Hardy struggled badly with director instruction throughout and was very unhappy with his performance and what he was allowed do until he saw the movie, in which his max is exactly as miller wished

Something I've always wondered: "Master" (of Master Blaster fame) from Thunderdome: was he supposed to be the hulking simpleton from the first Mad Max movie?

xpost You mean Blaster, the big guy? There's a line in Thunderdome after he's revealed about him just being a child.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 4 January 2021 17:10 (three years ago) link
Oh yeah, meant Blaster. I thought the "just a child" remark alluded to his mind state. I recall hulking dude in first movie to be very childlike. And of course I really wanted that Easter egg.
― henry s, Monday, 4 January 2021 18:51 (three years ago) link
Yeah, they probably meant mental state. Either way, there's no real timeline at work here. Each movie features just a few faint echos of the one that came before.

the first thing the movie does is put Hardy in his iconic Dodge Charger
his iconic fuckin' what

Ah, thanks. There's a dude down the street with a black Charger he is always revving, and whenever I see him zip past I think of Mad Max.

also for being very confused about what "iconic" means
― shivers me timber (sic), Monday, 4 January 2021 21:40 (three years ago) link
Wait, I got the car wrong, but how is the black muscle car not iconic? It's the car associated with Mad Max?

We be awesome if instead of a dog Max had an iconic muscle cat. Which, lol, apparently exist.

Today I learned that car was uniquely Australian! I didn't even know that country had cars back then, at least cars that didn't eat people.

I thought the whole point of the Mad Max series was that it's futuristic because they have cars.

as opposed to the thriving industry today Wait, I got the car wrong, but how is the black muscle car not iconic? It's the car associated with Mad Max?
the clue is in the questions tbh
― shivers me timber (sic), Monday, 4 January 2021 22:09 (three years ago) link
Aren't the cars that eat people or at least Paris some of the same ones used in this film. Remember reading that several years ago.

Once lived on the same street as a bloke that had a Pursuit Special replica in MFP livery. Always parked it on the street.

Bruce Spence, for all of his comedy, really does some nice dramatic facial acting while watching the depravity of Wez and company on their poor victims
