Yeah, it's set in Australia. All four films are supposed to be legends told about the lawless years after the collapse of society by our descendants years later. Max is a former police officer who lived through the period, and became this mythical hero character. Miller once described the films as sort of like the bible of the wasteland. In the first film society is still just holding on, but it's on the edge. Each following film shows a world gone progressively more crazy.

Steven Soderbehrg when asked about story boarding referenced this movie with an amazing quote. "No. The ability to stage well is a skill and a talent that I value above almost everything else. And I say that because there are people who do it better than I’ll ever be able to do it after 40 years of active study. I just watched Mad Max: Fury Road again last week, and I tell you I couldn’t direct 30 seconds of that. I’d put a gun in my mouth. I don’t understand how [George Miller] does that, I really don’t, and it’s my job to understand it. I don’t understand two things: I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead. I could almost see that’s kind of possible until the polecat sequence, and then I give up. We are talking about the ability in three dimensions to break a sequence into a series of shots in which no matter how fast you’re cutting, you know where you are geographically. And each one is a real shot where a lot of things had to go right. I’m going to keep trying; I’m not going to keep trying in the sense that I’m going to volunteer to direct the next Mad Max movie. I’m going to keep trying in the sense that when I have sequences that demand a certain level of sophistication in terms of their visual staging, I’m going to try and watch the people who do it really well and see if I can climb inside their heads enough to think like that. But he’s off the chart. I guarantee that the handful of people who are even in range of that, when they saw Fury Road, had blood squirting out of their eyes. The thing with George Miller, it’s not just that, he does everything really well. The scripts are great, the performances are great, the ideas are great. He’s exceptional. I met him once for about 30 seconds at the Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles the year of Fury Road. But you don’t want to say that stuff to somebody’s face; it’s embarrassing."

I love how deep this movie is thematically, despite having very little dialogue and being almost entirely visual.

MAd Max is the Road Warrior. He can fight to solve problems and help to bring peace or fix what's broken, but he can't enjoy the result. Thus he's always on the Road in search of his better self. Haunted by the voice in his head. The loved ones he failed to save.

2 Fun Facts about the guitar dude (aka “The Doof warrior”): 1, the director George Miller, realised that Joe's army would need a way to hear commands over the roar of V8s, and they have no radios, so he decided they would need a super over-the-top musician to sound the advance or retreat, and who could be seen and heard over the engines. Hence, flame-thrower guitar 2, the director saw the prop flame-guitar they built for the role, giggled, and demanded they play it. when the prop master explained it was just a prop, Miller made him put pick-ups in it so it could actually be played (although apparently not well) because he is a mad lad.

The first Mad Max tells Max's story. After that he's just a participant in other people's stories. It's like a Clint Eastwood "man with no name" kind of thing.

The reason why this is one of my favorite movies is simple. It doesn't take me for a moron. There is no exposition in this movie. Because Frank Miller understands the main reason for cinema to exist: show, don't tell. He get's that I will understand what is going on without telling me. Showing will be enought.

One of my favourite films. According to George Miller 90% of the effects are practical. It is set in Australia but in this case was shot in Namibia (It was originally going to be shot near Broken Hill in Australia as the first three movies had been shot, until heavy rains turned the usually-barren landscape into a carpet of grass and desert flowers) later reshoots for Fury Road where all done in Australia. You should watch the Mel Gibson Mad Max movies they tell you a bit about Max and his back story.

I love the subtle stories that play beneath the main story in this film, like Max and his traumatic past haunting him, or Furiosa and her past with Immorten Joe, I really love subtle storytelling that isn't in your face, that you have to put together like a little puzzle.

All the previous MAD MAX films were shot in Australia, but in-between the decade or so of trying to get FURY ROAD made, the weather did a complete 360 and the Australian environment became a lot more "lushious" (more green than the barren desertscape it usually was), so filming was moved to Southern Africa

So the Doof Warrior (guitar guy) actually serves a functional purpose in Joe's War Party: the music is a way of issuing commands to the rest of the vehicles. This concept is taken from the concept of a Drummer Boy in Imperial European battlefields. Commands come from Joe's rig, then the Doof Warrior plays different chords and speeds to convey orders and attack formations to the rest of the party. This movie pays such an incredible attention to detail, that the 20th rewatch is as interesting as the 1st.

Just a couple of months ago, a new lengthy oral history book on the making of this movie came out (Blood, Sweat, and Chrome: The Wild and True Making of Mad Max: Fury Road) and I just finished reading it a week or so ago (...because I requested this movie on another channel!). Really great explanation of how much incredible work went into doing almost all of the stunts and action for real in the Namib desert. It also covers the movie's long, long genesis from the 1990s (when Gibson was going to star) through to the early 2000s (Heath Ledger) and finally into the 2010s (Hardy was cast years before his star-making roles in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, on the strength of his breakout performance in 2008's Bronson). It's just incredible how everything that made the movie into an ordeal that took almost 20 years from idea to finished film turned out for the best. Also, writer/director George Miller, who created the series with his debut back in 1979, is Australian. They were going to shoot the film in Broken Hill, Australia, where the second movie, The Road Warrior, was filmed, but it rained for the first time in like 200 years and the entire valley went from desert to lush greenery right before they were about to start filming. Miller is famous not just for Mad Max, but also the equally intense...Happy Feet (director) and Babe movies (producer, then director). His new movie is coming out this year, and then he's supposed to work on a prequel to Fury Road about Furiosa, with Anya Taylor-Joy playing the younger version of the character...if it doesn't take two decades to make.

I remember seeing this one in cinema - the visuals were MIND BLOWING - especially the scene in the thunder storm

This film was absolutely insane in the theatre. Even at home, with the lights dimmed and with a decent 4K TV and 7.1 audio it will blow you away. The deluxe disk set has a "black and chrome" version which puts an entirely different spin on the visuals. As for the original 3 Mad Max films ... a few pointers. - The first film is really an Australian "B Movie", that is, filmed on a shoestring budget with unknown actors (at the time), so you need to keep that in mind when watching. But Miller's direction and commitment to the style and visuals really put him on the map in the film world. - Also, you really would need to watch the non-dubbed version. Because of the heavy Australian accents, there is a dubbed version which kind of sucks. The original voices really keep the emotion (of course). - The Road Warrior is another level up for the series. Much more "Hollywood" but Miller really keeps his vision going and as someone said, the consensus is that its the best of the trilogy. - And the third one (Thunderdome) is good and has its moments with a great performance by Tina Turner.

Max is Death, Immorten Joe is Pestilence - his diseased warboys, People-Eater is Famine (for obvious reasons) and Bullet Farmer is War. The women, seeking to escape, represent the quest for life and literal re-birth, and in this Death helps them for its roll is essentially one of the cycle of life > death > re-birth, where pestilence, famine and war are purely destructive and under the direction of humans represent selfishness and cruelty manifest. No idea if that is true, but I honestly like the framing.

So glad y'all watched this, there's so much to love! I think, strangely enough, one of my favorite things about it is the color grading. Everything's so saturated and lush, it's just gorgeous! I like a grim, desaturated aesthetic too but we see that so much in action/post apocalyptic films that this is a stunning contrast!

Best movie of the century so far. I don't think George Miller created the "dystopian future" trope/genre, but he sure did created the definitive look for it.

I would say second best. Best, for me, is David Lynch's _Mulholland Drive_.

In reality, it's only been like 30-40 years since Immortan Joe, and the other Rulers were Soldiers before the apocalypse(as per the prequel comic). Max was also alive prior to the apocalypse, but using his age as a guide doesn't really work, as he's close to the same age in this movie as he is in the first movie which takes place pre-apocalypse. The best way to think of him is as a mythic figure, and we are witnessing the stories told about him, so the timeline doesn't always make sense.

Most of the Mad Max lore comes from the second film, The Road Warrior. The original Mad Max was technically during a dystopian future, but it didn't look too different from today, just had motorcycle gangs running all over. The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and Fury Road are the apocalyptic ones. Love these movies.

'That is crazy.' 'That's insane.' 'Oh my God.' 'What the F@ck?' Yup, basically describes the aesthetic of the Mad Max films, especially Fury Road. George Miller described the first half of the film as a Chase, and the second half as a race.

I was hoping beyond hope that you would react to this one! I actually just rewatched it again last night! :D You two are awesome!!!

This film is fourth film in Mad Max films. Watch the first 3 for context. Max is originally a highway patrol enforcement officer that tries keep his family safe during a global gas crisis that leads to global war. Society breaks down, friends and his career are taken from him. He loses his family to road bandits. He exacts revenge and becomes vagabond dealing death to those would cross him. At this time the world has ended, water is rare, fuel is even rarer and death is cheap and brutal. At this point in time Max occasionally helping the helpless while dealing with his ever growing psychosis . The reluctant hero is a recurring theme in the Road Warrior and Beyond Thunder-dome. First film takes place months before ww3 , second film at least 5 to 10 years after. The third film at least 20 years after ww3. This one is rather vague.

2:40 "That seems very wasteful." That's the point, it's a show of power, of who controls the ressources.

No world building? Just 3 movies setting this up lol

It takes place in Australia (story wise). You need to watch the original Mad Max and the follow up movies with Mel Gibson. They are great and give he back story.

Fallout was inspired by another game called Wasteland, which was quite revolutionary at the time. Wasteland is now a franchise in and of itself, but both game series' pay homage to various popular culture, one of which being the Mad Max universe. The Fallout games also contain many references to the Wasteland games throughout

Watched this multiple times in theater and countless times at home. One of, if not my favorite movie off all time. It's so over the top and insane the whole time, so beautiful and bold, but the acting and characters are so real and subtle with just a 1 second shot at their face. So good.

Hope you like a two hour explosion with Tom hardy and Mr. F. What a film, what a lovely film.

If you like the story here, you may like some of George Miller's other screenplays. Like Babe. Or Happy Feet. No, I'm serious.

@@nickyarbrough8392 I went looking for the same quote and found the full quote isn't about Happy Feet 3 being a painful idea, it's about the creative process: "If you put a gun to my head and said, 'You have to come up with a story for Happy Feet Three,' I’d say shoot me. I would have no idea. I really would have no idea. The stories creep up on you. You just have to allow the stories to come, and then they get in like little ear worms in your head and they won’t go away. If that happens and we’ve got the energy, we’ll do it is a fantastic movie a third one. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. That’s the only way you can do it. It has to be authentic. I really wanted to make this film better than the first one. Otherwise, at my age, what’s the point? You really want to make it better. If something comes up that’s really exciting and I can convey that enthusiasm to other people, then there would be a third one."

the guitar guy was like an army's drummer boy directing the vehicles and the attacks with musical signals and the lights to keep the group coordinated and together and to relay commands to soldiers

I was blown away by this in the cinema. Absolutely loved it. George Miller was not f*cking around.

Another chase film that you should check out is Steven Spielberg's "Duel" (1971), which was a TV movie that was extended for a theatrical release. It's basically Jaws on land.

Absolutely watch the earlier movies. The 1st one is pretty much an independent film. Rough and ragged, but that makes it all the better somehow.

"Road Warrior" is the masterpiece of this series ... gotta watch it.

This movie has equally some of the best practical effects and CGI. And a lot of the movies practical. But if y'all haven't you definitely need to watch the other three mad Max movies. Mad Max, road warrior, and mad Max beyond thunderdome, which has Tina Turner is the villain. And she's actually really threatening.

The chronology is a bit messy, but this all takes place within a lifetime of the end of the world. Max was an adult before the bombs dropped, so the old women were definitely talking about life before the apocalypse.

Don't analyse it. Treat every Max story as a re-telling of a myth. Than it will make sense.

I HIGHLY recommend the original Mad Max trilogy.

Love Simone’s impersonation of Bane at the beginning. So good it scared George

Set in Australia...filmed in Namibia. 99% practical effects and real car builds. A masterpiece of dystopian film making.

He yells 'witness me!'. It's the post-apocalyptic equivalent of 'hold my beer'.

One of the best movies in recent times. An absolute banger of a film. I especially love the 'devolved' English. Also, the re-telling of the story of Odin's sacrifice through Furiosa, as well as inversions of sexuality too. What a banger of a film.

The spitting of fuel into the intake is, I believe supposed to force aerated fuel directly into the engine. I can't imagine it being good for the vehicle, in any case.

I appreciate how you guys got it right away. They commit to the what the movie is and just go for it. Max and Furiosa are my favorite not-couple couple ever. So so good.

6:26 "Winter spray, is that what he said?" Witness me! 😅

Great reaction (as always). Now let's go with all the other parts. Mad max 1 was miller's first movie. Mad max 2 was imo the best (until this one here came around and was a surprise hit) Edit: the lore in itself is kinda fast and loose with mad max. It's best to see these movies as the visualization of a story told on a campfire about a mystical figure called max. So you don't necessarily need to see them in order. First one is a bmovie (with shocking long stretches of boredom), but still fun to watch. Second is action and maybe a bit of horror (by how blatantly violent it is) Third is a bit too tame in some ways (very low death toll) but also in some ways one of the craziest

You guys should definitely watch the previous films, there's so much background to the story and the world you're missing. This is a whole continuous franchise, the storyline hasn't finished just yet. Like many other have said here, the whole movie was done practically, the CGI is only complementary.

Winter Spray!!!!! OMG I laughed so much at that. I will never hear it the same again. Epic

The car with all the spikes is a shout out to Ozploitation classic 'The Cars That Are Paris'. I gave a little cheer when it appeared.

Where to start on a long list of "the best" this movie has? The best Mad Max (sorry Tina!), the best Miller, the best visuals, the best action, the best Theron!

Easily one of my favourite movies of all time, you should definitely check out the originals! And it's always fun seeing non-Australians get confused by the Aussie slang they throw in there!

In a word: Epic. George Miller is so vastly underrated as a pure visceral filmmaker and his dystopian visionary sci-fi is truly haunting/beautiful/disturbing. The fact it took nearly 30 yrs for another chapter and then go way beyond expectations and score Oscars for its state-of-the-art sound & vision - jaw dropping to say the least. Yes all those stunts are practical with CGI blended perfectly to enhance the violence and action. Interesting that Hardy was being toted as the hero when pretty much its Theron's film in spite of his character's name in the title. She really gives another level performance here (and Hardy's no slouch). While there was rumor that they didn't get along only enhances their dynamic onscreen IMO. I knew you'd dig this (um yeah that 'shredder' is so beyond iconic - LOL) You so need to see the original trilogy (if at least the 1st 2 w/Gibson; trust me they're awesome too). Great fun reactions as always guys! And yes set and shot in Australia (Miller is a native born son).

The “vault societies” in Fallout are more likely directly inspired by what transpires in A Boy and His Dog.

I love this movie. But Mad Max 2 aka The Road Warrior is still the best of the series at a fraction of the budget of this film. It's just more iconic with an energy that few films match.

This was shot in Australia. The old woman is played by Melissa Jaffer who was also in one my favorite Sci-Fi series: Farscape. You guys would probably dig Farscape - it's pretty off the wall!

Absolutely awesome movie. Probably the best action movie in the last decade. 90% practical effects. All the vehicles are real, scratch built. The war rig was really built with two engines.

One of the best action movies ever.
