[@graymyers]

Fury Road showed the true power of color grading in film.

[@graymyers]

tgr101 thx

[@Alice-me2qk]

I hope Marvel Studios is paying attention.

[@arielsolomon5645]

Have you seen Black and Chrome yet? It's breathtaking.

[@azania1243]

Alice dc for life boi

[@TUkrLad]

Snyder uses film cameras for his movies. So DC is for the most part, untouchable in terms of color and cinematography. Ignore the retards

[@Matt_Rowan]

Way to not even mention that Immortan Joe is played by the same guy who played Toecutter in the first movie - Hugh Keays-Byrne. Bonus thing you didn't know.

[@ScottMcFarlaneFilms]

good eye!

[@switchingtime]

Matt Rowan That's easily one of the most popular fun facts about the movie, though. They go for more obscure things...hence things you (probably) didn't know.

[@Matt_Rowan]

I don't doubt they've mentioned it before and I'm probably an idiot :D

[@shootatsquare]

"you probably didn't know." that's why

[@vonneely1977]

Matt Rowan The guy who played Chewbacca in SW7 is the same guy from the very first movie.

[@Tool0GT92]

Wow a lot of respect for making so many custom cars!

[@reeceracing123]

Only 15 of them survived filming also! The rest were destroyed.

[@impalabeeper]

Reminds me of the fact that armors and weapons in Lord of the Rings trilogy are all handcrafted. Respect to production teams who give their dedication for authenticity.

[@user-gi5cn3os4b]

Right. I'm off to go rewatch Fury Road again.

[@CineFix]

Us too!

[@melquizedec]

simplest plot of history: go from A to B....and then back to A

[@FreakieFan]

also the dumbest

[@melquizedec]

Lt. Col. Frank Slade it's about execution

[@rolanddeschain6089]

you can simplify almost every plot to it's bare bones. It says nothing about the final execution. And by the way: Movies are much more than just the plot.

[@FreakieFan]

Roland Deschain Simplify the plot of The Godfather Part II please. You really cant strip every plot down as bare as you can with Mad Max

[@jeronimotorres1]

Flashback: The Movie

[@manta7099]

One of the reasons why the cars are old is that the series started in the 70's meaning their woundn't be to many cars being manufactered after the apocolypse so having the old cars also helps follow the lore

[@SkarrGaming]

Only thing this video needed was more footage of the guitar guy! It made me smile every time he appeared.

[@moestrei]

Die you know the guitar guy is married to the red headed wife in real life? Lucky guy!

[@filmfanaticx4212]

Something that could add to using older cars instead of modern cars to make and model the ones in the film, is that the original Mad Max films were made in 1979-1985. Even though Fury Road still most likely takes place quite a few years after Beyond Thunderdome, they probably didn't want to use modern cars for the reason that die hard fans would easily pick up on that and that it wouldn't fit in the already created universe, where an apocalypse happened sometime in whatever future year the first movie is set in(I actually haven't seen the first three, just Fury Road).

[@CineFix]

Definitely-- keeping the aesthetic of the earlier films was an important consideration. But, we also think it's pretty cool that the filmmakers thought about the fact that these older cars are much more likely to survive, when they went in this direction on Fury Road!

[@kjphillips5575]

YOU HAVENT SEEN THE FIRST 3 WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

[@filmfanaticx4212]

Deathclaw Preservation Society Maybe it's because I don't have a lot of time on my hands? Maybe it's because I don't have enough money to buy movies every weekend? Maybe it's because Netflix doesn't carry them? Maybe it's because I hate censored TV versions of movies? Maybe it's because it's really hard to find the first one in stores? Maybe it's because the double feature only has 2 and 3? Maybe it's all of the above?

[@kjphillips5575]

pirate it

[@filmfanaticx4212]

Deathclaw Preservation Society Thanks for the idea, but I prefer to get my movies through legal channels. Plus some of the pirated movies have really shitty quality.

[@BIGTENFanatic]

MAD MAX SHOULD HAVE WON BEST PICTURE!

[@acutefailure1]

It's the people's champion.

[@FreakieFan]

it definitely shouldntve

[@switchingtime]

WolverinesNation92 Spotlight earned that title fair and square, but I agree that this is one of the best movies of the year it came out, if not the decade.

[@BIGTENFanatic]

Carlos Murillo Mad Max was much better than Spotlight and I liked Spotlight

[@danielmashanic5738]

WolverinesNation92 I loved Spotlight, but nothing was even close to Mad Max: Fury Road for me.

[@isaiahsreviews]

Awesome when you find out the crew deserves more awards than the cast 👍😃

[@jonatasnogueira7525]

Isaiah's Reviews Well most of their Oscars were toward the crew than the cast, so they apreciated the work of everyone.

[@isaiahsreviews]

Jonatas Nogueira Absolutely I just love it when the crew can outshine and win like that

[@FluffyBuzzard2TheMax]

One of the best movies of the last decade and it will be remembered for years to come

[@FreakieFan]

Paul Jesus wow, 3 comments, what a hefty amount right?... You're a bit sensitive arent you.

[@jjjkoy]

colonel, are you hating on mad max because you were once a prize breeder, but have since lost your looks and now immortan Joe isn't paying as much attention to you? come on, just hit the gym a bit, try some skimpy outfits, kinky shit, anything to bring the spark back!

[@santos8468]

Nicolous Hoult was amazing in Fury Road. He deserved a Best Supporting Actor nod.

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

A quick stop to IMDB would have revealed several more interesting things than some on this list. Margaret Sixel had roughly 470 hours of footage to edit; watching it took three months Shot in sequence (Extremely rare for any film to use this method) After George Miller screened some footage at SXSW film festival, a man stood up and asked: "How the hell did you film that!?" That man was none other than director Robert Rodriguez.

[@omegarugal9283]

- Shot in sequence (Extremely rare for any film to use this method) kind of a neccesity considering that once you destroy a custom vehicle like the oens in the movie, it won´t go back, and Miller didn´t have infinite budget to make more and more vehicles

[@MFP0666]

@@omegarugal9283 Mad Max was shot waay out of sequence to save money. They shot the underground scene intro to the Interceptor at the beginning of the process. You'll see all the MFP cars that were crashed in the opening down there next to the Interceptor lookin' fine. They took the Red & Blue lights off of Max's Yellow Interceptor and put them on the blue Nightrider Pursuit Special to make it look like a totally different car.

[@GuilhermeGomes-wd9oz]

This movie is one of the best things that happened to cinema in recent memory

[@danielmashanic5738]

Will Max Yup!

[@apolloptx]

Spoken like a man who doesn't watch many films, and thinks the only films that come out are mainstream blockbusters like Transformers. Educate yourself. There have been a ton of great films recently.

[@GuilhermeGomes-wd9oz]

Apollo Alexandre I said "one of the best", not "the only thing that happened". Learn to read, please.

[@apolloptx]

That's not the point of your comment though, is it? No, fool. You were clearly implying that there haven't been many great films lately. And there have.

[@apolloptx]

By speaking a truth about cinema? I don't think so. Are you just coming here to stir conflict? Fuck off.

Re-discovered this channel after a but of a hiatus- Thanks Cinefix!! I binged on a pile, from Indiana Jones to The Matrix to MM Fury Road. These videos serve as a reminder of my love of movies.

[@steprockmedia]

Personally, I loved the music truck (name?) and how they would smoothly transition from the scene's music into the truck playing live in the scene. EPIC film-making right there.

[@NickOwens]

Alright, now I need to watch 'Mad Max: Fury Road' for a 5th time.

[@user-xr3ph7xj9t]

great vid! I was waiting for this one I heard you take proposition, so what about 11 things you didn't know about Ocean's Eleven. It could be interesting

[@danielmashanic5738]

Great video Cinefix! Thanks so much for making this, it brightened my day. This is tied with Good Will Hunting for being my favorite movie.

[@CineFix]

Another "Oscar movie," but wow, it couldn't be more different from Fury Road. You've got very diverse tastes!

[@danielmashanic5738]

CineFix Thanks so much for replying! You guys are great.

[@NukeMarine]

One of the rare times I knew something in the list, though that's only because the info about the cars were on the videos the production put up on KZbin and George Miller directing Babe was joked about often when Fury Road came out. Still, things I didn't know decreased by five today so keep up the good work CineFix.

[@losttribe3001]

There is also an excellent tire manufacturer in the dystopian future...but I guess TireTown isn't as cool as the Bullet Farm.

[@CineFix]

Surprisingly, the next movie is actually going to be *Mad Max: Tire Town*. You heard it here first!

[@acecali]

La mejor película de acción después de Terminator 2. ¡saludos desde Colombia muy buen canal!!!!

[@edkeaton1085]

This was action from the opening frame! I was impressed with it and found George Miller's direction and both Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron's performances, respectfully, to be badass. I hope that another sequel is on the horizon real soon.

[@vontosmagicmurderbag2611]

Was 7 really the MAXimum number of things you could come up with?

I'm in awe of all the videos you make. My goal is to be a fraction as knowledgeable about film. Thanks for the content!

[@wibbers01]

Something else you probably didn't know. Hugh Keays-Byrne who plays Immortan Joe, the big bad in Fury Road, also played The Toecutter, the big bad from the first Mad Max film.

[@ThrottleKitty]

The cars are an older style because the Apocalypse happened in like, the 70s in the Mad Max universe. Newer cars simply never got to exist!

[@davepascoe6093]

A bonus thing, Fury Road was meant to be shot in the same location as Road Warrior but floods to the area after 5 years of drought meant the area didn't have the wasteland look that the film required meaning it had to be shot in the backup location

[@jasonland455]

Good video thanks for making it

[@Outpost31Research]

If ya'll liked this video then I highly suggest to check out the bts on the bluray. I guarantee you will respect this film even more (if thats even possible). This film is a fantastic example of when its ok to use CGI and mix in practical effects.

[@TheDistortion93]

I watched this masterpiece at night, so I wasn't able to really turn the volume up (because we all know the volume difference between speech and explosions), which made me end up hearing all the action but none of the speech, the english just wasn't loud enough and when I paid attention it was just jibberish....... yet I understood the whole fucking movie. That impressed me.

Also a fun fact: there was an r32 skyline used in the film although its screen time is only like 1 to 1.5 seconds

[@ikmnification5737]

What would have made the film even better is at the end it rewinds all the way before the scene at 0:26 and you see two hands meet for a handshake in the desert, their eyes on each other's, one pair more aged and tired than the other, one nods and Tom Hardy's hand is revealed to have received a set of keys. The older man turns away and walks into the desert, his visage disappearing over a dune with a breeze of sand.
