Fury Road is probably the best Mad Max movie. I really like all 4 though.
I just never understand the timeline. Society still seems somewhat functional in Mad Max then devolves into utter chaos in the opening of Road Warrior. Thunderdome and Fury Road seem like they take place 100 years after the first film if not more.
Also, one thing I never noticed is that the antagonist of the first and fourth films are played by the same guy.

Yeah the first one is pretty hard to take seriously now. It's got that 70s funkiness to it.

It was also made for less than half a million dollars

They pretty much just had random people come out for a lot of the roles. Gibson was a complete unknown at the time. Some of about how low budget it actually is and how they cut corners is pretty cool. It was either the first one or the second one, but I think they actually used football equipment that was just laying around at some of the cast members houses as costumes. They told cast to just wear what they had laying around their house.

Here's some cool trivia from the first:
This is from the Road Warrior. It was probably what I was thinking of when I made the comment about the costumes.
quote:
The "get-out-of-jail-free card" that Goose gives the triker was an on-set joke. Because of the limited budget, the biker gang was an actual biker gang (the Vigilantes), and they had to ride to the set each day in-costume; often with their prop weapons displayed. Since the production company expected them to be pulled over by the local police, each was given a letter explaining the film's peculiar requirements, and asking for law-enforcement's understanding and cooperation.
quote:
In a 2015 interview with The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith podcast George Miller said that it was not the intention when the script was written to set it in a post-apocalyptic world. This was done because they didn't have the money for extras and properly maintained buildings. In order to cover for this production value limitation the title card was added to the beginning explaining the story was set after a world war. This also accounts for why there is generally more of an established society in this film then any of the sequels.

The costume department assembled the costumes by raiding - amongst others - junk shops, second hand clothing stores, sporting outlets and S&M shops.

It's not the low budget effects that I hate. It's the glam bad guys straight out of west side story
Ok not west side story. But a bunch of Alice coopers acting more goofy than menacing. In that 70s way.

I thought thunderdome was great and the one I'm most looking forward to seeing the remake of.
Really was glad to hear they have 3 more coming.
