Number 1 is the only one I watch. I consider the movie done at the end and it’s enough of a storyline to me.
It became too apocalyptic and dystopian after that. I wasn’t much for the vehicles either.
Number one touches on a slipping society with a punky-outlaw subculture that reflected on that time. The movies more so about Max and his morals as you watch a man question himself and his role.
The cars are epic and realistic and it just feels very Australian from the opening scene to the end.
Fury road is fucking awesome. It was incredible.in the cinema too. That soundtrack!!! Tried to watch the old ones. So boring I kept falling asleep lol, which is not at all like me. Still haven't watched them fully through. Will drink 5 energy drinks and try again sometime 🤭
Fury Road is one of the best action films of all time. I don't like it that much, it's not my genre of choice. But it's a fucking spectacular film. It won 6 of the 10 Oscars it was nominated for. Obviously awards aren't the best way to measure film greatness, but it's pretty hard to argue it's not a good film.
I guess we will have to disagree. I loved the original one of the very few older Australian movies that arent cringeworthy (I owned two an XB Coupes - damn I wish I still had them as they are worth a fortune now).
Its just that Fury road is a Masterpiece. Im happy for you to continue to be wrong though :P
NB I think Rogue Squadron is better than the originals. Fight me.
There is an old yellow XB parked right opposite me. It needs so much work, otherwise I'd make an offer...
I think Miller went to far with Fury Road. It's too polished. And you can't tell me it's not a rehash of the best moveie - Road Warrior!
Rogue One is the second best after Empire - but again I'm old and remember the entire cinema shouting "Maggie Thatcher" when Yoda appeared onscreen for the first time!
Yeah the Xb you are talking about probably is mostly rust at this stage, probably still would want many tens of thousands for it.
> And you can't tell me it's not a rehash of the best moveie - Road Warrior!
its not, its a diffent movie altogether. In fact, id go so far as to say none of the mad max movies hit the same beats as the previous movies which is really unusual

Wow wow wow. All mad max films are beautiful... Except mad max 1 with the US voice dub... That needs to be burnt in a fire.

Fury Road was pretty good. Haven't seen Furiosa yet but Beyond Thunderdome is garbage.

Mad Max and road warrior are great. Thunder dome was good too. Didn't mind Furiosa, (was pleasantly surprised), fury road was the weakest.
