Week 175 of asking for Everything Great About Dead Man's Chest
YES
Same here
Yes please 🏴☠
Not gonna happen lmfao
We see you, we hear you. Thoughts and prayers.
Something I always loved about Humungous's crew: They were all psychos, sure, but it was also pretty clear they all *liked* and cared for each other. Humungous's restraint of Wez wasn't an uncaring tyrant disciplining a minion he doesn't care about. It's fatherly, in his own psycho way.
The actor at a panel said he and the other actor actually made their backstory that he found the blonde kid when he was young and raised him as a fatherly figure. Most everything in the Mad Max universe has a backstory even if it's never mentioned or shown on screen! There isn't actually really anything to prove that they actually agreed about that backstory and them not being lovers like implied in the actual movie other than the footage of the panel so make of that what you will. :p
@@bearman9033Why not both?
Had Australian cattle dog for 14 years so seeing absolutely nothing bad happen to the dog in this film warms my heart.
They are freaks of nature. So much energy. I once played frisbee catch with a cattle dog for an hour before she got tired of it. They will also try to herd people. It's hilarious.
Everything about that dogs backstory is pretty heartwarming. there's a video floating around youtube telling the whole story of that dog
It was originally going to be revealed near the end of the film that Lord Humungus was in fact Max's old Main Force Patrol partner Jim Goose, who was horribly burned (but not confirmed to be dead) in the first movie. *While this didn't make it into the film, some elements of the final product might be leftover hints:*
-Humungus' scoped pistol is a very similar weapon to the standard sidearm used by the MFP (albeit a different model) and other members of his pack use modified police patrol vehicles.
-He appears to have terrible burn scars underneath his mask, as evidenced by the back of his head, though the rest of his body is completely unblemished.
-His speeches about losing the people you care about and "ending the suffering” seem to hint at a more conflicted and tragic personality.
Also, since he mentioned the hot vents, it’s strange, because the script has one of the bandits get killed by touching them during the final battle, but then it’s cut and not only does Feral Kid make this mistake here, but Angharad makes the exact same mistake before she dies in Fury Road.
There’s no way it’s The Goose. His body has no burns.
He would have recognized max.
I'm glad they didn't do that as I like that Max is a complete outsider who's stumbled into the situation.
Physically he is more Fifi
'Dinki-Di' is pronounced 'Dinky-Die'. It is an Australian term meaning like, 'True Blue' or 'The Real Deal'
Yep. Derived from "Fair Dinkum" which is an Australianism meaning genuine, truthful.
Paused it to come see how long it took someone to correct him :)
@@SirFluffy100 Also came down here to see if anyone else said anything lol
beat me to it!
Beat me to it as well. I'm leaving my comment in because I'm lazy and selfish.
Humungus' ride looks like it would be unbalanced without prisoners strapped to the front. Like he has to have two sacrifices on display at all times.
Evil and practical!
OK, did think it strange you'd skipped the original , but glad you answered that question early.
I really dont agree with the notion that the first Mad Max is boring. Fury Road was my favorite until I actually sat down and watched the first one and I was blown away. I was told it was boring for years but I was enamored with it. A man struggling to uphold justice until it gets worse and worse and he finally breaks and goes on a rampage, becoming arguably worse than the criminals hes fought against. Its awesome!
The best. "Madness put to music"
Gotta be honest Toe-Cutter scares the shit out of me. Major credit to Hugh Keynes Byrn for playing two of the most iconic villians in the history of cinema
It's amazing how good the first film is given it had such a low budget.
The feeling of the pre-apocalypse on the first movie has also never really been replicated since, it had a weird and indescribable ambience of a world rapidly spiraling down.
In many ways, the first one is more disturbing than the others. In the post-collapse world of the main arc of the franchise, everything's been reduced to a desperate struggle and, for all the brutality, the parameters are fairly clear. Everyone is either a lone survivor or part of a tribe doing their best to survive and utilise the environment, resources and allies to their advantage.
In the first film, those we feel the most sympathy for haven't made this transition yet. They still believe, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, that the spiral into chaos will somehow be stopped, order will be restored and society will go on. They're waiting and working for this to happen, whereas the bandits are just finding ways to amuse themselves before the real battle for the future begins. Having rewatched the film many times, I'm convinced it's that sense of possibility - that maybe, just maybe, there might be something to save the day - which makes it most disturbing, and allows us to identify with Max as his story gets going.
Apart from anything else, the sheer level of context and scene-setting, as well as character-driven narrative, makes the opening instalment a true golden asset in terms of the overall arc.
So little fun fact about Hughmongus, that Smith & Wesson actually is his. His backstory was that he was an Australian soldier who got scarred on his face; the photo is a past relative.
Original story was he was one of the cops from the first movie
@wadewatts1441 Max's partner, Goose. It's still hinted at in the movie. A lot of his gang wear cop uniforms.
Which means that the SS skull and crossbones are his too. Woof.
@@thelastholdout Cop is also a Nazi shocker
Fun fact: the truck was rolled by a normal truck driver, not a stuntman. Miller asked him if it would be hard and he said, no, that's what they're taught to avoid. When asked if he could do it for the film he agreed. After the movie the guy went back to his normal job, driving trucks and not rolling them. Aussie legend! (I was told this story in the Mad Max 2 museum so it must be true - I guess)
The Mad Max movies are very "This guy with a camera gave me a crate of beer to crash some cars! Fukken A!"
I believe this is true, and they brought him back for more stunts later on. Mr Sunday Movies' videos on the Mad Max series talked about him (they're a pair of Aussie blokes, their commentary on these movies is well worth it).
There is a staunch part of fandom who likes the first Mad Max more than other movies. It has its own merit not just as one of the best directorial debut films, but also as a movie which is of a rare genre - pre-apocalypse. Whole world falls apart, but it's only when this reaches the main protagonist and you really feel the magnitude when it just starts to bleed through screen.
Now for a bit of fanboying over this franchise: leather preserves your natural temperature, so technically in a scorching heat you might have less than outside. And the booby trap is realistic to a point you can replicate it (not that you should). George Miller knows his stuff.
Original was the best.
"It's madness put to music!"
yeah. it's the details. the cops uniforms are all just riding gear. the vehicles are patch worked together. it's clear society is only barely clinging on. also the waste land is clearly marked by radioactive signage. so the bombs have already dropped it's just not completely gone to shit yet.
I'm one of those people that still like the first movie the best. Mostly because, although I was already a big fan of sci-fi and car-chase movies, Mad Max was still the craziest thing I had ever seen up to that point. The unbelievable stunts were very real looking, because they were! The whole thing was well done, just not an-explosion-every-other-second like action movie fans demand now.
@@wilburross9709 the MFP leathers and the Interceptor were clean. The double barrel pistol grip sidearm was overkill.
He manages to waste the whole gang, ending
w/Johnny the Boy left cuffed @ ankle onto burning car wreck w/a hacksaw!
Just THE Best!
Fun fact, both of the 2 Mad Max Aussie Ford Falcons used in the film are still around. The wreck actually exists still in Australia and the camera car is in Orlando Florida in a museum. Also many props and pieces from this movie are at the Mad Max Museum in Broken Hill Australia, that’s ran by a friend of mine Adrian Bennett.
The first Mad Max is great, it’s obviously not as technically advanced but it’s the only time we ever get to see the world before the fall, to see everything in the early stages of deterioration is really thematically important.
"Madness put to music!"
The mechanic shouter really reminds me of Galaxy Quest. "I have one job on this lousy ship. It's stupid, but I am going to do it, OKAY?!"
: What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?
@@andu1854 'This episode was poorly written!'
Best. Movie. Ever.
This movie IS the post-apocalyptic genre.
The "warrior woman" is Virginia Hey. She's 71 now and still gorgeous.
Had a great role in Farscape as well.
@@Viglin123 oh cousin, I'm very aware. I was completely under the spell of Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan .
The first “Mad Max” is more than fine, it’s worth it for the insanely good performance by Hugh Keays-Byrne as Toecutter. Plus you see how much Max has lost after the normal family life is ripped away from him.
"Madness put to music!"
This guy is one of my most favourite youtubers of all time and the reason for that is that a lot of youtubers these days always criticize and make fun of how bad movies are but this guy sees the positive and all the good things in movies, even in movies that are not good. This is something you don't see in youtubers a lot and everytime I watch his videos, there's always a smile on my face because of his positivity.
Fallout 3 has a ton of references to Road Warrior and Thunder Dome, not the least of which is that the 45 Magnum is in the game, and always has a scope.
"They are not normal men. They're not innocent men."
I see what you did there
I don't get it
I caught that too. Very internet nerdy.
@@AdamG1983 Search "Just normal innocent men."
hey everyone an Aussie here for those wondering about the red sand it's due to the high levels of iron.
Dinki-di is actually pronounced dinky die, it's Aussie slang for authentic or genuine.
They all get it wrong now, because the game got it wrong as well.
How would anyone look at that name and know (and/or assume) that it's pronounced that way?!
Game o tellyfone, wanderer. They words guzzoline as pet troll in them ol-days.
When it was all worded "Planet Erf".
@@sumthingwikked4257 Bruce Spence as The Gyro Captain was the first to say it that way in 'The Road Warrior'.
Bluey intro music at the end was priceless. Love the Iran Oil Crisis AU.
Dog is a good doggo.
The fact you mentioned the South Park reference to the “Just walk away scene” made me very happy lol
There was also that episode that was a men vs. women debate with farts and queefs, and one woman being able to "queef" the entire Humungus monologue.
I think you definitely should do the first one. It's not as iconic as the rest of the franchise, but it's still a pretty good film, and it's interesting to see where it all started.
Plus there's a lot to talk about. Miller's background as a Doctor shining through, people using their own cars for stunts, rushing scenes because they didn't have a filming permit...
Wtf?! This is the best sequel, by farrrr!!
The warrior woman went on to play the blue plant lady in Farscape, btw.
Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan
There is a translate under your comment. I was wondering how they were going to translate Delvian
A name so odd, it would've required context, heh.
I just posted about this. Then was quite happy and grateful others here had as well. Her blue butt is not to be ignored.
And John Rhys-Davies' girlfriend or mistress that Timothy Dalton's Bond strips as a distraction in "The Living Daylights."
Virginia Hey.
17:25 EXACTLY how I feel. Every MM movie is word-of-mouth. History is written by the...survivors
AS WE ALL KNOW the dog survived and caught up with the convoy and lived happily with the Gyro Captain, the Feral Kid and company.
That is 100% what happened and I will take no further questions.
Dog just, got concussed and reappeared afterwards, like Agro from SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS, except George Miller fsr decided to cut that scene out for the theatrical release
Little-known fan theory: To this day I am convinced that the original Mad Max trilogy provided a certain amount of inspiration for the classic video game Final Fantasy 6. There's a curiously familiar feral kid (also one of the best characters). He doesn't use a boomerang, but there *are* boomerangs in the game, a series first. There's DOG (whose name just so happens to be Interceptor). There's even a minor enemy called a Toe Cutter (it's just a species of giant mantis that sometimes accosts you in a cave, but a name's a name). Just a lot of little coincidences (and some bigger ones, some involving spoilers) that make it seem like at least someone on the team had Mad Max on the brain when working on the game. I'd love to do a deep dive into this someday.
There was a great theory (or perhaps it was a dropped plot point actually in an early script) that Humungus was going to be Jim Goose, Max's partner from the first film, which is hinted at by the burns behind the mask, the weapon he uses, and a few other aspects of his gang.
Please do Van Helsing (2004)
mad max 1 has an amazing premise and setting of the beginning of the end and what it means to tip-toe on the line of good and evil, culminating on the symbol of the bronze badge being the only thing that keeps max from being evil. i'm sorry but i cant just let mad max 1 slander go unchecked because its a genuinely good movie with stunts that are devastating and brutally realistic rather than showboating as an action movie. honestly the setting is my favorite and the idea of the MFP being this last ditch effort which is underfunded by a government that would much rather talk than take action is literally what causes the setting to become post apocalyptic! idk man i can somewhat understand and see where people are coming from but the movie's story and thematic value is much more than just the last 10 minutes
It was the best.
"Madness put to music"
If you're gonna do Beyond Thunderdome, yeah, I think you should do the original Mad Max as well.
Side note for Thunderdome, though, "Blackfinger" was played by a guy named George, who was a presenter on Playschool (a beloved Australian childrens program). And for someone born in '84, this was my first time seeing him not be all family friendly!
He seemed like he wasn't quite a scumbag in Thunderdome
I'm probably not the first to mention it, but I'm gonna mention it anyway..."Dinki-Di" isn't pronounced Dinki Dee, it's Dinki Die. It's an Aussie thing.
Humongous’s gang looks like it’s assembled from 3 smaller groups: a police force, the one’s in pelts, and the ones wearing… ‘leather’.
it's pronounce Dinki-die which means 'geniune' in Australian slang.
Was wondering if i'd have to post this myself.
The actor that plays Wez, Vernon Wells, also played the main villian for Power Rangers Time Force, Ransik
And Arnold helped him let off some steam in a different movie
He also plays a generic Mad Max-style raider in the comedy Weird Science.
thats a bit of trivia i needed to hear because Time Force is my favourite Power Ranger series, never would have guessed Ransik is Aussie
Possibly my 2nd favourite shot of all time(after Harry Limes 1st appearance ) is the POV inside with the killer cop racing against Max’s truck
The iron cross is still used by the German military to this day.
Liberals get scared so easily. Iron cross was used before and after ww2
The actual film realism of Road Warrior (the dog rolling in the dust, long shots of Max & gyrocaptain, opening car chase with 2-3 camera angles) establishes this as superior to Fury Road, even if the scenes were much shorter. Practical effects rule over CGI
4:26 I see what you did there
Oh man that Bluey edit at the end was so good
The Mad Max films are a series of documentaries chronicling events from when South Australia experienced a month-long power outage.
best Mad Max film, Thunder dome is ok, but.. the original, classic, and fury road, awesome fun. not too thrilled about Furiosa, didn't need a PREQUEL.
Fantastic content. Well done.
Fun fact. Growing up I got to play on a couple of the car wrecks.
They found their way to Broken Hill and sat in the open.
That would have been great! I had read that the cars were hauled off to a junkyard after the first movie was made, even Max's Interceptor. Then when the first movie was so successful, they had to negotiate buying it back when they decided to make the second movie! Was the yard the one they used in the movie? That would have been a great touch! And did the owner look like the grease-monkey in the movie? That would have been even better!
@wilburross9709 haha. Na. No interceptor. That would have been sick. It was the red/black ute from Mad Max 2. Though I don't remember the other as vividly.
Broken Hill was great at the time. Could cross the road into Rocky Hill and it was just scrub. Squint and you were in a mad max movie.
What a lovely day when I open CZcams & I see a new cinemawins vid & it’s about road warrior. Can’t wait for Furiousa. Would love to see an EGA Sonic 2
Oh what a day! What a lovely day!
I'm so glad to know the dog lived a long happy life after being in the movie. ^_^
I understand why you skipped the first. Still is one of my absolute favorites. All the motorcycles are *chefs kiss* and the iconic lines from nightrider, goose, and the toecutter are just that. Iconic
"Madness put to music!"
"It was quick" was this movies version of "She went under the wheels"
I think RLM made a decent argument that with how cool this film is, Fury Road practically took it and multiplied by 10 all its best aspects and kind of outdid this film. Yet still, this movie rocks, and stands far and above most action films by its sheer dedication to stunt-work, I mean it will always be timelessly enjoyable for that quality alone, something which a lot of modern action films probably won’t due to budget-reliance on CGI. I miss the days when the cheapest option was to do it for real, it was hella dangerous, but stuntmen gotta work too, and they got plenty of work on this film. It is harrowing though the story of that one guy who got cartwheeled out of the car, absolutely death-defying this film
"We don't need another hero" 😊
Fun fact: at the time she recorded that for Thunderdome, Tina Turner's legs were insured at $3.2M.
"If it's all the same to you, I'll drive that tanker" is somehow my favorite line. It's when Max admits he has no other options and still desires to live. Plus, it's delivered so awesomely.
Ps- I am glad I now know that the dog survived.
The fact that you question whether you will do a EGA Mad Max... disappointing. Considering the budget, the indie vibe, the disturbing performances, and edge-of-dystopia feel, it is, in some ways, better than Mad Max 2.
Now we need Thunderdome. "Dyin' times here!"
Loved the tone of this one. Just a personal “what I loved about it” from someone who seems like the really do love it. And Brucey Spence got the respect he deserved. Bravo!
9:44 "even in the heat of battle" rofl, is that a pun, given the scene? Nice video btw thanks again CinemaWins!
No Pickup Lines from the Wasteland Vol. 2
Warrior Woman is Xan from Farscape!
Great that you included the story about the dog, he was literally spared from death row by the producers of the film.
No mention that both Warrior Woman and Keeper of the Seeds were both in Farscape?
This film will always have a special spot in my heart. My parents had seen it, and dropped 12-year-old me to watch it alone, on a Sunday matinee. Sat in the middle of a mostly empty theater, and had my tiny mind wowed.
Thank you for your positivity and sharing your love of movies 😁
Thanks for doing another 80's movie. -A GenX subscriber. 😎
Mad Max is awesome and that is coming from someone that saw Road Warrior first.
18:25
I think you are bit too harsh on Mel.
My dad was pretty cool about letting me watch shows not meant for my age (took me to Alien at the theater when I was 9) and when Mad Max come out on HBO he was excited for me to see it. 12 years old when Road Warrior came out and 15 when Beyond Thunderdome released. I loved them all. When Fury Road released I was on cloud nine. I mean, Charlize Theron!? So good! And now Anya Taylor-Joy in another one! YEAH!!! I have learned never to get my hopes up for a sequel and just enjoy it for what it is.
Dinki-Di (Di pronounced with a long i as in Die) is old Australian slang from being a "true Aussie"
Our areas of red soil come from ancient volcanos, the soil is high in minerals but very low in organic material (carbon that make soil darker). We haven't had centuries of large herds of herbivores leaving their manure around to add carbon. The red soil is particularly good for growing peanuts because it doesn't form a hard crust on top, allowing the delicate plant to push up through to the sunlight :)
I actually knew how to pronounce that thanks to Crocodile Dundee
I'm legitimately chuckling at this, since I guessed this (well, I guessed it was Mad Max) last week. I didn't expect to correctly guess it, much less come close, hahahaha
Quality. Remains one of my favourite movies - for all the reasons you talk about. Thanks!
Omg u did the “we’re just normal men” line I had no idea that translated in the States! And now u are officially my hero 🙏
Thank you for not killing Dog.
The dog, the warrior women and the boy, so many brutal 80s movies with a lot of heart, like Conan and Robocop...The Hidden.
I know Bruce Spence as Zeddicus the wizard in Legend of the Seeker and the old guy in Aquamarine so imagine my surprise to find out he's an icon in Ozzie cinema and tv series.
Good job, I can see the amount of work put for this video
I'm just going to say it feral kid looks like Warwick Davis.
THANK YOU for the Hacker reference! I got it! Brilliant. Normal men, innocent men. You are golden, thank you!
Road Warrior is the best of the trilogy. Fury Road was awesome, but I think Road Warrior still wins for me.
Please do Blue Beetle! I would love to see the good pointed out in that flawed but underrated movie!
Mad Max 1 wasn't bad but now that I've seen it, there's no real reason to ever watch it again. Mad Max 2 is absolutely amazing and will always come back to it. Thunderdome is... Fine. I'll probably watch it again sometime. And Fury Road is also amazing, I'll probably watch it yearly.
Fury Road is absolutely amazing but this is still my favourite of the series, and one of my all time favourite films. It captured something special and felt so real that makes it so engaging
I'd rather see one about Thunder Dome, honestly. I think Auntie Destiny is a great chaotic neutral character who is antagonistic, but not evil the way Humongous or Joe are.
Auntie Entity
18:00 Eh, I don't know. I feel like one of the strongest qualities of Road Warrior is how *real* and believable it all is. There's a level of verisimilitude that Fury Road's (glorious) cartoonishness just couldn't ever achieve. I feel like this is a rare case where the budget was absolutely perfect for the movie, and that a larger budget might have actually hurt it.
Da cinema king is back baby he neva miss we're eating good today y'all
The motorbike under the truck wheels took a few takes...they reassembled it each time with fencing wire and the resulting disintergration of it is the result.
The comment about being told about the red sand is funny.
Yeah the sand is red in Australia. I’m Irish but live in Australia now. I’ve always loved the mad max movies but one thing that is big to those of us outside the country is how uniquely apocalyptic and almost alien the first two movies can look.
Australia just looks like that once you get like 100km away from the coast.
The Iron Cross is not a nazi symbol. I digitally modeled a statue that used to exist in my town and I researched the subject before I modeled that part.
6:16 - Bug-eye, tea-strainer look was revisited in Harkonnen servants (Dune (1984)
Apparently the truck crash at the climax was considered so dangerous that that the stunt driver was forbidden from eating anything for 12 hours before filming, so that if something went wrong he could be taken straight into surgery!
Max left the compound just before dawn, knowing they were going to make their breakout at dawn. He sacrificed himself by driving through the raiders camp to make them follow him so the others would get a head start.
Max never sacrificed himself in MM2. What makes the story interesting is that the protagonist has no arc - he is only concerned about his own survival. How did you arrive at this take? The subtext is so obvious.
@@sal44287 it is obvious he uses himself as bait so the rest have a chance - go watch the movie again and pay attention to detail.
Please Do Mad Max (1979). It's A Great And Underrated Revenge Flick.
"Madness put to music!"
18:50, Max saves the guy who's wearing cricket gloves 🤣🤣🤣
Do you think Max would have risked his life saving that guy if his tanks were full of juice at that moment?
One of many RW inspirations is a film called "The Cars that ate People"
The Duster is a Great War Royal Flying Corps pilots coat. His helmet is 1939-40 Royal Air Force
Watching this, I'm so happy to hear you plan on doing Beyond Thunderdome.
I love this movie from beginning to end as it is a perfect example of visual storytelling with very minimal dialogue. An opinion I once had was that I wanted to see Max throw down with both The Humongous and Wez, especially with some of the implications as to just how badass Humongous is. I have since tossed that opinion by the wayside as the film is perfect the way it is. Besides, Max did throw down with the baddies...and Won as he had the more powerful vehicle.
The Road Warrior is one of my all time favourite movies of all time, especially from a technical perspective, and seeing a channel as big as CinemaWins cover such an underappreciated and little-known film just warms my heart. I'd like to see a video about the original Mad Max as well!
Can we get an Everything great about Prince of Egypt?
I love the theory that the ferral kid is the new Max played by Tom Hardy.
4:28 There is no way Cinemawins referenced a niche outtake from a British children’s TV show of a beloved puppet dog… 🤔
I think the part where Bruce carries Max back on his gyroscope , represents his humanity returning to him, which explains why he agrees to drive truck, no strings, because he doesn’t want the people to be ripped to shreds, Max is the guardian angel of the wasteland and his purpose is to save the innocent
