Always seemed odd that they never made another Mad Max movie. Then again, that last one wasn't exactly a masterpiece (shudder). Of course,
The Road Warrior
was bad as well, but it was all kinds of fun. I guess by the time they got around to
Beyond Thunderdome
they'd lost whatever quirky mojo they had going for them since the original. We got a Peter Pan allegory, slapstick comedy, and Tina Turner. Here's hoping
Fury Road
gets back to its roots.
By the way, what happened to the Mad Max world? In the first one, society was obviously crumbling, but it still held up enough to employ cops and lawyers of one stripe or another. People had families, took vacations. But by the second, which wasn't set all that much later, things had completely broken down. And there are references to nukes, of course. So, what? Did something like Peak Oil hit, society went into decline before it got really bad, governments got desperate and nukes flew? Also, if fuel was such a valuable commodity, why was everyone driving around all the time?

Part of it is that its australia and there is a bit of australian culture involved in it. For a lot of australian history (especially early), the "outback" has been a really rough and tumble place, full of outlaws and lack of resources and hardscrabble struggle. So in the first one, Max lives on the coast where the majority of comfortable australian living exists. The idea seems still have some modicum of civilization in those areas where it was the most ingrained, (Mad Max) but then when he loses his connection to that civilization he heads into the outback/wastes.
Of course, the 3rd movie sorts of throws that for a loop a bit, but it also seems to travel far further forward in time, so maybe the idea is that the outback is becoming somewhat more civilized again? The article says one of the original producers of the series had died in an accident shortly before they made it, so everyones heart wasn't in it.
and of course, the implication is that the world fell in a resource war, but since australia isn't really the first target on "places to nuke" it managed to avoid the direct effect of that sort of war.

Tom Hardy on Mel Gibson "Mghshgh Arrrghmgm Shmrmrgrrgm"
Jobbers
2012-01-25 06:17:13 PM
Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a biatch knows story structure.
Also...
He cited "Road Warrior as his favorite of the films, since he liked how it was almost a silent film and "with the benefit of the first one, I think they made the film they wanted to make in the first place" and though "Beyond Thunderdome" is the least appreciated of the three, he didn't dismiss it, but he did acknowledge it went in a different direction after original producer Kennedy died in a helicopter crash before production and "George was really affected by it. It was an attempt to do something else, but I don't know that it knew what it wanted to do."
...this should not be one goddamned sentence. Don't try and force quotations into the 'flow' of a sentence if they have different voices, it's painful to read.

If you haven't seen Hardy in "Bronson" you really should rent it. It's a great movie. He's atotal nut in it and it's a good introduction to an actor, just like "Chopper" was a great intro for Eric Bana.

Being drunk doesn't turn you into a racist, but it certainly can cause you to state your true feelings on a subject that you'd never state publicly when you weren't impaired.

I always found not knowing why society collapsed to be part of the appeal of "The Road Warrior." It doesn't matter to the characters what happened, because they're now engaged in a struggle for survival, so why should it matter to the audience?

Seriously man, he's a talented actor. And Australian to boot. If you haven't seen it, check out Red Hill. It's streaming on Netflix.

2012-01-25 09:40:04 PM
ACtually, despite all the crazy Gibson gave us some good films, and is a talented actor.
I think it would be amazing if he reprised his role as an aged Max. Someone who is grizzled, tired of running, and is about to lay the guns down.
Or you could do an Unforgiven take on it. Max could have turned his axe into a plowshare but got called out of retirement...
I enjoyed the Year of Living Dangerously, the Bounty, Tequila Sunrise.

i think Tom Hardy is a very talented actor.
But...
the Mad Max franchise died with "Beyond the Blunderdome" .
To reboot it in the day and age of CGI with a number of the main icons from the first and second film gone like the Interceptor and Mad Mel himself, you are left with another Blunderstruck.
With Blunderhole, the Segio Leone tone of the Road Warrior was replaced with an almost "El Topo for kids" style camp, the Interceptor was gone and the character of the gyro Captain was addressed as if everyone had some kinda of amnesia..
While the Train bit had some real "John Ford" feel to it, it was to the Mad Max trilogy what Return of The Jedi was to Star Wars;
A poorly made cash grab cobbled together from bits and pieces of the other films.
So, if we learn anything from the film history of "extended trilogies", if the third one sucks, the fourth will suck more, be it a prequel, sequel, nyquil or whatever...
Just leave it alone. I'd rather see "Babe the Talking Vengeful Pig" than to have what memories Blunderdroll almost ruined crushed into the ground even further.

Oh the good ol' "alcohol just brings our true selves outside" bullshiat fallacy.
Alcohol has mind altering effects on the body.
Not to mention that "true self" bullshiat is some of the bullshiest bullshiat ever bullshat.
A man's character is defined by what he does, so whatever inside dark desires one may have, they are meaningless unless you act on them.
You're not found legally conscious to make decisions about sex and driving if you're drunk yet somehow Gibson's tirade was showing his "true self."
C'mooon.
I guess you actually like ugly fatties and it wasn't just the treshold debilitating effects of alcohol last Saturday night.
Get real.

I may be misremebering, but I'm pretty sure that the war has already happened and society has totally broken down before the start of the second film, with the survivors fighting over the remaining resource.
