Including the Black & Chrome version and the 4K UHD BD in the set make this a must buy.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Can someone describe the point of the B&WC edition? Is it a gimmick or is there a reason it's a thing?

In many ways Fury Road is a love letter to silent films, Buster Keaton's in particular. Miller and his wife put this version together while editing the theatrical version.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Can I just turn the color down on my TV and achieve the same effect?

Spoiler

j/k

 

[BajiBoxer]

Controversial scenes?

Conversational.

 

[Ridley327]

I totally expected the collection to not include the Black and Chrome edition, but it sounds like it does?

So. Fucking. Bought.

Yeah, it looks like it's laid out like this:

On Blu-ray:
-Mad Max
-The Road Warrior
-Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome
-Mad Max: Fury Road
-Mad Max: Fury Road (Black & Chrome)
Plus special features where they apply

On UHD:
-Mad Max: Fury Road

And then a digital copy of Mad Max: Fury Road to round out the whole package.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Furiosa did cause some controversy with her conversational scenes

...what? She was great.

 

[Discotheque]

Conversational.

Constitutional

 

[awesome_pants]

Waiting for the slew of tweets from Kojima when he buys this.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Lame that black and chrome was cut out of the original. I had to pirate that fan made one before to watch it the intended way. Will be buying it again it seems... sigh

 

[Struct09]

...what? She was great.

I agree 100%. However, some MRA's do not.

Yeah I missed the UHD part in all the excitement. That pretty much makes it a no-brainer to get the box set and I already own all the individual blu-rays and some re-releases...=/

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Also the black and white ver. of The Mist was awesome too.
Check it out if you haven't already:

[Barkley's Justice]

Whats with the pricing disparity between Bluray vs DVD? They're both mastered from the same source...

That second gif doesn't look too hot though. lol

Oh, them, right. I just figured MRA's had an aneurysm at Furiosa in general.

That second gif doesn't look too hot though. lol

It's better than the color version. :lol

A lot of the effects in The Mist were really...unfortunate. They're better in B&W.

I bet the dog fucker who wrote this was the guy who asked this question

 

[Irnbru]

Perfect in every way

Well, Blu-rays are almost always a bit more expensive than DVDs, but it seems like the culprit is the Blu-ray set including the UHD disc of Fury Road.

[Jesus Carbomb]

Nice for the fans but the 3d version is the definitive release for me. I can't watch Fury Road any other way.

 

[RustyNails]

SO SHINY

 

[Simo]

For those curious there's been some chatter on the next Mad Max films from John Seale, DP on the film, and Mark Sexton, storyboard artist, where a Furiosa script is now done, originally set as a anime prequel in 2009. They're almost done on a Max centered script that's a prequel to Fury Road tentatively titled "The Wasteland" and is said to be more bleaker.

 

[Tankard]

Bought the blu-ray day 1, will buy this one too.

 

[Loxley]

Hell yes.

 

[Bearthgar]

I like the colors too much to let go

 

[Killer Queen]

Conversational.

Conversational.

Reading is hard. Makes infinitely more sense now though.

Mmh, I wonder why they would make The Wasteland a prequel. Max was a mess at the beginning of Fury Road :/

 

[Oveja Negra]

Day one!!!!!!!!!!

I think the wasteland will be quite different much like the trilogy was in its individual films and it might annoy some fans of fury road.

So excited for it tho. Let the god get back to work.

 

[Chris R]

Nice for the fans but the 3d version is the definitive release for me. I can't watch Fury Road any other way.

Maybe the Black&Chrome edition will cut the bullshit scene of the wheel flying "into the screen" after the big wreck at the end!

These two have been rumored for like over a year now, though, haven't they? Or is this more "these two scripts are still kicking around"?

 

[Toparaman]

Well, whatever people want to see and to each their own, I guess. But every shot/scene I've seen of this, I just kept thinking how the colored version looked better.

We haven't seen how the B&W version looks yet. There is color grading involved even in B&W, if I'm understanding correctly.

 

[robotrock]

Whooaaaa glad this is coming out finally

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Oh get over it already. A couple seconds of gimmicky 3d doesn't hurt the film one bit.

 

[True Savior]

What about a version with good grading? That would be cool.

 

[Mobius 1]

Beautiful

 

[antispin]

What a lovely Blu-ray!

.

 

[robotrock]

Is the black and white version also just the films sound track? I read that's what the plan for it was.

Is this still happening? I really hope it is.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I'll just turn the color on my tv to 0 and save some cash

 

[gatti-man]

No 4K not buy. But I'm glad there isn't additional commentary or I'd be super tempted.

 

[esai]

Day one again. Really hope it includes the score only version.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

That High Octane release... Jesus. What an amazing deal.

That and the rumored rift between Miller and WB. If this set is now coming and the talk of those 2 Mad Max scripts......

No way. Is there anywhere I can read about this? I hope that we get the other 2 MM films.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Goddamn.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Interesting. I don't think I'd ever watch the black and white version over the normal version anyway. The color adds so much beauty to the film.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

This reminds me of how much I want a full black and white version of Blade Runner after seeing this fan-made trailer.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Not sure what's so amazing about this black and chrome edition.The film had some amazing use of colours, especially during the night-time sequence, and even otherwise. Very vibrant movie. I wouldn't want to have it any other way. Might check it out because I'm curious.

 

[Mango Positive]

I already double dipped to get the 3D and UHD versions. Doubt I'm in for just black and white, but the package certainly looks cool.

 

[Toxi]

I am interested in how well the movie will transition to that style. Even if the B&W does not work for me, everything else in the High Octane version looks fantastic.

 

[Simo]

These two have been rumored for like over a year now, though, haven't they? Or is this more "these two scripts are still kicking around"?

Yeah the same stuff but they've cropped up again recently where a month ago Mark was on a podcast and confirmed the Furiosa script was finished and was quite an epic yarn spanning many years. John Seale talked about this project too and I believe they took the anime script for Furiosa's prequel and have as such expanded and adapted it to be a full live action picture after the success of Fury Road and Furiosa's popularity.

Mark also spoke about "The Wasteland" how it still needed more work but it was also incredibly bleak and focused on Max.

No way. Is there anywhere I can read about this? I hope that we get the other 2 MM films.

It's a lot of insider stuff from people who worked on the movie or with/for KMM. It's basically a money and budget issue.

I'm likely getting the box set but I wish it came like this...

 

[ezekial45]

Some guy made a fan version of the B&C edition and posted it on Vimeo, and it looked really amazing. I'm definitely keen on seeing the official version from Miller.

I'm so glad I didn't buy the movie yet on BR, this is the best opportunity.
