Yeah, that's one of the few things I would have changed. I seem to recall they did it earlier in the film as well, one of guys on the bikes throws something towards the screen.

Will probably go again today. Alone this time.
Have to see this movie at least 2 more times in order to repent for my Furious 7 ticket.

I want to see a playground fight go there. Someone pulling a girl's hair and walking away. Then the girl climbs the slide a bit and launches off towards her attacker and screams, "WITNESS ME!"
This film is pretty damn bleak.

I mean yeah it can be at times, but there I'll has pretty much a completely happy ending, so watching it doesn't depress you are anything. You come out of the theater feeling like you watched a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy in terms of tone.

YAY! There's Solo. The party is complete now I believe.
While you don't leave the film feeling depressed, the feeling after this is pretty far removed from Guardians of the Galaxy in my opinion. Yeah, it ends on a high note on a certain level, but the world is still completely fucked at the end.

You think? I mean at the end... (Spoilers?)
All of the good guys win, all of the bad guys lose, the message is that anything is possible through teamwork and empathy in your fellow man, and there's every reason to believe they'll lead the citadel into a new age of prosperity. Food, water, shelter, technology, and peace. The ending of the film is literally the best thing that could have happened to those people, and there's still always a chance they can explore the salt later once their city is significantly sized. The fact that everything can eventually be fixed is supported by how much our main characters have achieved in the film. They made the impossible possible before, why not again? Friendship defeats all enemies.
It has a happier ending than all of the Hunger Games movies even

And they still have the rest of the War Boys that will eventually get back from the canyon whenever they get through. And the armies of Bullet Town and Gas Town to deal with. Once they potentially stop providing mother's milk and water for those towns, you know shit is going to hit the fan hard. And we don't even know how sustainable the crops are. They may not have enough to take care of many of the people at the citadel.
But, those are hypotheticals. And even with your best case scenario and the one I posted, the world is still fucked.
The film's only as violent as it needs to be and leaves most of the gore to the imagination without excess. It's tasteful and careful with its compositions.
I suspect it's because Miller had to shoot both an "R" and "PG-13" version of the film for Warner Bros.
They test-screened both cuts and the "R" version received higher praise.

Just as good on the second viewing. The film is so watchable and entertaining. Pacing is just perfect.
To give you an idea, in France Fury Road doesn't have a rating, not even "-12".
We just have a "Warning: scenes, words or images may offend the sensibilities of the audience"

Only two times I can think of why it's an R in america
I think she'll be fine.
I think there were some boob shots in the beginning with the breast pumps, big deal.
The mutilation that happens later in the movie... which isn't even graphic

I think you will love The Guest. Fantastic movie. Awesome acting and setup, plus its pretty dark in its own way. Let me know what you think when you watch it.

Take her, for sure. It really is one of the few great action movies that doesn't brush women aside. There is some disturbing stuff in the movie, but often it happens at a distance or off screen. I can't think that of a single shot that was gratuitous.
Am I the only one who noticed that there's a scene in this movie where
The movie doesn't linger on the gore, but there are definitely reasons for it to be R.
a polecat gets an explosive detonated on their chest and you can see their exposed ribcage as they swing away?

I took my almost-11 daughter last weekend and she loved it. There's nothing terribly inappropriate shown, as most of the worst things are implied.

Also, "Cheers to MAXs not to run away but fight for future. What a lovely day."
Is he talking about Konami or something?
I thought he said in an interview that he watches a movie everyday
I know you're just joking but it doesn't work here

Got the same impression.

It's pretty easy to watch a movie every day. It's a lot harder to watch a movie every day in IMAX!
Yup, I remember that.
Agreed. It's why this movie works so well - the violent moments do not disrupt the action itself.
Damn he must really love this movie, second time he saw it.
I always knew Kojima was a cool dude.
I viewed it a second time last night and a thought occurred to me: Most of the dialogue in the action sequences had to have been executed with ADR. Shooting for 130 days in the Namibia desert and mostly consisting of mobile, intricate sequences must have been a NIGHTMARE for the sound team.
Saw it for the third time tonight and I still feel like seeing it again haha. The cinema had Dolby Atmos installed and it was quite the experience hearing Brother In Arms play through them. I might be getting a tad too addicted to this film lol.

Anyone seen this with DBOX? wonder how much it adds to the movie.

Or maybe the MGSV is gold, and Konami's sitting on completed code.
Some theater chains don't schedule their movies for the weekend until like, Thursday. (Regal, I'm looking at you.)

Saw it with Dbox Saturday and both my gf and I thought it was a blast! Definitely a gimmick that I don't see being worth it for the majority of movies, but this one? Yeah, I thought it was VERY cool.

I hope Kojima actually does go see it everyday.
So she's 10; so you obviously felt she was mature enough to handle it right? Had you seen it before taking her? I'm glad you took her. Powerful role-model that Imperator Furiosa!
ohh okay, cool. I thought that might be the case. Definitely gonna see it again this weekend.

They schedule on Tuesday nights.
So basically, by tonight, most chains will know what they're running this Friday.

There's a similar kind of weirdness to the bad guys in the Mad Max movies and the bad guys in MGS games, I can see why Kojima is a fan.
You just want to watch the film more than once. Admit it.
Yup. Kojima directed Mad Max game would be epic!
