nlacy 692 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I hope I'm not disappointed. Mad Max and The Road Warrior are classics. Though I could do without Beyond Thunderdome. Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akX3Is3qBpw#t=148 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Let's try this. I hope the movie is better than the trailer. Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate modern movies with 2 hours of explosions and no plot or character development... Edited July 27, 2014 by Darth Saigus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mancat 2,368 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 The dubbed versions of Mad Max/Thunderdome are the weirdest thing ever. I guess someone decided Aussie accents were too hard to understand. Ironically the only place I've ever seen them on TV is in Canada. Always seen the "genuine" versions on American TV. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hollyweird does not want to pay the real artists, the writers. Much cheaper to re-interperit the existing stories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macbeau 902 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 In the original trilogy, there is: Mad Max (pre-apocalypse - low budget - where his wife and daughter are killer by the bikers) and Road Warrior (post-apocalypse - better budget - where he is just looking for gas and supplies and saves the good preppers from the marauders) Thunderdome is crap. (continued post-apocalyptic - big budget - Just a platform for Tina Turner to act and sell records. Story sucked.) Macbeau.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 This is weird, I watched the Road Warrior today on cable. I "kinda liked" them all, but in the Road Warrior, I really liked the little kid with long hair that growled at the geek in the gyro copter, and Tina was cool, back then, I would bumped that if I'd had a chance, the problem is, I didn't get the chance, but she'd a loved it. Problem with stuff now a days is that NONE of the "writers" in HollyWierd have any imagination, at least enough to write their own material. I'm just wondering when these dumb asses will do a remake of the Dr. Fibes movies, now those, I saw everyone made and really liked them, twisted and sick. I want some of those little silver balls that fly thru the air and rip your ass into shreds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is also producer on Mad Max 2015 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004306/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Ill be watching this one fore sure. It looks promising! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nipper2u 101 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Here are two of my favorites from Mad Max (1979): "I am the Nightrider. I'm a fuel injected suicide machine. I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller! I'm the Nightrider, baby..." [The Kid is handcuffed to a car that's about to explode] Max: The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go. [The hacksaw is dropped next to The Kid, and Max limps off] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nlacy 692 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 That is a pretty badass scene. Spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't seen the movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spartacus 1,619 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 . For some reason this scene was one of the most memorable for me in Mad Max 2. Probably because it's friggin hilarious! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were an excellant series of movies. I think that there were three of them total. The "silver ball" that flew thru the air was the movie series Phantasm, mostly noted for the black 'Cuda. There are 4 movies of it, and a fifth is in the works. Another less well known movie is Chamber Of Horrors. It takes place/associated with a wax museum. 1964 or so. It's a good flick. In the history of mankind, there are only 7 stories, when you get down to the root of them. Boy meets girl they marry, happily ever after. Boy meets girl and they split up, etc. You can look it up. Some filler is good, some sucks. But it's all the same in the end. All stories in the history of mankind are based on these premises. There are no new stories to tell, just different twists to the same old same old. I've always told anyone that I knew - the key to getting rich in America is to be abe to tell a story. Book, Movie, whatever. Same format, just juicy details. and you can make your own mint. Learn to tell a story well, and you will be a millionaire. I wish I was that smart.
