The way this movie is shot is unlike anything I've seen. So many movies try to obscure the action with night scenes and shaky cam and fast switches. The camera in this is like "NO, YOU WILL SEE ALL THE THINGS!"
@@jamiraquai1 no he isn't. George Miller said this, when asked why he chose his wife to edit his film, since she had never cut an action movie before. He said that ''if it were to be edited by the usual kind of guys, it would've looked like every other action movie we see.” So yes It's not the shooting that's good, it's the editing from Margaret Sixel and it won best movie editing award.
@@greyscalesx Just referring to your last sentence; it does matter if the shooting and direction are good though (especially of note in Fury Road with so many shots that weren't able to be done again), otherwise there won't be much for the editor to work with to actually create a good edit of the footage. Films are such a huge collaborative effort from people. To sum it up I guess I just want to point out films are an incredible effort from so many hundreds of people also! And Margaret did an outstanding job as the head editor.
I accidentally saw the early screening in Portland OR, I'd gone in bored to see whatever and hustled in along with a crapload of people dressed like they were Mad Max extras. I had no idea and this damn film hit me in the face not like a brick but more like a cinder block. We all walked out and I felt like I was in a triumphant war convoy, we only needed a flamethrower guitar guy to finish it off.
Lol I loved your comment. Feels so genuine just like this piece of art movie. I love those experiences when a film does that in the most unexpected of ways
Ash! The reason why this movie won your poll so overwhelmingly is because we all understand something: your energy IS this movie. It's like when you describe a person as a movie, you know.. It's like, my "sense of humor" IS the movie Airplane, okay? You, your energy - your personality - IS Mad Max Fury Road. 😆 Best to you, mate, keep it up! 🤘
The design on the cars DID win Oscars …. 6 of them: Best Film Editing Beat Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing Best Production Design Best Costume Design Best Makeup & Hairstyling
Love how you point out some of the factors of a movie that most people overlook! So true how practical effects keep you in the movie. That’s what I feel is one of the big things that separate the Lord of the Rings from the hobbit. Love your reactions bro!
This film actually has tons of CGI. But they did it properly, by marrying the CGI with amazing practical work. The Lord of the Rings is a great comparison, Fury Road may just be best pairing of CGI and practical effects since that legendary trilogy.
saw it opening weekend as well... we felt exhausted afterwards, in a good way, like we were on a 2 hour roller coaster ride, so glad I saw it on the big screen!!
@the world has fallen Nope. Too young. I will if they do a rerelease. There's a film society theater in my city and I wouldn't be surprised if they screen it at some point. Saw the original Ghost in the Shell there a couple years ago. Talk about a cinematic experience!
Mr Miller is a unique mastermind of our era, l'm so glad he was able to have the means to make this one. It's an epic of epics and a post apocalyptic original classic. Just one of the best ever of its genre, period.
And when you see Miller in the behind the scenes footage on the DVD and Blu-ray, he looks decades younger than his actual age, which was around 70 years old.
Ive been waiting for this one! So stoked lets go! Btw, all the cars in the film were real, moving, working machines. Immortan Joes "Gigahorse" has 2 v8 big blocks locked into 1 driveshaft.
Loved the reaction man, when you picked up the guitar and it's just you picking away, that was hilarious lol. Dredd is also a great visual movie. It's very underrated, Karl Urban is great in that. Also District 9 is one of my favorites, Neill Blomkamp is the director and his film style is very unique. Can't wait for the next one.
This movie is a masterpiece and a masterclass also. The fact that even that massive big truck explosion, with flying men around, was pratical, is insane! I remember been paralized in theater witness this piece of art. I was breathless by the sandstorm scene, because I was so connected and invested in the action, that I literally forgot to breathe. What a lovely, lovely movie.
This movie is an instant classic. Nothing else has ever been made like it before, and I don't think anything else will be for a long, long time. Also, I'd highly recommend you watch The Holy Mountain. It is the most batshit insane film ever made in human history.
The 'Behind the scenes' are also great! They talk about building the cars, Joe's wives, Tools of the Wasteland and such in a bunch of 10 to 20 minute videos. Five in all I think. Totally worth a watch.
I would like to share my experience. Didn't expect much, hadn't seen the original films as well. Watched it at home - on the wall using a projector. While watching I stood up for a moment to have a better look of some detail in the frame since the image was a bit blurry. Realized I had been standing though the whole film when it ended 😅
People talk about how little cgi is in this movie, miss that there is cgi in almost every scene. It's just well done and paired with the practical effects.
Just to let you know: this wasn't a movie. It was a documentary on 24 hours in the life of a milk delivery driver in the Australian outback. :-D Great reaction to a great movie! Also, loved the guitarist. Typically Aussie.
@@galiciadabest What made you wake up and think: Yes, this 9 months old comment right here. This is my time to shine with my great sarcastic humor. You added nothing of value to the world with this decision and I implore you to think about how you act to strangers on the internet. Be excellent to each other!
I’ve never laughed harder in any of the hundreds of movie reaction videos I’ve seen when my favorite shot came up and you proceeded to laugh, scream, and then play the guitar just to release the pent up awesomeness you were feeling.
The saddest thing about this movie: all the vehicles were practical, one-off, custom-made, and functional. And they all had to be destroyed after the production was over.
Mad Max Fury Road, for me was a complete random experience that was unlike anything I heave ever felt! It was like stepping off a platform into maddening chaos mixed with the utter beauty of the desolation and apocalyptic wasteland, as a fan of dystopian films, this one soared to the top of my list! The cinematic opulence that is on film within this movie is so rich and INSANE that I felt like I was IN the movie when I was watching it. And I LOVED the aspect of limited dialogue that progressed the film more by allowing the scenery and landscape to tell the bulk of the story. This movie Breathed FIRE into my veins while I watched it! I then went on to having a marathon of all the Mad Max films. I hope you watch all of them! I am so pleased you chose this film! Happy New Year!
I love how every single question you ask throughout this is A) totally legitimate question, and B) never answered outright anywhere - this movie is SO packed with not only environmental storytelling, but very precise and detailed environmental storytelling - there is so much to read from all the crazy shit - and if you don't feel like reading details, there's no need at all! Movie functions regardless! It's awesome!
I should say it's not that there's no CGI it's that the CGI is used in tandem with the editing and the practical effects to bring this madness to life, as opposed to relying more heavily on CGI.
Ash bouncing in his seat like an ADHD child. I shed a tear when I pulled this up and Hannah wasn't here, but once I saw Ash getting into it (about 5 seconds later) I realized she would've just been slowing him down. We can't have that, not for a film like this. We need Ash going Warboy on us, all day.
the script for this movie was just a storyboard that Miller and his team perfected over 15 years. That's why its so well done. It kept getting delayed for 20 years and all the images in his heat had time to develop longer than he had originally expected
The man who made this movie's soundtrack is Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg. He is the greatest soundtrack composer after Hans Zimmer in my opinion and they are like the master and the apprentice, they are that close if I'm not wrong. They made Batman v Superman: UE together which is one of the greatest albums of all time. Also you should check Junkie's other soundtrack albums as well. Great reaction video as always brother.
They had the right idea having Junkie XL produce the soundtrack for this. They always had a metallic and rusty feel to their music. I also saw this with my father on opening weekend in 2015, on IMAX in 3D, one of the best decisions of my life. The visuals were incredible. Shot like a comicbook and had endless momentum. No pauses, even the slow moments are tense as hell. If you have a PS4, Ash, you can get the tie-in game and it serves as a great indirect prequel to this and expands on the lore and why certain things are the way they are. It also looks and feels just as good as the movie. There's also a short comic series that tells the story of Max, Furiosa, the villains, and the concubines before Fury Road and shows why Max was having flashbacks about a little girl here. You get to see Immortan Joe before he became a warlord and other similar peculiarities. This is truly one of those films that never gets old. Easily on my top 10.
I clearly recall seeing the OG Mad Max in 1979 in a full theater, blown away by the frenetic energy and amped up rawness of the action. Then 36 years later I see this film and I'm even more blown away, same energy, same director, same franchise. THAT is a rare and impressive feat.
I'd never had any interest in anything Mad Max until some people whose opinions I don't respect (and never will) started whining about Fury Road when it came out. Purely on the basis of their specific complaints I decided to give it a shot and I've got to say it's one of my favorite films now. (And I say this as a guy who's not into cars or action movies, lol). Sometimes I watch it with the sound off just to luxuriate in the amazing visuals...
The director of this film, George Miller, also has another movie under his belt which I consider his masterpiece called “Happy Feet”. Just letting you know in case it shows up on this channel. 😌 Also, my funeral will have a dude playing a flamethrower Guitar all the way to the graveyard. Gonna be metal into the afterlife. 😎
This movie is basically a chase from point A to B and then back to A again but the inventiveness, the art direction, cinematography, direction, score, stunt choreography and acting take this chase film and ramps it to it's highest settings. What I also love is melding the promise of Valhalla and automobiles to create a religion/creed for the War Boys to faithfully follow Immortan Joe. It makes the War Boys sacrifices sad as they must have been brainwashed from birth. My favorite moment was during the chase back, there's a short lull in the action and music that is filled with the War Boys on those long poles dipping into frame. This is a movie where you just sit back and expecting they just can't keep the energy going and are wonderfully surprised it can and it does.
I do have one huge regret: These vehicles were never reproduced in miniatures for collectors. Those vehicles are awesome. Also, I wish I saw this in 3D in the theatre. I was lucky to see this in 2D in the theatre, though.
Dude, I´ve been watching you videos non-stop because you bring valuable commentaries on films. As a small film-director I would like thank you for what you did in the end, saying the names of the crew involved. If you ever did that to one of my films, it would be one of the high points of my career ;) Symbolism!
George Miller was asked why he chose his wife to edit his film, since she had never cut an action movie before. He said that ''if it were to be edited by the usual kind of guys, it would've looked like every other action movie we see.” Margaret Sixel ended up winning best movie editing award for it.
12:10 The Director George Miller was a big comix fan growing up & had the entire movie story-boarded like a comic book first, then filmed principal photography.
There is a interesting theory that Max is one of the riders of the apocalypse, more precisely Death. If we look at his journey and all the things he has done throughout the movies there is something, not natural about him. The stories themselves span decades or even centuries and yet, Max is still there, still the same, never changing himself, but always bringing about change. He is able to survive everything coming his way (the only injury he gets in this entire movie is a bolt to the hand), he is an universal blood donor and completely healthy thus able to give a chance at life to everyone, he punishes the wicked and gives the innocent and righteous a chance to survive. Brings them to the promised land and salvation but never himself. Biggest clue in this film would be the scene where he is standing on top of the truck and has the "vision" of the little girl (whose face multiple times turns into a skull), she throws her arm up at him and he reacts attempting to block it, which saves his life from that crossbow bolt to the head. And the three band leaders could also be connected, them representing the other three riders. The Bulletfarmer represents war, Immortan Joe is pestilence, and the People Eater is famine. A true Masterpiece of an action movie! Love your reaction Ash. Your energy was through the roof :)
Its funny when you said it looks like they took a comic and printed this movie out of it. Well, they actually did, every scene was done with very detailed storyboards. I love this movie with all my heart and soul! WITNESS mVm! Thank you George Miller! Thank you Hugh Keays-Byrne R.I.P. Immortan Joe and Toecutter. Check out the video Mad Max Fury Road Crash and Smash, it shows the unedited footage with the real stunts and practical effects.
Judging from the thumbnail I know this will be epic. This movie is so crazy it's wonderful. Wonderful experience to see it in the theatre when it came out. This is that sort of movie, you had to see it on big screen. Cirque Du Soleil were in the stunt group. You can tell in some of the acrobatic stuff durin the car chases. Even Ronin and Bourne Identity's car chases look amateur compared to this. Edit: Also, merry Christmas
I saw this movie in theaters opening day, I still quote "oh what a day, what a lovely day" All of us who already saw this and you said that was the best chase scene at the beginning. We all though "oh just wait for the rest of the movie"
*_WITNESS!!!_* I'm so glad that you've already seen the Mel Gibson's Mad Max films before watching this one, this way you already know the premise behind the world and the backstory behind Max Rockatansky's character so that you can be fully invested from the get go.
Only problem is it's not really a Mad Max movie, more like a spin off starring Charlize Theron as Furiosa with a cameo of Tom Hardly as Mad Max as a set piece. 🤣
@@myTERAexperience Did you actually watch the other Mad Max movies? Apart from the first one, they were always about Max entering/ taking part in other peoples' stories, like a mythical wandering hero. Fury Road was no different.
Fact: George Miller almost made a Justice League movie about 15 years ago. Hugh Keyes Byrne, Immortan Joe, and who played the main villian Toe Cutter in the original Mad Max movie, would've played the Martian Manhunter. Megan Gale, Valkyrie, would've been Wonder Woman.
I watched this in imax with Greg Nicotero and Andrew Lincoln and Seth Gilliam from The Walking Dead. Being a fan of Greg's career and being an indie filmmaker I talk to him about our mutual friends and congratulated him on the popular show before the movie started. I ended up a couple of rows behind him and got to see his reaction to this film. Loved it.
I'm glad to see that someone else thinks that the visual, cinematography, the ACTION of this film is beautiful. Because that's how I always described it when I watched it for the first time. First time I thought an action movie was visually beautiful..
Remarkably, both Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron did not get along on set, but they managed to make all their scenes together work. That is professionalism at its best.
Ash if you like car chase stuff you have to watch Need For Speed!! The director is a stunt man it was his debut movie everything is legit in that movie he even trained the actors on driving
No CGI. Actually real cars made for this movie. Polecat actors were Circus Soleil. They lived in the desert for a year filming. Yes he was straped to the front of the car.
I happen to watch this on a bus while on the road that i havent even seen the first tittle but i googled it the minute i got home & my pop loved it that its one of his fav
You should watch “The King” (2019) and “Outlaw King” (2018, somewhat of a sequel to Braveheart but more historically accurate) on Netflix (unrelated movies btw) but very well done historical movies that don’t get enough credit. Also has great medieval violence haha Merry Xmas
"This is making Fast and Furious look like Sesame Street." - best quote of the reaction
I enjoyed "the way he just slammed it. Like it's some steak he's about to season". I'm so glad I wasn't taking a drink when that came out his mouth.
Now I’m just picturing someone making a Fast&Furious: Sesame Street Racing, with original muppets and all
The way this movie is shot is unlike anything I've seen. So many movies try to obscure the action with night scenes and shaky cam and fast switches. The camera in this is like "NO, YOU WILL SEE ALL THE THINGS!"
That’s because a woman edited the film
@@jamiraquai1 it’s true dumbass, look it up before talking like an idiot
Pretty much how all of Mad Max is.
@@jamiraquai1 no he isn't.

@@greyscalesx Just referring to your last sentence; it does matter if the shooting and direction are good though (especially of note in Fury Road with so many shots that weren't able to be done again), otherwise there won't be much for the editor to work with to actually create a good edit of the footage. Films are such a huge collaborative effort from people.
To sum it up I guess I just want to point out films are an incredible effort from so many hundreds of people also! And Margaret did an outstanding job as the head editor.
"This is making Fast and Furious look like Sesame Street! This is what Fast and Furious wish it was!" Truer words were never spoken about this movie.
Hahaha you know
Ironically you ran out of water. Masterpiece. George Miller directed this at 70 years old. He showed the young'uns how it's done.
He didn’t want to get addicted
I accidentally saw the early screening in Portland OR, I'd gone in bored to see whatever and hustled in along with a crapload of people dressed like they were Mad Max extras. I had no idea and this damn film hit me in the face not like a brick but more like a cinder block. We all walked out and I felt like I was in a triumphant war convoy, we only needed a flamethrower guitar guy to finish it off.

While everyone screams WITNESS ME in a post apocalyptic world, Ash would scream INJECT THIS INTO ME!!! and strip to attack his enemies.

The original series with Mel Gibson is the best!
I saw this eight times in the theater, and I never see movies more than once in the theater.
About why the pregnant woman risked herself. It was most likely that Joe wouldn't risk her safety just because she was pregnant.

As a small film-director I would like thank you for what you did in the end, saying the names of the crew involved. If you ever did that to one of my films, it would be one of the high points of my career ;) Symbolism!
ash .. this was your most unhinged reaction yet lmao, and the best one too! MEDIOCRE?! not this one 💪🏽
Love you bro, thank you ❤️
George Miller was asked why he chose his wife to edit his film, since she had never cut an action movie before.
He said that ''if it were to be edited by the usual kind of guys, it would've looked like every other action movie we see.”
Margaret Sixel ended up winning best movie editing award for it.
12:10 The Director George Miller was a big comix fan growing up & had the entire movie story-boarded like a comic book first, then filmed principal photography.
Every single frame of this movie could be an artwork, displayed on a wall.
0:33 ..... All of those movies are a cinematic jewell on their own right.... .You should watch them all, despite the poll says......
I loved how the two actors from the Xmen young guns Beast and Striker - are together as driver and lancer.
And I am still salty they gave Max the Pursuit Special back only to demolish it again.
She was the Last of the V8s, and I mourn her. 😭
There is a interesting theory that Max is one of the riders of the apocalypse, more precisely Death. If we look at his journey and all the things he has done throughout the movies there is something, not natural about him. The stories themselves span decades or even centuries and yet, Max is still there, still the same, never changing himself, but always bringing about change. He is able to survive everything coming his way (the only injury he gets in this entire movie is a bolt to the hand), he is an universal blood donor and completely healthy thus able to give a chance at life to everyone, he punishes the wicked and gives the innocent and righteous a chance to survive. Brings them to the promised land and salvation but never himself. Biggest clue in this film would be the scene where he is standing on top of the truck and has the "vision" of the little girl (whose face multiple times turns into a skull), she throws her arm up at him and he reacts attempting to block it, which saves his life from that crossbow bolt to the head. And the three band leaders could also be connected, them representing the other three riders. The Bulletfarmer represents war, Immortan Joe is pestilence, and the People Eater is famine. A true Masterpiece of an action movie! Love your reaction Ash. Your energy was through the roof :)
Its funny when you said it looks like they took a comic and printed this movie out of it. Well, they actually did, every scene was done with very detailed storyboards. I love this movie with all my heart and soul! WITNESS mVm! Thank you George Miller! Thank you Hugh Keays-Byrne R.I.P. Immortan Joe and Toecutter.
Check out the video Mad Max Fury Road Crash and Smash, it shows the unedited footage with the real stunts and practical effects.
So detailed that they had to reshoot parts of the film for some mysterious reason and George Miller to them to court of this situation
Judging from the thumbnail I know this will be epic. This movie is so crazy it's wonderful. Wonderful experience to see it in the theatre when it came out. This is that sort of movie, you had to see it on big screen. Cirque Du Soleil were in the stunt group. You can tell in some of the acrobatic stuff durin the car chases. Even Ronin and Bourne Identity's car chases look amateur compared to this.
Edit: Also, merry Christmas
7:14 classic Ash soundbite. Soundbite of 2021.
I saw this movie in theaters opening day, I still quote "oh what a day, what a lovely day"
All of us who already saw this and you said that was the best chase scene at the beginning. We all though "oh just wait for the rest of the movie"
OMG, I saw this roll up on my feed and immediately grinned and said, “Oh SHIT, Ash is gonna lose his fucking mind over this one!”
😂😂 let’s goooo!! Hope you enjoyed it you legend ❤️
This movie is a masterpiece. Miller didn’t make a remake, but a new movie about Mad Max.
*_WITNESS!!!_*
I'm so glad that you've already seen the Mel Gibson's Mad Max films before watching this one, this way you already know the premise behind the world and the backstory behind Max Rockatansky's character so that you can be fully invested from the get go.
Only problem is it's not really a Mad Max movie, more like a spin off starring Charlize Theron as Furiosa with a cameo of Tom Hardly as Mad Max as a set piece. 🤣
@@myTERAexperience Did you actually watch the other Mad Max movies? Apart from the first one, they were always about Max entering/ taking part in other peoples' stories, like a mythical wandering hero. Fury Road was no different.
@@discoskull This! I don't know why everyone complains that Max isn't the main character or does nothing (Which is completely untrue as well).
Also I think this is what you can get when an OLD-SCHOOL director has a big budget and modern technology AND a heathy dose of creative control.
Fact: George Miller almost made a Justice League movie about 15 years ago. Hugh Keyes Byrne, Immortan Joe, and who played the main villian Toe Cutter in the original Mad Max movie, would've played the Martian Manhunter. Megan Gale, Valkyrie, would've been Wonder Woman.
It’s the only movie I’ve seen in the last twenty years that demanded that I see it at least twice in the cinema.
Saw this in the cinema when it came out. The experience was absolutely overwhelming.
I watched this in imax with Greg Nicotero and Andrew Lincoln and Seth Gilliam from The Walking Dead. Being a fan of Greg's career and being an indie filmmaker I talk to him about our mutual friends and congratulated him on the popular show before the movie started. I ended up a couple of rows behind him and got to see his reaction to this film. Loved it.
whoa thats insane, its always cool to hear about actors and film makers such as yourselves seeing movies like this
Ash, this is probably the best reaction to this film. It is fair to say that between Tropic Thunder, and this...you are my favorite.
The bad guy faction: War Boys. Their leaders' names: Scabrous Scrotus, Rictus Erectus, Immortan Joe, People Eater, and Bullet Farmer.
so glad you reacted to this one. it's one of my favorite action movie ever
AHAHA!! liked just for you telling us too come sit on your lap, mate! :D
Much love! have a great holiday brother
Appreciate the love you legend, merry Christmas my brother ❤️
I'm glad to see that someone else thinks that the visual, cinematography, the ACTION of this film is beautiful. Because that's how I always described it when I watched it for the first time. First time I thought an action movie was visually beautiful..
27:55 Ash your going to hell and im coming too for laughing my ass off 😆
😂😂😂😂 shiny and chrome, I will be waiting for you
Remarkably, both Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron did not get along on set, but they managed to make all their scenes together work. That is professionalism at its best.
Ooh he did it! ASH DID IT! Can't wait to watch this reaction. This movie was made for you.
This is maybe the best movie reaction I’ve ever seen
Ash after seeing the new Spider-Man: “MEDIOCRE!”
😂😂 oiiiii let’s goooooooooo
“Makes fast and furious look like Sesame Street” TRUEEEE
The only movie that came up right in 2015.
Knew you’d love this Ash lol one of the most metal films in recent memory 🤘
Bro if you got more metal films like this, please recommend ❤️
@@justtrustash sorry man the only other one I can think of that tops this is “Night Comes For Us” and I know you’ve seen that haha
@@justtrustash It's a bit weird and mindfuck-y, but the movie "Mandy" with Nicholas Cage is WILD and METAL in a brutal and insane way.
@@justtrustash Actually if you like wild and metal then check out Waterworld. Its like Mad Max but on the ocean.
@@justtrustash I second the recommendation of Mandy. It's just as over-the-top metal as Fury Road, but a horror movie instead of action.
Ash if you like car chase stuff you have to watch Need For Speed!! The director is a stunt man it was his debut movie everything is legit in that movie he even trained the actors on driving
Glad to see Guybrush Threepwood the wannabe pirate showing some love Mad Max and the guitar guy.
"This movie makes you lose calories" statement is funny but accurate. It gets the blood flowing and muscles tense.
My fav 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦! Its a visual spectacle.
I read somewhere that the people doing the pole stunts were trained by someone from cirque du soleil.
No CGI.
Actually real cars made for this movie. Polecat actors were Circus Soleil.
They lived in the desert for a year filming.
Yes he was straped to the front of the car.
I happen to watch this on a bus while on the road that i havent even seen the first tittle but i googled it the minute i got home & my pop loved it that its one of his fav
You should watch “The King” (2019) and “Outlaw King” (2018, somewhat of a sequel to Braveheart but more historically accurate) on Netflix (unrelated movies btw) but very well done historical movies that don’t get enough credit. Also has great medieval violence haha Merry Xmas
Outlaw king is good the king is lame
MAD MAX FURY ROAD was the best cinema experience I ever had. And didn't even know about mad max world before fury road, so it was just epic moment
