There's actually quite a few more, that may or may not be intentional.
The one I think is intentional is...
The fight with the Doof Warrrior on bungies could be seen as a callback to the Thunderdome fight
Miller said in the Q&A that he was trying to make a film that you could understand with almost no dialogue, and it kind of shows. It's a very visual film, and you understand most of the plot through action and visual cues instead of dialogue exposition.
It does. Disney does that in their movies. You see them without dialogue and it tells the story by itself, and you can clearly know what is going on. I think this kind of narrative is more difficult but also more effective. I like how every shot showed something important. Not for the sake of showing mayhem or what not.
Great movie. It has a lot of layers of story embedded in it too. can't wait to watch it again.

"If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die historic on the Fury Road."
This movie was quite something, have had few days to digest since the premiere and Fury Road just keeps staying in my thoughts.
The moral core of the movie was rock solid, and complemented with the care and absolute craftsmanship of the visuals this certainly is landmark tier in the action genre at least.
Somehow reminds me of Miyazaki's stuff too, with the care and love to everything on screen and heart and message of it all. Superb combination. The ending could have been botched so easily, but is so effortlessly perfect now. God damn.

I love how they handled the gore in this film.
Almost all of it was done via audio or quick cut. Nothing was lingered on. Much more effective I felt.

Yup. Really surprised by it though I would not have really been upset with a little more gore. After all it is R rated and showing a bit of blood in this wasteland would have really sold me even more on how dangerous this environment is. I mean the saw man could have had an RE4 death moment and I would not have had a problem.

Sold out
Unfortunately I can't find anywhere online that sells any yet. I suspect my local cinema or comic book store will, but I have to actually go to those places.

I'm not into gore at all, but I felt like it really pulled its punches a few times. It's not a big deal to me, but I think a tiny bit of gore could've gone a long way.

Just got back and the movie outdid my personal hype.
Holy shit, the marriage of artistry, drama, and action is so beautiful.
It makes me so sad that people are sleeping on this.
On the other hand if Miller is not involved in future Max's (if there are any at this point) I'm not sure I would be open to that idea.

I'm in the UK and see quite a few on Amazon, but I'm not sure if I want to buy from them.
Why did Tom Hardy mumble so much? He seems to have issues playing "big guys" since a couple of movies ago or doesn't want to anymore and started to change his voice. His voice didn't really work for me in this and would have wished for some "bigger" moments with him. He totally played second fiddle to Charlize, not just in the plot but also acting.
I feel the same way. I guess going to the movie theatre later might get you a copy of the poster for free when they are discarding some.

Because he hadn't talked to another human being in years.
I love how each action scene is completely distinctive and unique.

Okay, this poster that Bobby posted:
Edit: I see he fixed his link
Hopefully, yeah. They also sell a few, including really cool variants which always surprises me.
is damn awesome. Might just be the one I'll buy if I can find it.

It worked for me. Max is not a social man and his only goal is to be left alone. It makes sense the character is not the greatest communicator in the world.
So watched this earlier. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm not sure it was the classic masterpiece I was perhaps anticipating based on some of the reviews and impressions. Don't get me wrong, there were so many amazing elements, scenes, set pieces, shots, set ups and all the rest, but it just lacked a little something. Maybe some added exposition, character development, humanity and emotion. I respect the no frills, no time wasting directness of it, but it just felt like it needed more to glue it altogether besides the beautiful cinematography and non stop action.
I definitely want to watch it again mind, and will buy it on Blu Ray in a heart beat. On first watch, I'd probably give it an 8.5/10, but will reserve final judgement till after a second viewing.

Because he's legitimately crazy. Mad Max is not just the title of the movie.

Back from my 2nd viewing. The movie was still as good as the first time. The showdown is an absolute masterpiece. Wish our cinema would show the OV. I can't stand watching movies in German any more.

This could be the best Mad Max movie to date. I'm not sure yet.
The Road Warrior looks woefully lo-fi in comparison.

It's opening here in Pakistan on May 22nd. Was initially coming out on 29th, but no! I'll be seeing it in some days! Fuck yea!

Thats the point, his character is
completely broken and borderline insane.
He latches onto Furiosa's desire for redemption and gains some of his humanity back through that.

One of my favorite scenes. So good!
This movie.
This. fucking. movie.
I loved it so much, might go see it again...
I agree with this though. Story and character wise it was rather basic. However it was just such a joy to watch, fantastic visual direction and amazing action set pieces.

After a few days, there are 2 scenes that have really stuck with me for some reason:
-
-
-
Max (feat. Nux on a Chain) vs. Furiosa (feat. Wives) fighting near the big rig. The fight choreography with the chain is a lot of fun and adds so much to what could've been a pretty standard brawl.
When Max was desperately trying to get the mask off for like 5 minutes, increasing in speed every time they cut back to him. Nice bit of comedy in an otherwise intense buildup to the next big action scene.

There was one yesterday just slightly smaller than theater-size, and I ALMOST got it, and decided against it for stupid, stickler-ish reasons.
It's gone now, and the only one of Style C left is an 11x17. Bleh.

really?
while I respect your opinion. I feel like if it ended any other way I would have left the theater in a bad mood.
The films heroes get their ass kicked for the fist third, brutally too.
I really enjoyed how the film ended.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I thought about the same. The story and characters were serviceable, but nothing special. I assumed Furiosa would be the heart of the movie, but even she was pretty shallow.

This quote...
...is pretty ridiculous. There's so many holes in that statement. The movie essentially made that statement as well, which I find silly.
