Mad Max: Fury Road

[Darth Nata]

Mel Gibson may have been born in America but he considers himself Australian. Anyway Mad Max has too be played by an Aussie. Anyone else trying to do our accent just comes off as a caricature.

 

[scifiwolf]

lol - I know. I was just bustin chops. I totally understand that it's a matter of national pride. It's like Bond or Superman - they need to be actors of proper nationality. I'm not too up on who's a good Aussie to fill the role, but the good thing about a Brit is that at least that's "extended family."

 

[Darkly Dexter]

no Mel, no Mad Max

 

[Darkfly]

no Mel = CRAP

 

[Darth Rockwell]

Mel = rasict nut job = flop

 

[Darkly Dexter]

Mel= Great director and actor

I don't give a s*** what he says and does in his personal life.

 

[xwolverine2]

2 + 2 = Mel

 

[tyler-durden]

I thought 2+2=4, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD??!!!!

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

god... i would have loved to see an old Max fighting his last fight ...

Same here....

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Well...In a way it's better than doing a Remake!!!

I kind of wish that's what they should have done with the Escape From New York remake.....instead of remaking it...why not just use the Snake character and do a different escape movie. I always wanted to see Escape from Earth like Carpenter talked about

Apocalypto $40m budget, made $120m nationwide.

Your logic = laughable.

I thought it would have been cool to see a escape from n.y. prequel, to see what happened before that movie and I wouldn't have cared if they used a different actor. As long as it had the same feel as Escape from N.Y.

Too easy...

 

[C. Lee]

I wish Mel would be in it....he is Max.

 

[tyler-durden]

But he's also a racist drunk.

 

[C. Lee]

But he's also a racist drunk.

Then you don't have to go see it if he's in it.....but he should be Max.

 

[tyler-durden]

I probably won't see it then. That and he already said he won't be doing it anyway.

 

[C. Lee]

That's your perogative....and I know he said he wouldn't do it....I was just saying that I personally would like for him to play Max again. I saw the first Mad Max at the theater on its first run here in the U.S. and no one knew what it was.....I've been a Max fan for many years.

 

[tyler-durden]

That's cool man, I know you're a big fan and all, but truthfully do you really believe that mel is gonna do it again.

 

[C. Lee]

I never said that I thought he would....just that I would like to see him do it.

 

[deathshead2]

Im cool with this movie pulling a Bond.
Its worked before.

 

[tyler-durden]

Guess, I wasn't paying attention C. Lee

 

[C. Lee]

Guess, I wasn't paying attention C. Lee

Maybe you're punch-drunk.

 

[tyler-durden]

No just drunk.

 

[Downhere]

But he's also a racist drunk.

Most people in Hollywood are wack jobs, but you can still appreciate their talent in films.
