What I do and don't want to see in MM4

yes you can bet it will have more emphasis on Commercial Gain rather than the Rape PIllage and Plunder of before. Set far enough in the future to probably justify CGI as well, damn shame that. (unless of course Max gets to zip around in something like that PodRacer from Cash Wars, hmmm, scags on Pods, could be something to look forward to.

If the next one is the oposite of the newest Matrix movie it will be good.

What i mean is, minimal CGI, no homo-erotic kung-fu, no bad actors spewing "differently-abled" philosophy, and maybe some gun violence. I likes my gun violence. And no stupid costumes or stupid music.

I'd like to see a new Dog, Roop's return, a new Black on Black and a Mazda Bongo van being T-boned by a big sedan!!!

Unless you've got a stunt or effect that can be done in no other way (This sort of stunt in a REALIASTIC movie Series such as Mad Max, should be avoided anyway), NO CGI!

I disagree with the idea that MM3 should be stricken from the record.

It was not that bad & removing it from the continuity Cheapens & Degrades the entire series.

The parts on the truck that max tapped on were Fuel tanks AND Steps..

Why he'd be interested in the fuel in a diesel I'll never know.

Unusable for a Gas/Nitro dual fueler anyway..

My theory is the Interceptor can run on either Nitro Methane "Sucks Nitro" or Gasoline.

It is possible for a standard petrol car to run for a few miles on diesel. It smokes a lot, goes slow, makes a mess of the insides and they'd need some cleaning after (a liberal use of RedX should do it), but it would work. Also, in that sort of situation, I'd take a look to see what state the truck was in and what fuel it had left, as you never know what might happen in the future and you may need to know the whereabouts of a decent set of wheels.

Anyhoo, In MM4, I really want to see some decent REAL TIME car chaces and stunts, with some really crazy conversions -Like humongoses truck- and a decent story.

CGI can be good or bad. Backgrounds are okay in a small scale, computer trickery is okay also. CGI cars and people are a no-no.

If you watch the Lord of the Rings, computer trickery, and CGI was a big part of it. Many of the scenes were computer generated, some were small scale props. Golumn was CGI in the second movie, and he didn't look too bad. Computer trickery was used like when you see Gandolf, and frodo in the same shot. They actually used two different sets, and two different shots of film, one shot for each actor and their set, one set being larger than the other, to make the two people seem much different sized than each other.

But, if you have seen Fast and the Furious 2 previous, many of their cars in their spectacular chase scenes are CGI, that really sucks!! They look terrible!

CAMCHAIN - yep your right, i toyed with the idea of MAX clocking the TANKER as a possible future reference, for what i didn't know, just something, but i thought it was a little too convenient, but i'd still go with that.

On the other hand though, i think it was just pure reflex, you check every vehicle you come across, from a goddamn 2 stroke lawnmower to a GYRO COPTER, who cares if the fuel won't work in your car, its fuel, its gold.

In ANY survival situation, but especially a post-apocalyptic one, you never throw ANYTHING away, and if you can haul it you take it.

yep, i'd love to see what MAX had (besides DOGFOOD), in those boxes in the back of the INTERCEPTOR. then again at the same time, youy can't keep everything, if your a drifter, like MAX, you gotta travel lite, just keep the essentials. And i ain't talkin 'bout no THUNDERDOME camel train, i'm talkin MAX 2.

Maybe he was considering using the rig when his car ran out of gas?

A distinct possibility. A Mack Coolpower might be slower than the Interceptor, but it would come out better in any road battle involving smaller vehicles.

With a little bodging, the drive wheels could be used to run belt driven machinery with the vehicle stationary. The original 1948 Land Rover could be used in a similar way to run threshing machines, conveyor belts, etc. using factory supplied bits and pieces.

It would probably be more durable in the long run, as commercial vehicles are generally made to withstand a certain amount of overwork and neglect. Even though the rig was probably three years past its recommended service interval, it appeared to run quite well...

And of course, a rig can be used to pull trailers and fuel tankers!
