I keep getting comments saying that the Mad Max game did come out: The 2008 Mad Max game by George Miller and Cory Barlog never came out. It was the official Fury Road tie-in game that connected with the film on a story level and it was designed by people who worked on the film. That game was cancelled in 2010. The game that came out in 2015 is completely different. It was made by WB and Avalanche without George Miller's involvement. The reason why it 'feels like' his game is because WB used George Miller's material he was developing for Fury Road for years. Plotlines, characters and unused concept art, even stories from upcoming Fury Road prequels - they put all that in the game without MIller's supervision. In result - the game contains spoilers from upcoming Mad Max prequels. And George Miller was NOT happy about that and it's not the game he wanted to release. That's why you won't find his name in the credits of that game. I made a video about that whole situation a long time ago, but if you want me revisit this topic in a new video, let me know. Hope this helps.
I really enjoy that game, but I've hesitated finishing it. I think the game we did get would have been a pretty cool online multiplayer game.
@@Scott11078 I really liked the game too, but it reveals what Warner Bros would probably do to the Mad Max franchise if only they could wrestle it out of George Miller's hands = spew out a lacklustre pile of studio exec plop for the money, and not the work of art we were fortunate enough to get with Fury Road.
As I have gotten ADDICTED to this channel of yours, I´d love to watch even more stuff from you, also in this "game-stuff topic". I ´ve played and beaten the game a few years ago. It´s somehow a nice game, but it sucks as a MadMax franchise. It´s just another WB-style game, with tons of mouse/keyboard-breaker combos, exactly as in the WB´s LOTR games, which received MadMax´s related names and textures upon it (as the creature which is a mechanic helper in the game acts EXACTLY as Smeagol does in LOTR). Cheers, sir!
I have it i n my library right now. Avalanche Studios put it out and was published by Warner Bros. Games
IMO the game was very good
The Mad Max video game is extremely worth a play. I've played through it multiple times. Great way to tie all the diffrent stories together
I'm reinstalling it right now after 5 years. Great game.
@Bryan Schmidt Excellent tie in with the movie Fury Road.
@@GuntherRommel guess you could say it was a magnum opus. I am so funny
Wasn't the game supposed to be right before the beginning of fury road?
@Owen Baxter was supposed to but wasn't made. Instead, they made a prequel comic telling the story of the v8 intercepter.
In Australia, these hardtop Falcon coups are legendary. See them destroyed breaks a man's heart 😪
fury road is a pos.
I know pauls3585. Film companies don't give two shits about history or how rare as long as they get their piece of silver. Life on Mars wanted to borrow my 82 Tina 2.0 2 door an I told them to F***off. It's 1 of 3 left on the road over here. They weren't even getting it to park on the road side in case it got scratched. I'm only it's 2 ND owner since 1982 and I didn't get it till the original owner died an his son sold it to me in 2001.
I literally cried in the theater when we went to see it. It was in the film for less time than Thunderdome! And then to see it just completely rolled and ripped to pieces by The War Boys... 😮💨 And Max just stole it from the Buzzards according to the comics that Miller was influencing!! He had made some unorthodox deal to get the final parts to complete The Black on Black. And things went sideways, hence why the Buzzards knew who he was throughout the movie... That car was the last thing keeping him together. And it got torn right back apart... So, the ending of Fury Road wasn't Max quiting, it was him starting all over again, and finding himself in his Magnum Opus. The Black on Black. The Interceptor. His last hold on what was, and that could ever be now, in this Apocalyptic nightmare being stuck betwix the living and the Dead. media.tenor.com/KT_U1KKV7DYAAAAM/mad-max-v8.gif
So true! Look what Hollyweird did to that awesome Plymouth Cuda in The Phantasm movie! Long time rumor was it was junked after but it turns out it did survive and was seen in the background in an episode of CHiPs in 89, a Phantasm website has video! Strange...
@@tonysilliker5977 so now no one got to see it in the movie? Cars are made to be seen and driven.
The Mad Max game that came out is totally underappreciated, and a big part of it is building your car(s).
It also has the ford falcon and a built interceptor that you can use when you finish the game
@@Blueffect_22 Only thing i didn't quite like is it was barely usable for combat but that I think was just me
I love how you were able to actually connect the whole timeline between the original movies the comics to fury road it was a amazing job 👏
Thanks! It wasn't me who came up with it, it's just one of those storylines that George Miller and his writers keep secret from the audience. We get pieces of it on screen or in the comic books but to get the full picture I have to ask them what they had in mind. This goes for almost everything we see in those films.
@@MadMaxBible still quite incredible work and thanks to you so many people know the whole story behind the mad max franchise 😁
This is the kind of content you usually have to buy the special edition DVD / Bluray to get! Thank you for this contribution!
What a legend, awesome video man. I'm not a emotional guy but I waited so patently for fury road to come out and then within the first minutes see the Interceptor destroyed it really tugged at my heart strings.
Sham it was such a let down of a movie. It ruined the whole franchise.
It was NOT...mediocre ❤️ The history of the cars is as interesting as the story itself
Mediocre is a term used in Fury Road, intended as a good thing.
Great video mate, gives a great in-depth history of the cars and fills in a lot of questions that people often ask. Glad to have helped with some info. A couple of things I MUST mention is that whilst I did do most of the car as shown, there were certainly others on the crew who played instrumental parts in getting the car on screen. The set Dec team did an amazing job dressing the car, they also should take credit for the rag tyre, I came up with some ideas that you mentioned but ultimately those guys/girls perfected the look and made it work, well beyond what I could have ever done. The scenic artists under the direction of Martin Bruveris added the patina and weathering to the paint which really bought the car to life (or close to death as it appears). Also others on the Action Vehicle crew did mechanical work on the car, particularly in Namibia (as I finished up in Sydney) keeping it running and upgrading other parts like the ignition, etc. As much as I’d like to take credit for the whole car there was definitely many others who had input to get it on screen for that brief 1:24. :) Keep up the great work.
1:24 of screen time. What a massive waste of effort and machinery. And what a massive tease for all the loyal fans who patiently waited decades. Like why even bother resurrecting the iconic hero car only to have it humiliatingly hunted down and pillaged in the opening scene of the movie? What on earth made Miller think that would be a good idea? Was it written this way solely to make you feel like your massive amount of work was for nothing? Or was it written this way to specifically upset the loyal fanbase by literally/figuratively deconstructing the films iconic car and its entire universe? As an award winning classic car mechanic and body restoration professional I absolutely love what you and the crew did with the distressed state of the car, especially the details like the minor front and rear bumper damages indicating Max had already been playing wasteland bumper cars even before Fury Road starts, and the rough improvised looking cutout in the hood for the blower. Also the heavy black smoke effect indicating that both the Scott injection system is running rich and that the engine is burning oil trying to keep up with being supercharged while also used as primary transportation. And also the improvised cloth tent/shelter hanging from the roll bar, the improvised runflat/treadcap tire, the fact that the worst tire is on the right rear as it would be on a powerful RWD car, and the fact that the extra fuel tank is in the left rear to offset the weight of the driver. All this wasted attention to detail that we have to buy the DVD and pause to notice is why I can't stand the fact that Miller squandered all your hard work and exploited the hopes of everyone who came to see the car. People can try to justify it but I didn't wait patiently for 20 years just to be duped into paying to see the car get destroyed in the opening credits. I would have rather seen a whole new story without the car than see it get trashed so soon. Honestly Miller should feel ashamed for exploiting our loyalty/enthusiasm. When I build my supercharged BOB/Interceptor its going to be based on film 2 because Fury Road is simply a reboot wherein Max is both literally and figuratively just a passenger in someone else's vehicle.
@@Impactjunky I'm glad you and many other fans noticed the finer details that went into the cars. The main reason George Miller wanted the Interceptor in the film, particularly right at the beginning of the film was to help tie the film into the Mad Max universe, the car, and max's jacket are essentially the two key items that people instantly recognise as being Mad Max, so the car needed to be there. It would have been nice if the car got more than a minute of screen time but at least it does come back for a bit longer in its Razor Cola form.
@@Restoprep Yeah sorry for venting on you so hard. I do legitimately love what you did with the car. Obviously that's why I'm so bothered by the lack of screen time. Thanks for taking the job so seriously though. The effort you put into the car helped immensely with "world building" and to keen eyes the car even tells a story all its own. Thus I mean you no offense when I say it was wasted effort.
@@Impactjunky All good mate, I didn't take it in that way at all. :)
Also one thing I'd like to clarify: A lot of people are saying that the game by Cory Barlog and George Miller actually came out. That's not true. It never came out. What came out was a different game made by Avalanche Studios and WB without George Miller's involvement. The game by Avalanche Studios and WB is roughly based on the story from the comic books and borrows heavily from other backstories by George Miller without his permission, so it contains spoilers from the upcoming Furiosa which George Miller would've never allowed to be published in a game. Hence, George Miller distanced himself from that game, you won't find his name in the credits nor anyone else's who worked on Fury Road.
Thank you for this fantastic profile on the Interceptor, very enjoyable for a 60 year old fan who enjoyed every iconic film in the series on the big screen upon their exciting release! Keep up the exceptional content my friend!
Always an inspiration, Bible! You out do yourself in ever aspect of production, video after video! I am so grateful to be along for the ride!
You are so welcome!
The inteceptor,my onw favorite mad max car😎
Thanks for this awesome behind the story. I'm a 47 years old Brazilian dude. I started to love V8 and this type of cars because the two Mad Max movies. I took the bus to go home after high school classes and, very often, I went two bus stops ahead just to see a rare Pontiac Trans Am in a car dealership. V8 cars are extremely rare around here...
Your knowledge of Mad Max is amazing. Would love to hear the Bubba Zanetti story.
Seconded. Dude is the most stoic of all the Zed Runners. Right up there with Max and his all of sixteen lines in the whole film. =]
Toecutter: quit toying with him bubba:bubba z: easy I know what I'm doing!! I don't know about you but in the first movie you get the feeling that bubba and toecutter are kinda like Hitler and Himmler,toecutter may have been the boss but bubba was the quite ,in the shadows brains of the gang
@@jonathancox1231 The only time i think he even raises his voice is after vehemently protesting about collecting Johnny the Boy from the Bronze. Essentially calling Johnny dead weight.
Bubba Zanetti "Joviality is a game of children." Toecutter: fires shotgun. "Mud guts! Get out of there! Candalini! Put her against the post! We, have a problem here. She is not what she seems. Bubba Zanetti, has it on good authority. She's sent by the Bronze. Full of treachery! The Bronze....take our pride."
Welcome back, Mad Max Bible! Let's ride fellow Wastelanders!
Come along, let's roll!
Mediocre!!
Witness!!!!!
My brain is very dirty
Oh what a day
Oh what a video! What a wonderul video! Seriously, your work here is outstanding. The editing, the research... I can definitely see how this took 2 months. The story of and behind these movies is so interesting, and there is nobody I've seen who's told them better than you.
Wow, thank you!
I've been working as a mechanic/fabricator for the past 14 years and have been a Mad Max fan since I was a kid. I would die happy if I ever got to work on the cars for a Mad Max film.
Great video , the XA and XB Ford Falcons are one of my favourite cars , probabky made even rarer with these MAD MAX films
Wow, what an excellent synopsis and the details are incredible. Huge fan of Mad Max after seeing the Road Warrior on VHS tape when I was a kid.
Astonishing in-depth look to one of the most iconic movie-props in history. Or dare I say, supporting character. The Interceptor means so much to Mad Max and his perception
Dude you did a GREAT job with this video.. So many Pursuit Special videos with all the lore and stuff but you dug EXTRA deep and put some info in there that I didn't know!.. Great Job man!
Amazingly detailed story of the car and it's origin. Great work mate!
The amount of detail put into these cars is amazing, truly beautiful. Thanks for covering this video with such passion and accurate details!
You’re doing an incredible work bringing these videos to us. Thank you so much. Mad Max is my favourite saga ever and your videos literally give me life. Thank you again and keep doing so well. Very big hug from Spain.
Wow, been waiting for this video for so long! love it :) Really happy to have my question answered about why it wasn't a manual, I know it wasn't much but I love that you included it :D
As a Mad Max fan since the 80's, this is a great bit of history behind the the Interceptor
This is the best detailed mad max video iv ever seen. Plus it answers alot of the questions iv had for years. Thank you so much brother. Your amazing
One of my favorite franchises. This car has always been a part of my "Movie/TV Want Car List". Love it. Thanks for that great video history.
The production of your video is incredible. Thank you so much!
I’m incredibly impressed with the levels of research you put into this. I like to think I know a bit about the films, until I watch one of your efforts. Huge thanks, please keep them coming. 👍👍
This is an extremely in-depth and detailed video on the series. I am blown away at all the research and presentation put into this video! Kudos!
Dude, I was randomly googling and this popped up. Thank you, I'm not even a car guy and I was enraptured by it all. Thank you, so much! The detail and skill has been witnessed.
This is the best documentation I've ever seen on these vehicles. Top job!!
I did not know about the broken headlight cover's shape. That's a great piece of trivia!
Glorious video as always ! Keep up the amazing work :D
This video means so much to me. My cousin and I used to literally attempt to replicate these cars, best we could back in the hood. He passed some time ago but man...those Mad Max Marathons on a Saturday afternoon in Queens, NY...Most excellent content!❤🔥
Soo glad to see you back, man! This was *such* a satisfying video, so informative, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding video!! thank you for taking the time to research the right informations, I feel like unwrapping a Christmas present as I watch your videos :)
Ah man! So much great content in this video! Also much needed recognition to the real people who put in the hard work for the films.
Awesome man, I love it, the car, the video, everything Mad Max, thank you for that and keep it up!
Very well done! I always treasure information about my favorite car that I didn't know before.Keep making great videos.
And you're officially one of the greatest/underrated automotive KZheadrs now. I don't think Top Gear could do this much detective research for a movie car's backstory.
love these videos mate keep up the good work
just watched the part I missed during the premiere. What a lovely video, I really learned a lot about both the process and the history of the car
Fantastic video as always!!!! Thank you for all the research and hard work putting this and all your videos together!
This is just an extraordinary video, cheers from Chile!
Thanks for taking the time,and making the effort to create these videos💥👊😎
Thanks for all the hard work, it's great to see how things worked out, and amazing to think how long Fury Road was in being made!
This was so well put together, ive just started the 2015 game and your videos have inspired me to watch the movies. Thanks for all the work you put in to your channel
If you've played the game it also gives a pretty good explanation on how Max could've rebuild the interceptor
Your channel is great man!
Fantastic amount of information you have gathered and well researched.
I had to share this video I watched from a channel I'm subscribed to, it gave me goosebumps, he's a car and mad Max fan. Beautiful work 💞.
Excellent video - the V8 Interceptor is truly a piece of history!!
The production quality of these videos only gets better!
This interceptor is the reason why I own two dodge challenger.. since I was a kid and saw this movie I fell in love with that car and the retro design reminds me of that classic beauty..
Great video, probably the most informative one I’ve seen on the legend that is Max’s car.. thanks for posting.
Your videos are always a real treat. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
A Mad Max TV show could actually work very well, it could add more depth and lore about it's characters, factions and locations while still being entertaining.
Holy christ, this was beyond thorough! Cant imagine all the work put into this!
I. Am. Impressed. Wow. What an informative video. You literally covered everything. 🙏🏻
Man, the in universe story and Miller wanting to show Max building the car makes me wish that the Mad Max 2015 game was canon to the movies
Same here. The crazy part is how far that idea went! As I was researching it just kept going back and back until the 80's. I know George Miller likes to hold on to ideas but this was something else.
Even though it isn't canon, honestly considering how much it seems to line up with the canon story and explains so much, I like to think it's at least closed to what happened. It has such great content that shows and establishes the collapse of the old world and the stark contrast between it and the new one, along with explaining a lot of what got Max to where he is at the beginning of Fury Road.
Excellent video and details about the car etcetera! Interesting and fun while a bit depressing how such work by all involved especially George Miller had to wait or scrap plans or parts of his true vision! Did that fabricator who built the three cars get in trouble for breaking union rules? My older brother is a welder/ fabricator who has worked on several Hollywood films etc and he tells me stories about rules on things that make the Mafia seem tame... Mad Max and his Interceptor was one of my favorite movie cars when I was a early teen! Thanks for the memories!
Great job, man! I loved the video! Is there information available about the chrome version of the Interceptor that the Warboys drive during the war rig escape? And what happened to him after the movie? Could this be a video suggestion? Thanks for the work, dude! A hug from Brazil!
Awesome video! Been a Mad Max fan for decades and this was excellent information- thanks!
Thank you for this very well put together documentary. So well researched and all, awesome, so very awesome. :D
Wow, this is the first time I hear about the TV series. Thanks for delving into the lore!
The attention to detail in the production of these movies, culminating in Fury Road, is so amazing and admirable. The touches that no-one would see, the explanations for changes down to the wheel rim sizes, and the dedication to the story that would have the “hero car” be used and destroyed in the stunt. I mourn that that hero car isn’t out there in a museum where we could marvel at it and all of its details, but these choices are exactly why Mad Max feels like a real world with real stakes and consequences. When you’re willing to sacrifice a quarter-million dollar prop representing hundreds of hours of labor, that dedication to storytelling comes through to the watcher. It’s how a “car” movie with little dialog can be so moving.
@@SwedishEmpire1700 - Ok, fair enough. I agree that Mad Max 2 was the high-point of the series generally, though I personally feel Fury Road to be the high-point of the production. The vehicles, props, and attention to detail in that movie was really something special. For instance, the interiors of the vehicles (aside from Max’s pursuit special) were never really highlighted before whereas this film included hand made iconography throughout that made the cult of Joe feel like something beyond the band of mercenaries who had coalesced around Humungus. For example, I appreciated the hammered metal interior of Furiosa’s truck and the locking accelerator made from (I believe) a foot measurer from a shoe store. But, yes - the culminating movie has to be the Road Warrior, I agree.
Wow! Seriously impressive video. The attention to detail is above and beyond most videos on KZhead.
This is great, thanks for sharing! Who would've thought there are such colorful histories behind what some would consider as just only a movie prop. Awesome research my guy.
Great video! I'm researching this version of the Interceptor because I'm scratch building a body for HO scale slot cars. I already have the "Pretty" Mad Max and the worn down Road Warrior versions.
That’s really cool! Would love to see videos of those cars especially racing on a track!
As usual it's an incredible video lad ! I can't imagine all the work/ research behind the video . Do you have any news or update concerning furious ? Cheers all the way from France !
furiosa *
Hey, glad you liked the video! Yeah, they're filming reshoots now. Not much to report on besides that!
@@MadMaxBible okkk thx ;)
Brilliantly edited and researched. Great video!
I nearly shed a tear at the end learning the car was distroyed, and then found out one survived , I was on a emotional rollercoaster, I have grown up with madmax films and I am a true petrol head I would love to see the intercepter in the flesh it's on my bucket list and if I win the lotto I'm building one , great vid 👍👍👍👍👍
seeing $9500 for a falcon coupe hurts considering their prices today
Max isn't max in fury road. I feel like tom hardy is the furry kid that uses the name as max
The comics will tell you otherwise
Another banger vid as usual. Thank you for keeping these videos going
This was such a cool video. I'm glad this world has people in it who are capable of the fixation that it took to make this. Keep going.
Fury Road was really disappointing imo. Wasn’t the same without Mel
Mel was planned for the role, but by the time the film started production he was already too old apparently. Personally I think it still would have worked but I wasn’t there so I can’t speak for the film makers. That being said the practical effects, writing, and world building of fury road are absolutely brilliant with or without the brilliant acting of Mel Gibson.
Excellent job on this documentary. Thank you!
I am not even a huge fan of the movies, but couldn't stop watching this documentary. Outstanding piece of work.
Amazing work again, my man!
You are an absolute hero for making this. I pieced some of this together myself but nowhere near what you've got here. Thank you!
Very cool, thank you for putting it together!
Great content. Fantastic channel. Thank you for documenting!
Great video mate! And what a amazing set of cars 😍
thank you so much for this video, it was great stuff!
Holy crap, this video is amazing! The timing, the footage, this is incredible.
Nice one, fantastic video, love the films but especially the Interceptor. Thanks.
What a fascinating video, amazing work and research!
This is an awesome video! Thank you very much for making it! Liked and subscribed!
Superb work by yourself on this informative video and everyone on the movie
We totally LOVED this video!!!! Was hoping to see a bit on the Razor Cola version towards the end. Next video maybe? Keep up this amazing work. Each vid you publish is better than the last....... and your first ones were awesome, so top notch mate!!
One of the best KZhead videos I’ve watched. Subscribed.
Great video as always, love this stuff.
great video and a lot of interesting stories, always loved the interceptor
Excellent ! Amaizing documentation work 👍
Thanks for the investigation and amazing video!
That was awesome to watch! Thanks you very much!
Excellent video, very informative! I live in the UK and when i was very young there was a replica of the mad max 2 interceptor in cars of the stars Keswick. Even sat in it a few times.
One of the few channels where I leave a like before the video even starts. Awesome stuff as usual mate
Fantastic detailed thank you. Huge Mad Max fan.
