  1. Here are a few pictures of some cars that will be in the film. I think the first one was designed by Ford for the movie.

  2. The first car looks worse than the one from the original films... I guess it's a bit more authentic to the setting, still, it looks really crappy. Need more pics I guess.
     
  3. These are the two Ford concept cars in a competition to be Mad Max's car. Not sure how they fit into the story or if they get modded.

  4. Not sure how I feel about this. I know Mel Gibson is a douche, but I really can't see anyone else as Mad Max. This was the role that made him a star. Also, one of the things that made these movies great, particularly The Road Warrior, was all of the stunt work. The ending to the Road Warrior has some of the best stunt work ever captured on film. It really is one of the best car chase scenes ever. I guarantee you they'll ruin this with crappy CGI.
     
  5. Wasn't Tina Turner in it??
     
  6. She was in Beyond Thunderdome, which I always thought was a fairly goofy title for a Mad Max movie, but Fury Road somehow manages to make it seem quite clever.
     
  7. I thought Beyond Thunderdome was the weakest Mad Max movie. I enjoyed the scenes in Bartertown and the fight with master/blaster, but they decided to turn it into a post apocalyptic version of Peter Pan in the second half. It was incredibly strange because Mad Max is about as far from a kids' franchise as you can get, but it suddenly turns into a Disney movie in the second half of Beyond Thunderdome. The first two are really bleak movies. You have people getting murdered by marauding punks for the little bit of gas left in their tanks after a nuclear war. The first movie has a baby getting murdered. One of the villains in the second movie keeps a gay sex slave, and goes nuts when his bitch boy gets killed. There's a lot of rape and implied rape. And somehow we go from that to a kids movie. Beyond Thunderdome is a good example of what happens when Hollywood takes control of an indie hard R franchise and downgrades it to PG-13 for "broader appeal."

    This is why I'm not holding out much hope for MM4. Mad Max was awesome when it was indie. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is one of the greatest action movies of all time. But this franchise got lame when Hollywood took over. The Hollywood suits can't wrap their heads around a sci-fi movie with car chases not being for kids and dudebros. I'm surprised they didn't cast The Rock or Vin Diesel to play Mad Max in this new one.

  9. I actually never saw any mad max films. Either way I predict Hollywood doom for this film as its usually a bad idea to do a sequel to a film that happened 20 years ago.
     
  10. Max Max 2: The Road Warrior is something every action fan should watch at least once. The car chases are pretty amazing, and it's all stunt work instead of crappy CGI. Fallout 3 was heavily inspired by MM2.

    MM3 is pretty lame as it got too Hollywood-ized by that point, and MM1 is really just alright. MM1 had a very low budget and it shows, but the concept behind it is good.
     
  11. Rage was heavily inspired by MM... but that has the other effect so forget I said anything :x
