Definitely my favorite fact in this video, and one of the few that I didn’t know about beforehand! I couldn’t stop smiling for a good minute when I heard it.

Star egos vs real people who work for a living and get along great.

Theron is a head case. A pure ego trip.

For real! Even though my wife hated this movie (I talked to her in to watching it twice, while dating and a year or 2 after we got married) I found this fun fact so interesting, it's the one I sent her anyway. So cool. Goodness to cancel out the conflict and disdain. I love it!

@@JPerry-jw9ik I was going to refer to her as something that rhymed with a trazy tunt but she seems like the kind of person to come after someone IRL.

Well because it was a sequel we did not have to worry about much of the origin stories many films have to deal with. And because of those earlier films we can make a lot of assumptions about context in this movie.

The PlayStation game actually sorta consists in the universe.

@@FencelineFilms the game expands a lot on things such as Gastown, the buzzards and new characters but still leaves loads to the imagination. I don't think George Miller considers it canon but that's mostly for legal reasons.

the war boys all did 3weeks of real military bootcamp. they kept the cars hidden until the day of shooting. this was way back when Hollywood used to pay, man this was fun!

@@glenchapman3899 Exactly. The worldbuilding is minimal because we already know 99% of the plot from the earlier movies. Bad guy controls resources, people are enslaved, Max saves the day allmost entirely against his will. The story itself is 98% carchases and explosions, all we need is a reason for the chase to happen and the rest of the backstory is not irrelevant. This was also true for StarWars and that is why the prequeals failed: *don't tell the backstory*.

Yeh, the engine(s) blew the turbo 400 gearbox daily, so they replaced it with an Allison 5 speed truck gearbox.

I think a lot of the cars were bought off car enthusiast mechanics and then further customized to fit the movie but yeah I think what your talking about was done by the set mechanics

@@robertnicholson7733. Had a buddy on set that told me that if you look close you will see it’s rear axel has air brakes they used a electric compressor to supply the air. They built two. One still survives but unclear where it’s at

@@jhonsiders6077 I would not be surprised, i am sure most of them have weird stuff on them to make them look good on the screen even if it led to an impractical vehicle.

She was excellent in this though. Yeah, sucks about Hardy.

He ended up apologizing for it and him and Theron actually figured it out and were not fighting each other. Imagine shooting that movie. Hot as fuck in all these rusted cars, strapped to the front of one? Noone is perfect.

I really wished that she had been supported at that moment. Hollywood has always had a bad reputation for tolerating manchild. They really don't seem to care, as long as they make profit.

​@@OliverCrooks it wasnt hot there

@@spaceon_fr It was filmed in Namibia, South Africa, and Australia and you are telling me it was not hot???

And Miller insisted the guitar be playable and rigged to the speaker stack behind the performer.

yeah he be a diva, that is well known. but i gotta say therons reaction to it was just as shitty. i'm not surprised that hardy got aggressive with her. my understanding is theron has had "issues" with almost EVERY co star she has EVER worked with. set McFarland had a LOT of negative things to say about working with her(million ways to die).

this is the thing people being able to act well but be a shitty person when off screen (similar to those who think the rolls they play in movies gives them real world expertise)

I'm yet to enjoy a movie by Hardy. Or tv show.

@@MrLegion45 What kind of joyless person doesn't enjoy Fury Road?

@@jamesf694 Nah, that was a totally normal reaction and it's good of her to stand up for the crew like that. Wasting the time of dozens of people for hours like that is extremely rude and inconsiderate. Theron's own issues on other movies don't change that.

Seems everyone forgot by this point :P

NIGHT RIDER

I sadly hated it in movie theaters. And didn't fully enjoy it till I saw it on DVD/Blu-Ray The problem was the theater I saw it at was an Elvis Cinema, not the greatest of theaters, include, audio. I wish Icould have seen it on IMAX

@@Ange1ofD4rkness yeah I can understand that. We saw it in IMAX. One of my better movie experiences.

@@buttamob6450 I can imagine, the audio alone!

I thought the movie was "meh" when it first came out, but over the years after watching again here and there... i liked it more and more. I watched again maybe like a month ago and completely enjoyed the whole movie. The sandstorm/chase scene is fucking amazing.

Dude! Exactly. What a killer movie.

Our future or the character's future? 'Cause the way our world is shaping up, people will be protesting the killing of zombies if there's a zombie outbreak because "human rights!".

How it seems to be the movie industry today, I doubt any future movies of the series would be good. It would be a surprise if it is 50% as good as this one.

We can't wait to see another strong, powerful woman origin story.

Most action movies are not that good. This film is an extreme outlier.

@@EricCKeys may as well be an art film with action

I love action movies and this mad max movie is sick

Never seen it. I'll totally check it out!

Yeah I think the original Mad Max came out a year after this movie The Cars That a Paris

I saw 'the cars thst ate paris' when I was 4!

Mad max still does it better

It is hard to reconcile that Peter Weir directed the Cars That Ate Paris when you consider his later films, it is hardly Oscar-winning stuff. An indication that bizarre and perhaps even original does not equal good. I can't see anything from The Cars... in the earlier Max films. When I first watched Fury Road, the spikey cars meant nothing, i did really have much time to think at all, my mind was blown. The second time, I thought, yeh, I have seen them before and remembered, but really the settings were quite differnt, in Paris the spikes stood out (no pun intended), but in Fury Road they fitted right in. I hope they bring the Max films back to cinemas when the new one comes out, or at least Fury Road, nothing beats the big screen, sitting so you can't see the edges of the screen. I do that for very few films, the only other I can remember is 2001, first in 1980 (I was alone in the theatre in the middle of the day having sat for my last university exam that semester) and then in 2001 re-release in 70mm SuperPanavision -Wow! I missed out on the Nolan restored original? 70mm SuperPanavision Screening in 2018, I doubt that I will get another chance, which is a shame.

Brilliant game!

Recently heard this games actually a sleeper. May have to check er out.

Ya, I thought that it was well done, also.

Fantastic game with two different elements combined into one. I can only imagine what it cud b like if it was built as a triple AAA game. It cudve been even greater.

the Mad max game is super underrated...

There are talks of making Furiosa. But last I read they replacing Charlize

Didn't watch the whole video?

at the end of the vid he seemingly confirms furiosa and another movie to be released.

Cause it's WB

If WB was smart, they'd find some other directors in George's realm and taper down on all the weird culture-war junk and super hero shit

Blower intakes I am ok with they don't get hot and exhausts I can't think of a seen that one wasn't handled without a heat shield

I did not notice this, but because there is almost no CGI used, actors were grabbing to them irl, so i doubt they were hot, otherwise actors would got burned aswell.

If you watch the scene in road warrior, feral kid uses a blower to bring himself into the cab during the final chase sequence. So it’s already happened in universe.

u kidding right in a world with limited resources an gas an oil is extremely rare to get but let's drive around for no resources to waste fuel an let's just have flame throwers wasting fuel for what exactly no reason oh it looks cool no other reason. nothing in movie makes since on world with limited resources they just got to waste resources

They were wrapped in thick layers of cloth a lot of the time for people to grab.

Same

I Figured it Was a Different Type of Coins in TheEyes for TheBoatMan...🤔

Literally chroming lmao

Yeah lacquer heads is what some here in Arkansas and other areas of the USA call them.

@@Manco65 yep and Primus has a song about lacquer heads as well.

A theory I heard and like is that this movie is something that happens before thunder dome, but is told years after the fact. Like a camp fire tale, that's why is so over the top in some parts. Adding to the Legends

I always look at it as same universe, but not part of the story. All because of 1 element, the Interceptor. The car is destroyed in Road Warrior, so it couldn't take place then, meaning, it would have to come before. Only problem, Fury Road destroys it as well. Not to mention, the Dinky Dee, aka the dog. Or the fact Max isn't wearing a leg brace

I feel as if when this movie came out it was spoken of as a reboot more so than a continuation.

@@Ange1ofD4rkness It's a different Interceptor that Max was building from the ground up. There are comics that tell the story taking place after Thunderdome. It was originally going to be in a video game that Miller was developing with Cory Barlog in conjunction with Fury Road until the game plans fell thru again.. For the 3rd time..Also the Warner game studio was making their own game around this period as well. There are bits and pieces of content still in the game that was all (piece from here and piece from there) taken from the long history of Fury Road's development.

@@Aeon2Flux But wasn't gasoline, guns, and many other things a rarity by the time Thunderdome was out? Also, society doesn't seem too far fallen yet at this point, or more, in the middle, before being built back up with Thunderdome

Pretty much. That is what chroming is after all.

I was young when I watched it first time and absolutely hated it. Just watched it today. I think this is the greatest action movie.

@@sanketparmar5173 Absolutely!!

🤣👍

That's because of your silly accents, obviously

thats the fucking Truth

Whats your top 5 films of all time?

I will never understand why most people feel the need to have everything explained to them. I guess it's that they lack imagination...probably from watching way too much TV.

@@derkeheath5172 Sometimes you see something that is interesting and you want to know what it is. For a movie that has as much effort into developing well thought out and interesting setting and is engaging as Fury Road is, it shouldn't be surprising that people want to learn as much about it as they can. It seems unnecessarily dismissive to suggest that those people just lack imagination. It's a bit like concluding that the people who were fine with them not being explained simply lack curiosity, instead of understanding that they just prefer more mystery.

I always assumed it was another civilization, learning to live where they could, staying off the toxic ground

@@Ange1ofD4rkness That's pretty cool and more imagination than I put into it. Never really thought about why they were on stilts other than maybe a status symbol. Appearance may be but yeah cool scene for sure.

@@demonicusa.k.a.theblindguy3929 Yeah the idea came into my mind, and was "cemented" when they talk about the ground turning sour later on in the film

When the trailer came out I thought wow this looks like a pile of crap, sort of like the continuation of Thunderdome. Went and saw it and yes mind blown, very happy I was so wrong

I didn't find that fact very fun at all ಠ_ಠ

@@glenchapman3899 I was kinda the same way. It just looked like a cheap imitation... boy, was I wrong.

@@cujoedaman I genuinely love being wrong about stuff like this

They did not, that's a long time disproven theory. On most kinds of mushrooms you're just capable of sitting on your ass and halucinating, certainly not figting.

It is a rare day that I prefer anyone over Hardy for a role but you're dead right

Faarken oath.

He's a great actor. He has that serious look about him to pull it off too. I think the movie, Deliver Us From the Devil, was a great, and hardly ever talked about, movie he was in.

So technically, Max still reloaded with one hand. He had assistance, sure. But Max used one hand only.

Too bad she is still nameless for most (and me I admit), defined by her husband. Going to look her up now. What an amazing movie that was!

The lack of oil was more of a thing in Mad Max 2. In Fury Road, one of Immortan Joe's allies controls a place called "Gas Town" that appears to be an entire refinery.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It's polished steel not chrome And once it was worked on by the black fingers in the citadel it was called the razor cola

I disagree. I think the lower budget action is like 90% of the charm of the older movies, especially the first one. Don't get me wrong, Fury Road was amazing and I loved it, but for me nothing beats the minimalist, gritty, low-budget feel of the original movie. It just has this wonderful seventies sleaze exploitation vibe to it, the epitome of guerilla filmmaking. And the fact that all the action scenes are, to quote Stuntman Mike in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, "real cars smashing into real cars, with real dumb people driving" with no safety features or CGI enhancement or anything like that just makes it all the cooler. Again, I really, genuinely loved Fury Road as a movie in its own right and it was fascinating to see what Miller could do with a huge budget and unlimited resources, but it just felt too polished and slick to be a true Mad Max movie for me.

I hope you're right so bad

prequel

I thought exactly the same thing watching the film.

That would make sense, except the Interceptor is a small flaw. It's clear meant to be the car from the 1st film, modified for the 2nd (such as the gas tank locations), but more worn down. Remember, they point out in the 1st film how rare that car is
