Exactly. If you look at the evolution of the Fury Road car it's directly between Mad Max and Road Warrior. And theres alot less damage and even the interior is not as trashed as it was in Road Warrior. I'm almost positive Fury Road will have a dual mainstory of when Max fully transitions into a nomad/scavenger and the whole oil crisis that happens which will be relevant to the times and I'm sure a lil political statement too. Take the last few minutes of Mad Max and the beginning narrative of Road Warrior. Mentally fill in the gaps and there's Fury Road. Because of Miller and the scrutiny that this film will be under and the fact the Interceptor has to be in the top 5 iconic movie cars of all time it will by image and condition alone dictate where Fury Road will fit in. Charlise said its not a prequel or sequel. Its a midquel lol. I know I made the word up. I cant wait to see it. I think it will be pretty good.

Agreed, at the very least George has chosen the MM1.5 look to establish the reboot, awesome.
Your opinion MFP 2020, do those boots Hardy`s wearing look like Rossi`s to you? Thinking strictly as a collector here, judging from the boots and pants, Hardy may be wearing a replica of Mel`s original costume, minus the badges I would guess.

I'm getting excited about this now. Been ages since we've had some cool movie cars to drool at!

That was my second thought after seeing the jacket Noeland:lol
Looks like the old USMC WW2 knives with a slightly bent grip....its a start.
Are those magazines under the knive? What is his backpack? Why one glove? Is that a left over shoulder plate on his right side? Whats the gadget on his right hip? Lovin it.
Oh, Hardy looks the part. This is one trailer I wont be avoiding.

A qualified yes. They have the front "V" cutout like the original Rossiter's, and it looks like the left boot is missing the top strap, maintaining continuity with MM1. Not sure what's going on with the knee. It's not the MM2 kneepad, but there's something there.
The right sleeve looks to me like it's cut off and he's wearing a long-sleeve undershirt (sweater?). The scarf looks like a callback to MMBTD. I like the look.
I agree, based on everything I've read and seen so far, Fury Road is looking like it's going to be totally bad ass.

No Mel = No Mad Max.
Someone wrote Mel being too old - you can't have history without age. In my opinion Mel could have given us one last ride as Max. I read a script back in 98 called Mad Max: End of the Road or Road's End - can't remember. The part i remember most was that the MFP returns but are much more Military - this is when the rumor Kurt Russell was going to be Mel's advisary.

Dont think it was an age issue that saw Mel cut ties/have ties cut from future tellings, more of an ongoing noncommittal posture from the studio. I see it like this now, Mel is Max and Ford is Solo and Deckard and Jones, Weller is RoboCop and Banzai and Nimoy is Spock, all these greats have or will have contenders or pretenders. Its the business`s job to twist our perceptions, when its done right it works. Try not to fresh air it to early JB, Hardy`s got contender on his passport.:cool
