What do you want to see and not see in FR?

Post by Mud Guts »

What do you want to see and not see in FR?

I'm hoping for:
1) High Octane fast car/bike/vehicle action. Mostly live stunt action and not speeded up or all CGI. Considering the number of stunts planned, this box is ticked! :D
2) In MM2 and even TD, I felt there could have be more close up shots of characters, vehicles and locations i.e. in the opening MM2 car chase, the shots of the guys in the Ford Landau are very brief.
Maybe, this scene was cut down for the film to be 90 minutes long. Also, in TD, in Bartertown, considering its importance to the film, I would have liked more shots of the outside location.
3) Decent story line. I'm still not sure if FR is before or after TD. Most sites are stating after TD but I'm hoping its before.
4) Creditable vehicles. From the photos I have seen, most fit the bill. Not sure about the Gigahorse. Would be interesting to see if the Ripsaw is still in the movie?
5) Some humor.
6) Good film reviews. This film's budget is large. Critics like nothing better to pan an expensive Sci-fi film...(*cough Waterworld *)
7) and therefore to be a commercial success so another MM film is made. Tom Hardy's stock is raising so this film could take him as an actor to the next level.
8) A spin off comic. The Walking Dead comic is great. I read it every month on Youtube!

I don't what to see :
1) All pretty ladies and hunks like in an recent episode of Sparticus.
2) A film rated 12.

Also...what accent will Tom Hardy use?

I thought the Walking Dead series was based on the comic, not the other way around?

I believe that the rebooted movies will lose that distinctly Aussie flavour we had in MM2 , you could get away with saying 1 and 2 could be in any country ( apart from the accents which got dubbed over anyway )but from the shot of the dead roo and the red desert in MM2 you know its Australia
Things won't be the same but looking forward to some real large scale epic road action - 140+ vehicles = drool

Thanks for writing to I didn't have too. I agree with your list.

As long as it's nothing like BT then I'll be happy.

no over the top explosions, like where a car rolls once and theres a massive explosion for no reason. this is why i like mad max and road warrior so much.
no CGI
need to have high speed chases on the road and through the desert
needs bikes. where are the bikes? gotta have scoot jockies.
they gotta make these vehicals way more dusty looking too, like spray wd 40 all over them and drive around in the desert all day :D
cool birds eye views of tons of vehicals going through the derert with long dust trails behind them, kinda like tanker chase but larger scale.

oh and bondage gear and assless chaps :lol:

Mostly agree with what you guys above have said, I would like to see some 'built' landscape (old refinery's, remnents of buildings or cities.) Old signs of civilization.

I hope that it is similar to the second one. Its been over 30 years. I hope they can still find vehicles and equipment that will fit the era. I think that the flat black is alittle over done though. Hopefully they stay away from the special effects and keep it raw real and uncut. I hope there isnt much talking and more brute action on maxs part as usual

What I wanna see:
Nasty bad guys, cool fast cars from the 70's
Dust, dirt.
Violence not appropriate to children.
Some new faces not known from Hollywood.
CGI if it's needed in order to save lifes.
Masses of bands, clans and deviants.
A Max that do everything for himself, not for others...erm

Do not want to see:
Horrible kid scenes (BTD)
Rock music (it's destroying nearly all scenes) Guys, don't use rock music in a movie.
Morality in each way. :shock:
I could probably make it on my own, but I like you kids.
