MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (2015) | Sarah's FIRST TIME WATCHING | Movie Reaction

[@EricSarahReact]

What's YOUR favorite Mad Max movie??

[@johnbeans2000]

Road Warrior since it's the one I grew up with, then Thunderdome and Fury Road. Lastly the first one because I didn't watch that one first. I fell in love with Road Warrior!

[@jh5131]

Road warrior. Grew up with it but always loved narrator reveal and max standing there beat up as they drive away (edit: I love the junkie xl soundtrack though he rocks one of my favorite composers)

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

Easily, Mad Max: Fury Road, it has the best-acted scenes, writing, cinematography, score, characters, sound effects, etc.

[@DimichasShow]

All movie MAD MAX perfect apocalyptic movie

[@Alix777.]

This one

[@andrewforbes1433]

Don't worry about continuity in the series. Miller's approach is folkloric, in which details are mutable, but the essential truths of the story are maintained. It's like a cinematic oral history of the wasteland.

[@Brazath2]

I like the theory that this "Max" is actually the boomerang wild boy from the second movie

[@andrewforbes1433]

@@Brazath2 Why? That introduces far more discontinuity and doesn't make sense for the character.

[@whatwhatinthewhat4400]

Yeah the explanation I saw was that "mad max" is several different people, he is inserted into stories to replace the main character in the retelling of the story 100 years later.

[@maujo2009]

The only director I know who does this. Truly unique.

[@mocthezuma]

There is continuity from the first movie to this one. George Miller wrote a lot of backstories before Fury Road was released and it all ties together with the old movies. When Fury Road was released in theatres, four comic books were also released detailing the backstories to Immortan Joe, Nux and Furiosa. Two of the comic books also focused on Max, and in the first Max volume they recap Max's story from all the three previous movies. It's the same Max. The comics also include the story of Glory the child, who is the little girl that haunts Max's memories in this movie. She's not his daughter. Her mother meets Max in Gastown and helps him after he is attacked by buzzards. In return he saves her daughter, but as he's leaving them the buzzards come back and run them over. There are other details in Fury Road to tie it into the older movies. In Mad Max 2, during the final chase scene, Max's jacket gets torn by spikes on the left shoulder. In Fury Road, his jacket has stitching on the left shoulder from where it was torn. Max has the brace on his leg from when he was shot in the first movie. There is also the gyro captain helmet on Nux's lancer perch where Max is tied up. And of course the V8 interceptor.

[@PatrickMusilek]

Watching this movie in the theater I had my first ever experience of being "overcome with emotion". I sat in awe the entire movie and at moments was blown away, but the scene where they drive into the sandstorm is still to this day the most beautiful and stunning thing I have ever experienced. I was literally moved to tears because what I was seeing was so unbelievable. I will never forget this movie and it is in my top 5 (if not top 2) favorite movies of all time!

[@Nevyn777]

Came to write this exact comment but was happy someone else experienced it as well 🔥

[@nicholassmith7984]

Watching this for the first time in the cinema was a visceral experience. I remember being so pumped-up on adrenaline the whole time.

[@CD-zd6zr]

Watching this in the theater was amazing. First time I saw it I was so exhausted by the time it got out in the best way possible. I wanted to walk right back in and see it again. Then I got to see it a few years later in the Chrome Edition in theaters, driving back home around 75mph on a highway was one of the most unique experiences driving I ever had being full of adrenaline from the movie.

[@jessharvell1022]

there's a steven soderbergh quote that i always felt summed up the achievement of fury road, a film that actually gets more mind-boggling the more you read about how it was made: "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."

[@victorsixtythree]

A nice bit of symmetry - Immortan Joe was played by Hugh Keayes-Byrne, the same actor who played Toecutter way back in the first Mad Max.

[@Sl0wry]

Eric points it out at 39:23

[@christophergreen6595]

8:30 i love the spikes/buzzers tribe. The way their weaponry has obviously been developed in response to Immortan's forces is such a nuanced and amazing detail.

[@mythicmoth631]

Fun Fact: this film was edited by Margaret Sixel, who is the wife of the director George Miller. She had never edited anything like this before and when he was asked why he chose his wife to edit it, he said if you don't want your film to look like everybody else's, you get someone to edit it that hasn't made anything like this before.

[@nicholassmith7984]

And then she won the Oscar for it.

[@JackToeRip]

And she absolutely crushed it

[@zapagog]

I grew up on Mad Max in the eighties and I was a wee bit sceptic to all this "Fury Road"-malarky. But when this movie feverishly sumersulted into my existence in the cinema, all that I could say was: What a day, what a lovely day!! This movie is edited to perfection!

[@ViKatamari]

this movie is GORGEOUS! George Miller's evolution as a filmmaker is incredible

[@andrewforbes1433]

I never expected the Happy Feet franchise to go in this direction.

[@jayman58016]

One of the most visually epic movies I've ever seen because there are so many practical effects. Seeing this on the big screen was amazing

[@jbacunn]

The Mad Max franchise is not over. Furiosa is scheduled to come out next year and Mad Max: The Wasteland is in production with Tom Hardy coming back. Both movies directed by George Miller. Can't wait.

[@gemelwalters2942]

Yea but there has been so much drama surrounding it, especially between Miller and the studio from the first one. The actress they've casted for Furiosa has never done anything action before which adds to my skepticism. I guess we'll see.

[@nicholassmith7984]

I am very wary of prequels and have rather low expectations for Furiosa. Maybe it'll be good, but I'm skeptical. The Wasteland could work if it does something to distinguish itself from Fury Road.

[@cullenarthur8879]

​@@gemelwalters2942personally, I'm psyched about Furiosa. Anya Taylor Joy has been good in everything she has been in, including Northman, which has action scenes.

[@gemelwalters2942]

@@cullenarthur8879 Her role in Northman isn't so not sure why you'd mention that. I've enjoyed her in other things but the Furiosa trailer only confirmed my concerns. For most of the trailer she is voguing. At no point do we see Furiosa in the last film just staring into the camera as if she's on a runway. She didn't bother to even put on weight or basic training to prepare for the role by the look of things. I want to have faith in George so hopefully the next trailer is better, otherwise I might be skipping this one. She's literally telling us in the trailer that she's Furiosa but far from actually showing us. The old "show, don't tell" adage could not be more applicable.

[@cullenarthur8879]

@@gemelwalters2942 that's ridiculous. I didn't see one shot in the trailer of her "voguing". Yeah, her climbing out of a sand dune is really "voguing". Please!I think you're projecting a lot on to her that isn't there. If you rewatch a trailer from Fury Road I bet you could find similar shots of Charlize Theron. That's what films do, they capture dramatic looks of the actors. She did have what could be considered action scenes in Northman. It may not be Mad Max level action, but it's definitely action.

Saw this opening night. I was like a little kid with a huge smile with all the crazy vehicles. They built all those vehicles for the film. The war rig is a character in its own right and the way the close up of the super charger “taking a breath” is just (chefs kiss) perfection.

[@otterpoet]

Interesting that you'd mention Toecutter's eyes... Hugh Keays Byrne, who portrayed Toecutter, also played Immortan Joe in this one. Unfortunately, he passed away not long after _Fury Road_

[@gorymarty56]

Which was sad.

This movie is a treat for the eyes (actually ALL the senses). The stunts are incredible and beyond impressive.

Having seen all the previous films, I can say with ease that this is best entry. It just hits all the right spots. Its just a long cr chase. We needed this salve after years and years of sub par superhero movies.

[@andrewward5891]

Max is punishing himself for not saving his family. That’s why he helps his friends escape their bad situations but he never stays with them after the fight. He has condemned himsrlf to exile in the wastelands forever.

[@Timmayytoo]

I think this might be my favorite Mad Max film but I did watch The Road Warrior a ton when I was a teen. The prequel to this, called Furiosa, was supposed to be released this past summer but was pushed to May 24th, 2024.

[@RuntotheMovies]

I'm here for the Motorhead t-shirt. 🤘

[@joerenaud8292]

This last movie out striped them all production wise but then they had the budget to do that with. It's a feast of action, adventure, stunts and props, but my favorite one will always be the second Mad Max, the Road Warrior because it was the tale of redemption for Max, long before this one was created and it set the pace of absurdity even further which forced this one to top them all..

[@ivanmendoza7582]

Are y'all gonna watch the new furiosa movie? ( I haven't seen it myself.)

Honestly, I think it would be really fun for you two to check out the 2015 game, just as a one-off. No need for a full playthrough. But just to compare it to the movies and explore the world, it's seriously and incredible game, and since you've watched all the movies I think you would really enjoy the experience. Could be really fun!

[@maramkura]

I don't know if anyone already mentioned but we are waiting for a new mad max movie "Furiosa" in May 2024... sooo, hope to watch it with you guys ;)

[@jonathanross149]

They put out a pretty good game about the same time that is sort of a semi-prequel to this, and it sounds like you all may have played it.

[@yapeseguy9261]

apparently they already had the script ready to go for Mel Gibson years ago but never went through for whatever reason and now Mel was too old for it. The flashbacks he had, i always took it as many of the people he encountered throughout the years before and after the previous 3 movies. He's defintely gone mad for real as they call him a raging feral and in the intro he says he is reduced to one instict: survival. This movie is Max slowly regaining his humanity and caring about others again instead of running from the past like he was doing.

[@Trip_Fontaine]

A cool thing I like to point out is that Nux sacrificed himself after seeing that Immortan Joe died and therefore was not a god. Thus he knows that Valhalla was probably a lie too. Death is the end. And he still sacrifices his life to save his friends.

[@frannydai]

Nice lighting and background in your recent videos!

[@Josh86_559]

They're coming out with a Mad Max Film next year called "Furiosa." It's a prequel featuring young Furiosa as Anya Taylor-Joy. Also Chris Hemsworth is in it. They already dropped a trailer for it

There is reports that there will be 2 more Mad Max films if they are still in the works which are “Furiosa” is sometime in 2024 and Mad Max: The Wasteland which has no predicted release date yet.

Good reaction! Um, Yeah. There are two movies that are coming out soon. The first one is "Furiosa". Which is a back-story of Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy and it takes place before "Mad Max: Fury Road". It comes out on 5-24-2024. The second movie. Which is a sequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road" or the 5th installment in the Mad Max saga is called "Mad Max: The Wasteland". Staring Tom Hardy again as Max. It's release date is still to be announced.

[@johnski4709]

There's a "Chrome" version in black and white which looks even more incredible.

[@Fettman89]

I like this one, but also feel like it's not really a Mad Max movie, but a movie set in the Mad Max world. The main character clearly is Furiosa, and Max does almost next to nothing in regards to the story. Even Max himself feels like a totally different character, like the visions of people we've never met or seen before always confused me. It's a good movie and deserves the hype, it's just not a Mad Max movie, it's a Furiosa movie, which is even more evident by the next movie coming out, Furiosa : A Mad Max saga. I guess they probably wanted a new main character to focus on but set in the same world, but knew a lot of people wouldn't see a Mad Max movie without Mad Max, that's why his character almost feels like an after thought.

[@firefker]

They traded in Max for all these idiotic characters. Having him narrate his own life story makes him sound so stupid, acting as if he's some kind of legend he would always try and stay out of the spotlight if he could. Everything else was quite well done apart from the disrespect given to the title character.

No one knows if this is a fourth movie in the same series and if so what order it falls in, a reboot, an alternate universe or what is it. Kinda the same with the last two. Are the pilot and the boy the same people from the second movie? Is Scrooloose a lost war boy? In Thunderdome Max almost seemed to recognize the pilot and him. Unfortunately this was mostly a Furiosa movie more than a Max movie. There is a Furiosa prequel coming. You said it yourself the first three movies are narrated by someone else. "And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed... men like Max... the warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything... and became a shell of a man... a burnt-out, desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his past, a man who wandered out into the wasteland "And so began the journey north to safety, to our place in the sun. Among us we found a new leader: the man who came from the sky, the Gyro Captain. And just as Pappagallo had planned, we traveled far beyond the reach of men on machines. The juice, the precious juice was hidden in the vehicles. [fade to shot of the Feral Kid] As for me, I grew to manhood and in the fullness of time I became the leader, the Chief of the Great Northern Tribe. And the Road Warrior? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my memories.' "Still in all, every night we does the tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from... but most of all we 'members the man that finded us, him that came the salvage. And we lights the city, not just for him, but for all of them that are still out there." So it's all possibly an unreliable narrator(s). Is Max just a legend to give hope? Are there Many Maxs and not just one? Has the story changed because it's been told many times as it was passed on?

[@MadMaxBible]

You're confusing things for no reason at all. Fury Road was written as Mad Max 4, sequel to Beyond Thunderdome. It was going to star Mel Gibson - old Max. That didn't happen so they got a younger actor and called the same movie a 'soft reboot'. That's literally it. It still takes place after the 3rd movie. That's it. The Gyrocaptain and Jedediah are not the same character. Scrooloose is not a lost war boy. Just because all those movies are framed as stories told by someone else doesn't mean those movies make absolutely no sense at all. It's quite the contrary.
