Watched it for the first time in like 5 years and man, this movie is so good. The action, the characters, the visuals, everything. I really wish more action movies were like this. Also I wonder if the used squib effects :matt:

One of my fondest memories was going to see that one in the theater because my friends and I are all a bunch of movie nerds raised on shit like Fallout and Deathlands and Damnation Alley and, of course, the entire Mad Max film franchise.
We were losing our minds in that theater. When Furiosa attaches her "hand" to the face of.... I'm not gonna spoil it except to say "LET IT RIP!" we were levitating out of our goddamned chairs.
George Miller is a genius, and its not because he's singularly talented. He knows how to delegate and work with the talents of the people around him. His wife edited the film, and won the Academy Award for her work. I like to call them "The Georges" because its him and George Romero that really put the love of cinema into my head. Their work has a very tangible "humanity" that I've always loved, especially because their work specifically revolves around deconstructing society by analyzing the ways it could all fall apart. "There's gold in them there hills" as they do say.
As a superfan I was a little disappointed we didn't get to see a cameo by Bruce Spence in Fury Road because I really expected him to show up at some point. I fucking love that guy.
