If they bring back Mel. Otherwise, a big fat *NO*!
Have you ever approached a crowded NYC porta-potty? Getting almost knocked out by the smell 5 feet away from it, much less reaching for the door-handle?

 When BIG LOB needs to go, he walks right in. Thats how man he is.
Watched Mad Max 2 last night and it's still amazing, only realised then, that was the movie that made me fall in love with the post apocalypse.
Interesting point from George in that vid on Hollywood syphoning of Aussie talent too.
I wasn't looking forward to this. Yet when Moriarty went nuts over the script. That got my attention.
...I don't want to hear anything about this movie ever again.
Sorry but a Mad Max without the original Mad Max is just stupid!
Mel=Mad Max. End of Story.
Anyone else playing Mad Max is unacceptable.
We will accept Mel/Mad Max in a secondary role if necessary. This isn't ideal, but will be considered acceptable.
Finally, we will consider accepting a movie based on a different character in the same universe. Preferably female.
Can't wait for this, hoping it will be more in the vein of Mad Max or The Road Warrior, than Thunderdome.
Dick In Ass.
We all want to see the master of this, Miller, come back to work. But he really has a high standard to live up to, and things have changed over the years, the bar has been lifted in this kind of film. I only want him to do this if he can do it incredibly well. Films like Mad Max, Escape From New York, and others back in the day have become legendary. Righty so. And the film Doomsday was, in my opinion, a great homage to the post-apocalyptic world. But can a master come back and have it in him after all these years still? Can he really raise the bar? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, is anyone really going to except a fourth film if Mel Gibson is not in it? Despite the fact that I think it would be the absolute BEST thing Gibson could do for his career, I some how doubt he will. Hence, if they bring in a new actor (Thomas Jane, best choice in my opinion), what are they going to do, call him MAX and have it be a remake of the first? A re-imagining? Or have it be Max's son or something? Audiences are sensitive these days to this sort of thing, we don't just want another film, we want a film that preserves the history and integrity of the originals. I look forward to this, but with some concern for sure. DO IT RIGHT PLEASE! Get Gibson back if at all possible!!!!
I hope gibson is so totally snubbed like the shat was in the new star trek
I Think Mel Gibson will probably do this if.....the script is good...and they have all the financing in place with his big ass check. I Think the problem has been.. a lot of development and talk, no concrete dates, and no secure financing. In that video he's still talking about another year developing the cars which was his story about 10 years ago.
Waaah, waaah, he was horrible in T:S, waaah
This can't be said enough. Don't fuck this George.
Most fans want to see Mel in action again, combined with Miller's vision...They don't want some "re-imagining" or some such nonsense. In other words without Mel there is very little demand for this movie. Does Miller realize this?
is that the toecutter with the massive barnet in the foreground or George Miller?
He's doing it cause he wants to. Doesn't care if it makes no money and he never works again - which is what will likely happen.
him and his tater haid
Mad Max 2 looks like it was a total slaughterhouse :P
Mel=Max. No Mel, no Max, no me in theater.

Search your heart, you know it to be true.
George Miller is the creator, here. It should be No George Miller, no Road Warrior. Mel Gibson is a prop with a good profile. Time to move on.
How the hell are they going to top those stunts or that visceral kind of action?
Everything i've read points to this being more like Road Warrior instead of Thunderdome. Thunderdome wasn't even Miller's idea, it was the producer who wanted that disney crack in the earth story. Miller was always more into the high octane car culture aspect like from the first two movies. In my opionion Thunderdome is the biggest 3rd installment tragedy of ANY trilogy, that includes Godfather 3, Return of the Jedi (which i'm defender of actually), XMen 3, fucking it is an absolute shit opera that movie. Everything is fucked even from the very start of the credits when Tina Turner starts singing in contrast to MM1 and 2's subtle trumpets.
Why does George Miller suck Rhinoceros balls when it comes to casting his movies now days?
that's why we love Mel Gibson!
he's like 80 now. someone new can play that role
your on the road, doing 30 on your way home when suddenly you see two lights in the rear view mirror closing impossibly fast...'what the fuck? that cars comin pretty fucking fast' you think....then you hear sirens...'what the fuck is this?' you think....you slow down and sorta pull to left so let whatever this is go past...you look out your window just in time and see a fleeting glimpse of a Thunderdome era MAD MAX roar past doing 90 with the cops in hot pursuit!! just like at the start of The Road Warrior!!! Fuck me that wouldve been TOTAL AWESOME! so what if he slipped up and said a bunch of bad things - he was in Mad Max 2.....FUCKING M A D M A X 2!!!
...you nerd and retard privileges are now revoked. You don't get to be enraged, and your strength has melted away.
Your recent comments will be your undoing.
 You are nothing.
badass incarnate. cardboard boxes? are you fucking kidding me? those motherfuckers smack your mom, you ask her what the fuck she did?

what with all the other 80s action stars coming out for their belated 4th installment (Willis, Ford, Sly).....it should be - if theres no Mel then theres no Mad Max 4 PERIOD!
 I mean for Christsake they tried to make him look older in Road Warrior and Thunderdome with grey hair etc...now he is actually older and beat up looking he dosnt wanna do it or Miller dosnt want him?!?
 Surely it can still happen...especially now the aging action man thing is in full flow with Sly & Co doing The Expendables - and hell even Mel in Edge of Darkness!!…and Mels still only in his early 50s!! Way younger than Sly or Ford… and he really needs a big fat blockbuster to blast him back to the big time after that whole jewrant/drinking episode -
 another LW would be a bit of a hard sell and I can understand Gibson not wanting to do that as hes already done his belated 4th LW 10 years ago (and that felt like a needless add on...no mullet either! that was as bad as no hair on McClane in DH 4)...in fact wasnt it fast tracked into production cause Warners had a gap in their summer schedule due to Burtons Superman Lives falling through?
 But a hard R rated Miller directed Mad Max 4 would blast him back - Fans and movie goers in general would want to see Mel as Max again (people would see it just out of curiosity) esp if its more Road Warrior than Beyond Thunderdome...(and so long as its R rated - if they were adamant it had to be PG 13..like DH 4, AvP, T4 then fuck it - there would be no point in having Mad Max with his balls cut off.)...oh and not much CGI..I would hope Miller would use CGI only when absolutely necessary (e.g. bringing the apocalyptic wastelands and ruined cities to life)..and NOT FOR ANY STUNTS!! stunts would have to be real...there'd be little point otherwise.
 If there is to be no Mel (and I sincerely hope to fuck that there is) then at least have Fury Road about the Ferrel Kid or Maxs long lost son or something (Bana or Worthington are the best choices) with Mels Mad Max as a mythical figure….mentioned - but never seen (like Douglas in Basic Instinct 2 - LOL sorry couldn't think of any other example) or better still an extended cameo like Brandos Kurtz …
 we want Gibson back as Max for the whole movie right? i can see the trailer already... clips of Max from the previous 3 with voice over from MM2 (the grown up ferrel kid)...'but most of all..I remember The Road Warrior...he lives now..only in my memories...'...then camara blasts onto a new interceptor (similar to opening MM2 shot) being pursued by battered old cop cars with sirens going...camara zooms in on Gibson at the wheel looking all of his 50 years with stubble and greying hair at the sides..looks p i s s e d off....then showy fast cuts showing stuff like the apocalyptic wastelands, ruined citys, huge gangs in cars and trucks blasting each other in the open highways, max in beat up black leathers blowing scum away with a sawn off..turns to camara and blasts it...dark...then titles come up:
 MAX MAX: FURY ROAD...A George Miller film..starring Mel Gibson...Summer 2011....rated R

hahahahhaha. thank you. you just made me laugh out loud.
Cant remember exactly but isn't there like a police photo or something when the big H opens his revolver case??
and his imitation of curly
I'd prefer a post-Thunderdome Max played by a 50 year old Gibson. If you go with a younger actor like Worthington, then you'd have to tell a story that happened pre-Thunderdome since Max is easily in his forties in that film. Fuck that I say.
that takes place in his 20s-30s. cast someone new. not sam worthington.
does'nt care if Sly is making Rocky 7 or if Swines get Flu but wants a bulked up Paddy Considine to play Max

Rockatansky - isnt that a jewish surname?
Dude looks like he has Down Syndrome.
I hope to god Dr. Miller is shooting "Fury Road" in anamorphic, and not sanitized anamorphic like "Crystal Skull", either. I'm talking C-Series lenses with all the artifact trimmings.
It might be cool anyway, but Mel Gibstein would add that extra Mad that would put it above remake/prequel/rehash status.
Harry, thanks for posting that video, i've not seen it before but always admired the incredibly brave stunt work in MM2.
 Also great to hear that Mel 'might' be back playing Max and that the Tom Hardy story from last week was debunked.
 If Miller does go with Mel then MAD MAX: FURY ROAD will be my most anticipated forthcoming movie alongside THE HOBBIT. Bring it on!
Fifi Mcaffee was NOT Humungus. Roger Ward is a friend of mine and he did not play the role and in my opinion the character was just a bodybuilder gone bad, not Max's captain.
Now in wheelchair (the character), and singing the title tune titled: "We do need a hero after all"
wtf? all these old film series' are coming back lately with their original stars and I'm loving it: Die Hard, Rocky, Rambo, Indy- so why not just bring back good old Max?? besides Thundermome sucked anyway- let this be Millers apology for that nonsense.
Just check out the trailer for EDGE OF DARKNESS!! Gibson still has what it takes to go post-apocalyptic!!!
"It could be Mel [Gibson], it could be anyone". - George Miller
Mel is still more than capable of carrying a movie like this and he's still badass. Why not continue the series? Are they afraid he's not bankable anymore?
There are still lots of anti-semites in Poland. Recast it, get someone properly Australian, as Mel has decided he's an American after all.
I think it's probly up to Gibson, if he does it then that's that, if he won't do it we gotta accept somebody else. This is the first time I've seen Miller talk about it without saying Gibson isn't interested, so hopefully they're trying to convince him.
 But if he won't do it, fuck it, I want another George Miller Mad Max movie. I'm not signing onto the terms of your deal. Yes Mel is great in the other movies, but is he as great as those car crashes? No. Look at Miller there talking about how he's gonna "nudge the genre." That's what I want to see. This movie would be awesome even if it starred one of you guys. Hopefully Mel will do it though and that won't be necessary.
 Also, I gotta call bullshit on this anti-Thunderdome nonsense. Yeah, it's different from the other two, and gets corny in a few moments with the kids swinging around. But come on man, fucking Barter Town? Thunderdome? Master and Blaster? "Break a deal and face the wheel"? "Gulag! Gulag! Gulag!"? The chase at the end?
 I can't believe we're in a world where DOOMSDAY is considered acceptable but people will whine about god damn THUNDERDOME. Go watch it again. Worst of the trilogy and still brilliant.
Especially Sam fucking Worthington. And Thunderdome was atrocious, you're not going to convince us otherwise.
but hey if Ford can get back into those Indy pants and jump into a fridge.....Maybe Mel can do the same.
Miller is Mad Max.
Everybody knows when Fury Road is over. The audience is going to walk out and say that was great, but it would have been awesome if Mel was in it.
it basically took one man - Peter Jackson - to create a functioning, sustainable film industry in New Zealand. Not even Murdoch, with his mighty Fox empire, can do a damn thing for his homeland
shit he said while three sheets to the wind -- Mel is Max. No Mel = no interest.
he could club bad guys with his sagging nut-sack.
We just need to bring Mel hoooome!
 All we want if life beyond Thunderdome!
this should be greatness
The y at the end is common in many Eastern Europen surnames.
when you said Gibson was "like 80". Go fantacize about Shia being the new Indy Jones.
Actors get bored and start smirking in scenes and lounging around the set with their poker buddies.
 Get a new unknown. Jettison the baggage. Cut in the nitrous oxide.
and not just out of nostalgia either. I actually watched it within the last year and dug the hell out of it. And yes, this needs Mel back as Max.
... has gone terribly wrong."
I just don't feel it in my bones.
...the demands are fair and reasonable.
Join us.
 With my ideological purity and your tobacco stained silver tongue can make a better future.
Why is the original car there? It was the LAST one and it got blown up...
This is one time where if they're gonna do it without the original actor reprising the role that it should definitely be a reboot, not a supposed continuation.
 I'd say the same goes for The Evil Dead. Although for the love of Deadites don't remake The Evil Dead!
Read an essay years ago about the Mad Max trilogy. In MM, he has something to live for and begins to break at the end. In the RW, he's completely antisocial and his feeling towards humanity are confirmed when he's fucked by being given the truck full of sand to drive. In MMBT, he regains a bit of humanity due to the kids believing him to be their savior. He comes full circle as a character in the 3 movies.
Miller said that the cars will be patched up from many different ones so i guess they got that wreck frmo 2 and did that, it kind of looks different.
A poster by the name of SubliminalJones originated this post, and the following story outline, one that I think is ingenious, as I told him. I hope you are as impressed with it as I am...and bring it to the attention of George Miller and the releasing studio. Anyway, this is my good deed for today. May this turn into something good for the person who authored it!!! Sincerely, MM

 The following is Subliminal Jones' post, as it originally appeared on AICN.

 My dream Mad Max 4; make Gibson the antagonist

 by SubliminalJones Oct 23rd, 2009 08:00:21 AM

 Post apocalyptic Sydney is on the mend, a workable society with a government run by older versions of The Gyro Captain, Anna Goanna, Slake and all the others we saw at the end of Thunderdome. Then, out of the wasteland comes a vicious barbarian horde that wants the city for themselves. That horde is led by chieftan Max, who has gone nutty from wandering around the desert for 25 years. Max is now the Humungus, Wez and Auntie Entity all rolled into one. At some point in the story, he realizes he is making war on those he once risked his life to save, and has to make the decision of who to stand with. Now that I'd pay to see. Some reboot with Tom Hardy and Theron? Feh.
What do you think of Subliminal's outline?
...but that article gives me the faintest of hope that Gibson could possibly return. The story of Mad Max is one that I would love to see finished more than any other movie series I can think of. I know no one cares, but I can remember watching those movies as a youngster, and to see Mel as Max again would just about make me feel like a kid one more time. Maybe Mel's a crazy wackjob, but I don't fucking care. If they cast someone else as Max, it will TRULY be a sad day for a lot of people. And for the record, I think Thunderdome was a great movie. It went in a different direction, and had a different feel, but it was unique.
I absolutely agree with everything you say 100%
 let me also reiterate what I previously said about Mel Gibson - there is NO WAY anyone in a position to make this film happen is going to let Miller cast Gibson in this, no matter what Miller's own position may happen to be-
 -which, btw, from memory I believe Miller was on the outrage bandwagon when the whole Anti-Semitism fiasco blew up in Mel's face.
 regardless, this is MILLER'S property and I really couldn't care less if it features Gibson's tired old "mad" shtick (which was slightly distracting by the second Lethal Weapon movie and downright embarrassing by the time he got to Conspiracy Theory) or not.
 I'd be just fine with some other (better) actor in the role, although I would hope he can pull off a convincing Australian accent - shouldn't be too difficult with all that Aussie talent out there which Miller seems eager to tap...
In the second film the mechanic says "The Last of the V8 interceptors". It makes no sense to have it in the new film.
(…wait, that came out wrong) but, apparently you really dug it. Can you see a strong place for Gibson?
That lil' dude is reboot gold, people.
Ahhhh....its back..one of the baddest movie cars of all time. Which means 1 of two things...either Max builds another one, or this is really a reboot...because he loses the original in The Road Warrior as you all know
please...Harry. a few reports or reviews without you using that word...would be a relief. a breath of fresh air. "Giddy"...like a little girl. God Bless George Miller. and bless Alex Cox for Repo Man while im at it.

 This is the same type thing as fundie muslims and just as dangerous in its own way
Tina turner with beyonce "I married a camel" knowles I will watch this.
I haven't seen it in years and I don't remember it well. I recall being a bit disappointed because there wasn't much car action. Now that I think about it though, it had plenty of cool stuff in it. I really need to check it out again. After this long, it'll be like a brand new movie.
I know. I'm theplant. They're just waiting for Edge of Darkness to be out, to make the billing announcement.
Media Messiah: They've had this movie written, designed and storyboarded for several years. To give you an idea, they were about to start filming when the Iraq war started. Nothing against the talkback pitch you found but I think Miller will stick with his original plan.
 Star Hump - when I hadn't seen it for a while I remembered it as having NO car action, and was pleasantly surprised by the awesome climactic chase. But part of what I think is brilliant about it is that at the very beginning Max gets knocked off his car and becomes a damn pedestrian! Then he spends the movie trying to get it back. Now Miller wants to try to top the car stunts in ROAD WARRIOR, and I can't wait. But back then I think it was ingenious to take a u-turn like that. (that is a car pun)
—but that's being said, it still got some pretty good stuff (among them Tina Turner in that low cut chain-mail thingie) and some nice action set pieces. I'd like to see it in widescreen version. It looked gorgeous on the big screen back in the day.
I haven't been keeping up on this movie at all, but is it official that Mel Gibson is going to have nothing to do with it?
Now Im really lookng forward to checking out Thunderdome again. And nice car pun.
Here's what Miller said in the interview Harry linked to: "It could be Mel, it could be anyone, in fact I'm looking around at these faces to see if anyone's quite interesting here," Miller said.
 There's a ghost of a chance...and if it happens it'll be one of the biggest moments in genre movie history, at least for those of us who recall the first 3 films as they were released. (I only caught Mad Max on VHS but saw the other 2 in the theater. I imagine it was that way for a lot of us olds.)
cast Mel as Mad Max (there is NO OTHER PATH to success), drop in Verne Troyer as a grown (pun quite intended) version of the Feral Kid, don't skimp on the car chases, blow up EVERY motherfuckin' thing (incl. Verne; maybe a suicide bombing, albeit with good intentions), and work Lance Henriksen into the cast (that goes without saying, but it had to be said nevertheless). I want no shred of PC bullshit to taint what should be a modern-day action masterpiece. Sly is showing it can--- and WILL--- be done with "The Expendables". Surely George Miller can follow suit.
Make it happen.
Sorry, there are some characters that cannot be recast. It's mostly a function of them being characters created specifically for the screen, large or small. Imagine someone else essaying any of these characters: Indiana Jones, Han Solo, Col. Steve Austin, Karl Kolchak, Max Rockatansky. The respective actors OWN these roles, and it would be nigh impossible for another actor to step into them.
I'm aware of how old the existing script is, but everything is virtual, and subject to change in Hollywood, the reason why I brought the fan outline up. But who knows, if Miller isn't interested, it might be good for a character like Riddick and any Chronicles Of Riddick sequels?

I recall a legendary fan made script for the first Matrix sequel--it was so good that, after seeing the resulting movie, I have to say, Joel Silver and the Wachowskis, who were well aware of that script ahead of shooting the first Matrix sequel, should have ditched their own script, and made the fan script, their shooting script.
Right as rain (love the Bionic Man inclusion BTW; most apt).
To answer NippleEffect--- "You people are aware that gibson is insane, right?". That's the WHOLE FUCKIN' POINT, dude. Max as a character may be a badass, but he's so far off the grid it's like Columbus sailing over the edge of the planet. Axiomatic, as well it should be.
I'm assuming that he'll get that very last interceptor back at least as a scorched hull and then patch it up? The front of it looks kind of different from the one from 2 so i geuss that's what they mean. That or it was a stupid fucking idea to toast that car without looking at the future.

by theycallmemrtibbs
was the pace of it. The first two were sweet and to the point. Beyond Thunderdome required somewhat of an attention span, It was way too long.
 However, It had a lot of great things going for it Master and Blaster being some of them and it was beautifully shot. I always thought Tina Turner would've been a kick ass Storm back during that era.
He was the glue that held things together with Miller and Gibson. He died in a helicopter crash while scouting locations for Mad Max 3. I think that changed the spirit of things for everyone involved, when it came to any sequels. The whole story is very sad, what happened to him at the top of his career. He was a young man...just coming into his own.
I'm so bored with all this revisiting/rebooting crap.
Thunderdome is great. Mythic, beautiful photography - streets ahead of the crap we get today. And Dark Knight Lite is correct - no Mel would be like Spielberg and Lucas casting Shia as Indiana Jones for Crystal Skull.
I never knew that. Shit.
I want real people risking their lives for my entertainment!
from that line in the article 'Could be Mel..could be anyone'...it sounds like Miller wants him....
 if it is just Mel not being interested then he should just bite and go for it...i mean whats he got to lose? NOTHING...hed gain about 20 or 30 million - i know thats just chump change to Mel now (even after his divorce) but he NEEDS fans support more than ever - doing Max 4 would make him seem wonderful in the eyes of movie goers once again and cut him some much needed slack from people in general if he and Miller delievered an all out classic Mad Max 4...he could be like the Comeback kid like Elvis in 68...ok i know some people would still hate him for the DUI/jew thing but hed win the majority over with a Mad Max 4
 its upsetting to think he could let this great oppertunity slip through...not just for the fans but for Mel....
...you cock-eyed retarded bitch.
it really is like having indy without ford or hannibal without hopkins, this might work out but it will still feel wrong. they ruined terminator, star wars aliens...theres no way im watching this without mel, not that my one ticket sale will matter. mels a fucking tool but hes still mad max. no mel no interest
"A piece of history! It would have been a shame to blow it up."
Barter Town is one of the coolest creations to ever hit the screen and yeah...it gets a little bizarro in the second half, but why not? It was completely different...I dig that. I wouldn't HATE it if they brought in someone new...just don't call him Max.
Because that PG-13 Die Hard 4 was really hardcore, not.
I was a kid when he died, but I recall reading the story when I was a kid. It was in a magazine called Starlog. Anyway, his name is Byron Kennedy. It has been a time since I read about him, the reason I did not properly recall his first name. Anyway, I just looked up his story on the net. Here you go.

 Byron Kennedy - Producer

 Byron Kennedy was always interested in film making, and had been making movies since he was at school. He began with an 8mm camera, which he built with spare parts from other discarded cameras! He used this camera to make short dramas, enacted by his high school mates.

 While still working as an amateur, Byron won several international awards with short films he had made, and began producing documentaries and television commercials. In the early 1970's he lectured at various student film schools, and it was through this work that he first met George Miller, at a summer film school in 1971. They teamed up, and began making short features and experimental films, including "Violence In The Cinema, Part 1", which Byron produced, photographed and edited. It won two Australian Film Institute (AFI) awards, and became one of the first independent short films which was distributed commercially within Australia.

 Byron's resourcefulness on previous projects slotted him nicely into the role of Producer on Mad Max. It was a highly demanding, complex production, and had Byron performing such activities as driving stunt vehicles, operating cameras (for which he had also acquired the free use of the Todd AO lenses), and acquiring a variety of other services and items in whatever way he could, given the low budget of the film. He even provided a 'live hand' for a special effects dummy, and had a hand in making the final soundtrack for the film.

 Byron at the start of Mad Max 2

 Following the success of Mad Max, Byron Kennedy and George Miller travelled to the US for more than a year, to develop their skills as film makers. After much studying they felt that they had finally learned the elements which had made Mad Max the success it was, and although initially they had not intended to follow the film with a sequel, the eventually returned to Australia to begin production on Mad Max 2.

 Again, Byron took a very hands on approach in the production. As much as George Miller was driven by telling the story, Byron was driven by the action. As well as his skills in stunt driving, Byron had also become a qualified plane and helicopter pilot. His love of high energy, high speed excitement obviously contributed strongly to the action seen on screen in Mad Max 2.

 Byron and crew, examining the aftermath of the truck wreck.

 Tragically, his love of flying would also lead to his untimely death. On July 17, 1983, the helicopter which Byron was piloting crashed into a lake while flying at low altitude, and Byron was killed. Although initially hesitant to continue the Mad Max story without Byron, George Miller ultimately went on to create one more film in the series, dedicating it to the man who had started the Mad Max journey with him.
I always wondered about the 'For Byron...' credit at the end of Thunderdome.

Whoever wrote Verne Troyer for FURY ROAD is genius.
 Imagine Max coming across a gang of malicious motorized midgets, all black leathered up, dusty and packing mini-crossbows. Led by tiny Verne - the opposite of the 'humungous'.
 There's gotta be 15 minutes of golden screen time in that concept.
The thing I liked about THE ROAD WARRIOR was no one looked like they were acting too hard in it.
 It was like they recruited a bunch of Aussiew blokes to play Humungous's gang, gave them some tents, some beer and some motorbikes and said 'Okay mates. just knock yourselves out' and then just filmed the shit they got up to.
his Pursuit Special got blown up in the middle of the second one, thanx to the booby trap - but somehow it magically appears in the third one, booby trap and all...
 huh? when did the twelve pounds of dynamite get unblown up? the Interceptor itself looks pretty messed up and I can buy somebody salvageing it for parts, but the BOOBY TRAP?
 otherwise I really loved Bartertown and especially dug the little nod to it in Jericho
but still the whole project looks interesting and promising.Lets see what time will tell.
without him you're better off shitcannig this production. I agree MIller s probobly testing out his bankability with his latest release before deciding on casting him (or where to cast him in thie movie)....If Millers a smart man he'd use Mels real life issues to his advantage and make Mel a leader of a cult this time, as suggested above... One latest upcoming movie has Mel with a puppet and acting crazy.... Im sure now that Mel is single he' s probobly knee dee in nostagia doodoo and nursing the satisfying desire to wade back to full- circle...his life career taking him back and ending at square one.... mudderfucking MAX man!
it had good ideas in it,but frankly what hurted it most was the absence of action.the last scene with the car chase was lame.And what the fuck was about the thing that Captain Gyro acted like he had never seen Max before?or the thing about the Interceptor,which Maniaq above mentiosn about?
to say it simply Thunderdome was more about a remake of the second MM movie with a bigger budget,rather than a direct sequel to it.and thats why it failed somehow.
I thought that Thunderdome was pure crap. I saw it again after a long time and I was surprised, that it was much better film than I remembered. It clearly is a different kind of a story, with very different atmosphere than the previous two films, but a bad film it is not.
if they can't get Mel to do it, I nominate Clive Owen. Think about it, folks, Clive Freakin' Owen as Max. He could drive the tanker for ya.

by ozfilminsider
I'm part of the dying oz film industry. Anyway...way back when this sucker almost got released, I worked on storyboards for this beast -- and yes its a beast. Mel Gibson was originally written for the role and the script is almost entirely based on his character as an 'aging' dude. Well that was the orginal draft...major plot spoiler: bloodlines. Mel must transport a couple of pure bloods (or just one pure blood as Charlize Theron character might be likely - token female character) through across the desert away from the punks that still rule the lands. Epic scale...just epic...stunts galore..all in the style of fury road..no more sand dunes anymore (we were set for nambidia..in africa..screw the iraq war/dollar troubles..he wanted to shoot there because of the dunes and their accesibility.) Dunes in oz are no good...script as I understand it is now changed to relfect more roadwarrior conditions (flat) hence the shoot is now primed for broken hill - where road warrior filmed. They will shoot for 30 weeks next year and I cant wait to get back for this. The pubs rock there. Got a feeling Mel will be back. Edge of Darkness will seal it for Miller. Mel admires Miller hugely. Miller does have plan B. Worthington not in...too oversaturated according to whom i chatted to. Expect another aussie no namer...No eric bana...forget the big names unless its Mel.
No one can play crazy and Mad like Mel. I mean, he IS crazy and mad!! I want to see Mel gonig crazy for the last time!
rumours...all rumours. George, your secrets are safe mate.
a dog as a companion,he should have that beaver puppet who talks through him.Imagine the scene where mel is facing a gang of hardcore bikers,and he starts talking to him with his beaver doll.The bikers look at him with a suprised and start to understand why he is called Mad Max.Then suddenly,Mel lifts his shotgun and starts shooting at them.

I'm in.
Beaver puppet containing sawn-off shotgun.
 When the puppet appears people gonna diiiiie.
I'm with the majority here. I just want Mel somewhat involved. He needs to be. I know George Miller can make it without him, but I'm hoping, hoping he finds a way to convince Mel to be part of it somehow. I don't know what the original storyline is/was, but perhaps instead of Max having a kid, it could be that one of the kids from "Thunderdome" goes on a quest to find the legendary Max. I mean he is their legend. Their hero whose stories are passed down from generation to generation. I could see one of the kids wanting to find him. And if so, the story can be about Max, but Mel himself doesn't have to be in the entire movie (although I hope a big part of it, *g*). Also, the age-thing doesn't really fly because Mel's actual age is the age Max should be, if the movie is set in the future (a future where it's possible the feral kid is grown or Max has a child of his own). So yeah, I think it can work. Only, I don't know if Mel is any closer to being interested. I do like what Vern said, that this is the first time George Miller hasn't mentioned Mel's disinterest. And as far as "Thunderdome." I think it's a departure from the first two too, but I still like it. And it's funny, but when references are made to the "Mad Max" series, it's always (most often) "Thunderdome" that gets mentioned. Barter Town. Thunderdome. "Two men enter, one man leaves." I mean, come on. It's only part of the movie, but gosh, they certainly created something indelible for the audience. And for other creative people to copy.
...I just watched Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome on instant netflix, and he's right, it's not a bad film, and there are actually a lot of good things about it. For starters, the soundtrack and score is great. The opening titles with Tina Turner's "One of the Living" is so pitch perfect and quintisentially 80's. If nothing else, watch the first 2 minutes of the movie, I hadn't heard that song since back then.
 It's also a beautifully shot film. There are beautiful sets, like the whole Barter town, and many scenes shot on location in the desert. You don't find too many big budget films shot on location with big sets anymore...it's all CGI. This was something taken for granted back then, but watching it now, it looked great.
 And there are many good ideas and concepts in the film, like the children looking for their saviour, and Barter town being the corrupt reconstruction of civilization. And the closing scenes and epilogue are quiet poetic. It's a kinder, gentler film than one would expect from a Mad Max movie.
 The bad things about the film, Tina Turner's performance always bothered me a little, and I couldn't buy the logic of a woman becoming the most powerful figure in a post-apocalyptic town, because if a woman can't rise to the top during civilized times, how could she do so during uncivilized times. But I found it a little more acceptable this time round, because she may have been the smartest one, and people were so desperate to have someone with ideas to follow, that she just rose to power.
 I also didn't like that Max doesn't kill Blaster in thunderdome. After he knocks off his helmet and is about to kill him, he discovers he has Down's Syndrome and says, "This wasn't part of the deal." C'mon? Down's syndrome or not, Blaster tried to kill him numerous times, so why wouldn't he kill him and then get his goods back as part of the deal?
 Overall the movie is a little slower with less action, as someone else mentioned. It's like a movie from a different genre than the other two, but by the same token, Road Warrior was a much different movie than Mad Max, which was essentially a revenge film along the lines of I Spit on Your Grave and other notable revenge flicks. I think there was a lot of expectation for Thunderdome to be the 3rd climactic finale of a trilogy, and it wasn't that at all, so there was a lot of disappointment. But it's not a bad film at all...I would rate it somewhere between mediocre and good...about 3 and 1/2 stars out of 5.

and outgrosses Titanic and wins 12 oscars includeing best actor for gibson, Miller will sign mel up for FURY ROAD and Hollywood will fall in love with Mel once again...
I hope ozfilminsider is right about what's planned for this, and I hope that Mel is going to be in the film. Otherwise, it'll just be a shadow, yet another imitation product that will fade like all the other "reimaginings".
There's only one Max, George, and we care about him more than we do any storytelling ideas you have. Do us, and the legacy of your film, a favor and get Mel, whatever it takes.
IT CANT BE DONE!!!
 Crocodile Dundee 4 - Rise of the Crocodiles - Summer 2012 - rated PG13
Dying time is here.
 Forget about stars. Fury Road means carnage, death and destruction.
Miller said he sorta based the MM films on the Eastwood trilogy - now ive seen the Dollars trilogy countless times but never Once Upon a Time....without looking the info up - wasnt it supposed to star Eastwood as the man with no name once again but he didnt wanna do it so it became its own beast but still set in the 'Dollars' universe?? or am i total wrong about this??
 anyway if theres no Mel then i guess it could be Millers Once Upon a Time...(except
It had bloodless cartoon violence
 And that stupid 5'4" indestructable man with the plastic face on a stick taped to his shoulder
 oooooo what a scary henchman
according to imdb its 2011...but Summer 2011 is looked pretty fucking crowded (final Potter, TF 3, Pirates 4, Spidey 4, Thor, Capt America, Green Lant, possibly MI4 etc etc) and Xmas 2011 has got the Hobbit (and maybe Bond 23)
 Might be even Star Trek '2' sometime in 2011 as well...
 maybe April would be a good time to release? (like Fast and Furious)
...a better movie. They could have even kept all the same themes, but if there had been more violence, which one would expect in a post-apocalyptic barbarian world, it have have rang truer, and would have more entertaining.
not a good sign for Max 4....
 kinda scary...
...and a brothel scene in Thunderdome would have been nice. Not just for gratuitous nudity and sex, but because those things are an essential part of human nature, and would continue to be present in the post-apocalypse. That's why an asexual Mad Max film when one of the main characters is dressed like a futuristic prostitute just doesn't feel right.
to arrive in Bartertown,in order to open this brothel. mouahahaha,that would have been a good scene,max returning back to bartertown and discovering that the kids are used as whores.then he gets amok and starts shooting eveyrone,while his talking beaver puppet shouts that the jews are responsible for humanity's downfall.
I will see this regardless! But with Mel, it would be spotless!
i think so!! Robo 3, AvP, DH 4 and T4...
 yep....Blame it on The Thunderdome....Imagine eagerly awaiting Mad Max 3 after the awesomeness of Road Warrior - only to find that (thanks in part to Spielbergs Temple of Doom) the final Max movie was gonna be for kiddies!!!
best mad max 'ripoff' imho.with exploding heads,what else is better than that? maybe explosive boobs but whatever..
I hadn't seen that before. All they needed was George Miller to say, "looks like we need to order a few more stuntmen."
yes its true that this movie was going to be the last chapter of the dollars trilogy.but from what i know,eastwood was not to be the protagonist of the movie,instead he was to be together with lee van cleef (who played the bad) and wallas (who played the ugly),the 3 killers who were waiting in the train station at the beginning of the film.
u see OUATITW is all about the end of the western era.Civilization was coming,through the construction of the railways,and everything was not going to be the same again.
So eastwood with the other 2 actors,were going to play the same roles,blondie,angel eyes and tuco, representing with that way,the western era,and their deaths from Bronson in the train station,would have a metaphorical meaning: the true end of the western era,with the arrival of the train transportation.
But Eastwood refused to do it,so Leone used 3 other actors who were,although less,well-known for their roles in other famous westerns.

Sorry did I say people, I meant fuckwits. Miller is God.
 Thunderdome leaves any 'event' film of the last 10 years(except maybe Dark Knight.... MAYBE) choking in its lead-fuel smelling dust. I FUCKING LOVE THAT MOVIE. I love that Master is played by one of the Freaks from Tod Brownings Freaks. I love when Max hands over his weapons, his audition, and fucking Thunderdome. Gulag Gulag...
 As far as I am concerned Miller made the best Aussie films of the 70's 80's and 90's. His Mad Max 2, Babe 2: Pig in the City, and Happy Feet are a tripe decade trifecta of awesomeness MuthaFucko's. You fuckin people make me so sick that I feel like I just played two girls one cup with my Nanna. urp'
of the names that are being batted around for the role of Max, why the hell are we not hearing Jeremy Renner's name anymore?? Tom Hardy sucks.
...but is a somewhat misleading title for the movie, because only about 5 to 10 minutes are spent in Thunderdome early on in the film, within like the first half hour, and then it's never revisited again. Thunderdome itself has pretty much nothing to do with the plot. It sets the picture up to seem like some type of Battle Royale for post-apocalyptic badasses, but the film isn't that at all. It's more about leaders and saviours.
After watching and reading Miller's comments on the Australian film industry, I hope this film helps it. Hollywood needs some international competition to stimulate it into making some good things for a change.
If Matrix was here,he would laught too.
should have a cameo appearance in this movie,doing one of the the evil henchmen.but not again the homoerotic with his buttcheeks out.
You heard it here first.

I don't need the knife Max. I don't need the knife.
I was one of those that shit on the film when I saw in the theraters. I had not watch it for years then one day when I had some time on my hands I watched it and relized I was fucking idiot to shit on Thunderdome.
Thunderdome proudly stands up and takes its place along side Mad Max and The Road Warrior as part of a quality series.
therefore his character will need to be recast by a strapping young lad with harder, firmer buttocks
I have affection for Thunderdome. When I was about 14 and saw it in theaters I was disappointed: not enough brutality, rusty muscle cars, and stunts for my taste. But as the years went on I was able to get a bit more out of it, and saw that Max's humanity was more of a focus that time. That, and my friends named their music venue "Thunderdome" :)
Sam Worthington would be perfect as Max. I can't see anyone else, other them Mel of course, playing him.
it would be ridiculous to expect him to be Mad Max again. As much as I loved (and own) all the Mad Max installments, I wouldn't see it if he were in it as the lead. However, while thinking about who would be a good replacement, I saw someone mention Sam Worthington, and I think he'd be perfect.
Is it like once he turned 45 someone just ran him over for being too slow?
Ok so far so cool, just lock in Bana for Max and lay down that rubber!

Arnie in T3 (56), Sly in Rocky 6/Rambo 4 (60/62) and Expendables (63), Willis in DH4 (52), Ford Indy 4 (66) - but oh no Mel cant be Max again cos at 53 hes too fuckin old!
 wheres the fucking logic man???
 some of you people talk as if Mel is in his his late 70s....hes in his early fucking 50s!!! jesus!!
 plus the Max character was always 'aged' and they had to grey Mel up abit...
 can also add Eastwood to that list - he was still doing Dirty Harry in his late 50s...plus Connery as Bond in Never Say Never (53) and Moore in the last few Bonds (mid-late 50s)
 and what about Shatner in The Wrath of Khan - 51...yeah he was too old for dat shit right?
 i swear to god some people wont be satistifed until all the classic stuff like Mad Max, Indy etc is remade with actors barely out of kindergarden
Worthington's ok (when he's on native soil) but Bana's the best fit all round (Love the Beast proved that). I'd love to see Mel back in his leg brace, but he's nixed any notion of returning to role for so long now, best to resign to the fact that it's going to be a new face behind the wheel of Fury Road.
I'm sure he could play the part just fine, but he won't. He's past it... it's not that it's beneath him, it's just not his style any longer. Max is a role for a young guy who can do the stunts and take the hits and make the role believable because if they do it right, a 53 year old guy bashing the shit out of a bunch of punks would shove the film in the realm of the ridiculous, and its premise is already straddling that realm as it is. If we have Mel, make him a mentor to the new guy, and then have Max flame out in a blaze of glory.
I wish there was a freakin' edit button. Anyway, no matter how they do it a 53 year old guy bashing the shit out of young punks would look stupid. That is what I mean to say. But Max being a mentor and flaming out in a spectacular set piece would be awesome.
"I was just talking with George Miller the other day, so yes, you kind of keep in touch with people from back there and see what they're up to," Gibson said. "It's not an obsession of mine. I figure, if it's great (an Australian film) then you'll end up seeing it." Gibson denied his discussion with Miller was about reprising his iconic character in the eagerly anticipated Mad Max 4. "Oh gosh, I don't know what he's up to," Gibson said. "Not with me, I don't think. Man, I'm a bit old and long in the tooth for that number. You need someone who can get around a bit quicker."
 http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/mel-gibsons-back-on-track/st ory-e6frf96f-1225790918915?from=public_rss
I hope he has at least a little part in this, I've seen him in star wars 3, Matrix 3, and recently Legend of the Seeker, it would be nice to see him get some love.
That would be the point of the movie. An older Max. What have the last 3 decades done to The Road Warrior? As played by Mel Gibson, natch. I'd LOVE to see that movie. A reboot with a younger actor in the lead role, not so much.
And while I agree and disagree equally with a great deal of the things discussed thus far, the only thing I want to comment on is Mel: he must be in it. Period. End of post.

of fitting this is the other crazy, violent adopted-aussie Rustie the Crow. He is the only other actor with that hint of madness.
I am against all these films being remade in the first place. I would prefer they NOT remake Mad Max, but Hollywood has this urge to recycle because they're afraid of taking chances on new material. I know this more than I can state here being a screenwriter myself. So...
 Asking/requiring original actors to reprise their roles in these classic actions movies is silly and unrealistic. Most of them have moved on with their careers and those who haven't (like Dirk Benedict) we have to ask ourselves, do we really WANT them back?
 As for Sly, I loved the original First Blood movies. In fact, I read First Blood by David Morrell because of the movie and became a big fan of all his books. But there comes a time when an aging actor looks like he's trying to hold on to his youth by clinging to these early hot action roles that are now unsuitable, and it's uncomfortable to watch. So let's look at Shatner, he was fine. Why? Cpt. Kirk as a ship captain at 51 is completely believable taking into account that most admirals and generals are well into their 50s/60s. So I had no issue with that. Plus, Shatner has never really moved on. I haven't seen him in Boston Legal, but I heard he's good as a lawyer.
Bruce Willis' Die Hard is classic. One of the best action movies ever, but there comes a time when enough is enough. Continuing to capitalize on the former success of a movie with inferior sequels almost makes a mockery of the story. How many times have we seen this happen? Did we really need Indy 4? Did we really need to see Shia swinging through the forest with a bunch of freakin' monkeys? Doesn't that scene win the prize for the most WTF? scene ever?
 Like I meantioned in an earlier post. An aged Max would work, but not as the focus of the story.
...I could see Crow in a Road Warrior film. I'd be more into it if he wasn't a re-cast Max. But he would definitely work in that type of roll/film. Shit, they're even both Australian. Would be cool if they were both in it.
to get Mel on board for Max 4 - maybe hed take note of like 50,000 signatures or whatever wanting him to do Max 4....sounds like Miller wants him to do it...(dosnt sound like he dosnt want him - probably just resigned to Mel not wanting to do it)
 maybe if Mel knew fans wanted him back as Max hed do it...maybe he dosnt know what much the fans want it...even a cameo would be better than zip

And I don't feel bad about it at all. Especially after the whole SW prequel business. I'm just going to stick with my original Indy trilogy until they make something that's widely considered NEARLY as good as the originals. The more I hear/read about Indy IV the happier I am I stuck with this plan. Plus, I just hate Shia as an actor more than pretty much anyone... maybe everyone. He may be a great guy but he completely turns me off as an actor. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to get into any film that he's in because all I can think about is how damn annoying he is on screen.
It would be really bizarre to replace the iconic actor who made Max who he is with an actor who is only 8 years his junior. You wouldn't be able to watch it without thinking, 'Why the hell isn't Mel in this?"
...and percentage points as he wants. Whatever it takes. He's filming a movie right now where he wears a beaver puppet for most of the film, and you're telling me he won't play Mad Max? There's gotta be more to it than that.
We still don't know how audiences are going to respond to Mel as an actor after all the personal issues. I've often gotten the impression that that's part of why it's taken so long to get around to putting this thing into full on production mode. I even have a vague memory of either Gibson or Miller mentioning this themselves. Something about not wanting to distract from the film with the outside "stuff". Since Mel has now started acting again, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

In regards the age difference, Mel looks MUCH older. Don't mean to bag on the guy, but he'd have a hard time playing younger, while I think Crow could still pull that off. That's why the idea of both of them being in it sounds so cool to me. Either that or Mel playing an older Max, which I do think would work, with another character/actor in the lead.

He already played a guy CALLED Maximus, whose son and wife was mown down by the villains. His snot alone gives him Max's anguish. Bana and Worthington are too square. I know Bana's Chopper is fantastic, but it's no Hando from Romper Stomper. Ya just know if he's Max someones gonna cop a perfectly choreographed ancient, dusty(rusty) phone to the noggin. Lastly, Rustie of the Crow is one Hard Bastard.
But he's doing that for Jody Foster, who probably got Mel in the film to help him out as well, because they're old friends. I really do believe that part of what Miller is waiting for is to see how the public reacts to Mel as an actor again.
Go the Tiges!!!!
...the public really has a short-term memory with regards to those things. Hollywood might not, since he insulted most of the establishment, but I don't think the public cares as much as Hollywood believes.
...because he disgraced himself at a time when his good looks really started to fade quickly, but that is not as much of an issue for the role of Max, or the audience of Mad Max films.

oops wrong Mel Gibson Franchise....
...and got into a health regimen, there'd be a vast improvement in his appearance and his ability to play the role....which would be very doable with the help of some trainers.
Nobody here in Europe gives that any thought. He says glibly, speaking for an entire continent.
In all my years in the Navy, some of the toughest guys I met were the crusty old salts who had been around the world, and knew from experience how to handle themselves. Now, before you say "if old guys are so tough, why don't they play professional sports?", remember that professional sports (ESPECIALLY fighting sports like boxing and MMA) are largely a test of endurance. A real violent confrontation typically lasts about 15 seconds, and relies far less on endurance, and more on experience and the ability to think under pressure. The notion that only young studs can be heroes is something that has been pushed by Hollywood, and is not factual in any way. How many times have you read about an old WW2 vet whipping the shit out of some bugular? Think about it... Mel's not too old.

Mel and only Mel for this Project!!
The fact that they barely made the news outside of the US doesn't really matter. I'd be willing to bet they're expecting to make huge amounts of money in the states. Probably $150-250 million. If it doesn't - that IS a big hit for the producers. As far as "people" forgetting, maybe, maybe not. Because it's ALL going to be brought up again each time a film is released with him as a director or an actor. And lets be completely up front about this: the Jewish people have not and will not forget it. Whether or not they have, or will, forgive him remains to be seen.
Mel is gettin' up there, he does look slightly wrecked, and I am most definitely not retarded, nor do I take it in the ass. Mel could still be an old Max, as a lot of people have pointed out. But there's no guarantee that people would like or accept him in that role.
Do one for the fans huh?
of MM3 was totally crap.and the irony is that mm3 had bigger budget which means miller had the ability to give us even greater stunts that those from MM2.but he simply didnt deliver.and whereas u had the impressive Homongus and the crazy homoerotic Vernon Wells chasing Mel at the final scene,in MM3 u had tina turner who did absolutely nothing during the chase and that midget guy who was more laughable than threatening.Miller didnt deliver at the final scene at all,as action goes.
Fucking Worthington? I think after a year or so he will have already outstayed his welcome. And he looks nowhere near as tough as Bana or Crowe can look.
couldn't get the clip to load, did it mention the car?
I don't dislike the film, there's plenty to enjoy. I just think it's the weakest of the 3.
My votes for Max. Would still love to see Mel back in it tho.
I always have enjoyed the stunts and car crashes in mad max 2. After watching the cardboard boxes documentary... I now know why they felt so real. =]
My memory is getting foggy. If one is there, I don't think it's meant to be Max's original patrol car. The mechanic in Road Warrior was probably exaggerating when he said Max's V-8 was the last model in existence.
this has been posted repeatedly by people in TB's for days
 lame
Stalone did another Rocky and Rambo, and Harrison Ford did Indianna Joens again. Those are Gibson's peers, and their iconic characters were born around the same time period. If those guys can revisit the roles, so can Mel Gibson. So long as they are calling it Mad Max 4, Gibson should star in it and I'd love to see it. I also wouldn't mind seeing a younger actor take over for a full reboot, just don't put a new guy in and call it Mad Max 4.
coz well all know how credible that is.
No Mel Gibson = no Mad Max. Just some sad pile of crap, most likely similar to Anderson's remake of Death Race.
Yeah sure, the first one was good for its day, but it's pretty dated. 2 and 3 suck.

however I had a VERY bad hangover.
He had a convincing phisical resemblance to Mel, playing his brother in 'Signs'. Plus he is certifiably Mad.
Said the mechanic in the original Mad Max. He said this to Max and Goose when they checked her out. After the destruction of the V-8 Nightrider was driving, Max's V-8 became the last.
they're either going to continue as though it were never destroyed (mild reboot) or, they're going to explain it as someone found it and re-built it. I prefer the latter as it doesn't contradict the fucking awsomeness that is Mad Max 2.
I've been trying to convince my friends to go easy on it for years. It may not match the first two films, but if you discovered it indipendently, and with no knowledge of Mad Max, you'd probably think it was pretty fucking cool(kids & corny humour aside).
If they had stayed in Barter Town, and skipped the Lord of the Flies part in the desert, Thunderdome would have made an awesome Mad Max movie.
Believe it or not, none of my local video stores even bother to stock it! They have Mad Max and Road Warrior, but no Thunderdome. Who ever heard of video stores only carrying 2 titles of a trilogy? One clerk told me that no one ever asks for it. That shows you how lowly regarded Thunderdome is.
She's alive, right?
Only thing I fear is a shitty Disney or crummy syfy like influence with shia or zac or any young shitty actor Reboot or a cast, who are both horrible actors,try to widen audience. Forget that Shit!! Stick to the original format!, Mel is the best choice.
need to just be placed in a ditch and fucking shot in the backs of their heads.
But not as Bond. Connery in THE ROCK is completely believable as cagey/clever and hard to stop despite his age.
i was only a very young child and never really cared for the grunge ugly look of it. ... but i gotta tell ya, max max 2 was fantastic, and beyond thunderdome was FUCKING HUGE when it came out.
never cared for a 4th one... however i think the time is right and if mel comes back he'll give the film the balls it needs to be a big sell.
cause quite honestly, no mel..... then im not really that interested.

 in fact some believe that Mason WAS actually the Bond of Dr No, Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Never Say Never etc and that '007 James Bond' is just a code name that he and the other guys Moore, Brosnan etc used....
 i think it works as they even mentioned the year 1962 in The Rock

Assless chaps and all.
the lead guy disses Max 3 something rotten...saying something like 'the third one wasnt any good'

its ok and has some great scenes and set pieces and ideas but its no where near as good as the classic part 2 (and part 1)...you know the rest - Godfather III, Jedi, Superman III, Alien 3, Terminator 3, X3, Spidey 3,.......
 some might also say Army of Darkness (which i remember as being kinda like Thunderdome in parts) - but i disagree - AOD is the balls...hail to the King
although Batman Returns was hardly a classic film was it? (or was it?)
or was that so fucking bad it dosnt count?
How could I forget that on a Mel talkback??
 Star Trek III? hmmmm nah....cant include that as - a) its awesome and b) when the fuck has The Motion Picture ever been considered a great film?
or is everyone MAXed out by now?
 90% of this talkback = Mel or FUCK Max 4.....Mel is too old/no hes not 10% = Thunderdome - crap or good?
you know those guns that fire red paint...?
may as well fire out another No Mel..No Max 4 for me post...
 it dosnt make any sense on a statistical level...Mel does 4 Lethal Weapons and only 3 Mad Maxs? well that dosnt make any fuckin sense....

At the australian pavilion at the biennale they exhibit the car from the first foto as well as some hidef videos of it driving around with a stunt guy on it. when i saw it i thought "cool, australia is exhibiting the car from mad max!" and was disappointed when it turned out it wasn't. now i see it is, after all!
like..he gets attached to every other fucking project going in hollywood at the moment so why not this?
 bet Shatner is filled with jealous rage now...thinking he shouldve had Pines career post TOS throughout the 70s...getting his name attached to every new thing going down - like Redford and Newman and Beatty etc instead of winding up in a few Comlumbos and those Halloween movies...

It's definetly a departure. Totally different kind of film. More all ages. Great sets, costume and music, as many here have mentioned. Still plenty of Miller magic, but it's not as hardcore as Road Warrior. Put some whacked out muscle cars in this fucker! Oh well, too late.
....Max sacrifices himself to save the children, allowing them to fly away, just like the messiah in their prophecy. The weird thing is, Auntie (Tina Turner) spares him, for no apparent reason. Simply says, "Goodbye, soldier." Also weird is the fact that her name is Auntie, though I kind of like it. It's twisted in this weird sort of matriarchal society, where she's a kind of sexy Auntie they all look up to....not too threatening though. Time may be kind to Thunderdome...and it could become somewhat of a cult classic.
I've never seen it before
We need more.

wait until avatar bombs-i say stop the madness-get the hurt locker guy
now THAT shit sucks.
would like to have a word with you.
is ruined by the presence of lovable moppets, including Blaster. After Max refuses to off the grinning man-child (who just happened to pull a Hyde/Jekyll as his helmet came off,) the entire tone of the film changes, embracing a Spielberg-like reverence for the kiddies. Bah. Also, the choice of having the chase involve a locomotive was a bad one, as well as including Bruce Spence (and his moppet.) The film is rife with bad decisions masquerading as innovative plot points. Just like "Return of the Jedi," too many viewers (VERN included,) allow their nostalgia to cloud good judgment. Thunderdome is not bad, but comes up seriously lacking when compared to it's predecessors.
And "Thunderdome" was GODAWFUL.
Starring Mel as an angry-as-fuck rabbi with a serious agenda. Set in Baghdad, Kabul, and Basra. With the full cooperation of the U.S. Military (which means roping in Michael Bay as executive producer, but fuckit... it's a small price to pay). Costarring Lance Henriksen as The General Who Keeps Trying To Curb The Mensch But Ultimately Gives In. Costarring Verne Troyer as a National Guardsman who keeps bugging The Mensch in a Joe Pesciesque/"Lethal Weapon 2" kinda way ("Can't I have a RPG?"... "NO!"), but gets The Mensch's back at a critical moment. A cameo by Don Cheadle as President Obama ("You are OUTTA control, Mensch!... but we gotta settle this thing... to help change the world.").
Seriously, this isn't too hard to piece together. Please adjust accordingly, Mr. Miller. I'll settle for 1% of the gross, TYVM.
Rowdy Roddy Piper as The Mensch's sidekick, Master Sergeant Seymour Goldstein: "I came here to eat matzo balls and kick ass; I'm all out of matzo balls."
No Mel = no Max
Congratulations on being the first person i've ever heard say that the Road Warrior sucks.
 It doesn't suck. But it must suck to be you.
the kids, dwarfs, (correct me if im wrong but i think there were even a few strange creatures about) the 'magical' feel, happy ending, etc - it feels like a more hard core Goonies or something
 compare the 'feel' of Thunderdome with Road Warrior - they almost feel like films from different series..(but then as Chakraborty states - Max 2 is totally different look and feel to Max 1s grindhouse/I Spit on Your Grave feel - so each Max is kinda from a diff genre)
 Miller had obviously taken note of stuff like Raiders, Jedi, Temple of Doom, Goonies, that had come out since Max 2 (hed worked with Spielberg on Twilight Zone as well)and injected The Road Warrior with a little SpielLucas plus made it PG13
one exampe - Wrath of Khan - Khans followers owe more than a little to the gangs in Max 2 as do Kruges motley bunch in Trek III
 and countless music videos and low budget schlock

That line refered to the ENGINE in the car, not the car body itself...He had just swapped the engine in the car when Max walks into the PD in the movie.
Magical spitting Spielbergian dwarves aside, one need (not) display the 30 minutes, 3 times a week, so this is a limited offer.
...notable. So he has a hard-on for Arnold, Sly, and Willis, but not Mel? What gives? This talkback needs some ABKing semen.

 ...or not.
ok maybe not
 but allow me to quote from Mad Max 3 Beyond Thunderdome, since I happen to have all 3 a remote click away-
 "I'll disconnect the battery!"
 "I wouldn't do that if I were you"
 "Who you?"
 "Me Max"
 "You smart!"
 "That's my vehicle"
 "Disarm!"
 "How much?"
 "No trade! Do!"
 There's a whole bit about who runs Bartertown... Max eventually gets into the driver's seat and... TURNS ON THE SIREN OF HIS OLD INTERCEPTOR before disarming the booby trap. Now, this is no doubt the vehicle was being pulled by camels that was stolen at the beginning - the same vehicle and camels he does the deal with Auntie for - but.. it's his Pursuit Special! The booby trap, the siren - how the hell did he get it back???
 btw, in case anyone here hasn't seen the first one, in the original Max and family go off to the countryside to stay with family friend May Swaisey and her retarded son Benno. I believe Max's previous history with Benno is the reason he could not kill Blaster, after finding out he has Downs Syndrome.
 and hey, while I'm quoting-
 "I'm scared, Fif. It's that rat circus out there, I'm beginning to enjoy it. Look, any longer out on that road and I'm one of them, a terminal psychotic, except that I've got this bronze badge that says that I'm one of the good guys."
 -Max Rockatansky
where Captain Gyro acts like he has never seen Max before,but he does have a son,probably the offspring of his relationship with the blond girl from MM2.
Thats why MM3 looks to be more like a separated,independent movie than a direct sequel to MM2.it does have some connections with the previous movies,but it has enough plot holes or clues to make it shown as an entirely new movie rathen than the next chapter of Max's life.
I have always justified his knowledge of the vehicle by thinking maybe all the police cars were set up that way... It's a weak justification, but it works for me...
...who think Bruce Spence was playing the same guy in Thunderdome as in Mad Max 2?

to think that saying shit like that is funny or cool
i would love a new mad max movie with a new actor. mel is washed up as an actor. he should stay behind the camera
to a motherfucking T. Vern, he's right. Now I must go back and read the other Mad Max Missives from around the (basements) of the world. Said with love. Smite me not.
Babe: Pig in the City IS a Mad Max film i.m.o.
Yesterday, before I was drunk as a fart, I read on imdb that the Miller crew had a screenplay/idea for a lost children desert pic, and that it required an adult lead. Somewhere a (dim) lightbulb went off and someone said "How about the Max character?" And so, Thunderdome was born. Also, due to big bucks American financing (a first for the Max series), Tina Turner was shoehorned into the film. In 1984 the rock legend was riding a new wave of popularity. Some Hollywood producer-fuck probably said, "Hey! Let's put Tina in this! She's red- hot right now. (She was) More asses in the seats."
You pulled a superb quote. I need to see Mad Max again. Max, he started out as a "BRONZE." Miller needs to incorporate this into Fury Road. Go right back to the source.

The Ford Falcon was destroyed in 2. It wasn't categorically the last, obviously. New Interceptor will belong to the warlord. Maybe he was once MFP and he and Max will get their fury road on.Better with Mel but why not go with a younger actor. Max is a type, he barely speaks. He drives well. He shoots things when he has bullets. A decent actor will suspend the disbelief. Its Miller's world that propels the story, not an actor. However the actor should be Australian. Once you see those beautiful red landscapes and hear that Aussie twang you will settle right in.
that cgi dancing baby from the 1990's
Obviously you guys are Mexican, cuz you got the joke.
Please. For god's sake, don't screw this up. I've seen the Terminator franchise destroyed horribly and I don't think my damaged psyche can handle a poor MM sequel... Get Mel back. Or walk away. There's dignity in walking away, too. Sincerely, every action movie fan worth his or her salt.
i guess what really offended me was how stunningly unfunny the joke was. forget the racism part. though, you are kind of an idiot

ojo de aguila!
Just pulled out the DVD and watched it again. The vehicle that Mel has booby trapped with dynamite is a jeep, look at those knobby tires and the height of the vehicle. You can clearly see the jeep chassis in the beginning of the film in the desert. The booby trap and siren alarm are similar to the trap he installed on the Interceptor, but it's a different vehicle than his old pursuit special.
Or GTFO.

he got the shit end of the stick last time out.
What I have failed to express, I think, is that it will depend on the story. But for me, another "Road Warrior" with Mel still driving around, still fighting for fuel, seems like just another retread (ha! unintentional pun). That's what I mean by Mel being too, old. Why, after all he's already gone through in that world, would he still be wandering around doing the same thing. That doesn't work for me. But a sage older Max telling a younger man how to go out and fuck shit up - that works for me! Like, a Road Warrior Jedi and shit. lol
but you'd have to rename it Mad Steve...or Bob. No Mel=No Mad Max.
He got the acting chops and the right look.
what was left of it
 the alarm system and 12 pounds of dynamite are apparently still good
 stereo prob'ly still works too - but he can't get the Neil Diamond tape out of it
...for some reason, I had the urge to watch The Neverending Story, another movie from around that time. Then today as I was browsing netflix, they recommended Neverending Story based on the fact that I liked Thunderdome. Weird.

Colorado College and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center have entered into an agreement to ensure that much of the FAC's library – more than 15,000 books – is catalogued and integrated into CC's renowned Tutt Library.
The collection has been inaccessible since 2006, when the books were put in storage during the Fine Arts Center's expansion. The partnership between the two neighboring institutions ensures that the books will not only be available to CC students and faculty, FAC patrons, and the general public, but also preserved under library conservation protocols.
At the core of the collection are 6,000 books donated to the Fine Arts Center by co-founder Alice Bemis Taylor. These volumes focus primarily on art and artists of the Southwest from prehistory through to contemporary times. Also in the collection are rare museum catalogs and studies of Egyptian antiquities published under Napoleon. Most of the books will be housed in Tutt Library's art reading room, but books on the history of the Southwest, Native Americans, etc., will be shelved with books on those subjects.
Books in the FAC collection have the designation "Gift of Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, 2014" in their catalog record, making the collection searchable as a group. Additionally, the physical books also have a bookplate inside the front cover that reads "Gift to Colorado College from the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center."
"This remarkable collection from the Fine Arts Center meshes well with the major renovation and expansion of the Tutt Library currently underway as a key initiative arising from the new strategic plan of Colorado College," said CC's Library Director Ivan Gaetz.
"This collaboration ensures that the FAC library collection will once again be a living, breathing resource," said FAC Executive Museum Director and Chief Curator Blake Milteer. "It will be in such good hands at Tutt Library, where the books will be expertly catalogued and attentively cared for."
Colorado College expects to pay nearly $30,000 in labor and materials to add the additional books. "That's a fraction of what we'd pay to buy this many books, and that doesn't take into account how many extremely rare and valuable titles are in this collection," said Steve Lawson, CC art liaison librarian. "We here at Tutt Library are very thankful for the gift, and are very excited about the opportunity to once again offer these books to scholars and the public. Tutt Library's art book collection has always been strong, and adding the FAC's rich and unique collection will make it truly exceptional."
The process of moving and cataloguing the FAC collection has already started and will continue into the fall. Books already in the Tutt Library will be offered to University of Colorado—Colorado Springs for possible inclusion in their library collection.
"The FAC and CC have a long history of collaboration, and we're thrilled that we can continue that tradition," said Jean Gumpper, an FAC trustee and CC visiting professor of art, who spearheaded the effort to make the library accessible.

Sandy Green (mathematician)
Sandy Green | |
Born | Rochester, New York, US |
26 February 1926
Died | 7 April 2014 | (aged 88)
Residence | Oxford, England |
Citizenship | Britain, United States |
Fields | Mathematics |
Institutions | Bletchley Park |
Alma mater | University of St Andrews St John's College, Cambridge |
Doctoral advisor | Philip Hall, David Rees |
Known for | Work on group representation theory |
Notable awards | de Morgan Medal (2001) |
James Alexander "Sandy" Green FRS (26 February 1926 – 7 April 2014) was a mathematician and Professor at the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick, who worked in the field of representation theory.
Early life[edit]
Sandy Green was born in February 1926 in Rochester, New York, but moved to Toronto with his emigrant Scottish parents later that year. The family returned to Britain in May 1935 when his father, Frederick C. Green, took up the Drapers Professorship of French at the University of Cambridge.
Green was educated at the Perse School, Cambridge. He won a scholarship to the University of St Andrews and matriculated aged 16 in 1942. He took an ordinary BSc in 1944, and then, after scientific service in the war, was awarded a BSc Honours in 1947. He gained his PhD at St John's College, Cambridge in 1951, under the supervision of Philip Hall and David Rees.[1][2][3]
World War II[edit]
In the summer of 1944, he was conscripted for national scientific service at the age of eighteen, and was he was assigned to work at Bletchley Park, where acted as a human "computer" carrying out calculations in Hut F, the "Newmanry", a department led by Max Newman which used special-purpose Colossus computers to assist in breaking German naval codes.[4]
Academic work[edit]
His first lecturing post (1950) was at the University of Manchester, where Newman was his Head of Department. In 1964 he became a Reader at the University of Sussex, and then in 1965 was appointed as a Professor at the newly formed Mathematics Institute at Warwick University, where he led the algebra group. He spent several periods as a visiting academic in the United States, beginning with a year at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey in 1960–61, as well as similar visits to universities in France, Germany and Portugal.[citation needed] After retiring from Warwick he became a member of the faculty and Professor Emeritus at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Oxford, in whose meetings he participated actively. His final publication was produced at the age of eighty.
Work in mathematics[edit]
Green found all the characters of general linear groups over finite fields (Green 1955) and invented the Green correspondence in modular representation theory. Both Green functions in the representation theory of groups of Lie type and Green's relations in the area of semigroups are named after him. His final publication (2007) was a revised and augmented edition of his 1980 work, Polynomial Representations of GL(n).
Personal life[edit]
Green met his wife, Margaret Lord, at Bletchley Park, where she worked as a Colossus operator, also in the Newmanry section (Hut F). The couple married in August 1950, and have two daughters and a son. Up to his death, he lived in Oxford.
He was elected to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1968 and the Royal Society in 1987[5] and was awarded two London Mathematical Society prizes: Senior Berwick Prize in 1984[6] and the de Morgan Medal in 2001.[5][7]

ForeScout has named a new CEO who has big plans for making the company's products the remediation layer of choice for other vendors' security offerings that find problems with endpoints but can't fix them.
Michael DeCesare, 49, who starts March 1, is joining the company from Intel where he was president of its security division, and says he made a carefully calculated decision to join ForeScout, swayed by the quality of its products and potential for growth.
The company's CounterACT appliance performs network access control but can also integrate with a range of third-party security platforms such as SIEMs, vulnerability assessment systems, mobile-device management platforms and advanced threat-detection systems to provide endpoint data to them but also remediate endpoint problems and if necessary isolate compromised devices.
The company has integration alliances with other vendors, among them ArcSight, Damballa, Gigamon, Check Point, FireEye, IBM, Invincia, McAfee, Microsoft, Palo Alto, RSA and Tibco.
He says ForeScout can provide these vendors with information from endpoints and act as a ready-to-go endpoint remediation platform that would take them a long time to develop and mature. "We're not version 1.0," he says.
He calls this integration with other systems ForeScout's untapped jewel to which he hopes to bring more visibility and recognition. The relationships with other vendors are at varying levels of maturity, but DeCesare, who has a sales background, says he hopes to deepen them, bundle CounterACT with the third-party platforms and be more aggressive with sales.
Before coming to ForeScout, DeCesare was co-president of McAfee, which was bought by Intel to become Intel Security. Before that he worked at EMC, Documentum and Oracle.
