For last Halloween I did a Nux Costume. Used silver acrylic paint for the scars, flesh tone for the imortan logo, lathered up the remainder in white creme. Its recommended by "Professionals" that you use Krylon Aquacolor like they did for the movie but that stuff is like $50 a pop. I used the much cheaper Peniete Pour white body paint instead. Worked fine with no couches ruined, but I also had the foresight to try keep my back from rubbing everywhere even when I was a bit drunk.

As for the face I had a great job done by a friend where they used purples and blues to really sink my eyes and make it look like I had super gaunt cheeks.

Hey awesome, I had some "proper" makeup and stuff in my amazon cart but this would be way cheaper

why not swing by a good will store and see if you can find a pair of beat up work boots? it'd make for a more authentic look. (kind of a crap shoot for the style you're after, but might be worth a shot).

If you can't tell that Lockdown was turning into a gun because the camera was turning around, well...


Wait, wait, wait. It's a bad thing that the pyrotechnics and CGI take a back seat to the human actors and their drama?
I have no idea who lockdown is, I just heard some poo poo was going on this thread. Here were my thoughts watching that scene: SWAT teams and lights, cartoon dust ball fight on a boat, more swat teams and lights. Robot gets leg blown off. Robot with leg blown off has something growing out the back of his head? Is he like a hedgehog robot? Robot gets head blown up. Wait, his head like grew and exploded? Cut to other gun shaped robot. Oh, I guess that makes sense.

Its a horrible scene and a horrible shot.

I saw some trend piece in the paper claiming that The Furiosa would be the hot new haircut of 2016. I laughed it off, until I noticed a few of my female friends shaving their heads.

Just get some Docs. When the costume is done, you'll have Docs. For added authenticity, order Aussie work boots like Blundstones.

For a few years in the 2000s, Mercedes made cars with supercharged V8s, the most Mad Max engine there is. You can still find them used, but their yearly maintenance is about the same as the purchase cost.

For a silly sketch video my friend and I decorated his car in the most low-rent low-budget mad max style we possibly could

I don't know if it counts as a souped up road machine, but I am pretty proud of the cardboard spikes and skeleton hand wine glasses we taped to the front. To say nothing of the various plastic kitchenware duct taped to his roof mount.

Here's the face one (she even does the lip sutures!):

And here's how to do the body scarring (assuming you're going for Nux and not just some random War Boy!) :

Might also want to find some leather cuffs/chains/paracord bracelets to really polish it; seems like a lot of the War Boys had some form of them.

Yes! Even on a normal summer day here a few hours without water will make you dry, heat-stroked, and dizzy and weird. A day without sunscreen will burn you. Multiple that by Mad Max time and it explains almost all the insanity in the movie.

'Version of?' Does the rest of the world not have white zinc sun cream that gets slathered on all summer? It's a combo of that and Indigenous face paint, I imagine. In the parlance of the country, they've 'gone feral'.

The Mad Max movies are way more realistic than I'd like. Especially the first one.

Immortan Joe might have to put the white powder on because of his skin condition, so maybe the warboys use it as a nod to him. Probably just sunscreen though.

My real question is whether the stilt guys masks were meant to look like Borderlands. That one bit where they lunge at the camera comes from the box art.
Once somebody pointed out that 'Imperator' is male and Furiosa should be an Imperatrix, I've just assumed that Immortan Joe was kicked out of Ceaser's Legion for bad Latin.

But seriously the Mad Max movies capture the hosed up combo of booze and heat that's Australia. And the endless roads - the War Rig's what we call a 'road train'.

Nah, they're a male-dominated society. You wanna make it as a woman, you have to be a man. There's room for an imperator who happens to be a woman, but there certainly isn't room for the concept of an Imperatrix.

They are both announcing propaganda to the masses, and Rictus is dumb.

Seriously, in every scene where Rictus says something, find Joe in the frame and he is glowering like "oh my loving god why is he so dumb".
