Never experienced that from a film before and doubt I will again. This and Blade Runner 2049 are two films I could and should easily have gone and seen in IMAX, didn't, and have regretted it enormously ever since.

The King Of Swing Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Watched the first two movies not so long back and they both (especially Road Warrior) hold up incredibly well imo. Tapped out in the middle of Thunderdome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) The Tina Turner song is great though, if just for the fact that hearing it on the radio 30 years out of context is hilarious when she's belting out a pop anthem about 'life beyond the thunder dome' as if that should mean anything to anyone. I heard it on the radio not too long ago and just thought that the lyrics must be so nonsensical and meaningless to anyone paying attention to them.

King Pitcos Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 If anyone wants to read the "script" (Miller's notes and storyboards) it's here: https://screenplayed.com/s/mad-max-fury-road-2015.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2020 They're all enjoyable movies. It's always interesting to see how much Max becomes more and more a passenger. It's his name on the poster, but it's rarely his movie. He's always just swept along in it all and a bit part player in the bigger picture. Some of the set pieces in Fury Road were spectacular, and hardly anybody was doing things like that with practical effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think Fury Road is the best action movie ever made and my favourite film of the last decade. I think it would make my all time top ten. I hardly ever go to the cinema but really glad I made the effort for it. Still holds up on the small screen and had stood up to multiple viewings too. I fucking loves it.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2020 Can't say I'm interested by a Furiosa film starring someone else...but that's also what people said about a Mad Max film without Gibson. But still, why the fuck didn't they just go with Theron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DEF Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2020 Didn't Theron have a nightmare of a time on Fury Road so she wouldn't be an option? It's possible I'm imagining it but I have a vague memory of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2020 Nah, she's actually said that she's pretty gutted to not get to reprise the role (but also that she respects and trusts Miller's vision). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh right that'll be it. It is a shame if she's up for it. But I guess if Miller has a proper vision for a prequel then it's the way it has to go.
