POINTS TO PONDER (again) - People, let's come here

Post by **Uncle Entity** » Thu Mar 27, 2003 11:09 pm

Okay, okay, okay. We're ALL Mad Max fans, so let's go straight to the points - like Max's philosophy teached us ("It will be"):

1- Does you think Max (and the Bronzes) were paid for a lot? Or they ran just on the average budget? Keep in mind it was a very different line from ours. How did Max to buy such huge home on the beach, all in all?

2- How did the Nightrider to stole an Interceptor? For Christ sake, the Bronzes (apart Max) were MUCH WORSE and useless than Aunty's Guardsmen (Mmmmm never thought to it ! - maybe in MM1 & MM3 Miller wanted to suggest that when YOU are "invested" with the role of the "order-keeper", automatically you're a junk --- only the outlaws are really valiant and skillful, kind of...)

3- "Bronze"... is it really a common term, or just a Maxian term?

4- Have you never seen "THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR"? Someone claimed RW/MM2 ripped off a lot from this 1975 movie --- Long time ago I purchased the book, the novelization. I found a lot of "conceptual" similarities --- never seen the movie, so I can't speak about the "estetical similarities" - Can you?

5- Why after the final confrontation between Maximum Stomper (Max) and Big Foot (Ironbar Bassey) did the huge wreckage of Junkmobiles not explode in a big, fire mushroom? After all they were full of methane. Maybe methane is more sure than what we tend to think. Does you know how the whole methane vehicular powering thing work or could work in the Junkmobiles' system?

6- What damn did Max say to Scrooloose when the warrior caught him out of Maximum Stomper, on the edge of the canyon, near to the Flying Jalopy? Max said something like "moo pa" or "may pa" or something like that! Please, help me!

7- I think it was really dangerous... all those Junkmobiles at high speed on the sand... it's not easy... I read the maximum speed is 80 miles per hour... whoa!

Great stuff here. Let's chew it!

How about, how come there was a huge wreckage of junkmobiles at all? Max hits Ironbar head on, and somehow takes out 3/4 of the cars in pursuit. As he gets up, you can see smoldering hulks several hundred feet away. At most, Max's, Ironbar's, and maybe a couple of others should have been involved, tops.

Jedediah says they can't take off, because there's not enough runway. But, as Aunty & Co. approach at 80mph, there's enough time for Max to get out of the plane, get in the truck, accelerate to speed, and clear a path just as the plane takes off. I'd say when Jedediah makes the statement, there obviously is enough runway.

Why, after the wreck, does the plane not return for Max? He's obviously alive, as he's getting up as they fly overhead. Seems like they could have circled the area to see what Aunty was going to do to him.

Yeah and not. I mean: I think more Junkmobiles were involved in the wreckage. 5 or 6. 5, I would say. At the very end, when Aunty left the place, there were about three "survivor" Junkmobiles running away, I guess. Granted, more Guardsmen saved their lives... probably they jumped off on the remaining vehicles. If I'm not wrong, the remaining ones are: QUEEN WASP, ROCKET RIDE and BEETLE-ON-WHEELS.

Not at all, I think. We see the Junkmobiles running from the horizon JUST WHEN the Flying Jalopy stopped itself on the edge of the mesa. Granted, there wasn't enough runaway.

The plane flew away when Max was still unconscious. Anyway, it's a transaviar, you could't do what you want with an overweight transaviar, I can sure you! They did the best thing, flying away... the best thing for their lives, even.

i think the MFP were paid way more than the average copper, i know we never really see any 'blue' cops in the movie, but we kind of know their there to keep order in other areas of society, but their lives wern't at risk as much as the MAIN FORCE PATROL, who took non a particular kind of scum.

damn i posted before i'd finished.

BRONZE was only a MAD MAX term, i mean i dunno if its used anywhere else in the world, but it ain't in AUSTRALIA. simply because our police don't wair bronze badges

To SCROOLOOSE all max says is "comeon" while he pulls him to the plane, and savannah says "scrooey"

Rock,

As always thanks. I'm not still convinced about the Scrooloose part, anyway, I felt a dialogue much more different than a simple "Come on".

What's about the Junkmobiles?

your THUNDERDOME is english dubbed isn't it? cause thats what they say max ans savannah approach him she says "scrooey", and he says gravely "come on", the "on" is real quick barely heard. actually its said in the exact same voice he says "relax" to SLAKE in.

Post by **Uncle Entity** » Sun Mar 30, 2003 1:23 pm

Yeah, great! Mmmm... brillion! When did Max say "relax" to Slake, precisely?

@rockatansky 4073

about ordinary 'blue' cops in the movie.

During the scene with night accident, when Fif' is speaking with Max about the toecutter gang, there are regular police officers in the background. They use a white XB van and wear white trenchcoats and high riding boots.

BUBBA FAT, yeah i know dude, thats pretty much who i was referring to, plus the guy who they go to with CUNDALINI's hand, he was a 'normal' writing tickets cop, actually i think he was more of a detective.

UNCLE - its when SDAVANNAH's pullin on the leavin''. "if anyones got the juice to track with us" , then max grabs SLAKE's broken down rifle off him murmering "relax" to slake, pretty much saying 'don't worry mate i'm just gonna scare the stupid bitch into listening to me"
