Mad Max: Fury Road - Group Reaction 

The editor Margaret Sixel (the director's wife), was given over 480 hours of footage to work with! Watching 8 hours a day, it's two months just to watch once!! The final edit ran for 120 minutes and had 2700 individual shots. Just incredible! She won the Oscar for it!

Fun fact: When the man who made the flamethrower guitar presented it to George Miller it was simply a prop, it could shoot the flames but couldn’t be played, the first thing George asked was “does it work?” Meaning if it could be played. So the prop maker had to rework the guitar to actually be able to be played AND shoot flames. The guy playing it is actually playing the guitar while strapped to the front of that truck

The idea behind Mad Max (at-least from the 2nd movie onward) is that he is this wanderer who keeps getting mixed-up in other people's stories, and so his story is remembered through his involvment in other people's.

An average reactor witnessing Nux character arc 11:19 "I hate you!" 22:48 "Tree thing" 28:06 "Awww" 34:58 "He can survive that!"

Director George Miller qualified as a medical doctor and saw the traumatic affect of vehicle collisions while a resident. He fed that horror into the Mad Max films.

I just want to add that when the old women were approached about their characters and what they were going to be doing, the seed lady wanted to do as much of her own stunt-work as possible because she knew she would never be given that kind of chance again.

The fact that every vehicle in this movie was a real, drivable vehicle is wild (also I think it puts certain other car-themed action franchises to shame). I remember checking the Rotten Tomatoes score for this the day it came out and it was 99%; -- my interest went from zero to must-see-in-theaters and I have never regretted it.

Nux is one of the best supporting characters of the last decade. His character arc in the movie is better than most films protagonist's character arc.

“Who let motorheads run the apocalypse?” *wheezing laughter*

I will never get over Nux's final "Witness Me". Gives me chillssss

What I love about this movie is that it has a lot of thematic depth, but also like, a lot of surface level fun so that everyone can enjoy it. You could do an academic deep dive into what it all means and come out with SO MUCH, but you can also just like, enjoy the absolute absurd, colourful, high octane beauty of Man Playing Flaming Electric Guitar During Giant Truck Battles.

I just love the fact that the guitarist’s canon title is “The Doof Warrior”

Never seen Rana straight up squirm so much throughout a movie. Five minutes in, "I can't take this anymore!!" Filmed in Namibia. 90% practical effects. A masterpiece.

Furiosa: A top-notch strong female character, right up there with Ellen Ripley and Clarise Starling.

I live for Rana's reactions. Two things to keep in mind regarding Mad Max movies: First, the Mad Max films take place in a world that has been driven insane. The apocalypse broke EVERYONE. Nobody is in their right mind. That's why everything seems completely upside-down to us. Second, Australia has a car culture the way the United States has a gun culture. The crazy post-apoc survivalists hoard custom cars, not guns. Note how cars are the weapon of choice, not guns. Crazy over-the-top action sequences are chase sequences, not shoot-outs.

1) this was the most entertaining reaction .. Rana's face the entire time. 😳 2) Immortan Joe was played by the same guy who was the big bad from the original Mad Max made in 1979 3) the War Rig's engines kept dying in the desert heat.. so they called the company my brother worked for to have engines built that could actually take it. As a result I have seen the blueprints for the War Rig.. it's crazy.

Watching this in the theater was a whole experience, it's like watching Interstellar or Dune on the big screen the first time.

"Who let Motorhead run the apocalypse?" That broke me, I can't stop laughing!

"By my deeds, I honor him... The V8..." One of my favorite scenes/lines in filmography. It's says so much with so few words.

I think Splendid is the real hero of the movie. You only get a few lines of it but when she goes under you can hear the other wives going "she set up this whole thing" and "she's the one who taught us we are not things".

Man this movie goes so Hard, it hypes me up just as much now as the first time I saw it.

Rana and Spidey were going through it this whole movie. They had my stress level up and I've seen this movie several times.🤣

the hand gesture they do while "praying" is supposed to imitate a V8 engine :D

"Mad Max: Fury Road" is basically the "DOOM:Eternal" of films/games that come along, and while they may be only a few years old, become IMMEDIATE top-tier "How-to's" for their respective mediums (and obviously genre, in some situations) that are taught in film and game design. The amount of times both of those have come up in my career as a Game Designer but with some experience in Film is ENDLESS...and while some might sneer until they've actually watched Fury Road, or played DOOM:Eternal, it becomes IMMEDIATELY clear as a student of those disciplines, as you mentioned :)

Fury Road is like the Dark Souls of RU-vid reaction editing. It's 120 minutes of nonstop action condensed into 25.

THIS IS HOW YOU EDIT MOVIE REACTIONS! Cut out dead air in sentences and scenes to reduce the running time but keep the context and story intact! I see so many reactors who just cut out answers to questions or questions to answers, destroy plot context with aggressive cuts, and show facial reactions to scenes we can't even see. So many reactors and editors really don't know what their job is supposed to be: not just staying inside the fair use timer but also providing clear context so viewers can enjoy the stories and the reactions.

Fun personal fact (tiny brag): My friends Dad was one of the stunt coordinators for this, and my friend performed some of the stunts and played one of the Warboys.

I like how the first 1/2 of the movie "Cmon kill this guy already!" then at the end "He could survive that! He can survive!"

the doof warrior( flaming guitar guy) was like an army's drummer boy, coordinating the vehicles directing attacks and relying information all with auditory and visual signals, because they don't have radios of anything

WITNESS MEEEEEE!!!!!! I LOVE this fucking movie.

I absolutely love that what was probably one of the coolest moments of the movie, Max absolutely fucking up the bullet farmer, happens completely off screen. You see an explosion in the distance, Max comes back covered in other people's blood, and it is just never a big deal!

I love how no matter what part u skip to in the reaction, you hear Rana screaming😂😂

I just remember being completely engrossed in this movie from start to finish. Completely and stressfully immersed. And it’s literally just a video game side-mission of “escort group from A, to B, to A again.” It proves that super complex stories are not necessarily what makes movies great.

46:00- as a film student, the answer is yes. I also love hove this movie really expresses the “Mad” part of Mad Max.

The quickness in which max remembered the sequence and started up the rig, that shit still impresses me

I never saw any of the other Mad Max movies, but I LOVED the energy of this one. The Energy stays HIGH and was one of the most entertaining movies of the year.

I watched this movie when I was pregnant and my baby was going wild with all the sounds and stuff lol I thought I was going to go into labor

I love that everyone, despite 100% rooting for team wives, also doesn't want guitar guy hurt. Guitar guy just wants to play his guitar. Guitar guy never hurt nobody. Guitar guy is true neutral, plus unadulterated awesome.

There are only a handful of movie theater experiences that stick with me (this, Hereditary, and Endgame)

If there was one movie I wish I could see again for the first time….this is it. Saw it in theaters the night it came out….I left sweating and ready to watch it again. God Fury Road is a masterpiece…

OH WHAT A FILM! WHAT A LOVELY FILM!

nerds: "waaah waaah it's called Mad Max, but it's not about Max, it's all about Furiosa..." George Miller: "So anyway, my next movie is called Furiosa."

Rana: “what? What? WHAT?! WHAT IS HAPPENING WHAT IS THIS MOVIE?!” 😂

At 18:50 when Angharad falls, I think that's Rana's rawest scream I've heard yet.

This movie should have won Best Picture at the Oscars the following year it was made. This was AMAZING to watch in the theatres. Exhilarating, jaw dropping. Great reaction! Rana's reaction was as entertaining as the movie :D

i thought this looked like the dumbest film imaginable when it was coming out. finally decided to give it a try in 2019 and it’s now in my top 5 films of all time. i’ll forever regret not seeing this in the theater and i’ve definitely learned my lesson on judging films before i really know anything about them. i’ll be hunting down the earliest screening possible to see the prequel!

Don't worry, Rana, I was fifty when it came out, still alive, and I saw it ten times in the theater. It's rejuvenating! :-D

For anyone wondering, 2 prequels are confirmed! One for Furiosa and one for Max himself

Glad rana and spidey got to experience this

They do explain the Crow people. That WAS the old Green Place.

One of my favorite things about the night sequence in this movie is that it's one of the few instances of day for night actually looking good. The entire sequence was filmed during the day, but color corrected to look like nighttime. Usually that looks like shit in a lot of movies, but it actually looks perfect here.

The ending still makes me *cry* because of the music and shots.

One of those rare movies you could watch multiple times without getting bored of

My favorite funny moment in an action film ever *"AHH MEDIOCRE!"*

This movie will probably be the closest thing we get to a good borderlands movie. The plot is basically the same too, Crazy bandit/psychos, that have crazy chopshop vehicles. AND their goal turns out to be disappointment

one of my favorite things about this movie is how things aren't spelled out for you. in order for you to understand the world you have to pay attention. but everything also makes sense if you do. something else interesting is that the way they made this film was by drawing every frame out. they made it so that it could be a silent movie & still make sense.

Really enjoy watching/rewatching things with The Normies. It really feels like checking things out with my friends(most of us are unable to get together often, life getting all in the way)

In 1906, Alfred Henry Lewis stated, “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.” Welcome to the coming Mad Max world.

JunkieXL should have won an Oscar for the musical score to this film, it is EPIC!

fury road is epic!! thanks for the reaction video, very nice talk after the movie! "how much action do you want?" - "Yes."

Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture but won for: Best Sound Editing Best Costume Design Best Production Design Best Film Editing Best Makeup Best Sound Mixing.

I highly recommend you watch “The Road Warrior “. All the of the original Mad Max are great but the second one is one of the best action movies of the 80’s.

Immortal Joe is played by same actor who played Toecutter in original Mad Max, Hugh Keays-Byrne

I LOVE this movie because it really just does reflect real life. Selfish awful toxic powerful monstrous men ruling a wasteland and STILL wasting all their resources instead of sharing it with everyone, alongside young men brainwashed into thinking they're dying for a cause when in fact they're just being used as fodder. Then you have the lesson that you really can't just run from them, you can't find a better world, you have to fix the one you have. Then you get that wonderful ending/beginning where the power is stripped from the horrible, wasteful monsters and ostensibly used to build something better.

Rana's reactions are amazing 🤣

Best action movie of the last ~20 years. Amazing soundtrack. Yes, the plot is basic, but the performances from the actors are really strong. Some of the stuntwork that they did in the movie was absolutely insane.

This might be my favorite action movie of all time. It’s just so raw, intricately crafted if I were to ever direct action movies this would be my inspiration.

I saw this opening day. And then the following day just to make sure that I wasn't crazy and the film really was as great as I'd imagined. Then saw it again a week or two later just for pure enjoyment. Glorious IMAX 2D for the effing win!

ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER IN TERMS OF ACTION AND PRACTICAL EFFECTS

This is my favorite movie everrrr! Glad you enjoyed it!

Furiosa was such a breakout that I'm excited about the prequel and my interest is piqued to see what Anya Taylor-Joy brings to the role. This world is so damn cool.

Lmfao the eye zoom in. Glad y’all had a blast watching this bonkers movie.

"mediocore" // behind the scenes production on this film sound like a nightmare but the film is a masterpiece

Fun fact: When Aragorn kicks the orc's helmet, he actually broke his toe. The yell he makes is real and they left that take in.

not only does this film have amazing editing, but the sound design is on different level. watching this in a theatre felt like i was at a symphony.

The new Mad Max spinoff/prequel comes out next year , called "Furiosa". Anya Taylor-Joy is playing young Furiosa. The film is also starring Chris Hemsworth & Yahya Abdul-Mateen

As soon as I saw the thumbnail...."Oh yeah. Rama's going to lose her shit"

One thing that I love about Fury Road is how everything informs the world building and carries meaning and information. As an example, the soundtrack during the chase scene through the canyon where Furiosa and Max first work together as a team is called "Brothers in Arms", and is meant to just further sell the fact that these are two very capable people who are just falling into sync with each other and fighting together. It's an absolute banger of a track and one of my favorites from the movie. If you haven't watched the original three films I'd definitely recommend doing so sometime, whether it be on the channel or just in your own free time. The very first one is set right before/as the world falls and is Max's origins. It shows us how Max came to be as he is now. The second one and the third one are both set after the fall of the world and are more adventures that Max has where he encounters people in need and eventually ends up helping them begrudgingly. Of the three Road Warrior (The second film) is the closest to Fury Road in feel but they are all good in their own ways even if Fury Road is the best of the four. If you have the chance I highly recommend watching the Black and Chrome edition of Fury Road sometime. I personally think it is a beautiful cut of the film and the use of visual contrast in place of color is just gorgeous. Anyways, rambling aside thank you for this reaction. It was fun to see you get to experience this amazing film!

25:43 I love how everyone does that on their first view.

1:01 To answer it: No. They were not from the movies. These are the people Max had helped and failed in his travels. I think it was covered in the comics. After the first film, he was like a nomad. Going around, surviving. As time goes, so does his instinct. In the first film, there's some vegetation left and power such as TV. The law is also showing signs of lawless. The second film is about Gasoline. The third are oil, tribes, and entertainment. The fourth are water. The fifth, if it ever made, will be dry. Who knows where Max goes.

Oh what a day! What a lovely day!

I saw this movie in theaters and I forgot how good it was. I just finished watching the uncut and watching it again. Just mind blowing. This movie was so amazing.

Seeing this in theatres was something else when the music would pick up w all the loud ass cars too, whole auditorium felt like it was shaking

First time seeing this was middle row, in an empty theater, and it was the best movie experience I've EVER had...saw it three more times in theaters and bought it as soon as it was available. Legit, one of my favorite movies, ever! "What, you weren't ready..."for the Pole Cats? 😂😂😂

The thing I love about this movie is that there is so much Australian slang in it that it no doubt completely goes by any foreign audience who watches it.

Hugh Keays-Byrne who played Immortan Joe, also played the TOECUTTER, the biker gang leader in the first movie; Mad Max.

WITNESS ME!!!!!! WITNESSED

I can't think of another movie that made me physically feel almost exactly like the characters did to the degree that this movie did. This movie is a masterpiece.

This movie is a master class of "show, don't tell". They don't stop and give you a whole lot of backstory for all these different people and cultures. They just plonk you in the world and let you piece it together.

A personal friend of mine passed away in a motorcycle accident while attending Mad Max fan-events near the location of the original Mad Max film while leading up to this film, so he never got to see it. He was the one that really got me into the Mad Max series when we were deployed together. Even though he didn't get to see the film, the director and crew memorialized his name in the credits

Australia has the world largest underground water basins it covers nearly a fifth of the country its called the Great Artesian Basin and is estimated to contain 64,900 cubic kilometres of fresh water

Micky's face when Spidey said they'd cut the baby out, dude I can't 😂

Ive watched this film 3 times already and i would still watch it. I just cant get bored of it.

This movie is so good. I think I had seen it twice in theaters, if I remember right, and in 3D. Glad you guys enjoyed it!

Easily in my top 10 if not top 5 favorite movies to rewatch because I see new details in the background each time. Simply amazing!!

30:45 “All this ladies are dying” 😂😂😂😂

This movie single-handedly caused a revival of the post-apocalyptic role-playing games genre. The vehicular carnage game Gaslands Refuelled uses weapons and vehicle upgrades directly inspired by the crazy mechanical contraptions featured in this film.

Every single frame of this movie has meaning. LITERALLY. I do not say this lightly; Masterpiece!

This was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and movies like this rarely EVER get that honour 😎

The main inspiration for the Mad Max series is "A Boy and his Dog"... a post apocalyptic film about a young wasteland nomad and his telepathic, intelligent sheepdog. It was made in 1975. Theres no road chases but they world still feels very Mad Max-esque
