is no slouch as a director, said he had no idea how George Miller made this movie without killing a hundred people.
I highly recommend watching Road Warrior aka Mad Max 2. It's phenomenal.
Although it is a new spin on an old theme, with nods to past films it has a stunning quality to it that is unique.
Kudos to Charlize Theron for going the extra mile-cutting off her arm just to star in this movie.
I remember when I was 13 and I saw this movie with my dad. Times were tough for our family around that time, and we wanted to watch a movie that we can escape from reality. And mad Max was it! I have no idea what was mad Max. I didn't know it was a franchise. Nothing. I just went into the movie knowing that it looked like a scary movie with the poster of Max with his car in the first scene of the movie. And loved it!
Phenomenal film all the way, you guys are Incredible reactors, y'all do a TON of editing cudos.
What many cinephiles love about this film is that the director was basically seen as all washed up, decades after anything of note from him. An utter has-been. Then he dropped This film on the world. Bravo.
Also, after the film, it became known that there were problems on set, with Tom Hardy allegedly very difficult to work with, and poor chemistry on and offscreen between him and Charlize Theron. She had the last laugh there though - everyone talks about Her gutsy turn in the film, but Tom Hardy is pretty much overlooked.
There are 3 movies prior to this, with Mel Gibson.
All worth the watchm

The first ... hell half of this movie is so much pure adrenaline and constant action it's hard not to love. The only thing that got me was that while the cut up frame rate at the beginning while he's panicking was a design choice to make the viewer feel the same kind of anxiety attack Max was having, it really screwed with some of us who have anxiety.
fun facts, anyone? the desert location used in this film is also used to film Dune!
A big premise of the Mad Max series is that its a bunch of tall tales about a hero who changed our lives. If you imagine this as a story an elder is telling some kids 20 years down the line, the slight exaggerations and missing details all get glossed over. Just a hero story of folks doing heroic stuff.
So the scene where they say they take the bikes and ride for 100+ days, it took me like 4 viewings to realize that the salt they are seeing is the dried remains of the ocean. My mind was blown when I realized that.
There's a Belgian artist i knew when i was younger, Olivier Pauwels who created a steering wheel for this movie... he is really worth checking out. I haven't seen it yet, waiting for the local theater to replay it.
Is awesome watch your reactions. Take my subscribe. Cheers from Brazil!
Junkie XL aka Tom Holkenborg wrote and composed the score. Deserved an Oscar nom for best score
They did such an amazing job with the score! I looked it up immediately after watching and have been listening to their soundtrack ever since!
@@OfficialMediaKnights brothers in arms (the chase with the rock riders) and Let Them Up (the end scene) are my favorite tracks
My favourite bit is the car chase
