I’m 16 and I found this movie on my own how funny is that

Is there a way to contact you so we can discuss all of this, other than YT comment section?

It is what it is but it's a fascinating story nonetheless, find all this stuff out didn't ruin the Mad Max franchise at all to me, it's just more layers to uncover. I didn't really touch upon that much on who could be really responsible for straight up ripping off but I have a good lead from a few sources that let's say... don't really have fond memories of working with Terry Hayes. More than that, in earlier versions of Beyond Thunderdome scripts didn't even hide how much they ripped Riddley Walker off. I'm talking the SAME character names in both the script and the book, that's just plain robbery.

It's all a mixed bag really. Some strait up copy others some get inspired or pay a respectful nod to one another. For example in this exact case Quentin Tarantino gets lots of hate how he is a copy-paster and mostly shit talker in movies even tho reality is he is a movie addict and out right say he loves movies, he grew up on them and uses lots of scenes or camera angles as a respectful nod to his favorites. Movies made for movie buffs. Outright says hey this is from there and then and I will use it or used it etc. When he works with someone he also hosts movie days and together watch something and after watching he gladly talks about the movies. He pays respect and that is the difference. Others can happen that they ripoff some book or strait up steal something from someone who they know he wont have the backing or funds to sue them. Even tho beating the shit out of you or even murdering you for it one day isn't too much out of question either. So most of the actual parasitic copy-pasters probably don't sleep well at night or at all knowing they fucked up. So there are always two sides of the story and with it I carefully choose what movie I buy and watch where.

There are no original stories, it's impossible not to be influenced by history, even if you don't realise you are being influenced. Nearly every story uses "The Heroes Journey" as a guide and no one cops flack for that. The Riddley Walker and Beyond Thunderdome similarities I feel deserved some compensation but taking a myth and using that as a basis is fine. Inspiration has to come from somewhere, just give credit where it's due. It's a lot harder to hide plagiarism these days, you will get found out.

We all do my guy, we all do.

One with no bloody minefields.

The aboriginal man is in thr game. He is the guy that levels u up. I just hope mad max game has the almost witcher like. Unlike being a batman on the ground. More stories in the story i suppose. Unlike the rip off batman version that was repetitive and long fetch quests. But graphically and the vehicle gameplay and conbat was great and base capture was great, if it all ties up a story like witcher.

@@Cocubin The level up bloke doesn't sound Aboriginal to me, Aborigines have very distinct accents.

@@nickfatsis9607 well yeah. But the description fits.griffa is max from.the future. No need to use their accents.

I left out a lot of things from the video because it would make the video too long, for example there's stuff lifted from Stagecoach etc. Yeah the 7 Sisters Petroleum was there as well but to my knowledge it really didn't have much to do with the Pleiades myth at all. George Miller was only starting with mythology around 1980.

@@MadMaxBible I see no issue no issue with a 10 hour documentary of Mad Max films. Hint... Hint...😉 Jokes aside. I love this channel. Great stuff man.

@Derek McCumber AFAIK, Max wasn't supposed to be killed in any early version of Fury Road but I'm curious how the events of Fury Road would play out in the earliest of stages of scriptwriting. There was an idea for Max, the 5 Wives and Furiosa to arrive at 'The Edge of the World' which was essentially reaching the coastline and diving into the dried up ocean bed where a new civilization could begin. This ending was of course ditched and turned into 'let's return to the Citadel' but it was still used for the Mad Max video game where most of the game plays out on a dried up ocean bed. The concept of dried up oceans in the Mad Max universe is interesting in itself with people assuming that oceans just evaporated post Mad Max 2. I don't think that was the case at all. Looking at the behind the scenes miniature set of 'bombed out Sydney' - they purposefully filmed it with the actual ocean in the background. So the waters didn't evaporate completely at all. But that's just super nerdy to get into and it's a topic for another discussion.

@Derek McCumber I saw it either in one of the videos here or on another channel where they talked about Max dying as an ending in one of the concept scripts. I think it was one of the videos dealing with the video game VS. the Fury Road movie. Anywho the Max finding his humanity and settling down is kinda a nice ending if not a little too nice for Max. What I liked was the fan theory that Max in Fury Road was the Feral Kid pretending to be Max because of childhood idol worship. Not only would it fix plot wholes but it could set up a movie with Tom and Mel playing both the old and new Mad Max in the same film. Kind like The Maverick Movie with Mel and James Garner. Just without comedy and with lots of cool cars.

@@MadMaxBible When I first saw the end of Thunderdome I just figured the coastline had changed because of nukes and that caused environmental issues. I just could never buy into the idea of the oceans going away like with Solarbabies or Tank Girl. Being that we're on an ocean planet.

I absolutely agree. That's why Road Warrior's soundtrack is timeless, there's not a shred of anything that would date it. Couldn't say that about MMBT's soundtrack and Fury Road's OST isn't as defined as RW's, a lot of drums, score not really that custom tailored for each scene in my opinion.

I love all 3 soundtrack from Mad Max, in 1981 no one used pop music in movies unless they were actually composed for the movie, like the case of Beegees staying alive for Saturday Night fever, today EVERYONE uses pop music, current and classic songs, for movies of every genre, it has become anoying, but now most modern audiences discover classic songs from superhero movies, I was listening to Cat Stevens Father and son and every comment was about a new Marvel movie that had this classic song

Riddley Walker was set in a future England. The language of the children in Mad Max 3 is recognisable English.

Thank you! I planned on making this thing longer but YT says that people's attention span is about 10 min per video so I'd rather keep it concise before people click away. No worries though, there's going to be some more long form videos, especially the one about Immortan Joe's empire, how it worked, how it evolved etc.

I could do something like that, it's doable, but it would require a lot of detective work and even more guesswork. However, I could give a rough estimate where things happen in those films.

Absoutly none of my business but,... If this your first script, i recommend the book 'Save the cat.' A very simple starter manual. The better one is Joseph cambells story circle. Much more nuanced and detailed. Like the video states and Stephen Kings whole career proves, Its not the story but how you tell it. The movie 12 Angry Men is a masterwork in storytelling. If this is your first attempt at selling a script the best advice i can give, (I was industry adjacent for a few years) is not to hold yor script as something too important to change. Theres an industry saying. 'Kill your babies.' It means if someone wants to buy your idea and then ruin it, you let them, with a smile and a paycheck. I knew of a few writers who made almost their whole career writing scripts the studio would buy and then throw into a vault. No one ever even looked at them. These studios do this if they have a story in pre production and you independantly come up with the same story. It saves them from being accused of stealing the idea and being sued. Easy way to make a few hundred thousand. (if you think writing is easy) lastly your timeframe is 2 weeks. That is all the time you get to write a two hour movie. If you cant write it in two weeks you're overthinking it. Don't use your best ideas on your first few. Save them for when you get established. I wish you the best of luck. Movie making is a snake pit with some only there to eat the other ones. Don't get discouraged, if you have time try to get a job as a gaffer or PA. You will learn very fast. I'm cheering for you.

Lucky one. I've trying to get an polish version of first season for about... ten years? Looks like tapes were lost or sth. You forced me to check again and looks like it's totally unobtainable right now :( Looks like I've got to get an box set if its floating around Ebays etc :(

@@SuperMatiz I'm in the UK and it's streaming on Amazon Prime. If you're a Prime subscriber already, one of them VPNs might help you out.

I believe thats going to be prequeal. Which will hopefully explain why max is crazy at the beginning of fury road, but before that Miller is making a furiosa prequeal. Which i think will be fine but i kind of want a mad max. About max, as he felt like more of a side character in fury road.

Nah, that's a different actor. But the actor playing the mentally challenged guy in #1 shows up in #2 as the guy with the beard strapped to the front of Humungus' car! Max Fairchild was his name.

No no no, those are animations from a documentary I found but I animated everything else for what its worth :) My software is really basic, doing the best I can!

Well you're doing great! Hope to see more of your videos in the future

@@MadMaxBible Hey I was rewatching your videos and I noticed that the "Unused & Repurposed Ideas in Mad Max" video got tagged as made for kids, which means it doesn't have comments and can't be watched in the miniplayer on mobile devices among others. I don't think that's your intention so I think you should check that.

@@broston_ I didn't notice that, thanks! I'll fix it asap.

They very well might have, yeah. They took a bunch of stuff from Fury Road's early production to make the game, I wouldn't be surprised if Griffa was at least inspired by the Ancient Aboriginal man.

@@MadMaxBible I remember at the beginning of Fury Road when Max is trying to escape the War Boys and he sees hallucinations of the people he couldn't save, one of them is an old Aboriginal man. After watching this video where you described the deleted scene from an earlier script, I wondered if maybe that Aboriginal man was a leftover from a previous draft?

@@chancesettlemire4358 Most likely, yes. He also makes an appearance at the end of the film, he's behind Furiosa on the elevator.

@@MadMaxBible Really? I never noticed that.

@@MadMaxBible So I just looked at the scene you mentioned and saw the guy, but I don' think that's the same person. The guy in Max's hallucinations was much older, had greying/white hair, and a slightly longer beard. The guy behind Furiosa also has what looks like dreadlocks or some similar hair style. If you need proof, here are two videos I linked below. FR Ending kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKdgnbKQq9uykZs.html FR Opening (You can find the guy around 3:25) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pd-Pf6l4qLu8gn0.html

Happy feet is actually a prequel to the first Mad Max movie.

Or divine, or unholy inspiration. I think a lot of directors and actors are tapping into a world that they shouldn't go to to draw power from it, and I think what gives them this power is not of God.

You mean the accusing dead? Yeah he shows up but he says "You let us die" in Max's visions and he also shows up on the elevator at the end of the movie! Fun fact - this guy is some kind of a street performer in Sydney (I believe).

@@MadMaxBible oh yeah. just checked. He says "You let us die", you were right. But I dont know that is that same character at the vision in the beginning and in the end at the elevator ? you let us die character seems a lot older?

That's right, McCarthy referenced the Furies alongside of Harpies in very early stages of Fury Road's development. I didn't mention it in a video because it would've been too much but I'll go out on a limb and say that Miller and McCarthy didn't know how to end Fury Road in a fashion that was similar to the Pleiades myth(s). In the Pleiades myth it's almost always the same outcome - the Seven Sisters launch themselves into the sky, in the Greek version of that myth they are turned into doves by Zeus and then into the Pleiades star cluster with Orion forever chasing them. Very similar to the Aboriginal Dreamtime version I mentioned in the video. For Fury Road, originally the plan was for the War Rig with 5 Wives to dive into the clouds which reveals the ocean bed where they would discover trees and start a new place to live. To me that sounds like a real life analog to going UP into the clouds/sky that was in the Pleiades myth.

@@MadMaxBible Fantastic stuff.

It was replaced with 'one tree' from their dreaming.

It absolutely was taken from Riddley Walker. There were more names from the book that were in the original script for the film but they removed it.
