MTV: So wait, the whole thing actually worked?

Colin Gibson (Production Designer): You bet your sweet… George — unfortunately — doesn’t like things that don’t work. I have in the past built him props that I thought were just supposed to be props, and then he goes, “Okay, plug it in now.”

The first version of the guitar which — I think I put too much into the flame thrower, not enough into the reverb. And yes, the flame throwing guitar did have to operate, did have to play, the PA system did have to work and the drummers… Unfortunately, I did get practice in all positions and I’ve got to tell you, the drumming was very uncomfortable at 70 [kilometers] an hour, eating sand.

[…] George actually had the guitarist come over, fairly early on in pre-production in Africa. And so he had a month or six weeks of getting used to it, of actually being able to play at full speed, while bungee jumping and blind.

That Insane ‘Mad Max’ Flame-Throwing Guitar Is No CGI Trick — Here’s How They Actually Made It (The truck made out of amps and speakers also isn’t a trick.) - by alex zalben

I THINK I PUT TOO MUCH INTO THE FLAME THROWER AND NOT ENOUGH INTO THE REVERB

#this turning point is a LOT #he starts from ‘i’m holding you guys at gunpoint’ and she’s just ‘babe if you’re gonna be here i kind of need your help soooo get over that mmkay?’ #and he’s like ‘wwhaaaaaat you’re literally trusting me with your lives? me??’ #[KICKED PUPPY FACE: ENGAGE] #‘i guess I’d better level up then from rabid animal back to humanoid thing - what do you need? I can be human if you need that.’ #and 2 minutes later he’s handing her loaded guns #AND THERE’S NO DIALOGUE TO BRIDGE THAT #it’s just ‘i’m going to trust you so be fucking trustworthy ok?’ and he takes it and runs with it #runs all the way back to humanity and using her redemption words back at her and having names #UUUUGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH (via harrietvane)

12 women are on screen, all with speaking roles, and none of them are talking about a man. It not only outpaces mediocre measurements like the Bechdel Test—which the vast majority of Hollywood films never attempt to pass—it reminds you how feeble they were as yardsticks to begin with.

Mad Max: Fury Road is everything you’ve heard and so much more

Just as important is Hardy’s choice to play Max as a subtle, quietly feminist hero. Max never objectifies the women he’s with, or views them as props for his own agenda. He helps when he’s asked to help, and when he finally speaks for any length of time, it’s not to take charge of a group that’s floundering without his help—it’s to make a suggestion, stand back, and then let the group decide.

This view of what equality actually looks like in a film is rare enough; but it’s even rarer to see it in this kind of genre material. Fury Road is every inch the high-testosterone, manly action movie of your dreams. And even when they show weakness, its female characters are still fully in charge of their own destinies.

What a good fight scene. This encounter could have been played a lot of ways, some of them unsavory given we start with one armed man and six unarmed women,.but the most terrified character here is easily Max. The Five Wives are frightened, but more angry and fed up, and Furiosa is just, well, furious. Meanwhile, Max spends the first half of the film acting like a nervous stray on the verge of fear-biting.

This is it exactly. Max keeps flicking the guns around and snatching things because he’s honestly on the very edge of panic. He’s just been chased down, tattooed, used as an unwilling blood donor, made a hood ornament, nearly died in a car chase and dust storm like 5 million times, and is plagued by hallucinations on a GOOD day. Everything he does up until he starts realizing Furiosa needs his help and she TRUSTS him is someone fueled completely by terror. It says something about Furiosa that she figures out very quickly that Max isn’t so much a threat as he’s also a victim, useful, and SCARED.

Something my boyfriend pointed out is that Max is remembering how to talk through the first chunk of the movie.

I thought he was just grunting and stuff because “rawr I am a badass male action hero man” and didn’t wanna use words. But no, no he’s remembering how to talk. He’s been wandering the desert for who knows how long, not speaking to another soul, hallucinating, and when he’s confronted by the Wives and Furiosa he can barely communicate beyond the violence he’s been subjected to at the hands of the War Boys and in his interactions previous to that. He remembers how to speak as the movie progresses.
