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...

Never sat down and watched the originals, so from an unbiased point of view, I think it looks pretty decent.

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.

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.)

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.

He is also producer on Mad Max 2015

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]

Dude, you have a few movies mixed up. Dr. Phibes was portrayed by Vincent Price. 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.
