MAD MAX Recap! - Everything You Need to Know Before FURIOSA!

[@krakenscustoms]

Fury Road was one of the best cinema experiences (and the best 3D movie experience) I’ve ever had. And shout out to my wife for letting me see it alone in theaters two months after our first child was born 🥰

[@Tay_NewNerd]

So the walking is mad max but with zombies

[@MHdz-nx4vz]

The shout to your wife is so wholesome.

[@MischievousMischief]

It instantly became an all-time classic!

[@davidlin89]

Wait so don't watch it with the two months yr old and the mother?

[@angel_animefriends7320]

@@davidlin89with the child? Really?

[@lucerobarrera8707]

I love these classic movie recaps before a new one comes out. Some of us don’t have time (or remember) what came before or little plot points. Excellent work. This is what you guys do best!!

[@Lamq555]

I went to watch Fury Road not knowing anything about the previous films and was BLOWN away! I’m so hyped for Furiosa 🔥

[@BumbleTboi]

I literally just watched fury road on MAX and it has me hyped for the next mad max movie lol

[@thestarseeker8196]

It’s AMAZING

[@Yusso]

I watched Furiosa first, then Fury Road. So in the right order :D

[@alisterfolson]

The best part of these movies: they're pov of the people there. Doesn't matter who's playing Max or Furiosa.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

100%. That's why the feral boy theory is wrong.

[@ACGalaga]

This exactly. Max is a legend. Max could be anyone!

[@austincarlson9270]

​@@ACGalagathis is some stupid pretentious shit max is literally the character the series follows

[@k1df1n]

Fury Road was one of the best cinema experiences I've ever had, and one for the few movies I saw multiple times in the theater. I'll never forget that shot of Max rising from the sand after the firestorm. It was so incredible on the big screen.

[@WoodyandJim]

this was not only an excellent preparation for Furiosa, but gave me insights into the previous films I never had. ScreenCrush, you're crushing it

[@RickDwrecked]

The Max in Fury Road is not the Feral Child from Road Warrior, the Tie-in Comic Books make it clear that He's the same person that appeared in the 1979 original. Beside that fact, in the opening of Fury Road, Tom Hardy is credited as "Max Rockatansky" not simply "Max"

[@vonhellus]

I was gonna comment that but you beat me to the punch lol also “Max” using a boomerang?? That was a kukri knife.. screen crush dropped the ball on this one

[@thesneakyfrog]

Plus narration in opening says he was cop. "My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else."

[@vonhellus]

@@thesneakyfrog exactly

[@Angie9177-k9l]

also keep in mind George Miller almost made Fury Road 30 years ago with Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver

[@YetAnotherPilot]

And Fury Road 'Max' has visions of his children / wife throughout the movie, so that doesn't add up either. Theory doesn't hold water.

[@ZrodyApo]

A neat detail at the start of Fury Road shows that Max blood type is O negative, which makes him an universal blood donor, that's why he's able to give blood transfusion without issues

[@deeobrien5417]

That’s exactly what I was wondering, I’m O positive which means I can donate to all + so I was wondering did the movie mention then that he’s O negative being the universal donor (I presumed that’s why he’s so valuable but was hoping the movie specifically said why) so I’m so glad I read your comment as it’s a really good detail and I don’t remember seeing that 💁🏻‍♀️

[@ZrodyApo]

@@deeobrien5417 it happens early in the movie after they capture Max The tatoo guy was puting his blood type among other details on Max's back

[@deeobrien5417]

@@ZrodyApo Ah that’s brilliant, thanks so much for letting me know as I haven’t seen it I think since it came out and I’m literally just about to pop it on right now so your timing is so excellent, now I can look out for that detail which I probably would have missed but I really like when movies or shows are accurate with things like this, like being specific about the fact he has universal donor blood type which makes him so valuable, as opposed to some things i see where anyone can give blood to anyone, for some reason that irks me! Though I shouldn’t be surprised they’d do it right, it’s such a glorious movie and I really appreciate details like that! Thank you!

[@ZrodyApo]

@@deeobrien5417 you're welcome 😄 It's the blink and you'll miss it kind of detail, I myself didn't know about it until many rewatch of the movie and seeing some videos about it, the behind the scenes etc... And this is the kind of details that add so much to the story and the characters, especially in Mad Max with the value of resources and people Can't wait to watch Furiosa 😁🔥🔥

[@cody1390]

​@@deeobrien5417I thought O positive could RECEIVE from all and O negative can GIVE to all no?

[@jakobarnold1129]

The only movie I have ever seen 4 times in theaters. Lived close to a theater at the time and knew the best times to go. Saw it once in 3D for my second viewing. I enjoyed it more and more each time.

[@Danny_DaKid]

Man I really liked your theory, especially with the music box and how quiet Max is. Especially how Max says his own name out loud, he says it as if he’s realizing that’s the name he’s taken on because he’s never really had a name. But according to there comments it’s the same Max.

[@deeobrien5417]

I’m so glad I watched this, I only ever saw Fury Road at the cinema (feel very lucky i did now) and that feels like so long ago and I never saw the old movies so this is such a good refresher; concise but it feels like it has every detail you’d need plus it’s really made me want to watch Fury Road again to get that experience before Furiosa. This is why Screen Crush is always the best 👌🏼💥

[@atlien1988]

Furiosa was amazing btw!!

[@ssofft]

I think Tom and Mel Gibson's characters are supposed to be the same max. The voices max hears in the beginning call him by his full name Max Rockatansky.

[@AndrewFlynnRamius]

Yeh

[@icevariable9600]

And remember the flash back to the little girl, his daughter.

[@Viglin123]

Mad Max 2 was the best. The Feral kid ended up as the leader of the survivors …unlikely but not impossible he becomes “Max”

[@notmephisto1375]

But Max has a vision of Toe Cutters death in Fury Road. That's not something feral kid could recall.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

George Miller has said in interviews that the boy from the road warrior isn't Max.

[@joseirimia]

It is ambiguous. Max pulls from the car in the beginning the furry vest the feral child was wearing in road warrior. Also there's speculation that immortan joe is toe cutter.

[@domoetker3967]

But "Breitaugen" Furiosa is good or?

[@austincarlson9270]

2 was not that good

[@AI_and_I_Lyrics]

Good to know sid the sloth can still find work.. He was good in that morgan movie..

[@brightstonepictures]

Great recap. We told another chapter from Max' life with HOPE AND GLORY - a fan made short film.

[@dealman3312]

Furiousa was the best mad max I’ve ever seen

[@joeyflan9000]

Your theory about max being the feral kid from road warrior is good.

[@pleaseandthankyou708]

When I watched the Furiosa trailer with my kids, one said "hmm, I hope the cgi is not as bad as it seems" and I had an Aquaman 2 flashback and felt true fear

[@Lamq555]

Nicholas Hoult is a treasure in Fury Road 🩶

[@UpcycleShoesKai]

Remember me....

[@kemillionaire2]

Thanks Ryan. I needed this

[@alaunushawk4727]

Love your videos Ryan, but Max in Fury Road is definitely not the feral kid. That kid went on the lead the escaped community, and in the beginning of Fury Road Max himself says he used to be a cop. So it's still the same Max from the previous three movies. Tom Hardy does perform the character in a much more gruff manner, but I think we can attribute that to a reflection of Max's psychological and spiritual deterioration, as a result of surviving the wasteland over an extended period of time.

[@michaelkautuara6927]

Fury road is a cinematic masterpiece.....one of the best films ive ever had the pleasure of watching and the best action film I've ever watched....cant wait for Furiosa these Namibian cinemas disappointing me though...so sad it wasn't also shot in our beautiful deserts... George Miller is the 🐐

[@zzzxxx76]

Oh what a day. What a lovely day! 💣

[@AyodejiOlusolaNetwork]

This video was super helpful in refreshing my memory on the Mad Max series. Can't wait for the next installment with Furiosa!

[@TheUltimateWriterNZ]

Chroming is also something people do in Australia - huffing it’s called elsewhere. So the Warboys are getting high momentarily when they do it.

[@SajarErbraTerof]

😮 Good to know. Thank for that insight.

[@lukewright9031]

Actually the theory about the feral kid growing up to be Mad Max was dismissed. Though it is awesome. George Miller insists this is the same Max from the previous movies and said something like "we did a 'James Bond' with the recasting". Oh and a Fun Fact: Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron may have clashed on set, but their stunt doubles got along just fine that they later got married.

[@John-zl5jz]

Feral kid sounds right who else would built the same car dress like him in a world wearing all black leather without water = death sentence and the car saying it’s a copy would of thought the rear max would of modified his car has the roads get covered in sand

[@yungsel]

Couldnt get thru those older movies and this vid was perfect! Furiosa on max now!

[@alexmarie33]

Great recap ! Thank you very much 😊

[@DD-ov2kp]

I like the theory of the Mute Boy being the second Max. I recall in another lore video indicating the date tattooed on Max, as more evidence the Mute Boy is Max.

[@02kendrick]

Great explanation thank you for making this video

[@alexspata]

I've watched the first 3 movies relatively late, but at least the first two hold so well to these days! You have to see them!

[@djcjr1x1]

Wow I missed the boomerang and music box. I'm fine with that theory.🤓

[@notmephisto1375]

And yet Max has a vision of Toe Cutters death so how do you explain that?

[@RickDwrecked]

The music box is definitely a callback, but it's not the same music box because it has a wooden base attached to it, and Max doesn't have a boomerang in the night-time scene they showed, it's a Kukri-style machete that he gets from the War Rig

[@djcjr1x1]

@@notmephisto1375 I don't remember that but Max could've vividly told the kid. Someone mentioned there's a tie in comic proving it's not the kid but I'm not sure it's canon.

[@sayurissanctuary6404]

I don't watch half the shows they review, just here for the Ryan and Dougster Show. 💪

[@notmephisto1375]

The first two movies are something else. They don't make movies like that anymore.

[@chucksmith9813]

​@RyanMichero I don't doubt it. May actually go back and check them out after this. I've found numerous things through their videos that I didn't watch before, the Monarch Legacy of Monsters show was a recent one.

[@beesleep23]

pretty sure that is a kukri not a boomerang. and besides the first film... every single one has been bookended as being an old story being retold. these are archetypal legends. road warrior was told from perspective of feral kid now much older / thunderdome was told from the people that ended up in sydney / fury road was wordburgers of the historymen.

[@michaelcarbajal.]

People always fail to mention that a big part of, if not all of the oceans have literally dried up and receded by Fury Road in the Mad Max time line.

[@notmephisto1375]

Prior to last week I had only seen Fury Road. I must say Mad Max 1 and The Road Warrior are fantastic. I think I appreciate them more than Fury Road! Also in terms of the timeline I'm pretty sure Fury Road is after Road Warrior but before Beyond the Thunderdome. Notice at the end of Road Warrior Max goes back to find the leader of the gas tribe's modified V8 after he had to blow up his own interceptor. Well in the following years he rebuilt that modified version to match his own. It was his way of clinging on to the past. Cut to Fury Road where he immediately loses it in the opening minutes. Not having seen Furiosa, I'm confused how that will play in given Furiosa said she was born in the green place, but she would have been born pre-war if she was more or less the same age as Max. Would love to know what other fans think.

[@GLCDragons]

i didn't even hear of this film until like a couple days ago. I'm finally pump for a movie in 2024.

[@Harzurner]

The mute boy is DEFINITELY Max

[@Thrashahoy6]

No. There was an interview with Quentin Tarantino on KZbin who suggested that it would have been best to continue the narrative of Mad Max were the Feral Child has become the Mad Max character. The whole discussion began because it was sacrilege to even think of recasting Mad Max without Mel Gibson. Which most people agree.

That feral kid, Will Poulter, grew up into Tom Hardy......truly apocalyptic timeline

[@matthewsams1038]

The one problem with that theory aboug max being the feral kid is, didnt he get flashbacks of max's family getting killed and their ghosts haunting him throughout the movie?

[@TheTotalRecap]

Are you laughing at my pain?

[@matthewhawkins9715]

The feral kid being Max is literally debunked in Mad Max 2 when the narrator is revealed to be the child and says at the end "I became leader of the Northern tribes." It's not him.

[@tomeik1421]

Btw … what a way to conserve what little water you have

[@strangemonkey90]

The one issue with this theory is the interceptor vehicle shown in fury road. It was destroyed in the 2nd film. There's no way the feral kid found another MFP interceptor and modified it to look more or less like Max's old one.

Loving the mute boy theory

[@baku2461]

Fury road was the first mad max film I saw and it was incredible. I very much enjoyed furiosa to the same level. You can't compare them side by side though as they are very different types of film. Fury road is a chase film and furiosa is a saga. And each are amazing in their own right.

[@jonfreeman9682]

I loved both but honestly Furiosa is way better. More action, crazier stunts, bigger baddies, better CGI, awesome story, perfect segue into Fury Road. Fans really should support this girl boss done right.

[@Thebibs]

Max is Max. He is not the Feral Kid, in Fury Road. You can even see his hinge/knee support on his left leg (from the other three films)

[@Aces.702]

That young boy becomes the new mad Max that's basically Tom Hardy's character in the new mad Max

[@HeroAntagonist]

As for a sequel to Fury Road, Theron has not been subtle on her experience with Hardy on Fury Road. Can't see her repeating the experience, unless a lot of cash thrown her way.

I dont think the ferral kid is the tom Max since in the end he states that he become chief of the northern tribe. Also I feel like the timeline inst straight since road warrior and thunderdome are stories/memories of the children who came across Max and in Fury Road its furiosa memory.

[@swinndaexample5581]

Somebody probably already said this but the theory of Max in Fury Road being Max from the originals is inaccurate. He’s not the mute boy because he does talk in Fury Road & during the Fury Road introduction, Max is kinda telling his story as it is during the original films. Nonetheless, I rock with Screen Crush because I’m on the rocket ship of theory right along with you guys! 🤙🏾

[@sandmanjr2k3]

Think homie couldnt learn English? Hmmmm?

[@swinndaexample5581]

@@sandmanjr2k3 nobody is arguing that the kid couldn’t learn to talk. However the introduction of Fury Road is a clear monologue of Max telling his story. Everything from , “I was a cop, I lost my family, my name is Max” it’s safe to say that Tom is Max from the originals or this is a retelling of the story. Instead of assuming that Tom Hardy’s “Max” is a grown version of the mute kid living the same exact story… but you are entitled to your opinion. 🤷🏾‍♂️
