A gang of marauders tear-arsing after the car cause it roll and it ends up a write-off fit for the pound. The first car crashĪs well as the close-up of the engine fan belt whirling around, a shot directly referencing MM2, the first pursuit sequence and gnarly car crash is reminiscent of how Rockatansky’s prized V-8 came a cropper in the sequel.
All that remains are memories…” It’s fair to say, MM 2’s opening montage is still the best in the series. That’s Mad Max lingo for petrol/gas.įR’s intro essentially reworks Mad Max 2’s beautifully done opener, minus the old newsreel footage and old man’s poetic speech. Among them, somebody is heard using the word “guzzaline”. In between Max’s narration detailing his former life as a cop and his tragic past, inserted just in case any newbies haven’t seen the original trilogy and want the CliffsNotes version of the mythology, we hear a sound montage of voices detailing the collapse of the world.
MM:FR begins with Max’s voice-over informing the audience his day-to-day life roaming the wasteland is all “fire and blood”. With Fury Road out now on Amazon Prime Video, we rev up our geeky engines and look back at all the references made by Miller to Mad Max’s past. To quote Main Force Patrol mechanic, Barry, in Mad Max (1979), when he’s showing off the new all-black V-8 Inceptor to Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) and Jim Goose (Steve Bisley), explaining how he put the gas guzzler together, the director took “a piece here and a piece there”.
What is Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) exactly? Is it a shady reboot or a proper sequel? It’s best to think of George Miller’s film as neither, and more a high-octane hybrid vehicle built from the parts of the original trilogy.
