Possible pictures of actual Fury Road vehicles

[kickherintheguts]

What I don't really understand is how much is it connected to the 2003 movie when Gibson was supposed to play Max. If it's the same script... was it, in 2003, already thank as a new movie, not connected with the original trilogy ?

I don't think this new MM4 is related to the 2003 version. Someone awhile back (RW-7?) posted that he thought Miller must have went back to the drawing board after Mel retired from acting and came up with an entirely new MM trilogy, using highlights from the old Mad Max universe.

So far, whatever it is (Milk, babies, babes, mutants, radiation) it does seem to be a reboot. This makes perfect sense as a studio perceives a reboot as a safe way to attract new fans while not completely leaving the old fans behind.

I think the old Max is dead. Long live the new Max! ..and may he be Mad!!

All stories depend on the narrators perspective.
Road Warrior was a story told by "the leader of the Great Northern Tribe" (feral kid) based on his memories of the events. Thunderdome is told by those who "tell the tale", handed down orally to future generations.

Any of us could witness an event and remember the details differently, either the description of a vehicle or the events themselves. We will tell the story as we saw it with emphasis on things we that struck us as important. It's like when a fisherman tell about the one that got away and how it gets bigger every time he tells the story.

Fury Road seems to follow this. A story told based on the memories of the teller. It may even contain events that we are familiar with but because they are told from a different perspective they appear completely different.
That also explains the ambiguity of reboot or sequel.

This is actually an excellent point. Mad Max is one of the few films that you can reboot and yet keep it working as part of the series. It doesn't matter what Max looks like because it is his character that people are remembering.

As for the BoB I hope it is just a flash back intro because it's beginning to look a little weak (though I'm sure it would speed away from them) compared to the big wheels and armoured trucks.

I don't think it makes any sense to say it's around RW era or post Thunderdome. I think it's not part of the original trilogy. The designs we saw, vehicles, costumes, nothing look like the original trilogy. It cannot be "after TD era" because in TD there's no more vehicles, juste shells. Here it's monster cars and trucks. It's a new approch, more fantasy.

I posted before about how everything would get worse as civilisation fell apart, but eventually things would stabilise and people would find ways to improve their situation. They were starting to do this in Thunderdome. The vehicles were rudimentary but you could tell they were already starting to build what they needed not just make do with the remains of the old world. Fast forward a few years or a decade and they might have the time and resources to do more than the bare minimum in building vehicles. Look at how many different unrelated components (all those 'shells') there are in the new tanker and how well it's put together. No need for that much effort around the time of RW with the vehicles still hanging around fairly intact and yet it's way more elaborate and engineered than what you see in Thunderdome. It's the same with 'Joe' and the props we've seen. Made up of 'old' things, but really they are newly made.

Well, should Fury Road be the beginning of a new entire Trilogy? I guess after was Dr. Miller said in some interviews. And yep, the new black tanker looks like sh* and I dislike some actors who are in the film and 3D for Max doesn't sound so cool.

I think its just time to get over the fact that the old triligy is over and done in the past! Time to turn over a new leaf. ITs going to be a reboot and thats just fine by me! Mel is old and retired. Time for new faces new cars/trucks and a new plot! Im very excited about this movie. As for the new BOB the crapier the better! Theres somthing about a XB falcon coupe that just looks bad ass nomatter how pretty or dirty it is! just goes to show that nobodys XB coupe replicas are wrong! It just has to look the part! F the details! PLus its cool that the new BOB has steel front just like my BOB replica! LOL Besides is nobdy stoked about the tocutter staring in this movie? Let MEL go. Im also excited to see some old school american hotrods mixed in with aussie muscle cars and love the old International pickup monstertrucks! I also think if you look closly history is repeating itself and this mite be one hellofa movie! Guess we all will find out in several months? In a generation of CGI films this movie without CGI might be a real bad boy like the original. What do you a all think?

It's impossible to tell at this stage, it will depend on the story, the world the film inhabits and the tone. I like the darker look of the vehicles though and I'm quite prepared for a fully fledged reboot.

At least you're excited by what you've seen

Ya i think if anything it will instill intrest in the old movies too. I hope its not a flop i really think/hope that for Millar this Movies/story is probly his Baby if you will. So i would like to think that after all these years and time to ponder on it that he would be carfull about this "reboot" or charector story that it should be a good plot/movie its easy to see in hindsite after the success of the first two movies it would be easy to get carried away with the funding money from WB that in a way the action/some cars was good but the plot was confuzing and weak in BTD. Kinda Milking a cash cow at that point for sequal plus the death of Byron dident help either. It also looks like theres some good people behind the production of this new movie too so there could be a good mix of money quality actors hopfully a quality plot. And definitly quality cars/trucks and a nice destert set to play with. And should be little to no CGI thats almost unheard of nowadays. OH and some HOT ASS BABES!!! Better than tina for sure LOL

ALSO would like to thank production crew for installing the fuel line and throttle cable on the fuelinjection hat for the new Interceptor! At least those details are there. LOL Before in the old movies the blower might as well not even have the belt on it!

Yeah, that is cool, I noticed that too. The rear wheels are more MM1 style than MM2 style as well. The single fuel tank and fuel cap looks right on to me. Maybe whomever stole the original fuel tank off the MM2 stunt car, did so for this film? Oh now did I say that out loud?

Any way you slice it, this car HAS to be a pre-MM2 version of the same car, because it was destroyed in MM2. But then I still don't get the all-around rougher look of the car, the lack of rear spoiler, different headlight lenses, and the front bumper looks metal to me too. Noticed no windshield wipers either. They were on the car in MM2 and changed between the MM1 car and the stunt car.

Also, as others have noticed... Cooper Cobras instead of BFG tires, and the rear tires look quite a bit smaller than 295/50/15. Key locks in the doors are gone. Thought they were there in MM2. Someone was probably told to make it look like a wasteland car like MM2 and did some research but ultimately went overboard on the wasteland part and overlooked a few other details here and there.
