This is what George Miller himself has said. He's even addressed the Feral Kid theory, and said it's not true.
Max is Max Rockatansky, and "Fury Road" is just another story in the mythology/legend.

That is awesome! Seriously, a model company needs to release some kits for the vehicles in the film. I'd bet that the top three best sellers would be Max's Interceptor, the War Rig and the Gigahorse,.

I thought the movie was awesome. The color timing did not appear anywhere near as garish as it did in the trailer, the action was insane but still felt more grounded than typical modern day action sequences, and the music score really got my blood pumping.
In regard to the story it's obvious events happened that we are not aware of and Max had a daughter? Leaves the door open for another movie that would fill in the details.
One thing I wasn't clear on, did the intercepter actually survive the movie?

Crashed, rebuilt and then smashed to oblivion. :cry

But man, what a way to go. Uh, again.
Not that I'm fussy about continuity in MM, and not that I think Max would seek out a virtually identical car, just coincidentally, and actually find it, but one dude in one backwater police station declaring it the last of the V8 Interceptors is hardly gospel. And a mechanic in the Road Warrior saying it is even more bizarre. How the hell would they know. Perhaps that MODEL was the last? Or it was the last any of them had seen? The car was given mythic significance via dialogue, but I don't feel too fussy about it ACTUALLY being the last, like Max's car is Excalibur or something.

Okay I thought that was the interceptor pinned between the trucks and blown to smithereens but I wanted to make sure. That's the only flaw in the movie to me, all they had to do was give him a different car to maintain some level of continuity...or does Max just keep finding similar cars, modifying them, and then lose them again and again?

Last could simply mean last production model. Could be dozens of them that survived.
One could have said something similar during the seventies when the muscle car era ended about the last of the muscle cars.
Production of cars entirely probably ended in the MM universe and the interceptors were the last to go.

Exactly. That makes a LOT more sense than being the literal LAST last. Like, you might be driving the last of the four cylinder Saturns. It's not the literal LAST one on the planet, but from the last year they made them, last run of the line. Not that you'd have a lot of mechanics oohing and ahhing over that, but...

Except in Mad Max 2 the mechanic says "The last of the V8 interceptors, a piece of history...woulda been a shame to blow it up." Or something to the effect. So it's common knowledge far and wide that's the "last." Again, if you want to wrestle with MM continuity, which is probably a losing battle lol.
The line "last of the V8 interceptors" IS in both MM 1 and 2 right? I'm not mis-remembering?

The line is in both both movies. In fact, the mechanic who worked for Max's unit in the first film stated that he had to scrounge for the parts needed to put it together (I watched the original the night before I went and saw Fury Road).

That's right, the guy with the stutter? "A piece here, a piece there..." Something like that. Hmmmmmm. Okay, well I officially give up on making sense of the whole thing lol.

Here's Max's story in a nutshell - He lost his first child when Toecutter and his cronies killed him and Max went bonkers and took them all out.
Max wandered out into the wasteland after the world went to hell apparently forgetting his wife survived. He then had a daughter who was killed by some evil gang who were looking for gasoline and cigarettes. He killed the bad guys, saved the day, and went crazy.
Max wandered out into the wasteland again and was just minding his own business when the minions of Immortan Joe swarmed around him, wrecked the interceptor, and took Max prisoner, shaved him and gave him a haircut. He then escaped, killed Joe, saved the day, and rescued the hotties
Max wandered out into the wasteland again, found another car similar to his original interceptor, and was just minding his own business when the minions of the Ayatolla of Rock and Rolla swarmed around him and tried to take his ride. He then wound up at the refinery and teamed up with the gyro captain, saved the day, and rescued the little kid who grunted.
Max wandered out into the wasteland again, found another car and some camels, and then was swarmed upon by the pilot of an odd looking little airplane, the pilot looked a lot like the gyro captain except his teeth were much better. Max wound up in Bartertown, was exiled, and was saved by weird overly loud kids who gave him a haircut. Max battled the evil forces of Bartertown, saved the day, and then wandered out into the wasteland again...

GM has more or less stated that this film takes place after Thunderdome but still alluded that there was any solid continuity between the films. Also, the Gyro Captain has a sorta-cameo in Fury Road...

Except Miller stated that Fury Road took place after Beyond The Thunderdome. The tall-tale hero story being seen through the eyes of people who have encountered Max hypothesis make sense.
