History of FURY ROAD INTERCEPTOR

[@MadMaxBible]

I keep getting comments saying that the Mad Max game did come out: The 2008 Mad Max game by George Miller and Cory Barlog never came out. It was the official Fury Road tie-in game that connected with the film on a story level and it was designed by people who worked on the film. That game was cancelled in 2010. The game that came out in 2015 is completely different. It was made by WB and Avalanche without George Miller's involvement. The reason why it 'feels like' his game is because WB used George Miller's material he was developing for Fury Road for years. Plotlines, characters and unused concept art, even stories from upcoming Fury Road prequels - they put all that in the game without MIller's supervision. In result - the game contains spoilers from upcoming Mad Max prequels. And George Miller was NOT happy about that and it's not the game he wanted to release. That's why you won't find his name in the credits of that game. I made a video about that whole situation a long time ago, but if you want me revisit this topic in a new video, let me know. Hope this helps.

[@Scott11078]

I really enjoy that game, but I've hesitated finishing it. I think the game we did get would have been a pretty cool online multiplayer game.

[@gazbot9000]

@@Scott11078 I really liked the game too, but it reveals what Warner Bros would probably do to the Mad Max franchise if only they could wrestle it out of George Miller's hands = spew out a lacklustre pile of studio exec plop for the money, and not the work of art we were fortunate enough to get with Fury Road.

[@jcataclisma]

As I have gotten ADDICTED to this channel of yours, I´d love to watch even more stuff from you, also in this "game-stuff topic". I ´ve played and beaten the game a few years ago. It´s somehow a nice game, but it sucks as a MadMax franchise. It´s just another WB-style game, with tons of mouse/keyboard-breaker combos, exactly as in the WB´s LOTR games, which received MadMax´s related names and textures upon it (as the creature which is a mechanic helper in the game acts EXACTLY as Smeagol does in LOTR).

[@Captain_Tool_Vicarious]

I literally cried in the theater when we went to see it. It was in the film for less time than Thunderdome! And then to see it just completely rolled and ripped to pieces by The War Boys... 😮‍💨 And Max just stole it from the Buzzards according to the comics that Miller was influencing!! He had made some unorthodox deal to get the final parts to complete The Black on Black. And things went sideways, hence why the Buzzards knew who he was throughout the movie... That car was the last thing keeping him together. And it got torn right back apart... So, the ending of Fury Road wasn't Max quiting, it was him starting all over again, and finding himself in his Magnum Opus. The Black on Black. The Interceptor. His last hold on what was, and that could ever be now, in this Apocalyptic nightmare being stuck betwix the living and the Dead. media.tenor.com/KT_U1KKV7DYAAAAM/mad-max-v8.gif

I love how you were able to actually connect the whole timeline between the original movies the comics to fury road it was a amazing job 👏

[@MadMaxBible]

Thanks! It wasn't me who came up with it, it's just one of those storylines that George Miller and his writers keep secret from the audience. We get pieces of it on screen or in the comic books but to get the full picture I have to ask them what they had in mind. This goes for almost everything we see in those films.

[@linglongz9713]

@@MadMaxBible still quite incredible work and thanks to you so many people know the whole story behind the mad max franchise 😁

[@Egobyte83]

It used to piss me off so much that in both Road Warrior and Fury Road they destroy the Interceptor, the very ride of Max himself. It was such a cool car and I always thought (and still do, to a degree) that he should have been allowed to keep it all throughout one or both of those movies, sort of like how the hero gunslinger always has his black steed. However, then I started thinking from a storyteller's perspective, and it actually made more sense. The story wants Max to interact with other people, have a chance to bond and form various relationships, some good, some bad, but above all else, he can not be allowed to remain a loner. If that happened the story would go nowhere. And the Interceptor is the one thing that allows Max to drive away from people, to remove himself from the story and just remain an outcast with nothing and no one to interact with. So from the narrative point of view, I understand perfectly why it has to be done. But it still hurts when that machine is trashed... every. single. time.

[@MadMaxBible]

You got it!

Original car from movie 1 and 2 is in Dezerland museum in Orlando, FL. Car has some history and what it went through but they saved it and is in car museum. I am Max fan, and I went to see it and of course took bunch of pictures and videos with car

[@Restoprep]

Great video mate, gives a great in-depth history of the cars and fills in a lot of questions that people often ask. Glad to have helped with some info. A couple of things I MUST mention is that whilst I did do most of the car as shown, there were certainly others on the crew who played instrumental parts in getting the car on screen. The set Dec team did an amazing job dressing the car, they also should take credit for the rag tyre, I came up with some ideas that you mentioned but ultimately those guys/girls perfected the look and made it work, well beyond what I could have ever done. The scenic artists under the direction of Martin Bruveris added the patina and weathering to the paint which really bought the car to life (or close to death as it appears). Also others on the Action Vehicle crew did mechanical work on the car, particularly in Namibia (as I finished up in Sydney) keeping it running and upgrading other parts like the ignition, etc. As much as I’d like to take credit for the whole car there was definitely many others who had input to get it on screen for that brief 1:24. :) Keep up the great work.

[@Impactjunky]

1:24 of screen time. What a massive waste of effort and machinery. And what a massive tease for all the loyal fans who patiently waited decades. Like why even bother resurrecting the iconic hero car only to have it humiliatingly hunted down and pillaged in the opening scene of the movie? What on earth made Miller think that would be a good idea? Was it written this way solely to make you feel like your massive amount of work was for nothing? Or was it written this way to specifically upset the loyal fanbase by literally/figuratively deconstructing the films iconic car and its entire universe? As an award winning classic car mechanic and body restoration professional I absolutely love what you and the crew did with the distressed state of the car, especially the details like the minor front and rear bumper damages indicating Max had already been playing wasteland bumper cars even before Fury Road starts, and the rough improvised looking cutout in the hood for the blower. Also the heavy black smoke effect indicating that both the Scott injection system is running rich and that the engine is burning oil trying to keep up with being supercharged while also used as primary transportation. And also the improvised cloth tent/shelter hanging from the roll bar, the improvised runflat/treadcap tire, the fact that the worst tire is on the right rear as it would be on a powerful RWD car, and the fact that the extra fuel tank is in the left rear to offset the weight of the driver. All this wasted attention to detail that we have to buy the DVD and pause to notice is why I can't stand the fact that Miller squandered all your hard work and exploited the hopes of everyone who came to see the car. People can try to justify it but I didn't wait patiently for 20 years just to be duped into paying to see the car get destroyed in the opening credits. I would have rather seen a whole new story without the car than see it get trashed so soon. Honestly Miller should feel ashamed for exploiting our loyalty/enthusiasm. When I build my supercharged BOB/Interceptor its going to be based on film 2 because Fury Road is simply a reboot wherein Max is both literally and figuratively just a passenger in someone else's vehicle.

[@Restoprep]

@@Impactjunky I'm glad you and many other fans noticed the finer details that went into the cars. The main reason George Miller wanted the Interceptor in the film, particularly right at the beginning of the film was to help tie the film into the Mad Max universe, the car, and max's jacket are essentially the two key items that people instantly recognise as being Mad Max, so the car needed to be there. It would have been nice if the car got more than a minute of screen time but at least it does come back for a bit longer in its Razor Cola form.

[@Impactjunky]

@@Restoprep Yeah sorry for venting on you so hard. I do legitimately love what you did with the car. Obviously that's why I'm so bothered by the lack of screen time. Thanks for taking the job so seriously though. The effort you put into the car helped immensely with "world building" and to keen eyes the car even tells a story all its own. Thus I mean you no offense when I say it was wasted effort.

[@Restoprep]

@@Impactjunky All good mate, I didn't take it in that way at all. :)

[@MadMaxBible]

Also one thing I'd like to clarify: A lot of people are saying that the game by Cory Barlog and George Miller actually came out. That's not true. It never came out. What came out was a different game made by Avalanche Studios and WB without George Miller's involvement. The game by Avalanche Studios and WB is roughly based on the story from the comic books and borrows heavily from other backstories by George Miller without his permission, so it contains spoilers from the upcoming Furiosa which George Miller would've never allowed to be published in a game. Hence, George Miller distanced himself from that game, you won't find his name in the credits nor anyone else's who worked on Fury Road.

Something that I love about Max's character is that he knows how to drive his car but not how to take car of it. This was also brought up a few times in the game. (Even though the game isn't a great depiction of the Mad Max story, I do believe that it's a great depiction of Mad Max himself).

Your conclusion is touching; it's sad the hero car was destroyed. But I think it doesn't get more Mad Max than that. For something so beautiful and important to be destroyed so unceremoniously.

Astonishing in-depth look to one of the most iconic movie-props in history. Or dare I say, supporting character. The Interceptor means so much to Mad Max and his perception

[@jasonviande5053]

I am a Mad Max fan from the days of old and while I really loved Fury Road, I guess I thought of it more of a alternate story than a continuation of the original films, and I certainly didn't read any of the comics. I took Fury Road as it was and enjoyed it immensely, with the game as a prequel. Despite that, the end of the Interceptor always rubbed me the wrong way. Even if Max was a loon there was just no way a bunch of other loons could catch the last of the V-8 Interceptors. But now I've just learned it really was a continuation of the series, meaning this was the THE V-8. Well this really softens the blow (as it were). Thank you.

Same here. The crazy part is how far that idea went! As I was researching it just kept going back and back until the 80's. I know George Miller likes to hold on to ideas but this was something else.

[@tylerp.5004]

Even though it isn't canon, honestly considering how much it seems to line up with the canon story and explains so much, I like to think it's at least closed to what happened. It has such great content that shows and establishes the collapse of the old world and the stark contrast between it and the new one, along with explaining a lot of what got Max to where he is at the beginning of Fury Road.

[@nicholasklangos9704]

Excellent video and details about the car etcetera!

The attention to detail in the production of these movies, culminating in Fury Road, is so amazing and admirable. The touches that no-one would see, the explanations for changes down to the wheel rim sizes, and the dedication to the story that would have the “hero car” be used and destroyed in the stunt. I mourn that that hero car isn’t out there in a museum where we could marvel at it and all of its details, but these choices are exactly why Mad Max feels like a real world with real stakes and consequences. When you’re willing to sacrifice a quarter-million dollar prop representing hundreds of hours of labor, that dedication to storytelling comes through to the watcher. It’s how a “car” movie with little dialog can be so moving.

[@b.w.22]

@@SwedishEmpire1700 - Ok, fair enough. I agree that Mad Max 2 was the high-point of the series generally, though I personally feel Fury Road to be the high-point of the production. The vehicles, props, and attention to detail in that movie was really something special. For instance, the interiors of the vehicles (aside from Max’s pursuit special) were never really highlighted before whereas this film included hand made iconography throughout that made the cult of Joe feel like something beyond the band of mercenaries who had coalesced around Humungus. For example, I appreciated the hammered metal interior of Furiosa’s truck and the locking accelerator made from (I believe) a foot measurer from a shoe store. But, yes - the culminating movie has to be the Road Warrior, I agree.

[@fen4554]

Surprised that you never mentioned the Mad Max game, because it follows the broad strokes of what the TV series was going to do. You spend your time collecting parts and building up your car by trade or raid. It's also an incredible game outright, a reskinning and retooling of the excellent Shadow of Mordor games. Excellent combat, good story, amazing driving, and enough customization to make a Armored Core fan blush.

I like to think the canonical reason why Max got his Interceptor back was by backtracking the way he went and salvaging as many parts as he could, and then weld them together with whatever other similar pieces he found out there in the wasteland, explains the different colors and rusty parts of the car. Also I love the look of sheer obsession that Max gives Slit as they open fire on each other during the final chase, kinda hope they would show more of this unhealthy obsession, as that car is a literal symbol of a new life for Max.

This car makes the FnF Charger look like a kid's car. It's just really badass.

[@JonathanFergusonRoyalArmouries]

You are an absolute hero for making this. I pieced some of this together myself but nowhere near what you've got here. Thank you!

[@BlackTownie999]

You missed the chromed interceptor that was rebuilt in fury road, max even yelled That's my car.

[@MadMaxBible]

It's not in this one because it's going to get it's own entire video

[@CyberScott86]

WOW... Unreal story! Amazing video!!

[@AAron2020xydfg]

This was so well put together, ive just started the 2015 game and your videos have inspired me to watch the movies. Thanks for all the work you put in to your channel

[@arko09]

Wow, this is the first time I hear about the TV series. Thanks for delving into the lore!

[@izaak2446]

the quality of this video is insane. my favourite part is the 3d model transitions between real photos

[@dimevomit]

looking forward to hearing your thoughts on furiosa

[@mikedawe692]

You guys need to know of the great “Ford vs Holden” rivalry that Australia went through to really understand the hard tops role here. It was welded into our upbringing. There was very little in between, you were either a Holden fan or a Ford fan and the numbers pretty evenly split between the two. The rivalry between the two local manufacturers was intense and like the States it was “ win on Sunday, sell on Monday. THE biggest race is Bathurst. Ian Moffat took the hardtops to an infamous 1/2 finish in 1977, sealing the cars iconic station in stone. Sadly both factories are dusty memories now but the legends live on and all of those cars now fetch very high prices amongst the worshippers of grunt. If they want to make any more interceptors, they’d better bring a bloody fat wallet cause they’re not going cheap anymore.

[@silviocosta9573]

Great job, man! I loved the video! Is there information available about the chrome version of the Interceptor that the Warboys drive during the war rig escape? And what happened to him after the movie? Could this be a video suggestion? Thanks for the work, dude! A hug from Brazil!

[@misterkevinoh]

I can't believe I'm just finding this channel. This is the greatest Mad Max Channel, bar none.

[@michealscarn21]

As usual it's an incredible video lad ! I can't imagine all the work/ research behind the video . Do you have any news or update concerning furious ? Cheers all the way from France !

[@michealscarn21]

furiosa *

[@MadMaxBible]

Hey, glad you liked the video! Yeah, they're filming reshoots now. Not much to report on besides that!

A good mate of mine is one of Scott Smiths brothers and he shared some interesting facts about the cars.Scott was approached by Kennedy Miller in 2002 and shared various information about the cars to be built.He was told that George Miller wasn't concerned with any continuity issues because it was a different car that had evolved in other ways.Style was agreed upon and orders were placed,three kits were ordered including full blower set ups ie injector hats,front covers and workable snouts with pulleys and belts and working idlers.Scott supplied the mounting frames/brackets and fasteners.Also thrown in were new air cleaner assemblies .A bonnet template was supplied to make it easier for the hole to be cut.As seen in the picture Peter Barton is sitting in the pile of parts and note the front guards or fenders if you like are removed.The car in the image is featured in the back2themax production and why Kennedy contracted Scott for the Coupe work.Molds were being made for the construction of a full glass guards.The boot spoiler wasn't supplied due to time constraints and why the fury Rd cars didn't have them.Smith also supplied a rolling coupe with a body kit fitted and finished in primer,it's factory colour being Mulberry and was told it was the promo car used around Europe.The car on the hill at the start of Fury Road has he body kit fitted with his complete blower set up.All the parts supplied were sent to Walvis Bay Namibia via Melbourne and another kit was ordered in early 2003.He was asked personally by Russell Allen to mechanic his cars but declined due to work commitments and again by Colin Gibson when they were building vehicles in Sydney and testing out of Broken Hill prior to filming. Hopefully this helps fill in some gaps. Arthur

[@MadMaxBible]

Thanks for that! I tried contacting Scott Smith to talk about his involvement but I couldn't get a hold of him. It's usually after a video is already published ppl pop up with info which is a bit frustrating because I would've loved to include their info in the video itself, but what can you do... Regarding Scott, I hope you can help me with this one thing - I read somewhere that Scott had an accident prior to delivering fiberglass kits for the film and building them helped him with recovery. Is that true? I found this info in some old forgotten news article that had vanished since.

[@lukewarm7744]

@@MadMaxBible He said the journo took some major poetic license with that story.He did have a very serious accident in Silverton,painted the road red and cheated death.He and his team had built multiple cars for the back2themax reunion in Broken Hill long before that article. Cheers

[@MadMaxBible]

@@lukewarm7744 Thanks for clarifying! I was this close to including that info in the video but I couldn't confirm any of it so I didn't. It was a good call because it does look like they colored the story quite a bit. Thanks again for your help! Cheers!

where are you man? whats going on?

[@megs4193]

I had to share this video I watched from a channel I'm subscribed to, it gave me goosebumps, he's a car and mad Max fan. Beautiful work 💞.

[@heraleast]

R u going to talk about furiosa: a mad max saga?

[@TheFemaleTitan]

PLEASE RETURN AND TALK ABOUT FURIOSA AS WELL CONTINUE DOING THE TIMELINE VIDEOS

[@cryleth]

I’ve waited about 3 years for this vid thanks for sticking to your word

[@Blobby192]

they did it to spite the male fans who wanted to see max behind the wheel again , they chose furiosa to be the one to drive cool vehicles from now on while max is a passenger in his own movie

[@ian-si9xw]

The 2015 Mad Max video game was all about how Max rebuilt the Black on Black , for a game based on a movie it was surprisingly good and explained how Max rebuilt the interceptor., also as a side note the stunt crew took bets at the start of filming for Fury Road as to how many of them were likely to die filming all of the stunts ( there was little to no CGI ) fortunately no one lost their life during the making of the movie.

[@Jacobowitness]

Max isn't max in fury road. I feel like tom hardy is the furry kid that uses the name as max

[@PiTjlang]

I like that

[@activecamoflage6649]

If I remember correctly Milar has stated he likes that theory but it's not what he intended

[@jsnification]

No. The feral kid was the narrator of the road warrior and says he became the leader of his group.

[@Jacobowitness]

@@jsnification yes “max” was a leader of a group if he’s having flash backs of people

[@ThundyPlaysGamez]

At 8:47, that scene, what's it from? My curiosity is killing me, I wanna know what it is, and glad to be seeing you making a comeback!

[@Censored4UViaGoogle]

Fury Road was really disappointing imo. Wasn’t the same without Mel

[@Danger11007]

Mel was planned for the role, but by the time the film started production he was already too old apparently. Personally I think it still would have worked but I wasn’t there so I can’t speak for the film makers. That being said the practical effects, writing, and world building of fury road are absolutely brilliant with or without the brilliant acting of Mel Gibson.

[@emiliolopez2023]

I was half expecting you to also talk about the rebuild the war boys did on the interceptor turning it in to the "Razor Cola"
