Fucking disappoints me that the interceptor is barely in Fury Roads, such an awesome car and it's hardly in it[/QUOTE]
To be fair it was barely in any of the films

The first and the second one had a great amount of time dedicated to it. The third one is basicly all about him getting his stuff back after that slack jawed skyman stole it from him.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;47952656]I know The Last Of The V8s is badass and what every fan wants, but I still like the "stock" MFP designs the best. They're sorta futuristic, but very 80s.

I like the Interceptor the best, but the yellow cars are really underappreciated. I'd probably build one of them before an Interceptor if I had the choice, nobody really does them.

It was only in about half of the second film and only really in the end of the first
[QUOTE=confinedUser;47951697]that movie kinda reminds me of borderlands[/QUOTE]
I mean there's a character named Mad Moxxi who hosts the underdome......
That's awesome... FYI if anyone's curious, there are companies out there that for a lump of money will track down an XB (can't really get the GT's any more but you can fake that easy enough) and will completely restore and convert it for you.
When I was a kid, my dad used to deal in classic muscle cars a LOT (among other classics) and was pretty close with the fellow who had ownership of the original Interceptor down at Broken Hill. During one of our road trips down to Adelaide back then, I was lucky enough to meet the guy and dad had arranged for us to see the car (my brother and I were huge Mad Max fans even as little kids), but even better, when we got there he said "Hop in". Couldn't believe it it... still got the negatives at home somewhere, in and around the car, that was like a dream come true. Sadly around 99 or 2000 some fuckwit went and ripped one of the fuel tanks off the car and stole it, and the guy stopped letting anyone view the cars. The other cars in the movie, the Cobra 4x4 and some buggy shells and such were (are?) at Broken Hill too, but out in the weather and rotting away.
I also had the chance to sit in, have a drive in and help restore a BEAUTIFUL red 1976 XB GT coupe... man what a car, red on black. Dad wanted me to have it when I got older, but sadly the muscle car market was insane at the time and there was just too much money invested in it to keep it. We're talking close to $200,000 cash at the time changing hands on that car.
I've always had my eye on a MM Interceptor replica. Money though, ugh.

WE'LL SEE YOU ON THE ROAD, SKAG!
i'm not dumb, i just don't watch many movies or TV really because television is shit and movies just bore the crap out of me a majority of the time, I'd rather just smoke a bowl and learn and understand computer programming languages instead because atleast that's something worth spending time on.

your loss, when the apocolypse comes, you'll[I] want[/I] to know how to dress like an 80s badass, and how to preserve precious guzzaline
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;47952586]Having not seen the originals yet, where did it depart? Unless [sp]the interceptor was supposed to be impervious to truck-smashings, how does smashing it with some trucks invalidate things?[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]The exact same car is shown being used by Max in The Road Warrior, where it is destroyed by the bandits. Fury Road is supposed to take place in the same timeline, just between Mad Max and The Road Warrior. But we see it destroyed, rebuilt with a different appearance, and then destroyed again.[/sp]

Miller has stated that all the movies besides the first are basically just tales of the road warrior. They may have not even all happened. He said if he [I]had[/I] to decide where in a timeline it fit it'd probably be then.

Pretty sure it's set after Road Warrior and probably Thunderdome, his jacket is all stitched up at the shoulder from where the claw dude wounded him in MM2. In MM2 it's stated that his car is the last of the V8 Interceptors, so the one in Fury Road can't be a different one but it's not entirely unreasonable to say he salvaged the wreckage from MM2 and had it rebuilt.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;47964277]its very likely the movies are in different continuities, max had a dead baby son and wife, not a dead preteen daughter and wife
also after thunderdome hes like 50 so yeah[/QUOTE]
Yeah the more I think about it the more my head hurts.
[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;47964480]Yeah the more I think about it the more my head hurts.[/QUOTE]
Here's another one. Max was a grown man with a career before the war. Charlize Theron is about as old as he is. Yet she was born in the wastes after the end of civilization.
Yeah I just thought of that one about 10 minutes ago.
I did hear a theory though that [sp]New Max is actually the feral kid from MM2. At the end of 2 he says that he lived to become the chieftain of the tribe, but the theory is that the tribe was attacked and wiped out leaving him as the only survivor, which is why he has visions of the people he failed to protect. He then is forced to wander the wastes and comes across Real Max, who passes all his stuff down to him before dying. Feral kid then takes Max's name to try and escape his failure and lives as Max did. This is how the music box appears in Fury Road after Max gave it to the Feral Kid in MM2.[/sp]
Again it's a theory, but I think it's a good one.
I chuckled a bit when I saw the music box.
God damn, you used to be able to pick up a shell a xa,xb,xc shell for around 4-7k or a project gt coupe for around 12k. Since the hype around the movie in the last two years prices have gone to like 25k for a falcon 500 coupe, it sucks cause I really wanted to restore one.
