Best Mad Max movie that is not Fury Road

oh awesome! I have them all on blu-ray somewhere but I have no idea where.

Hardy (likely by design) works to Fury Road's advantage, because you enter the movie thinking it's going to be his movie but then leave realizing it was Theron's. Definitely not a coincidence that the first thing the movie does is put Hardy in his iconic Dodge Charger and the second thing they do is destroy it.

I like the inanity of the villains in Road Warrior a lot, perhaps *because* of their pointless cartoon nihilism. Like, it doesn't matter what their motives or morals are, they're just outright lunatics, and for that reason alone the people at the gas pump know they've got to go somewhere else.

Hardy struggled badly with director instruction throughout and was very unhappy with his performance and what he was allowed do until he saw the movie, in which his max is exactly as miller wished

Something I've always wondered: "Master" (of Master Blaster fame) from Thunderdome: was he supposed to be the hulking simpleton from the first Mad Max movie?

voting for babe: pig in the city

it's a mad max movie

xpost You mean Blaster, the big guy? There's a line in Thunderdome after he's revealed about him just being a child.

Oh yeah, meant Blaster. I thought the "just a child" remark alluded to his mind state. I recall hulking dude in first movie to be very childlike. And of course I really wanted that Easter egg.

Yeah, they probably meant mental state. Either way, there's no real timeline at work here. Each movie features just a few faint echos of the one that came before.

the first thing the movie does is put Hardy in his iconic Dodge Charger

his iconic fuckin' what

um yes WTF

iirc it was a 1991 Cutlass Ciera

I thought it was a Charger?

Ah, thanks. There's a dude down the street with a black Charger he is always revving, and whenever I see him zip past I think of Mad Max.

creating extra accounts to FP Josh for racism over again

also for being very confused about what "iconic" means

Wait, I got the car wrong, but how is the black muscle car not iconic? It's the car associated with Mad Max?

put some respect on the XB Falcon, son

We be awesome if instead of a dog Max had an iconic muscle cat. Which, lol, apparently exist.

Sometimes
I think it's a sin
When u don't know what car
Max is drivin in

Today I learned that car was uniquely Australian! I didn't even know that country had cars back then, at least cars that didn't eat people.

>:(

:)

I thought the whole point of the Mad Max series was that it's futuristic because they have cars.

I didn't even know that country had cars back then

as opposed to the thriving industry today


Wait, I got the car wrong, but how is the black muscle car not iconic? It's the car associated with Mad Max?

the clue is in the questions tbh

Aren't the cars that eat people or at least Paris some of the same ones used in this film. Remember reading that several years ago.

Once lived on the same street as a bloke that had a Pursuit Special replica in MFP livery. Always parked it on the street.

Anyway, I voted 2.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i watched Bacurau last week and it has a good Beyond Thunderdome reference near the end

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Yes

Does it go through to face Fury Road?

Be like the last page of black beauty being a description of the rendering process.

Let it be

Think u've misremembered the lyrix

decided to follow this up with something a bit different

best movie directed by George Miller

TS: "Just walk away" vs "MEDIOCRE!"

Man, the shot beginning at 1:22 here is one of the coolest ever. How'd they time that so well?

First class editing.

the kids in Thunderdome were great. ... I am generally not a fan of movies with kids
