Yes, and The Road Warrior.

[@marvinsarracino116]

Jen yes I would watch with you! Start with mad max then mad max2- road warrior then mad max- thunder dome. All worth a reaction!

[@Catbytes]

Yes, i was going to ask if you had seen the original. I always start series (and such) at the beginning.

[@BretRBoulter]

Mad Max: Yes. Road Warrior: Yes. Thunderdome: Even that, yes.

[@TeeJayDesastron]

Yes, I certainly would watch reactions to the first three movies. Well, the second and third since the first one shows a particular scene which is very horrifying for me personally. It may not be for others but there is something that hits too close to home for my taste. I may tell you when you have watched it. As for your question if this one is a reboot or a sequel....... it doesn't matter. I am not sure myself but it does work either way. This can just as easily be watched as a reboot without knowing the previous movies as it can be watched as a sequel. My suggestion would be to watch the other three and decide for yourself how you want to interpret Fury Road.

[@edmo922]

A masterclass in action moviemaking. They built all the vehicles, and it's almost all practical effects. The camerawork, the editing, the costumes, the directing, etc. So many people at the top of their game.

[@Shawaeon]

I don't remember which director it was, but someone was absolutely blown way and told Miller it was a miracle that no one died in the making of this film with all the completely insane stunts.

[@theghostofbabanovac7069]

"...almost all practical effects" - the sand storm was CGI and cringe, the crash of the truck tanker with the guitar flying at the camera in slow motion was CGI and cringe, the Immortal Joe's citadel was CGI and cringe, the flames spewing out of the guitar were CGI and cringe, the night shooting was fake (i don't understand do directors forget all of a sudden how to shoot at night, Road Warrior has ACTUALLY NIGHT SCENES filmed by George Miller himself why wouldn't he do that again) and it looked very unnatural, even the oversaturation of red, orange, brown colors it made the movie look more like a cartoon, Mad Max shouldn't be a comic book style action movie, it should be raw, gritty and as realistic as possible especially when it comes to surroundings, real dirt, real desert, real mud, real sand, trees, oasis etc. it makes you feel the actual place and its scarcity above all. I have many more critiques of the movie as a Mad Max fan (especially when it comes to Max's character development which is non-existant overall with this movie) but despite these details it was a decent movie for the series. Road Warrior is still far ahead at the top of my list, the best action movie of all time so far.

@@theghostofbabanovac7069 Gee whiz, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to build an actual flame-shooting electric guitar! Except maybe could it be, I dunno, because you actually don't want your actor/s accidentally incinerating themselves/each other? Think, man, THINK! ;) Nighttime shooting while driving and doing action sequences in a desert = difficulty and danger level goes way up. You might hit a rock you didn't see in the dark, front wheel/suspension might go, maybe roll the vehicle as a result, cars might collide; result of everything is people could get hurt or maybe even killed. Is it worth it risking peoples' safety for an action movie? No. Fake nighttime is a safety and practicality thing, just like dry underwater photography. Does it affect the greatness of the movie? No.

[@Dillpicks95]

This is one of the best action movies ever made it just gets you on the edge of your seat. Most of it was done using practical effects and it looks amazing, I still remember when I saw it in theatres and it was a mind blowing experience.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

It was mind fucking as well. I knew nothing about Mad Max going into the theater and about halfway through I had to step outside the theater room for a minute. Between the insanity of what was on screen and the bass violating me in my seat, it was unexpected sensory overload. I sat back down and enjoyed one of the best theater experiences of my life. It’s one of the best films of the 2010s and a one of a kind experience.

[@deathtoraiden2080]

It's the best action movie in decades and like 90% of it was practical effects. The director's wife also edited the movie and the edit is one of it's highlights. Basically everyone involved in this movie did a stellar job and you could feel it was a passion project.

[@mattburgess5697]

Right. The special effects heightened the practical. It’s a fantastic fusion. Definitely one of the best action movies in decades.

[@CaptainAmercia]

Mad Max Timeline for context: (No Spoilers) Mad Max Mad Max 2: Road Warrior Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome Mad Max: Fury Road People like to place Fury Road after Road Warrior as Fury Roads setting is very unspecific in when it's set, only that we know its after the first two films. The Post-Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome comics actually tie in nicely to the opening of Fury Road so that's why I personally place Fury Road after Thunderdome along with the fact Fury Road originally was meant to be a sequel to Thunderdome with Mel Gibson planed to return to role of Max in 2001 but the film was pushed back and Mel was too old by that point for the plans George Miller had for Fury Road. But regardless the whole idea of Max is that he's a folklore hero told by people who've met this mysterious stranger and through the generations like many folktales changing. The timeline of the stories don't matter too much beyond the first two films. There's also the Mad Max video game from 2015 that pulls heavily from elements from this film, mentions Gastown and Immortan Joe is mentioned but the game is not chronologically connected to the movie franchise for example Max lost a daughter instead of a Son. But regarding the Folklore tales this could be a case of his story changing through the generations or different groups having their own version of his origin. Edit: This is only my view of the timeline. Even the director himself goes back and forth on when Fury Road is set from after Road Warrior and before Thunderdome to the timeline I gave where he states it's set after Thunderdome. I guess we'll never know until a new film comes out.

[@mosesjones5376]

I used to think Fury Road took place before Thunderdome, but seeing that it was originally meant to be after Thunderdome, that is how I see it. I see it as taking place after an alternate version of the trilogy.

[@berlinkozyreva]

Imo fury road should be placed before road warrior. Max had the v 8 interceptor in fury road but in road warriors he had and lost it.

[@lateknightr3038]

[@Paiste2002Fan]

This movie is a fantastic example of visual storytelling. Nux’s character arc and the relationship between Max and Furiousa really make this movie rise above just action.

[@MovieSteve1999]

[@stevemonkey6666]

They are of varying quality. The first one is a weird low budget movie. The second is one of the best movies ever made. The third one is ridiculous and can be missed.

[@Scary__fun]

Why start with the 4th movie in the series.... that's just weird. Should start with the first as each movie amps up the effects and stunts.

[@DarthRushy]

@@stevemonkey6666 the third one absolutely cannot be missed, it has the most hopeful tone and some of Max's best development

[@noneya3635]

This is how you bring back a legacy 80's hero and treat him like the badarse he was while also including a kick ass new well written character that is female. Hey Disney! You need to take so notes homies. Max's car thought... RIP. X 3.

[@abemrofchak]

So, this series is essentially an anthology series and Max and the post-apocalyptic setting is what ties them together. It's him moving from story to story.

[@matdow4470]

This is the best 3d movie i have ever seen in theaters! The first hour gives me chills evey time I rewatch. Hope you enjoyed this one Jen!

[@NThurkettle]

I saw this movie three times in theaters because it was one of the most visceral, amazing big screen experiences I've ever had. The third time, there was a special version called the "Silver & Chrome" edition which showed the movie in black and white to better focus on the unbelievable visual compositions and editing. The continuity across the four movies is very loose; in the first, there is still a small degree of civilization left, which Max abandons to travel into the wastelands where he feels more at home. From there, he becomes a kind of mythic figure like in those Clint Eastwood movies you've been watching, where he drifts into the ongoing drama of a group of people and then moves on. So the fact that there gaps and discrepancies in what we know about him sort of fits the idea that he's a legend that people in this post-apocalypse pass down stories about. The narration in the second movie really plays up this idea. "Fury Road" is really Furiosa's story and Max helps her fulfill her destiny. Would love to see your reaction to the first three films; especially the second, which is one of the most influential action/sci-fi films ever made.

[@ContentHouseFilms]

Love this movie, but Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior with Mel Gibson is still my favorite.

[@gawainethefirst]

Yeah. The Road Warrior‘s opening narration was nothing short of epic.

[@dre3k78]

Agreed. This is right behind The Road Warrior. All the films in the series are excellent.

[@3DJapan]

Road Warrior is definitely better than the first film.

[@warpath1911]

"I feel like I'm being visually assaulted... In a good way!" You need to make that into a T-shirt!

[@dsembr]

I absolutely recommend the first 3 movies. The timeline can be confusing, but just think of each movie as a stand-alone story about the same guy, but they're being retold further and further into the future of this post apocalyptic world. The first movie is going to feel the most contemporary aesthetically, like the apocalyptic events have taken place, but the world isn't destroyed yet. After that you see the true effects of the breakdown of society as we know it and the settings of the movies start to feel more like this one.

[@robertott9083]

Definitely watch the first 3. This is kind of a continuing story from them set a while after the 3rd. The flashbacks are of characters from them. The 1st one Mad Max is a bit weird and dated but important for the character of Max. The 2nd called The Road Warrior is the best in the series of my opinion and shows a bunch of the flashback characters. The 3rd Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is a fun and good sequel with good character and world building. Tina Turner is the main big bad boss in the 3rd that she even did the song and music video for it. Please do the reactions for them because they're awesome!

[@rextside]

If you ever get the chance to see this on the big screen don't pass it up. I missed the first run when it was in theaters, but years later I caught a showing at an alamo draft house and it was probably one of the best theater experiences I've ever had.

The original Mad Max was like a special forces police man. I guess they kept that background and that's why Max has special forces medic training.

[@Phyrrax]

To this day, one of my favourite movie going experiences. I was so pumped up on adrenaline when I went out of the theatre. Considering that Miller was in his...70s I think when he directed this, this movie is nothing short of a miracle, nobody would have thought that it could turn out to be that great.

Watching 1, 2 and 3 is a must! One thing to remember about Mad Max 2 and beyond is that they are told from a 3rd person pov, where Max is a legend they are retelling, as best as they can remember. So even though there is a general story arc tbrough 1 to 4, dont look for exact continuity thoughout as different people remember the same events differently. The legend of Mad Max lives on.

[@_Tim115]

Hi Jen hope you having a lovely day. Over eighty percent was practical effects. There where 2000 to 2400 shots that incorporate VFX and CGI. The little girl that haunts Max is Glory, Max failed to save her from Immortan Joe's son, Scrotus. This is covered in the Mad Max game. You definitely do the three Mel Gibson films. Who'd have thought the director of the movie also did Happy Feet and Babe Pig In The City, could get more different if you tried.

[@mattburgess5697]

Fun fact: the “door warrior”, the guitar guy was actually the musician iOTA. He made the flamethrower guitar himself, iirc. His bouncy rig was so comfortable he would nap between takes. Also the mask he wears is made from his murdered mother’s screaming face.

"I hope they kill him and then they rip the mask off!" Now hear me out... what if.... we do that, but in reverse?! Absolutely watch the first three. Just know they didn't have the budget this one did. But still Miller pulls off amazing movies with what he did have. My favorite one is actually Beyond the Thunderdome, I know for many it's their least.

[@jimclayson]

I don't know the "official" answer, but I think all four movies work fine as stand-alones. There aren't a lot of hard-and-fast details that dictate the chronology, other than the first movie definitely takes place prior to the other three. Other than that, the only real difference in the first three is Gibson's age, and Hardy playing the role of Max in the fourth movie. George Miller wrote and directed all four "Mad Max" movies (in addition to the "Babe" and "Happy Feet" movies, if you want some major contrast), and while I think they're all superb, he's definitely upped his game over the decades.

[@axlm.808]

Miller explained in an interview that, for him, the movies are like stories shared around a campfire. It's like every time someone told one, some details changed. Same protagonist, but not quite with differents settings and timelines

[@bareakon]

I love the subtle worldbuilding in this film, makes it very rewatchable. As an example, when Max says their planned course is "160 days of salt", how does he know? Because that's where the ocean used to be.

[@Kissamiess]

Besides the movies, there's also the video game that's actually really good for a movie tie-in. It's a prequel to this movie and George Miller was consulted. Really feels like the proper setting.

[@billbabcock1833]

Yes, absolutely see the first 3 and in order. As I understand, there's very little CGI. Mostly to things like the background, sandstorm and removing Charlize Theron's arm. I saw an interview with Theron who said that she and Hardy did not get along at all. When asked if it was true that the two had screaming matches, she wouldn't answer.

[@cuddlestsq2730]

According to George Miller, the character of Max is like a campfire tale, a legendary figure. While the events of all the movies happened, they may not have actually been the same person, but stories attributed to this legendary Mad Max. Though you can certainly view the first 3 movies as being about the first and original Mad Max, they don't have to be. Overall this is perhaps the closest we have gotten to the perfect action movie, perhaps even the perfect movie with how it's made, the setups and payoffs, the storytelling. It's so well made.

[@Polyphemus89]

The original series is a must-watch. Each movie is very stand alone, even to the point of actors being recast as different characters. They're excellent.

@jenmurrayxo George Miller said himself in interviews that there isn't a fixed timeline, beyond the first mad max setting the scene for why Max wanders the wasteland. The other movies are the stories told by the survivors of the wasteland about a hero who helped them named Max.

[@javix2013]

You have to see the original Mad Max trilogy with Mel Gibson, it is also directed by this same director: George Miller. You will better understand the character, and why his daughter's flashbacks torment him, since all of this is shown in the first film. Mad is a lonely hero, he can help a group of people in trouble, but after he finishes, he continues on his way alone, that's who he is, that's why you see him leave in the end.

[@tofersiefken]

This is probably the best "reboot" of any franchise I've seen. The original trilogy is a must-watch at this point, but beginning with the reboot isn't a bad thing. In the original trilogy (with Mel Gibson as Max), the first film is an origin story for the character, and by the second film the world-building is established with the same "rat-rod", gear-head, car culture. The second film is my favorite of that trilogy, and I have to admit, this film surpasses the original from a film-making standpoint. Obviously, the indie-film nature of the first film (and to some extent, the second as well) meant that they were working on a shoestring budget. Regardless, they created a lore for the character that spanned comic books as well. The part of Immortan Joe is played by the same actor who was the villain Toe-Cutter in the original Mad Max (1).

[@benpowersguitar]

The original movies are worth watching. This is my favorite, but I grew up with the originals, and Road Warrior is just cool. Plus, you see some of what happens to Max and the world, which is great to know when watching this one.

[@vexgodglove]

The individual films work as stand alone stories and don't really directly tie in with each other except very loosely. The best way, I find, to look at them is as different stories told by the people in-universe about this legendary figure who wanders into stories, does some amazing deeds and fades back into the wasteland.

[@TomH2681]

2:39 I think you'd like the original Mad Max trilogy. The first one is a bit... meh. Low budget, a bit rough around the edges, but not bad. The second one (Road Warrior) is **chef's kiss**.

"Mad Max" is the back story to Max. "The Road Warrior" is a continuation of the story of Max. "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" and "Mad Max Fury Road" are also. I would have thought they would have portrayed Max as a much older character because he would be.

[@thomashiggins9320]

The first film, just called "Mad Max" was a low-budget Aussie film starring Mel Gibson in his breakout role. It's 70 minutes of setup followed by 20 minutes of awesome. 🙂 The next film, "The Road Warrior" was a master-class in the use of practical stunts in a non-stop thrill-ride. Nobody had ever seen anything like it; it was mind-blowing. The third film, "Beyond Thunderdome" had a bit of a different tone, and it took place at least 15 years after "The Road Warrior," and some towns had started to re-establish themselves. Lots of people panned it, because it didn't re-hash the same story as the previous film, and/or they didn't like Tina Turner. I liked it well enough, although it wasn't the unprecedented epic spectacle of "The Road Warrior." If this film fits in the continuity, at all, it slots in shortly after "The Road Warrior," but well before "Beyond Thunderdome."

When he saw the he had a knack for music, he made him his lead war party motivator. His mask is made of his mother's face, which he wears to honor her. Immortan Joe is also rumored to be gay as he supposedly enjoys the company of his War Boys more than his brides, who he only really needs to continue to bloodline as all of his other sons had genetically failed.

Not sure if you realized it later but the reason they're so obsessed with death & Valhalla is because they're all sickly (mostly cancer and blood disorders) and going to die very young, so they need regular blood transfusions due to their illnesses. The stunts were all practical (including the people on polecats, my favs) and every vehicle seen onscreen was fully built & functional for the film. So badass. Also, the guy with the flaming guitar apparently wears the skin of his dead mother on his face for most of the film (that's what gets taken off to reveal his true face towards the end)

I enjoyed this so much in theatres, i saw it 8 times. I had a really nice movie theatre near where i lived so i'd just get off work and head over and see it a few times a week. Loved it.

I’m willing to bet like you, every other decent human who has seen this movie says “ok…that’s baddass” after seeing the raiding party’s musical entertainment.

Each Mad Max movie is basically a stand-alone story involving Max in various different adventures or mis-adventures in the post-apocyalpse Australian wasteland.

The trifecta of the warchiefs who represent industry, aggression, and the cult of machismo were a lot of fun. Particularly amusing is when the Bullet Farmer becomes a parody of “blind justice” in a darkly comic parallel to some less than accurate “peacekeeping” in the real world.

This is the real Fast and Furious. High Octane action!

“What, is this guy in charge now?” 😂

This is the 4th movie in the franchise, but it stands alone story-wise. You can watch any of the first 3 movies in any order really - although they get better as they progress because the first movie is 1979 amd it shows. This one is set in the deeper deserts where max wanders to over the first 3 movies.

Charlize Theron as Furiosa is already iconic and this is one of the best Movies ever made.

[@CaptainFirefred]

This movie is visual poetry, GCI dialed back to the lowest possible - all stunts real, an original concept and the result of cooking an idea for 30 years without letting it go bad.

[@detritus8095]

"The Road Warrior" is extremely good.

[@thetxaggie6575]

The actor who plays Immortan Joe is the same actor who plays the villain in the first Mad Mad movie, Toecutter.

[@seanthornton4382]

To answer questions. The original trilogy and Fury road (and now the Furiosa movie) are the same universe but are not the same story. Fun stuff, the actor who played Immortan Joe is also the same actor who plays a villain in the first mad max movie. If you watch the first three at some of the random stuff that goes on you can see a lot of Easter eggs in fury road and furiosa.

[@jeremycovelli]

from the same director who brought you "Babe" and "happy Feet" lol. and there's two more Mad Max movies in the works.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

These movies are all technically stand-alone. They can also be viewed as building on the previous. Watching them in order will answer alot of questions and you know basically what to expect so you can enjoy the ride. They all have interesting visuals and dialog and there are reoccurring characters besides Max. For instance, the guy who plays the lead villain here played the lead villain in the first movie. Many theorise (or just like the idea) that he is the same guy /character years later.

In 2012, Sixel began editing Mad Max: Fury Road under the direction of George Miller. When asked why he chose his wife to edit his film, Miller observed that she had never cut an action movie before, and that if it were to be edited by "the usual kind of guys, it would look like every other action movie we see."

The score during the storm scene never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@Mustardonmyjeans]

Does it build on the original story? Is it a stand alone? Is it a reboot? Yes. 😂
