Mad max fury road tvtropes
The board game Thunder Road (1986) "The ram and wreck survival game" is about driving through the post-apocalyptic desert and fighting with the other drivers.Signature Scene: The climactic car chase.It's pretty jarring to watch the two movies side-by-side and see just how much of Fury Road is essentially The Road Warrior updated to account for modern Hollywood standards of cinematography, writing, and costume design. Weirdly enough, the movie's own sequel contributes to this effect- Fury Road uses similar cinematography, but pushes all the shots Up to Eleven with bright coloring and massive sets, has even less dialogue ( George Miller apparently even edited a version with no dialogue at all), and while some elements of the "bondage gear" villain costumes are still present, they're pretty downplayed compared to the Humungus and limited to just one group of non-main villains (the People Eater and his Gas Town war party), though still unique compared to almost any contemporary Hollywood films.Flash forward 30-something years and the film has been imitated so much that a lot of the once-unique elements seem run-of-the-mill at best and parodic at worst to a modern viewer. The film's cinematography (particularly the wide-angle shots of the desert), sparse dialogue, and (at the time) unique, creative costuming were all highly praised when it first came out.
You wanna get outta here? You talk to me." Max's most famous piece of dialogue from the film, probably because it's the longest line he gets. "Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that'd haul that tanker.Humungus saying "Just walk away" is rather popular on message boards as advice for avoiding flame wars.The Lord Humungus also relies on intimidation tactics and shows himself to be shockingly well spoken, being the deadliest enemy in the Wasteland Max has to fight. A mastermind, the Lord Humungus causes the overthrow of his enemies and repeatedly outdoes them, even using misdirection like offering the settlement safe passage and a peace if they surrender the gasoline-only to reveal to his right hand man Wez he plans to allow Wez to take his revenge for his lover's death as soon as they have what they want. Magnificent Bastard: The eloquent Lord Humungus is 'the warrior of the Wasteland' and 'The Ayatollah of Rock'n'Rollah' who relentlessly scourges settlements in search of gasoline.The way Lord Humungous calms Wez down after the Boy's death is downright tender, in a BDSM/wrestler way. Ho Yay: No, not Wez and Golden Boy - that's almost text.
