*Mad Max: Fury Road* is NON-STOP! | MOVIE REACTION | First Time Watching | OH, WHAT A DAY!!

[@엘제-k9u]

12:57 "I wanna know how much of this is practical." Girl, every single vehicle in this film is perfectly driveable, confirmed by the Austrailian government itself. Even the flame throwing guitar is a real instrument/carbon belcher, not just a prop. The actors actually drove those, and not only that, the stunts actually crashed them all to make this film more realistic. George Miller is an absolute madman.

[@lockekappa500]

"How much of this is practical." Yes.

[@mrd4785]

George Miller was a medical doctor who turned to making the original Mad Max film in the 1970s in Australia. He's done a few other things but this is what he is predominantly known for.

[@ShadowyFox_86]

Didn't he also do Happy Feet?

[@oliviawilliams6204]

@@ShadowyFox_86he did!

[@gunlean7738]

The shredder is known as The Doof Warrior. I'm Australia, Doof is like loud music. Especially decent car stereo system with a lotto bass. Also called Doof Doof. The character is played by a musician called iota.

[@SultanSamet]

Man. What a movie. Still getting goosebumps at some moments. The visuals, the sound, the communication (no overexplanations etc)... Amazing film.

[@axlm.808]

this movie is "show don't tell" 101

[@ShadowyFox_86]

Miller said when asked about the original that he wanted people to understand the story even if they couldn't understand the language. He made sure to keep that vibe going in this one.

[@LordBaktor]

This movie managed to capture the magic that movies have been missing for a while now. Simple stories told well. The world feels like it has an ongoing, living, breathing history and we're only witnessing a small part of it. Being astonishingly beautiful and masterfully edited also helps, of course.

[@sweetspatrol1707]

I think constantly abt the idea of choice in this movie Max was forced to give nux his blood at the start of the movie vs him freely choosing to give furiosa his blood at the end Nux believing he must die to have any worth vs him choosing to die not for glory or strength or for a perceived god but instead for someone he loved Makes me so damn emotional

[@cameronb851]

Good reaction video. Subbed and liked. Interesting fact, when Miller was in the early stages of making the movie, he was getting a lot of pressure from the executives about what he was doing and why, so he had the massive dust / lightening storm sequence pretty well laid out by then and had them sit down for a showing. They pretty much left him alone after that. Also, with a few notable exceptions, such as the dust storm, most of the rest of the effects was purely practical. Actual vehicles and real people doing stunts. Great reaction video and good luck with the channel!

[@timgreenwald1043]

I like how you've balanced being hyped for the movie, waving your arms around, but also trying not to wake your cat.

[@Houldey]

One of my favourite movies of all time, its just incomparable imo. There is an alternate cut which is all in black & white - it is bloody beautiful.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

my fav cinema experience of 2015!whole cinema shook and I finished my big soda too soon, had my contact lenses dry up a couple of times since I didnt blink during the awesome action scenes!

[@christopherkaylor2940]

The guy who played Immorten Joe played ToeCutter in the first Mad Max Movie, and there is even a Mad Max video, and the explosive harpoons are called Thunderpoons, and in the game there are missions to GasTown and the Bullet farm

[@nitrokid]

This movie is a masterpiece. CGI was used but very minimal (during sandstorm sequence and some other places), but the car chase and battle stuff and explosions are practical. Also the wasteland guitarist 'Duff Warrior' (played by a real guitarist, iOTA) is probably every rock guitarist dream. You can't go more heavy metal than that. I mean, look at it 🤘

[@tommc3622]

Most of the CGI was used for compositing shots and backgrounds. Also, some vehicles like the War Rig are piloted by a stunt driver in a pod that hangs off the side of the truck, and CGI was used to remove those pods. But yeah, all the fire, explosions, (from vehicles) and the stunts, vehicular and human, are practical. It's insane.

[@zumzoom6368]

THE best action movie! Will never be boring. Definitely on my top 5 of all time.

[@beageler]

A Masterclass in so many ways. Storytelling, production design, cinematography, characterisation, editing, stunts, choreography, world building and plotting. Everything is in camera, except the colour grading, the storm and small things here and there.

[@huliohuliohamijo]

3:06 From Hardy I would recommend "Locke", "Bronson" and "Legend", those really show his acting ability in my opinion. He also does a good job on "The Revenant".

[@aspieanarchist5439]

R.I.P. Hugh Keays-Byrne. He played Toecutter in the first film and Immortan Joe here so he was both the first and last main villain of the original timeline.

[@KalElvis]

I saw this in the theater twice because it was so bad ass.

[@stephenmccauley6138]

Hands down my favorite channel; love all your reactions 💯🙂

[@Ghoulstille]

Tom and Charlize did great considering they wouldn't even look at each other on set unless the cameras were rolling or they were fighting like an old married couple. lol And the tension was so high between them the crew said it was horrible. It all started in pre-production it was like an implosion. It really shows how masterful George Miller is as a director that he was able to keep them on task. Some crew thought they were actually fighting during the war rig water scene.

[@petrusjnaude7279]

Did not know about the relationship between Tom and Charlize behind the scenes. That says a lot about both the director and the actors in a way.

[@billbabcock1833]

I saw an interview with Charlize where she was asked about them fighting. She said that it would be better not to talk about it.

[@JK-sc8th]

Both Tom and Charlize have been known to be a bit um... difficult. However, Tom is definitely the worst of the two. I've heard nice stories about Charlize at least, most of the stories I hear about Tom is that he's distant and hostile to everyone.

[@nitrokid]

@@JK-sc8th If you have seen Tom in interviews he always looked like 2 seconds from killing everybody 😂😂😂

[@mollybmedia]

@@petrusjnaude7279My understanding is the “conflict” was majorly exacerbated by the fact they were filming while not bathing, in high heat, takes over and over and over with high emotion, and method acting. So it was probably less personal drama and more “if this smelly bastard touches my arm one more time on this 12 hour shoot I’m going to scream”.

[@chefskiss6179]

You just released THREE flicks in the last twenty minutes?! You. Rock.

[@Psilocybin77]

I am obsessed with the Mad Max universe as of late. Another wonderful reaction Ms. Groves. In a behind the scenes interview, Tom Hardy speaks to his experience of doing the "pole-cat" scene. He expresses his gratitude and respect for the stuntmen and women, and describes his own fear of doing that scene for a few hours. It's actually really genuine and funny to hear the sheer terror of being up so high. He's so cool.

[@zegh8578]

This movie is chock full of environmental storytelling - sooo much good stuff to decode - like the hand-gesture, forming a V-8 motor (each finger becoming the cylinder) :D (And yes, a LOT of it is practical - dunno exactly how much, but _it's been said_ CGI was mostly only used for the surrounding environment) (Also kudos on picking up on a bunch of subtle stuff many other reactors didn't!)

[@playerone7663]

Damn girl you're really churning these out quick! This is such a great movie. Really blew my mind when I watched it for the first time. BTW: There's actually a new one coming out this year called Furiosa (yes based on/around Theron's character)

[@ITMacPro]

I love this film. And watching brings back awesome memories because I saw it for the first time in Florence, Italy at the Odeon Cinehall while on vacation in Dec 2015. I remember thinking this is one of the most beautifully shot movies I've seen in a long time and the simplicity of the story just brings me back to watching it over and over again and reliving the wonder time I had in Florence. Glad you got to see it too.

[@victorzuniga233]

Your reactions are adorable! Love how much you get into movies and that you actually read the credits! Love your cat too!

[@WolfHreda]

If no one has mentioned it, the guitar guy is named Doof Warrior, the truck is called the Doof Wagon, and the guitar is not only real, it really shoots flames. George Miller one hundred percent insisted on it. 12:54 To answer your question, this movie is almost 90% practical. He insisted that CGI only be used for the impossible bits, and for visually enhancing the practical effects.. Lastly, every vehicle has a unique name. The behind the scenes for this movie is bonkers, and you get to learn about all of them. All the vehicles are practical too. What you see is what you get. AND you play LotR Online?! Okay, last edit, I swear. The editor is George Miller's wife. He asked her to edit the movie because she had never edited an action movie before, so he knew it wouldn't turn out like every other action movie around. I believe she even won an Oscar for it.

[@undeadMonk]

The story I heard was that Miller was actually planning on the flames to be CGI, but the guitarist was so disappointed when he found out it wasn't actually going to shoot fire that he switched gears and made sure it was. Of course, that's just hearsay, no clue if it's true or not.

[@WolfHreda]

@@undeadMonk I believe the story they tell is that the prop guy made the guitar and handed it to Miller to inspect. Miller goes, "So, how does it work?" "What do you mean?" "How do you make it shoot the flames out?" "It doesn't." "Fix that."

[@undeadMonk]

@@WolfHreda Ah, thanks! That immediately lines up better with my memory than what I managed earlier. Yeah, that's 100% the story I heard, but over the years it got warped in my memory, probably mixed up with another story.

[@l34CoNCreepy]

i love the guy who made this is like 75. (he also made babe and happy feet!Q) and he shows up and shows everyone how to really make a badass movie like a master. i hope they inspire way way more movies to use this level of practical effects and freedom with their creativity goin forward.

[@l34CoNCreepy]

imagine being the car mechanic that gets called "can you help weld 2 Caddilacs to the top of a monster truck?"

[@WolfHreda]

If you look into the backstory, he was trying to make this movie pretty much from the moment Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome finished. It didn't come together for the longest time, and I'm so glad it finally did.

[@t0dd000]

Babe! No one reacts to Babe. That needs to change.

[@l34CoNCreepy]

@@t0dd000 i have no doubt that A. she would love babe and cry at the end and B. it would be a popular upload

[@Psilocybin77]

He made the sequel, Babe: Pig in the City.

[@karlbecker8775]

You also get points for the big badda boom. ;) Another great movie.

[@3dCraddock]

Nice reaction! I always love coming back to this film, it was incredible in theaters too. Neat thing about the night scenes you commented on, it was filmed during the day and then in post/comp they made it look night with grading and other comp stuff. It gives a really nice stylistic night look.

[@Cliffster420]

Great reaction, Angel! I'm glad that you enjoyed the movie and gave it the appreciation it deserves. It's definitely a unique throwback to action movies of the 80's. But it also has a good storyline. It's really an awesome film, even Tarantino loves this movie! You gave a fun, honest reaction that was entertaining! So I've decided to subscribe to your channel, I'm looking forward to watching great movies with you! It was really sweet when you said you didn't want to be loud because Boo was sleeping. That shows your gentle soul and empathetic character. 🙏 You deserve all the success with this channel and I'm going to recommend it to all my friends.

[@00Jekyll]

Angel! You gotta get your hands on a copy of “Turbo Kid” you will love this flick! Trust! 🙏🤘✌️

[@l34CoNCreepy]

Turbo kid is legit!

[@Psilocybin77]

One of my favourite movies of the past couple of decades, and the soundtrack by Le Matos is killer.

[@denniszenanywhere]

I saw Miller's Lorenzo's Oil years ago and I was particularly drawn to how he shot the opening scene in that movie -- he made the sand float like a sinewy veils as kids frolicked in the desert.

[@denniszenanywhere]

I'm happy you're happy with this movie. I was giddy too when I stepped out of the movie house.

[@the_lichemaster]

I absolutely love this film. I suggest re-watching the first 2 (the third isn't too bad either) I highly recommend them. The director George Miller has the touch of gold. Looking forward to Furiosa release in the next year or so. Amazing that the bad guy in the original M.Max film is the same actor in this one.

[@ShadowyFox_86]

It's crazy how close Australia got to actually becoming the world of the first movie.

[@chrispipes5451]

Everything was as practical as humanly possible, they claim something like 85%. You'll see in the BTS how they'd be mobbing the cars through a narrow mountain pass, when in real life it was only 2 kinda tall ridges on either side and they added the rest of the mountain in. The cars were real, the stunts were real (human AND vehicle flipping!). The Max Series has always been known for the practical effects and the extremely long-but -enjoyable car battles.

[@ShadowyFox_86]

And realistic injuries too, thanks to Miller having been a trauma doc.

[@richardkolosowski1938]

I was waiting for a Boom, Big Bada Boom, Haha you got my sub for the movie quote.

[@mr.crumbles2557]

Of all the reactions I've seen of this movie yours is easily my favorite 👍 thanks for the content drop today, really needed it since I'm stuck in bed with the stomach flu

[@matodragonespor5000]

To answer your question, like 85%-90% of the film is practical effects. They actually built all those vehicles and drove them and made them explode in the middle of a namibian desert

[@marksullivan7766]

Amazing reaction, felt every scene like it was in theater 🤠

[@Adamas97]

LOL that hop into the movie clip was comedy gold!

[@tommc3622]

The behind the scenes on this is pretty fascinating. The film was in some stage of development or production for a decade. Miller used the time to tinker on the vehicles and the concepts, resulting in a visual world with incredible depth. ... There was actually no script, per se, It was all storyboarded. A "visual" script. Masterclass filmmaking.

[@F1138-4EB]

Witness !!

[@derekstewart2695]

Realized today you haven't uploaded in awhile. Just wanted to say I really enjoy.your reactions and hope you are doing well!

[@Dystopian_Joe]

One of my favorite movies of recent years!

[@l34CoNCreepy]

hyahaha just watched your full commentary at the end. charlize in arrested development is soooo funny, MRF. i only recently realized her name Rita itself is a MrF joke.

[@Raving]

Without a doubt the best action movie ever made. The cinematography, the editing, the music, brilliant. This amount of nonstop, relentless action in the hands of a less talented would've gotten overwhelming. Here it was done masterfully. Nicholas Holt killed it. The amount of innocence and empathy he portrayed in a character that was a savage. Instead he was a dying kid who's life had more meaning than just dying in a spectacular fashion.

[@zephyr30]

So great to see you pumped up like that during the entire thing!

[@charlyjordan3545]

The practical effects in this film is a marvel. a great quote, I forget by whom, was that no ones really sure how no one died.

[@nelbongellor412]

Welcome back. Imo 'Warrior' is Tom Hardy's best work. By far.

[@alexhale2696]

And, there is a "Furiosa" origin movie coming out next year. Also, Tom Hardy is contracted for 3 Mad Max movies. 2 more to go!

[@ronaldwalls8575]

Great reaction!thanks 👍,do yourself a solid and watch the making of this!!beyond EPIC!!

[@RuntotheMovies]

Holy crapskies! Your cat's name is Boo?!? One of my kitties shares his name, though she is a girl. Boo has a really interesting pattern of lines on the top of his head. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him nap and walk around throughout the video. Please give him an extra head scratch. :)

[@saraiarapa]

9:25 epic moment

[@mikegilgenbach4840]

I went to see this movie 5 times in the theater. I hadnt seen a movie multiple times in the theater in over ten years and I havent since.

[@ToMPaSHKoV]

Practical effects FTW and yes, agreed, Nox had the best arc.

[@no1guy825]

the sped up framerate moments are almost an homage to the first and second Mad Max. I don't think they used the effect in Thunderdome (Mad Max 3). They did it originally to convey super speed and intense acceleration, and you saw that sort of thing in movies of the time. Now, it's not as necessary, but the effect is done SO well here. It's so cool seeing where the series started vs now.

[@Sidraughen]

It is absolutely practical. I don't remember who it was but some director said it's a miracle that no one died in in the making of the movie.

[@kevinklare6436]

Yes there was a 3D release for this movie. Hence the weird crash effects at the end.

[@nabeelhasanzaidi1558]

I first saw this in 3D in cinimas and i was shaking with adrenaline. What a ride

[@quinnmclaughlin7537]

there is all kinds of 'making of....' Docs here on YT, it was like 4 or 6 months across Africa....and the cars are a whole different aspect to this.

[@jackdearman5880]

Now you gotta watch George Miller's second best movie after this one: Babe Pig in the City. It's shot and edited just as wildly as his Mad Max films.

[@WolfHreda]

Dude, Pig in the City was such a trip after the original Babe. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking "Are we sure this is a sequel to Babe?"

[@mrd4785]

Mad Max is an Australian franchise, filmed in Australia with majority Aussie actors but they opened it up a little, as far as headline actors went this time.

[@echodigger]

JunkieXL wrote all the guitar riffs for your fav character, The Doof Warrior. There's a behind the scenes on YT where he demonstrates all the sick riffs used in the film. Another great Tom Hardy film is Warrior (2011). Also, your actress doppelganger lives across the pond, and goes by Faye Marsay.

[@jacobyoung729]

Such an excellent reaction

[@Frazer2]

fun fact they shot this in Africa, because in Australia there was days of rain where they meant to shoot so there was grass for miles and well green isn't exactly the vibe they were going for.

[@mnipp]

Here is a documentary on making and designing the Cars. Behind the scenes - Cars : Mad Max : Fury Road - Pierre-Olivier Potier

Yes, it was in 3D and one of the few 3D movies that got it somewhat right in that respect.

[@deboraharroyo3047]

When they announced that they were rebooting mad max I was not sure about it but I was wrong and the movie is set in Australia and the George Miller takes a year and a half to film the movies.

[@uwugames]

is a secuel, in the comics explain the visions and who max rebuild their V8

[@SillyPom]

What. A. Ride. Yes, this was released in 3D. Gimmicky to be sure, but to bring this hair-raising spectacle literally roaring out of an IMAX screen with the sound fully immersing us? Well there's a reason I say that certain 3D titles such as this, "Gravity," "Dredd," "Tron Legacy," and "Hugo" seriously need to be brought back to theaters as event screenings, because they are shining examples of the effect used to definitively enhance the viewing experience. Also in an age of so many digital effects, sweet lord it was so glorious to behold practical stunt work and pyrotechnics at the movies again! Heck, when I first got back home to discuss my thoughts on George Miller's latest undertaking online, the first thing I had to do was find the image of Max strapped to the roadster as a blood bag to best illustrate what it felt like to witness this on the big screen. Epically satisfying and an absolutely awesome sequel, this is high-octane cinema done masterfully. I greatly look forward to the continuation of the Mad Max series.

[@Psilocybin77]

George Miller has obviously absorbed the wisdom of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. The Mad Max films are about the hero's journey and the importance of myth and legend.

[@nobleconsejera5278]

Like 90% of the movie effects are practical. Nux is my favourite too by the way. I liked him since he said "Oh, what a day. What a lovely say!" :D

[@busywl69]

The trailers were better than 90% of the movies I'd seen at that time. Then I saw this. Upon leaving the theater a tear ran down my cheek for I knew true art like this would not come again until 2056.

[@BenHatira]

Ha the Lotro reference :D Noice !

I was lucky enough to see this in the theatre (yes, in 3D) and it was An Experience.

[@Dmitriy88S]

yep it was practical effects

You should watch "The Princess Bride" if you've never seen it it is definitely a movie worth at least watching once in your lifetime

[@tanimal3964]

George Miller's last movies before this was Happy Feet and Happy Feet 2 LOL

[@shawnwacek6791]

This movie is a complete masterpiece for cinematography the quality the picture everything in this movie is practical stunts real vehicles the only time you see CGI is during the sandstorm That's the only time you see computerized stuff everything else is practically made real all the vehicles all the stunts are all real except for a couple things that are CGI with computers I'm glad you enjoyed this movie it's a one hell of a wild ride I saw day one in theaters The concrete floor at the theater shook when the monster truck and all the crazy cars and vehicles are just speeding down the sand with the drum guy in the in the guitar guy in that one seen at the beginning this movie was in 3D at the theaters you can buy a Blu-ray 3D of this movie to watch it on your 3D TV at the time

[@LordVolkov]

Witches of Eastwick, with Cher and Jack Nicholson, is also directed by George Miller. He really is such a diverse director.

[@carn9507]

I didn't even realise Miller directed that. :O I'd forgotten what a fun movie that is til I saw a reaction of it by the youtuber nicksaysboo a lil while ago. :)

[@sirdurph3021]

And happy feet

[@axlm.808]

That's because he's not a conventionnal director. Before making Mad Max, he was an ER medic

[@f.g.5967]

Other works from the director? Sure! The first Mad Max movies, Happy Feet, and Babe 2: pig in the city.

Have you seen the orig first 3 : Mad Max - Mad Max The Road Warrior - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome ?
