The Vehicles of Mad Max poster
Someone sent this to me. I thought it was pretty cool.
I watched Mad Max for the first time the other day. I was surprised that the world wasn’t a post-apocalyptic hellscape yet.
There's a tiny hint something devastating has happened because there's a warning about radiation sign at one point in the movie. It was done as an excuse for why there are so few cars on the road. Lots of people are dead.
The Road Warrior explains the history of what happened in the intro, but also since it was told by someone who would have only heard it second-hand, it could be wrong.
There's definitely something to the idea that the Mad Max films are folktales rather than something coherent. There are deliberate continuity errors between Fury Road and Furiosa (for example, one of Immortan Joe's sons is different and the History Man in Fury Road is a woman.)
Edit: I guess it wasn't a radiation sign, but it was certainly an implication that something really bad happened in Australia.
The ending of Furiosa really enhances the notion that these are folk tales. They describe but also film multiple depictions of the fate of one of the main characters, as if different tellings of the story give a different ending.
Where is the iconic 2015 truck?
It's missing a lot of vehicles, but I think the poster could only be so long.
Very cool. Thanks. I've heard those kz 1000 are literally death machines because of the engine size weight ratio.
+1 for the anarcho-syndicalism flag, but these movies would only be tolerable to me if they found some sort of renewable alternative to oil
I don't watch post-apocalyptic movies for solutions to things. The whole point of those movies is there were no solutions.
