There are supposed to be three factions: The citadel guys (not sure what they call themselves): All them albinos, lead by Immortan Joe. He controls the water, Imperator Furiosa works for him, but I guess in the movie at some point conscience gets the better of her and she decides to take his brides off to her homeland somewhere. So Immortan Joe is trying to get his bitches back. The Bullet Farmer, the blindfolded guy, who has all the guns/ammunition. It would be funny if there is some sort of post apocalyptic legend of this guy; he's like Zatoichi with guns, but realistically its just some crazy blind dude windmilling his arms around while going full auto with a a pair of MP5's or whatever he's armed with. The People Eater, who is the leader of the gang that controls all the guzzoline. I haven't seen him yet, him and his gang might just end up getting passing mention in the actual movie. Characters we know: Max who gets captured by Immortan Joe's gang and turned into a hood ornament, then gets recruited by Imperator Furiosa in her scheme to take the brides away from the Citadel. Imperator Furiosa who used to work for Immortan Joe "You ever done this before?"/"Many times." but is taking his brides somewhere. Honestly I get the sense that the movie is more about her than Max. Total speculation, but I'm betting the loss of her arm is gonna be some allegory to freedom- sorta like a coyote having to chew its own leg off to escape a trap. Immortan Joe played by the guy who played Toecutter in the first film, with the mask. As an aside, I find it ironic that while the guy that played Max played Bane in the last Batman movie, the guy who plays a similar masked villain is much more easier to understand when he talks. This guy happened to luck onto the only deep well in the wasteland and obviously formed some kind of cult around it. Until Furiosia takes his women and he goes on some crazy chase after her and Max. Nux who is driving the car that has the Max Hood Ornament. He is pretty young looking, and you see him with the 'brides' in some trailers and carried by Max. I get the sense he gets rescued and dragged along the chase. Rictus Erectus, Immortan Joe's right hand man, the buff guy with the goofy face mask thing and huge machinegun. He's seen driving the Monster Truck. Guessing like most typical Head Mooks there is an epic fight culminating into ]Imperator Furiosa headbutting him into oblivion  . I'm anticipating a contrast between three elements of this film: Furiosa, who is trying to actually escape this type of life/existence, Max, who is merely trying to survive it, and Nux, who is in all likelihood born into this madness.

According to the vehicle showcase Rictus Erectus may actually be Imperator Furiosa's son. And I think those guys on the dirt bikes in the new trailer might be Buzzards, which is another faction that's basically what their name implies and everyone hates them.

The vehicle with the drummers and flamethrower guitarist is called the 'Doof Wagon'. The guitarist is apparently blind and disfigured. This movie is gonna be so cool!

I don't know if people noticed but the scenes where the top half of Furiosa's head is 'sooty' there is another mook with similar markings. I wonder if this is a kind of rank insignia or something. I imagine the gang member in charge of delivering the guzzoline would be both trustworthy and badass. So maybe it's related to that. Also, there was commentary joking about why aren't these guys raiding in priuses and similar vehicles. I think the reason is twofold: One, it prevents the movie from seeming dated later on. For all we know the Prius and iPod may be the Pet Rock of our generation; it's probably better to stick with vehicles so old or obscure they would still be "timeless" two sequels and six years from now. Two, it's similar to the Smokers in Waterworld: Sure guzzoline is precious, but that just means those who control it have great power. What better ways to flaunt your power than with fire and smoke spewing machines? People growing up in the twilight of civilization would see these things as totems of great power. The scarcer guzzoline gets, the more powerful these machines appear. Its obvious the citadel gang has already had a cargo cult going for a while- the steering wheel motif, the prayer pose with steepled fingers (our most holy vee eight?) And costumes adorned with motorcycle air filters. Guzzoline is power, but it is the demonstration of that power that lends weight. Fear and obedience doesn't come from some nondescript fuel bunkers, it comes from some deaf mute jamming on a flamethrower guitar perched on a giant diesel powered PA system

And at the end of world, you can’t fix a computer. What would you salvage, a Corolla or a 1973 Falcon?”

I wish there were ironic product tie ins with this movie. Like Shell stations selling promotional beverage cups and changing all their signage to say "guzzoline". Purchase ten gallons of guzzoline and get a free max antenna ball. For the Road Warrior in you!

I don't see how anyone can dislike Thunderdome. It's just such a weird movie. The entire lost boys colony is just so surreal in that. The road sequences are at least as good as Road Warrior. Kind of sad Tina Turner didn't do more roles in her prime. She was actually pretty good.berzerkmonkey posted:Oh God, I hope they are positive. Fear not. It's going to be huge.

I enjoyed Thunderdome but the road sequences really don't have anything on Road Warrior, they might be just as good quality wise but the movies tone is so over the place it's hard to get invested. e: Thinking about it for a second Thunderdome is pretty consistent about what it is but my expectations of it being a Mad Max movie were always at odds with it. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Has anyone read the copy of Entertainment Weekly that covers this film? I heard it had a lot of spoilers about the plot. I was really curious about more info. From what I heard, Immortan Joe's gang are suffering some kind of disease/mutation in their men. This explains why all the guys are pasty white- maybe its a skin condition? The women are treated like chattel perhaps in an effort to 'breed out' their mutation. Max is used as a human blood bag and was kept alive possibly to provide transfusions. Of course this could all be a bunch of hooey cooked up by Immortan Joe to get a loyal band of followers to give him all the guzzoline and virgins. From the looks of it, Max gets captured at the beginning. Nux gets sent out as an escort for Furiosas war rig. But Furiosa secretly smuggled Immortan Joe's brides on board, and plans on giving the guzzoline to the buzzards in exchange for safe passage out of the wastes . The buzzards stage an attack to make it look like the rig got ambushed but Furiosa prearranged all of it.They need to kill all the guards/escorts so there's no witnesses but Max survives. They decide to team up but at this point Immortan Joe discovered the betrayal and is in hot pursuit. Whatever faction was supposed to get the guzzoline is after them too since they think Immortan Joe double crossed them, and the third faction is trying to take advantage of the chaos to steal the guzzoline. When the buzzards discover "three war parties" are after them, they trigger a rockslide which buys Furiosa time to make a break for it.

Just saw original Mad Max on cable, had only seen bits before. That final montage is amazing, it's like 10 minutes with almost no dialogue. The whole movie was weird, like Dirty Harry directed by the old Star Trek show director. Also I read some youtube comments about Road Warrior and apparently the original cut for Australia had a few more scenes. Is it worse than the American cut?
