Yeah, it's set in Australia. All four films are supposed to be legends told about the lawless years after the collapse of society by our descendants years later. Max is a former police officer who lived through the period, and became this mythical hero character. Miller once described the films as sort of like the bible of the wasteland. In the first film society is still just holding on, but it's on the edge. Each following film shows a world gone progressively more crazy.

In the area where he worked there were a lot of street races so he treated a lot of car crash victims which is what gave him the inspiration for Mad Max. This scene really highlights his past as a doctor.

Steven Soderbehrg when asked about story boarding referenced this movie with an amazing quote. "No. The ability to stage well is a skill and a talent that I value above almost everything else. And I say that because there are people who do it better than I’ll ever be able to do it after 40 years of active study. I just watched Mad Max: Fury Road again last week, and I tell you I couldn’t direct 30 seconds of that. I’d put a gun in my mouth. I don’t understand how [George Miller] does that, I really don’t, and it’s my job to understand it. I don’t understand two things: I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead. I could almost see that’s kind of possible until the polecat sequence, and then I give up. We are talking about the ability in three dimensions to break a sequence into a series of shots in which no matter how fast you’re cutting, you know where you are geographically. And each one is a real shot where a lot of things had to go right. I’m going to keep trying; I’m not going to keep trying in the sense that I’m going to volunteer to direct the next Mad Max movie. I’m going to keep trying in the sense that when I have sequences that demand a certain level of sophistication in terms of their visual staging, I’m going to try and watch the people who do it really well and see if I can climb inside their heads enough to think like that. But he’s off the chart. I guarantee that the handful of people who are even in range of that, when they saw Fury Road, had blood squirting out of their eyes. The thing with George Miller, it’s not just that, he does everything really well. The scripts are great, the performances are great, the ideas are great. He’s exceptional. I met him once for about 30 seconds at the Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles the year of Fury Road. But you don’t want to say that stuff to somebody’s face; it’s embarrassing."

Hence, flame-thrower guitar 2, the director saw the prop flame-guitar they built for the role, giggled, and demanded they play it. when the prop master explained it was just a prop, Miller made him put pick-ups in it so it could actually be played (although apparently not well) because he is a mad lad.

Just a couple of months ago, a new lengthy oral history book on the making of this movie came out (Blood, Sweat, and Chrome: The Wild and True Making of Mad Max: Fury Road) and I just finished reading it a week or so ago (...because I requested this movie on another channel!). Really great explanation of how much incredible work went into doing almost all of the stunts and action for real in the Namib desert. It also covers the movie's long, long genesis from the 1990s (when Gibson was going to star) through to the early 2000s (Heath Ledger) and finally into the 2010s (Hardy was cast years before his star-making roles in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, on the strength of his breakout performance in 2008's Bronson). It's just incredible how everything that made the movie into an ordeal that took almost 20 years from idea to finished film turned out for the best. Also, writer/director George Miller, who created the series with his debut back in 1979, is Australian. They were going to shoot the film in Broken Hill, Australia, where the second movie, The Road Warrior, was filmed, but it rained for the first time in like 200 years and the entire valley went from desert to lush greenery right before they were about to start filming. Miller is famous not just for Mad Max, but also the equally intense...Happy Feet (director) and Babe movies (producer, then director). His new movie is coming out this year, and then he's supposed to work on a prequel to Fury Road about Furiosa, with Anya Taylor-Joy playing the younger version of the character...if it doesn't take two decades to make.

Max is originally a highway patrol enforcement officer that tries keep his family safe during a global gas crisis that leads to global war. Society breaks down, friends and his career are taken from him. He loses his family to road bandits. He exacts revenge and becomes vagabond dealing death to those would cross him. At this time the world has ended, water is rare, fuel is even rarer and death is cheap and brutal. At this point in time Max occasionally helping the helpless while dealing with his ever growing psychosis . The reluctant hero is a recurring theme in the Road Warrior and Beyond Thunder-dome. First film takes place months before ww3 , second film at least 5 to 10 years after. The third film at least 20 years after ww3. This one is rather vague.

In reality, it's only been like 30-40 years since Immortan Joe, and the other Rulers were Soldiers before the apocalypse(as per the prequel comic). Max was also alive prior to the apocalypse, but using his age as a guide doesn't really work, as he's close to the same age in this movie as he is in the first movie which takes place pre-apocalypse. The best way to think of him is as a mythic figure, and we are witnessing the stories told about him, so the timeline doesn't always make sense.

Great reaction (as always). Now let's go with all the other parts. Mad max 1 was miller's first movie. Mad max 2 was imo the best (until this one here came around and was a surprise hit) Edit: the lore in itself is kinda fast and loose with mad max. It's best to see these movies as the visualization of a story told on a campfire about a mystical figure called max. So you don't necessarily need to see them in order. First one is a bmovie (with shocking long stretches of boredom), but still fun to watch. Second is action and maybe a bit of horror (by how blatantly violent it is) Third is a bit too tame in some ways (very low death toll) but also in some ways one of the craziest

In a word: Epic. George Miller is so vastly underrated as a pure visceral filmmaker and his dystopian visionary sci-fi is truly haunting/beautiful/disturbing. The fact it took nearly 30 yrs for another chapter and then go way beyond expectations and score Oscars for its state-of-the-art sound & vision - jaw dropping to say the least. Yes all those stunts are practical with CGI blended perfectly to enhance the violence and action. Interesting that Hardy was being toted as the hero when pretty much its Theron's film in spite of his character's name in the title. She really gives another level performance here (and Hardy's no slouch). While there was rumor that they didn't get along only enhances their dynamic onscreen IMO. I knew you'd dig this (um yeah that 'shredder' is so beyond iconic - LOL) You so need to see the original trilogy (if at least the 1st 2 w/Gibson; trust me they're awesome too). Great fun reactions as always guys! And yes set and shot in Australia (Miller is a native born son).

Love this film. We found some misogynistic blogs talking sh*t about it and calling it “feminist propaganda in the form of an action movie” so you know we HAD TO go watch it in the cinema. I later bought the DVD and have watched it several times. I love it. I really enjoy it as a cinematic experience, love the acting, the soundtrack, sound and image. And its messages too; taking care of the environment and leaving a better future for next generations, being agains buying/renting human beings for s3x/procreation (basically against prostitution and surrogacy).

Thing is, it kinda IS overtly feminist - it IS part of the text - but it does it in a way that isn't just declarative but is infused into the worldbuilding. Also, because they had a nontraditional script format where they storyboarded it like a cartoon or comic rather than wrote it, a lot of the character work with the War Boys and the Wives was based on workshops done with outside advisers during the development process. The Warboys all had a ex-military guy who ran drills with them so they'd act like soldiers and observe military style discipline, especially towards Immortan Joe, but the Wives worked with Eve Ensler, writer of The Vagina Monologues and a feminist activist, so the elements of honour culture, forced marriage and abuse have an authentic bedrock that prevents it feeling schlocky or inappropriate. It's one of the best written action films of the new century.

Fun fact. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron did not get along during the shooting of the movie (it was a difficult production and they had no idea the movie was going to turn out so well). However, their stunt doubles fell in love while filming the fight scene between Max and Furiosa, and by the time Fury Road actually released, they had already gotten engaged and had a baby.

The story in this film is simple but it's loaded to the brim with subtext. This film was literally designed to be picked apart. Most shots contain some more or less hidden details about the world we're seeing, the lines are far and few between but more is said about the characters through their actions, they all have their own story arcs. This film is packed and that's exactly what happens when a film takes so many years to develop, it's a far cry from just being a simple action movie.

People talk about the action and rightly so, but for me this is expert minimalism in film. The characters say almost nothing, but every ounce of story you get is told by characters.

I’m going to be repeating what many others have already said here, but: 1. Re: the Australian accents, the director, George Miller, is Australian, and made the original trilogy in Australia, almost entirely with Australian actors (this one was shot in Namibia). 2. The original trilogy was shot on low budgets, entirely with practical effects … and the production design and stunt work are jaw-dropping. This film merely builds on that template. You should absolutely watch all of the films. 3. Though you may not realize it, virtually all post-apocalyptic / mutant biker gang imagery since the 1980s has borrowed from the Mad Max films. They’re incredibly influential.
