The complete lack of explanation for some of the most awesome and intriguing designs makes for some of the best worldbuilding I've ever seen in a movie.

[@LordBaktor]

So much so that when I heard a reviewer say that the best part of Furiosa is that it answers many questions about the world I felt quite disappointed.

[@pyroduck]

this is how worldbuilding in movies should be done imo. you show a wack thing, move on on without comment and repeat. Do that 100 times and the viewer is able to discern what belongs and what doesn't.

[@Chuckaluckful]

@@LordBaktor Exactly. The universe isn't exactly subtle, and while it lets you infer an awful lot it doesn't exactly hide that info behind shades of nuance. Furiosa spells out a lot that didn't need spelling out. I still don't think it was bad, just disappointing.

[@mozxz]

@@LordBaktor it only explains why she thought her chosen destination was good, and how she lost her arm, and kinda how she got to be in a position to take the brides for a spin in the first place. To me, Furiosa is better than this one, which is so damn rare for a prequel to be better than the "sequel"

[@LordBaktor]

@@mozxz I'll probably end up watching it when they dump it on streaming two or three weeks from now.

[@seraphik]

fun fact, george miller used to be an emergency med doc. i'm a surgeon and the fact that all the medicine in this movie was spot-on was really just icing on the cake for me: 1. the war boys are all dying of lymphoma, which is one of the most common cancer types caused by chronic radiation poisoning. hence the soft tumors (e.g. Larry and Barry) in areas containing lymph nodes (for Nux, his subclavicular nodes), the fact that they're anemic and need blood transfusions, and even the fact that they're pale with dark eye circles (again, anemia). 2. mad max has an IJ line the entire film. it's literally hooked into his internal jugular. it's often used to deliver medication because it enters the bloodstream very close to the heart (internal jugular --> superior vena cava --> heart) and thus gets pumped out to the rest of the body easily. however, used in reverse, it can also be an endless tap into his bloodstream and is thus useful for drawing blood out of him. 3. he's established to be a universal donor very early on, which is why he can give blood to nux and furiosa without causing severe reactions. 4. furiosa got stabbed in the side of her chest, likely collapsing her lung. these wounds can form one-way valves where air is sucked in with every breath but can't get back out. when she's wheezing horribly, she's dying of tension pneumothorax - i.e. the AIR in her chest cavity is building pressure that's getting harder and harder to breathe against. that's why it helps when mad max stabs her again in between the ribs. he's basically doing a brute force decompression. irl you can do this with a needle (needle thoracostomy) or a chest tube. however, she'd still bled heavily into her chest cavity through the same wounds, which is why she needed a transfusion to stabilize her.

[@nisnast]

It's easy to understand why Fury Road took like two decades to come out, they thought about literally everything

[@arttops2563]

2. You're mistaken. He pulled out the IV line right after the big sandstorm. He held onto the tubing, and used it later on to transfuse Furiosa, but that's it. Between those two events, the line was simply coiled up and stored on his jacket.

[@klemen680]

Fun fact about the second shotgun ‘malfunction’, it isn’t a malfunction. During the chase Nux fires one shot at the war rig, and the second shell is spent by Max trying to break his binds. And the weapon was never reloaded on screen, so I genuinely think Max just threatened them with a gun he knew wasn’t loaded.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Which is why Furiosa was so angry when she tried to shoot Max, and it didn’t go off. She was absolutely pissed by the idea that she was just held up with an empty shotgun.

[@MediocreHexPeddler]

It's doubly funny with the context that he did the same thing in Road Warrior. He had no ammunition, but the people staring down the barrel of the gun didn't know that.

[@brightstonepictures]

We did that again in our fan made Mad Max short film Hope and Glory. Always loved Max and the empty/ malfunctioning shotgun.

[@dangermonkeygostones]

Exactly this, Max knew he was bluffing with the shotgun. But Max didn't know that Furiosa's response would be to murder him - when she pulls the trigger he realizes how serious she is about her cause.

[@sukottotsukeshi.]

Hope he considers using a revolver in the wasteland movie

[@ScilentFox1220]

Bonus fun fact: Max having bad hearing was so much of a plot point that he wore a hearing aid. Problem was the continuity with the kind of hearing aid he was wearing kept changing between shots and they decided they wanted to remove the hearing aid completely. So most times you see Max’s ear, that was probably a shot we painted to remove the hearing aid.

Oh shit you worked on Fury Road? Fuck yeah man!

[@ZotharReborn]

To add to the 'Max is an immortal' headcanon: Aside from Max being canonically far older than anyone in the film and surviving what nobody should consider this: Nux at the beginning of the film is so weak, he is almost dead on his feet. He needs to be hooked up to his bloodbag just to stand. And yet, one transfusion with Max later, and he's completely able-bodied for the rest of the movie, also surviving some pretty crazy shit. Again at the end with Furiosa: she's on death's door before the transfusion. Then, she is able to stand with Max's help on the hood. And yet when they are being lifted up mere moments later she is standing on her own with no apparent weakness. Almost as if getting a transfusion from an immortal makes people significantly stronger, even if not immortal themselves. Then there is just the 'vibe'. Max behaving as though he's almost lost the ability to speak or create language, very much gives 'immortal who has been around for too long' before reconnecting to the human race. Which is much less empirical but hey. It's Fury Road. We're all about vibes here.

[@stickiedmin6508]

As someone who actually required a large transfusion once, I can confirm that they *_absolutely_* make you feel like you've suddenly been granted superpowers, even if the blood didn't come from an immortal. I had been anaemic for a long time due to an ulcer slowly leaking blood into my gut, and just got used to it. After a nasty nosebleed dragged my blood count down to truly dangerous levels, I had to have a transfusion. I'm not even kidding when I say the nurses practically had to hold me down to dissuade me from leaping up and running laps around and around the hospital.

[@fortressnearabridge]

There is SO much thought put into the set design of this movie. The DVD has a great behind the scenes on the role of art in the world of Fury Road - basically, even when the world is shitty, people like to create things that reflect who they are.

The single greatest moment in this entire movie is when she's trying to get Max to let her in the truck and nothing is working but then she realizes that he is a survivalist and getting the muzzle off his face is his greatest priority, so she offers him a way to get it off and there's a single beat and then the loud cello string coming in as he looks at her and lets her in.

[@HAunderscoreVE]

There was a theory running around that Max is the personification of death in the wasteland, since that's what he witnesses the most, and what he lacks (there were more details, and some stuff that made the theory fall apart too, but i'll gloss over that), but i like the idea that max is now cursed to wander the wasteland forever, never dying or aging, forced to keep moving by forces he can't afford to think about because as much as he is tired by the survival, something keeps him going. It reminds me of some short story anthologies, where the characters are the same, but the stories are all different.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

I think Max is the most interesting when he’s an almost mythological figure, or a folk hero.

[@RandomBrainCell]

@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick it's a neat and clean way for all the movies to work. They fit into the timeline wherever makes the most sense in that movie.... even if it doesn't make sense in the greater Media franchise.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

@@RandomBrainCell Hell, I don’t even think they needed to have actually known him. “Mad” Max Rockatansky could just as easily be an archetype in oral folklore.

[@trustindean5164]

The thing that makes this movie just an absolute legend is everything being so mythical like you're talking in terms of gods and stuff and yet having the deeper layers you'd expect when you dig deeper. Theres clearly at least some kind of weirdo supernatural going on, Max has some prophetic visions and is clearly older than he appears, but also everything feels like it has an origin which differs a lot from myths. Having Furiosa as a movie now tells us even more and makes it more of a lived world but even then theres a place that miraculously is lush landscape surrounded by desert which is hard to explain

[@saintdane7336]

As to Max being immortal, I mean….. if Fallout and many other nuclear based apocalypse stories are to be believed, I 100% think that Max just got exceedingly lucky (or unlucky) with some radioactive mutation that makes him immortal

Lmao I always thought Rictus just said "good" but now I can't unsee or unhear him saying "moo" and will be saying that constantly from now on 🤣

[@user-iz8ib8lw1d]

I believe that in most of these movies, Max's story usually ends when the group he is helping find safety and/or leaves on a journey to find hope. When the Many Mothers, Nux, Furiosa, etc, drive off on the salt flats, that's usually where a Mad Max story wraps up. In this movie, Max decides that's not enough. If it was enough, he wouldn't be haunted by nightmares of those he has lost. Some of his ghosts are people he did bring to safety, but he knows they died looking for hope after he left them. So he decides to stop Furiosa's group, not only because they will die on the flats, but because he wants to see them find hope and safety. He wants to see this mission to its completion. It's a big character decision for Max to finish the mission, even after everyone is technically safe. IDK, that's my take.

[@averymerrick]

For folks wondering about the timeline, *Fury Road is after Thunderdome:* The backstory of Glory the Child in the tie-in comics and how she became involved in Max's life. Some time before, she had been kidnapped by the Buzzards during a raid on a trading convoy, and her mother searched and searched for someone who could find her daughter and bring her back. After saving Max's life, he owed her a favor which was finding and returning Glory to her mother. After a harrowing excursion into the Sunken City, Max managed to both save Glory and retrieve his stolen V8 Interceptor. Unfortunately, the remaining pursuing Buzzard ran over both the mother and child, *eerily re-enacting the deaths of Max's wife and child.* Max killed the attacker and found the mother dead on the scene, while Glory was holding onto her last breath. Glory's last words to Max was to tell him to look after her mother, not knowing she was already dead. *This event arguably destroyed pretty much all the psychological development Max had undergone during the events of Beyond Thunderdome, resulting in him being the shell of a man he is in the opening of Fury Road.* Glory: You... came back. I knew... you would. Is... mamma all right? Max: She's fine. Glory: Look... after her... Max: I will.

Fun fact: an older script version of this movie had planned to recast Mel Gibson as Max. He would have been much older, in fact I think they planned to make him look older than Mel's actual age. Fury Road was supposed to be his final journey, and at the end he would have settled the Citadel and stayed. It was when Mel Gibson kinda went crazy and some other cast issues ensue, that *finally* George Miller "cristalized" and fully went with his whole "legendary tales around the campfire" thing with Max, that made the continuity go fully out the window. But yes. At some point in history, there was an alternate version where the Mad Max franchise had a somewhat well defined (sorta) continuity, or at least when that was in the planning table.

When Furiosa says “remember me” to Joe I always thought it was an odd question to ask before killing him. Obviously he remembers her. But it’s not a question… it’s a statement in the same sense as warboys saying “witness”. She’s using his own dogmatic philosophy against him by telling him to remember her in the afterlife, as the only people who witnessed his death are Furiosa and one of his wives.

The explanation I most prefer and I carry as head-canon is that Everything that happened in the films after Mad Max are retellings from unreliable narrators of the legend of a drifter known only as Max [Rockatanski]. This explains the inconsistencies in continuity from one movie to the next as well as some of the more almost fantastical elements, like his seeming immortality, the reappearance of his one-of-a-kind car despite being destroyed multiple times, and the rate of deterioration of society throughout the movies. The first movie is the one most grounded in reality and is therefore likely the only one that can be relied on to give a picture of the “Real” Max.

[@michaelyoung4972]

My favorite thing about this movie is that Immortan Joe is visibly older than Max and therefore was probably a normal person once. I like to imagine he was a mail man or something super domestic like that. (JK I love every single thing about this movie)

[@aarongill793]

You should definitely read the prequel comics. They give more of a history to Joe and there’s an excellent issue featuring Max that reframes his character from the ending of Thunderdome to Fury Road itself. It does attempt to tie in the whole lore, and suggest that they all fit into the same continuity. George Miller was the co-writer, so it’s clearly in his vision for the franchise, but it’s still open for debate and discussion, given the different tone and setting of each movie.

[@trexhunter2883]

Watching this and seeing all the setups that Furiosa retroactively put in place makes the movie so much better. I honestly can't wait to double feature the two.

In my head-canon, Toast told Max that he has 2 left meaning that if he didn't nail it with those 2 shots, the final, fourth shot would have to be taken by Furiousa. Max gives up leaving 2 rounds with Furiousa only needed one saving the last round for later.

[@alexgaray1216]

She is the dessert

Oh wait I got confused what you said…

[@Prymul]

it really isn't.

Saw Furiosa this morning. Really great, not quite as "fresh" as Fury Road was, but that's a tough act to follow. Felt a little overstuffed and a touch too preoccupied to further establishing the backstory of this world and known characters. But thoroughly enjoyable none the less. If Fury Road was a 9.5, Furiosa is an 8.

[@carloshenriquezimmer7543]

The most iconic part of this movie series (to me, at least) it that they do not make that much sense. Like, not at all. Just too much of an insane world, like Max sort-of remarked in the original, "if I keep dealing with this insanity, I would end up going mad myself" . Everything is insane, Max is insane, the world is insane, we should accept it as it is. Halucinations don't have a beggining or an end. My point is, the lack of a backstory is THE BACKSTORY ON ITSELF. The characters exist like that. They just are. But this just works for these movies. And that, for me at least, it s the problem that will make me not watch Furiosa, possibly. Well, at least not rigth now. TBH, I think MadMax Wasteland's setting could provide us with a shitload of crazy good short stories. Like an anthology of sorts, but if they take too long in a single story, IDK...

[@aarongill793]

@@carloshenriquezimmer7543having seen Furiosa and completely understanding your concerns, I can assure you that Furiosa doesn’t do much at all to dispel the dystopian setting, since it is very much set after the fall of the world, just like the other movies. As many other comments on here have suggested, it really is worth a watch! It does enough to expand the mythology, whilst feeling grounded in the ‘Fury Road’ setting, without retreading too much familiar territory. It’s definitely more of a saga than a non-stop action romp, but it’s still a hell of a ride. That’s just my two penneth, though! ✌🏻

[@elementomega613]

Man I need to rewatch this. I personally like to explain Max’s immortality as him having became a Ghost Rider (the demonic, skeletal, flaming bikers from Marvel) at some point between 1 and Road Warrior. He hates being one which is why you never see him transform on-screen. Though he did once he went to take care of Bullet Farmer and his gang. No real reason why I like to head-canon this, it just tickles my nerd brain.

[@Jon-yo3kg]

A detail I always have questions about is why Angharad is the only one of the wives who has scars, but she's the one that they say will be the end of Max because he hurt her. My notion is that Joe likes her the most because she has spirit, but that means he also hurts her whenever she shows that spirit. That also means that she's the ringleader of the wives and probably got Furiosa to help them.

[@jeanjoubert2886]

The Pavement they drive on in the beginning is very close to our Vacation house (where the film medics stayed while filming). Skeleton Coast National Park.

[@valsptsd814]

“Fang It”, in my head, was just a battle cry of “go forth, kick ass, don’t die. Rawr!” I did not know it was a Oz slang term.

[@kerutlj]

Thank you for your positivity and sharing your love of mov!

[@ethanrapp6998]

I'll never forget seeing the theatrical trailer for this film as a kid. Had never even heard of Mad Max before but I was absolutely mindblown. Wasn't able to see the actual movie in theatres unfortunately but I will definitely be doing everything in my power to see Furiosa on the big screen.

[@LucasVanDun]

fun fact, in the scene where the bulletfarmer says i am the scales of justice, hes blindfolden which is a nod to the fact justice is blindfolded.

"Gotta use that winch ... around the tree-thing!" HE CAN BE TAUGHT!

[@mikaelawilson8117]

I love that the paint used to write "we are not things" in the wives' quarters (which is iconic, btw) is clearly the chalk the war boys used mixed with something. Another example of using what is on hand.

[@Crevy1467]

I think the genius of not having much of a “plot” with these films is me only seeing fury road and none of the other films and fury road being one of my favorite films ever made.

[@tuckerton296]

One great detail after seeing furosia- The glock that was grabbed from the side of the war rig was imperitor jack's, and that skull is likely his.

[@brechtdelaet6495]

i love how you brought up the camera work with knowing what to look at, because i watched furiosa in IMAX and sometimes diddnt know what to look at, except not in the fighting scenes but in some cinamatic scenes where you had one side of the screen showing the big bad giving a speech and the other side a crazy sign languge guy explaining the speech

[@Emthe30something]

Happy to watch a part 1 and part 2 combined for one of the best movies and one of your funniest commentaries!!

[@deathbyfacebook]

One thing I did think was a bit off about the film was the whole "crossing the dessert" scene. Max points out that in 160 days they might reach something or possibly nothing. I think I read somewhere that having 160 days worth of fuel could make you circulate the earth at least twice😂. Good film though and its still absolutely beautiful

[@colin-paul7147]

Could the salt desert be the dried out ocean?

[@SocialBobcat]

5:53 pulling this from another YT video on the subject, was said that Slit had that injury because during Max's escape attempt mm a moment where he slams his shackle chain into Slit's mouth , causing the injury

[@weepingkoopa2862]

Actually, the Doof Wagon has a purpose. The tempo of the music is used to signal to the whole caravan how fast or slow they should go. The fire is used to signal danger. And of course, the music also works to hype them all up.

[@cultivatinggrace]

Yo’s is a made me realize that, despite having watched this movie over a dozen times, I actually need to watch it at half speed to pick up on even more things I’ve missed

[@jadechan8673]

Finallyyyyy. I love this movie so much, and i love the points you make and details you point out. I thing my favorite moment is the part where the truck "breathes" during the motorbike attack. It felt like such a moment of hope, culmination of the entire chase for me... the forward momentum of this movie is unparalleled

[@Technodreamer]

Hey, guess how I learned that a single line delivery is capable of making me cry? That last "witness me"...not even in the movie! I'm crying from this KZbin video!!

[@macfilms9904]

I feel like Road Warrior, Thunderdome and Fury Road are all essentially the same film, with some different details. Miller has just gotten closer & closer to the platonic ideal of a Mad Max film - a reluctant hero called to help decent people escape from terrible people that ends with a giant destructive car chase. This was just the ultimate version of that film.

[@andareon]

your recurring jokes about the pickup line book really made it for me, thanks for the video.

[@FatalDevotee1]

I can't wait to watch Furiosa and Fury Road back to back.

[@fighterpilot1_2691]

These videos are incredible, they keep me company while I sit at my desk for hours editing videos and make my family members think that I'm insane because ill be editing videos and laughing uncontrollably. 😄

[@eatpowder]

Not only do the warboys salute with the “V” formation of their interlocking hands, but the 8 fingers also represent the “8”

[@patrickspencer6550]

Thanks! I still have those suggestions for the coming months or whenever you can: 1. Request #36 for Jurassic Park 2 (1997) and 3 (2001). 2. Request #25 for Shrek (2001) 3. Request #26 for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). I understand how you might be busy with The Flash, Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2, Wonka, and possibly Oppenheimer. But still, take your time. Love you, CinemaWins! Always! Also, I still can't wait for the teaser shot at the end of EGA Dune: Part 2!!!

[@Devon.with.an.i]

Nah. Dude's just gonna keep reuploading videos.

[@jspost3]

You’re a good narrator. Tone and cadence. The delivery is excellent

[@monsterking1973]

What a lovely day I be going to see Furiosa later tonight

[@valleyscottblog2440]

These videos consistently make me want to go back and rewatch the films they are about. I end up realizing how much I missed of the characterizations or subtexts.

[@dissolved9487]

Am I tripping or did you make this 3 years ago?

[@Zuub470]

Not sure why the reupload together... but I'm not complaining and it's going to add at least another couple views from me on top of the probably 10 times I've seen the original videos. Keep up the good work. Also Amazing videos, and this is an amazing movie.

[@jeremyrice9437]

Thank you again for the amazing work

[@youdontneedtoknow106]

The mad max game that came around the time of fury road is so underrated plus i love the war rigs horn its so good

[@spyegle]

IM DISAPPOINTED YOU DIDNT SEE THE TWO HEADED LIZARD AT THE BEGGINING......... THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WIN

[@ShadowKaiserin]

Hazel eyes are like mirrors, their coloration appears different depending on the light in the environment. It also depends on what their natural mix is, because hazel is usually a combination of two colors. Furiosa has a blue base with brown or gold. In some lights they can look green, in others they can appear almost golden. Despite being one of the most common eye colors, it has so many combinations that it's also one of the most unique.

[@NoneNone-lk1mr]

Im really excited for when you do Everything Great about Furiosa.

[@rpgames1401]

Win 56 7:29 is such a banger because she slides it forward in the metal so it can’t slide up

[@ArthurCrane92]

I'll take any opportunity I can get to gush about this movie.

Literally just watched all 3 parts yesterday, yet here I am again ✌️

[@schiz0phren1c]

I kinda think *"fang it"* is more of an aggressive move than just "drive fast", like "fangs out, Warboys, this is gonna get MESSY!" type of order.

[@lastzombiehunter]

06:39 'Fang it' owes it origin to the Australian car culture. It loosely means something like 'Full Throttle'.
