Don't forget, a 4-issue comic series of same name was released at the time, and also unrelated to forgotten 2015 video game just called Mad Max.
1990 NES game bearing identical name is based on Mad Max 2, but is actually a remake of Road Raider (1988).
Right, time to start those engines.
Anna Taylor-Joy - Adult Furiosa
Chris Hemsworth - Dementus
Tom Burke - Praetorian Jack
Alyla Browne - Child/Teenage Furiosa
Lachy Hulme - Immortan Joe
Charlee Fraser - Mary Jo Bassa
Summary
Film spans five parts, chapters or whatever.
1. The Pole of Inaccessibility
2. Lessons from the Wasteland
3. The Stowaway
4. Homeward
5. Beyond Vengeance
Following a global catastrophe, Australia has become a radioactive wasteland and the Green Place of Many Mothers is one of the few areas to still boast multiple resources.
A young Furiosa is captured by a masked biker gang and delivered to warlord Dementus.
During a power struggle between Dementus and Immortan Joe in Gastown (the second fortress of the wasteland), 15 years later, "Little D" embarks on a mission to avenge her mother's death at the hands of adoptive father.
Justice and retribution
While never as impressive as original, origin story is still good.
Thor has an absolute blast portraying goofy villain and chews up every scene.
He throws down the gauntlet to his gang by saying:
"Who's got the goods, the bollocks, the testes, to ride with Dementus?"
Action takes over an hour to get going, but unbroken 15 minute chase sequence is pretty spectacular, even if CG does the heavy lifting.
Will a sequel to Fury Road be greenlit?
Hopefully.
