God dammit. I really wanted this.
Bummer. I wanted that cut soooooo bad!
Looks like I'll have to wait and hope for a Special Directors Cut Edition. :/
Gonna consider the Collectors Edition despite the risk of it potentially not playing in NA.
Edit: well, scratch the collectors edition: it's unavailable already on Amazon UK.
Time to check alternatives.

I don't know about where you live, but in the Portland area, Fury Road officially hits the second run and beer theaters starting this Friday.

The special features also make it sound it has one of those "Maximum Movie" modes where George Miller, Hardy and Theron present how the movie was made.
Gotta say, called it months back they'd release the blu and game on the same day. Fucking great idea as I know what I'll be doing all day, and week! lol
Dolby Atmos? Ugh. Those tracks always play hell with my player and receiver and there are weird audio delays that cause the audio to go out of sync with the picture.
But, if any film is going to make me want to get a new player that won't have issues with Atmos, this is it. Time to start shopping for a new blu ray player, even if my current Panasonic is still aces outside of Atmos.
Let us know what you get huh? I'll add more but I'm posting from phone

The problem is that everything I have now works fine except for the few Atmos titles I own. Maybe I can pass off the expense to my wife by saying we need more HDMI inputs. The player is another story, since the current one is fine.
Perhaps excuse it as saying we can hook the old stuff up in the spare bedroom once we finally get a TV for up there.

I guess I didn't watch the movie enough times, because I don't even remember seeing this guy :/

How I wish that was how they did the lightsaber fights instead of that dancing routine.

Thanks! I had forgotten about them, and most War Boys are way younger so I was surprised when I saw the video above.
I'll be sure to get the Blu Ray when it comes out.
This is unbelievable.
I would love to see George Miller direct one of the SW anthology films.
Seriously just get George Miller to direct episode IX.

I wonder if the Mad Max Anthology is going to include the full-featured version of Fury Road.
I'd love to get the full series set, but I'd rather buy the movies individually if the Anthology doesn't have all of the special features from the standalone Fury Road release.

YEEEEEESSSSS
I asked earlier in the thread and was told she was killed in a cut scene.
BTW has it been confirmed no sequel will be done?
So, MGSV and Mad Max: Fury Road BD release on the same day? Best birthday ever!
Huh..? Metal Gear?!
If a sequel ever does get made I demand something like this be in it:
There was apparently a deleted scene where she's killed by the Organic Mechanic. No idea what happened to him, though.

This. Would be epic to reveal the main villain with a scene like this. (Hell, perhaps even more ridiculous for the sake of it.)Huh..? Metal Gear?!

Been reading that Best Buy is getting a steelbook with Max staring at Joe's war party (it's one of the better posters imo). Definitely getting that one.

Well the collector's edition of the Mad Max game includes the Blu Ray and it comes out 1st of September.

I don't go in for steelbooks typically, but if that's the version of the blu-ray with the best possible poster as the cover, then I guess I'm getting that steelbook.

so where do you guys have this movie ranked among greatest action movies of all time
is it on the same tier as Terminator 2 and Die Hard?

Without going into a fan-driven hyperbole, I'd honestly have to answer yes to that, which I'm surprised I can say about a Hollywood-driven action movie nowadays.
Absolutely
I'd say it slightly edges out both movies.

That one? Most badass poster for the film being used as the cover art makes that a no brainer purchase.
I really try not to engage in hyperbole but - yes, it's in that tier. I think it's absolutely on par with T2, and in some ways surpasses it.
#####
I've been watching some videos recently analyzing the film and found this one insightful. It's a study of one scene showing how Miller frames the action in the center of the screen, which helps action scenes that feature quick cutting to still be comprehensible since viewers don't have to refocus between shots.

Not quite as awesome zoomed in like that, but still badass. I will be there the second they open that day.

I hope that's a plastic slipcase where the title and bluray logo disappears once you remove the slipcase

The title will be on the steel book itself. The blu ray banner will most likely be a cardboard backer with a flap that goes over the front slightly.

honestly? Months away from its release, hype/nostalgia/hyperbole aside?
yes
throw Raiders in there as well
Yes - and I saw both of the above in the theater during their original release and hype. MM fucking delivered the goods.
Nothing tops seeing Raiders in the theater the first time though with the audience cheering etc

So once it's out on BD, how long do you guys think it will take for the sequel announcement? I would assume/hope the home release would help make the movie profitable enough to warrant a sequel.

Isn't Kojima a huuuuge Mad Max (and George Miller) fanatic? Judging from his Twitter he must've gone 8 times to the theater to watch Fury Road.
I looked that up after reading it, and to my disappointment discovered that's only going to be available in Australia and New Zealand.

Without a doubt. I prefer it to both, actually.
Yep, he's talked in the past about Road Warrior being one of his top five favorite/most influential films of all time.
