This film is an extension of the Mad Max movies but one that extends far out into an eccentric rock and roll style and demands the attention of its viewers. Listen to my podcast on this handy player!

On the director front: George Miller is one amazing dude. His first big movie was Mad Max in 1979. That movie really kicks ass even to this day. It’s an apocalyptic vision that would soon become developed further and more wonderfully that audiences would have ever imagined. Let me just pause for a moment and list the many films he has directed up to now:
2015 Mad Max: Fury Road
2011 Happy Feet Two
2006 Happy Feet
1998 Babe: Pig in the City
1997 40,000 Years of Dreaming (TV Movie documentary)
1992 Lorenzo’s Oil
1987 The Witches of Eastwick
1985 Tina Turner: We Don’t Need Another Hero (Video short)
1985 Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
1983 Twilight Zone: The Movie (segment “Nightmare at 20, 000 Feet”)
1983 The Dismissal (TV Mini-Series) (1 episode)
– Episode #1.1 (1983) … (part one)
1981 The Road Warrior
1979 Mad Max
What range! “Babe: Pig in the City” to Mad Max: Fury Road. How are they related? Talk amongst yourselves.
So, now back to Mad Max: Fury Road. A tyrant has risen. He is the evil one in this film, denying the people water they need to to survive. As usual, Max our hero sets out to first escape and second destroy this evil ruler. What follows are my notes taken while watching it today. I hope they amuse.
Mad Max: Fury Road
George Miller film
Mad Max Tom Hardy
Obstacle course/Physical role
Evil leader, controls the water supply
It’s a long way from Starbucks
Wide open spanse of desert
Their rich delicacy is breast milk
They took his blood for water?
The electric guitar jamming fire
For being bled these guys are all in damn good shape
CGI combined with real stunts makes for an amazing show
Its him and the girls now. The misfits. They need each other.
“I live I die I live again.”
Drums are powerful.
Like a rock concert
You might call these tactics, assertive warfare
Jumping onto cars
Before they are martyrs, they dpray paint in their mouth
Here comes religion again
