Would this actually work?
I asked my dad.
He said probably.
>>71845121
Ask /o/
>>71845121
yes
those big fucks are the air intake for the fuel/air mixture that makes the engine go
what Max is doing is just spiking the incoming air to change the fuel/air ratio and make the engine work harder
though it's dangerous as fuck since you could make the engine work too hard and blow
Mad Max thread?
>>71845121
Yes it would work but it wouldn't be good for the engine long term.
>>71845227
Which, in fact, did happen at one point.
>>71845161
How big is your dad?
>>71845240
lmao what is this crap? looks like some 70's TV show
>>71845356
>He hasn't seen the original
>>71845290
did it blow or overheat?
>>71845321
He's a big guy
TELL ME ABOUT THE HUMUNGUS
WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?!
>>71845506
>>71845403
For you
>>71845240
Goose deserved better
>>71845121
It would have to be the correct mixture of nitromethane and alcohol to keep a proper fuel/air mixture.
But yes it could work
I still get confused about the setting in the first Mad Max
The world is obviously decaying but there's still clubs, diners, garages, ice cream shops etc, even a court of law
What happened in between 1 and 2? Because IIRC they're only a few years apart
Would this actually work?
>>71845700
I think the first one is supposed to be set "5 minutes" before shit hits the fan. The world is still intact, for the most part, but it's teetering on the edge of the setting of the second film.
>>71845700
Simple answer: the first movie had fuck all for a budget.
>>71845745
Forgot pictures
>>71845227
>those big fucks are the air intake
>though it's dangerous as fuck
I love you guys
>>71845700
Wasn't there a nuclear war at some point or was that between 2 and 3.
>>71845791
Apparently it was between 2 and 3.
The MM timeline is pretty loose but I believe 3-5 years pass between 1 and 2 during which the fuel shortage causes society to break down, mass looting, pillaging etc., with the small biker gangs evolving into larger bands of crazies.
>>71845918
While it was never made clear in the movies, the comics that followed Fury Road make canon that there was a nuclear war after part 1 and before part 2.
>>71845918
HE LOOKED AT ME!
>>71846187
>>71845918
Doesn't 2 open with shots of mushroom clouds?
>>71846279
It does, but it's implied it's all in a war between the US and the Eastern Power Blocs, of which Australia was presumably not involved with. They definitely get at least one nuke in 3, as Max has a geiger counter, waves it over a guy selling water and it goes crazy.
>>71845121
i dont know what exactly he is spitting in there but yeah probably.
NOS works pretty much the same way, it just enriches the air with some extra combustive fuel.
What were these things?
>>71846279
Nope, it opens to a shot of Max standing in a road with superimposed footage of fires raging, but not mushroom clouds.
>>71846473
>that blatantly obvious blue filter
Blew my fucking mind that they actually thought that was a good idea.
>>71846392
This is something I could never undestand, if Master was a midget genius, why did he speak like a retard?
>>71846536
He thinks better then he speaks, I guess. He's cunning and confident when he's got Blaster and clearly knew that by running the methane facility, he could get Aunty Entity to do what he wanted.
What I don't know is why did the kids rescue him? What did they need him for?
>>71846536
Forigner
>>71845700
The original was during a depression of sorts, along with wars for oil between Russia and the US. Sometime between 1 & 2, shit hit the fan, and the oceans disappeared somehow. Chronology of the film's is still up for question, however, the original is considered to be the first because it's the only normal one.
>>71846473
I thought it looked cool.
So fuck you anon.
>>71845700
I assume the 1st mad max is in a kind of great depression setting, pretty shit but not full post apocalyptic.
>>71846473
My theory:
They're hunter gatherers who live in the swamps by fishing, eating crows, and eating plants. They use stilts to get around because you don't want to be stuck in swampwater. They resemble the stilt walkers of france, they were herders and used stilts to get around the moors and swampy areas.
>>71845121
Would be bad for the carb filter, but would work.
>>71846531
Looked great in the theater, won't get the same effect on your nokia brick, fucktard.
>>71846473
people on stilts catching crows.
now you know and there is a little less mystique to the Mad Max universe.
happy now?
>>71846633
THE OCEANS DIDN'T DISSAPEAR YOU CUNT
FURY ROAD WAS A FUCKING SALT FLAT, NOT AN OCEAN.
>>71845700
It's implied society at large is rapidly breaking down, but MM1 is set by and large in the outback, so you don't really see too much of that outside of the understaffed police force and the biker gang terrorising the town.
>>71846665
Maybe if you weren't too stupid to notice the obvious shine on everyone's skin and every bit of metal during those "night" scenes you would have noticed it too you fucking fetus.
>>71845290
>>71845227
>>71845227
Go look at the behind the scenes for this movie.
Regardless of what your opinion of the movie is, the car guys that worked on this were ridiculous.
One dude payed out of his own money to make sure Immortan Joe's flagship ride really had two engines when the studio just wanted to do 1 + a dummy.
2 > 4 > 1 > 3
>>71845506
Because originally it going to beGoose
>>71845506
He was involved in a horrible motorbike crash and his best friend took off into the desert. His workforce was falling apart and he lost all faith in obeying the law, and paired with his disfigurement he decided to shun what was left of society
>there are a lot of police cars and gear in Humungus' crew
>Humungus is Goose
>>71846874
No.
>>71846684
Maybe it didn't disappear, but it did shrink a few 100 meters, and created thousands of miles of ocean floor turned deserts.
>>71846765
>One dude payed out of his own money to make sure Immortan Joe's flagship ride really had two engines when the studio just wanted to do 1 + a dummy.
What... why? Did he take the car after movie or what?
>>71846874
goose would never abandon his bike
What do you mean "would"? People actually do this. It's crazy as fuck though.
>>71846948
for people like me that appreciate the detail and technical aspects of the movie i guess.
>>71846948
Probably just loved the movie and working on it, and felt as if it had to be real, all of it. Or at least what's possible without putting cast in highly dangerous situations.
>>71846684
>ride 160 days and not find anything
A nuclear war on the other side of the planet destroyed the oceans. There were resource wars and water wars.
>>71846849
>>71846874
Humungus could be this guy
>Big guy
>Strong leader
>Former police in his gang
>Smith and Wesson pistol could easily have been his back in the MFP days
Throw in that he could have suffered a horrible facial injury, lost a bit of weight in the wasteland and gathered up some of his former men and others thinking 'fuck this' and gone out by themselves
I thought Fury Road was alright but not something I would rewatch, I haven't rewatched since I saw it during it's theatrical run and now I can't remember what he's doing in the op.
TL;DR whats he doing?
>>71846783
Why does everyone rate 2 so much?
1 > 4 > 2 > 3
>the wall of speakers on the Doof Wagon was actually real and they all worked
>and the flamethrower guitar was also real and worked
Like how much work went into that movie
>>71846948
some people just love building something great?
>>71847053
because its the most influential? The universe, costumes, vehicles and the final chase...
1 was just a bikeersploitation flick with some above average creative ideas.
4 is 2 on speed
3 is shit
2 is the most important one.
>>71846948
I knew a guy who did bikes for films, got really annoyed when the films got it wrong and often tried to pay out of pocket to fix shit.
Him and a lot of his mates were pissed that at the end of Saving Private Ryan the "German" Bike at the end is clearly Russian.
The industry of getting paid to rent bikes and cars for movies is dying out because re-enactors now do it for free because they love it and will make sure everthing is correct out of pride.
>There are people in this thread RIGHT NOW that think Fury Road wasn't the GOAT action film of the 21st century.
>>71846473
Mutant flamingos
>>71847053
>Why does everyone rate 2 so much?
It's near-perfect all across the board, plus it's probably the most influential piece of post-apocalyptic media of all time. If you see a TV show, a movie or a video game set in a world after the end, it'll very often take at least something from the Road Warrior.
>>71847147
But the characters are so shit. Everyone inside the refinery except the mechanics. That general, that girl with the stupid hair the guy who is like something out of Status Quo or something, the pilot.
3 had better characters (only true of Bartertown), just a shit plot.
>>71847017
>nuclear war evaporating the entirety of earth's water resources, including the oceans
I like the world they've built, but this is stretching it pretty fucking thin.
>>71847156
>Mfw I hear somebody didn't like it
>>71847259
>Max
>Humongous
>speaker of Humongous
>Crazy biker with his personal fucboi
>gyrocaptain
it had good memorable characters.
>>71847259
But the people in the refinery are just regular people trying to live their lives, they're not supposed to be terribly interesting
But Max, Wez, the Gyro Captain, the Humungus and his gang are all great characters and they're the ones you remember, as they're more important to the plot anyway and keep the story going.
>>71845592
its the small things that make me enjoy le chan
>>71845700
1 is just a docudrama about life in Australia. 2 and 3 were all fantasy.
>People speculating on who Humungus is
Hasn't miller said he is an ex army officer, I mean in the film he looks at a photo of him and his wife and he is in uniform.
>>71847156
There's 84 1/2 more years left of this century. I bet a better one will come along.
>>71847629
I know, what he has said is like someone watching Birth of a Nation when it first came out and thinking that it would be the best film of the century...
Oh
>>71847626
It's never been confirmed who's in the photo, although I suppose the obvious answer would be him. He's got a German Totenkopf skull and bones, too, which is pretty interesting. You can see a few guys in his gang who've got military fatigues, too.
Mad Max
The world is dealing with an oil shortage/economic crisis. Not terrible but things are bad.
Mad Max 2
Takes place 5-10 years after Mad Max where the oil has effectively run out and war has taken place to secure the remaining resource. World War 3 now balloons into nuclear war which wipes out most of the world.
Mad Max 3
5-10 years after Mad Max 2 in which the world is recovering from World War 3 and those who survive live on the fringes as a pre industrial people both unaware and aware of what happened in the before times.
There's your story.
"Have you done this before?"
"Mad Max, The Fury Road awaits"
Jesus, why did they need to include this line?
>>71845121
yes, as long as theres enough air mixing with the fuel
Why didn't Humanity die out if the Oceans dried up?
>>71845227
It's also a good way to fuck your engine up by overheating it.
>>71847758
It rains in 2, don't know the significance of that.
>>71845700
>that gril with the eyepatch
top tier apocalypse waifu, what a lucky guy
>>71846666
nice quads
Virginia Hey is distractingly fit in 2
>>71846392
The radiation could have been from fallout, which can travel global distances due to weather (particularly if there were alot of nukes set off at once)
Australia may or may not have been hit
>>71846619
I wanna know what love is?
>>71847055
>>71846765
Imagine the fun working on that set, building all those ridiculous cars, driving them around, playing some retarded loud music on that wall of speakers.
I should find a job in the industry.
>>71848160
I'd like to think some people got to keep some of those nutty cars so they could race them around the outback
I know I would
>>71847758
THE OCEANS DIDN'T DRY UP
THEY RECEDED BY A FEW MILES
>>71847156
It's too early to say, but it was certainly refreshing to watch an action movie that wasn't a complete CGI shitshow, practical effects really make all the difference. And yes I realize there was some digital manipulation but they were actually out there in real cars in the real desert and not just standing around in front of green screens
I Want a motorcycle helmet like that villain who's face you never see in 2
>>71848198
The war rig thing was absolutely ridiculous, with those 2 supercharged engines and ultra comfy interior. Ditch the trailer and driving this fucker around would never get old.

Like this, I just worry about the lack of chin protection.
>>71848297
This guy?
>>71848394
Yeah, I want something like that.
>>71847408
Aye. You could probably nuke the Atlantic a thousand times and you'd still have 95%+ of the water left.
>>71848817
Thats not how that works, thats not even close to how that works.
>>71848885
Yeah probably, I don't know anything about nukes or science.
>>71847221
the best one
>>71848384
Why do the women on Humongous' side simply vanish? There was another with pink hair if I recall correctly.
>>71847147
So you think 2 is the best but only because all the others are shit. Do you even like the mad max franchise? Why are you here
>>71849734
Well we do see a few members of Humungus' gang sadly driving away at the end of Road Warrior, maybe the rest of the gang didn't take part and just walked away after he died
