Mad Max rankings were supposed to do this last week. We're crickling, bitch
out, that's what he bitched out. All I gotta stay hard and he's
at the gym, just pumping in as usual. This is the ending of
the retro. So I had a topic here, but we've gone along.
We're supposed to be a new quick newscast. It wasn't. So we'll say
for another day to talk about the box office and Mad Max six is maybe
not happening anymore, which is probably not the result we wanted, but you
know, who knows. We'll see. But what we're gonna do and these
retros, as usual, we do a ranking and we'll cut the stuff for
you. That just listened to retros of our TopKing characters, our top five
scenes, and a ranking of the film. So, uh, mister Pats,
I'm gonna start with you give me your top ten characters, top ten
characters. I wasn't too sure if you guys broke up heroes and villains.
I definitely didn't because I'm like, I'm like, there's like two heroes that
I couldn't get just yeah, non including the villains. I couldn't get ten
for easily so I concluded villains I had ten exactly from uh from my list
here? Yeah nice? Yeah, uh, okay, I'm gonna write it
at the bottom. I'm putting, Oh, I can't remember which brother it
is, Scrotis, Scrotus is not. Who's the big guy? That's Rictus
Rectus, right, yeah, that's Rictus is the big guy, the new
guy from Furio, So the new guy. Yeah, I liked him like
specific well, I guess he's only in actually Slit Slit didn't like make my
list here, but yeah, no, I mean like he's only in that
move that one movie, which is why I maybe put his brother slightly above
him. But no, I I liked his inclusion in that role and just
being a kooky son of Morton Joe. So yeah yeah, and then above
him I have maybe you'll give me a pass here, I did the master
Blaster combo from Thunderdome. The two of them, there's two, yeah,
two one. I have one like that on my list, so yeah,
yeah, so I don't know they're they're fun for their role in that movie.
He's a simple mind after you spent thirty minutes kicking max ass around the
thunder Dome. But yeah, I love that pairing like you thank you,
and then above that I have the bullet farmer. Wow, say shut.
I think I think it's specifically that scene just makes it for me shot shot
closer. Yeah, scene like elevates that character so much more for me.
He's in furiosa, but like he's just such a nothing character if I take
away that scene. No, he's he's fantastic. I like the look too,
when he's got like the headdress thing, but it's just bullets. I'm
bumping my number ten for the bullet farmer. You've convinced me shot eyes,
I'm shotting it, sir. Just wait till the best scenes that sing out
there. Okay, I need a collect myself number eight Uh wait ten nine
eight, So yeah, now I'm on seven. Uh. This is where
I have scrotus sorry Rick Disrectus. Their names are just so similar, but
yes, so different. But no, I think he's got more than my
previous picks here. Definitely his brother and just that actor the rest. What's
his name? I always just call him. I always just call him Australian
prison yea, because that's his role from Troy. Just it's the first time
I've seen him in something. He's an accolade. No Joe remember talking about
him before? Need some Okay, yes, fuck yeah, either version,
the Troy version or the machine gun version. I want to get played der
Nathan. Yeah. I could see that. I could see that. Fuck
yeah, Okay, I'm excited now. Okay, jumping up from that,
I have knucks here Nicholas Holtz. Yeah, my my war boy. Oh
okay, not top five, that's my six y. Yeah, I think
yeah, like more than yeah, it's like close with my fifth. But
I just think he's more of a side character than my next pick here.
I think he's just I mean, he's so fantastic. He's so kooky and
crazy. In that scene when he just fails Morton, Joe is just I've
been thinking about that since we watched that movie in the in the retros,
just mediocre. It's funny because I didn't see the movie when it first came
out, and you're mentioning like the meme was just a thing like around that
time, and now I'm like reliving that because it's just more present in my
life. But okay, jumping up from that, I I have humongous here
from med Max two. I believe it is okay, yes, yeah,
the guy with the hockey mess. I think it's just like his look and
the the mystery of what's behind the mask. It's like a Jason Voorhees type
of fact, and he's fucking shredded. Like just my god, he looks
he looks humongous and uh just a funny name. So uh yeah, that's
my it's my number five pick. He's just I was really trying to pick
characters from like those earlier movies, but of course it's it's just tricky because
they're they're dated, and they just didn't really spend a lot of time.
Yeah, toe Cutters not on my list, It's not on mine. I
couldn't, no way. Yeah. Uh number four, I have dementis here.
Powerful Chris Hemsworth. I thought he was. I thought he's fantastic,
but not quite as good as my next pick, which is a Morton Joe.
Just very iconic look and like even before I had seen Fury Road,
just that image of what that character was was just like, man, that's
terrifying. Look of like his mask and especially when you see the whole suit
that he's got just a really creepy, great design, and I love that
at least for Ferio Road, the same chap came back. It was toe
Cutter right, yes, that he played in the past. Yeah, so
that that was that was good. Moving up the list, uh kind of
controversial. I guess Mad Max is not my number one pick I have.
I have Mad Max as my second pick. And I was like to myself,
I'm like, do you really have to differentiate from like Tom Hardy's one,
and like he's also kind of a mad like even Mel Gibson's ones.
He's kind of a different Mad Max in the different movies because like the first
one one in Origin anyway, yeah, same person. Yeah. So I
don't know, did you guys like specify or did you just say Max that's
easier than So Max is my second and Furiosa is number one, one hundred
percent to do with the movie of Furio. So, I just the way
that we're able to really do like her story, I think it's just a
better tale than what Mad Max's is. Mad Max's he has a last name,
doesn't It's like mac Rocktanski, Yeah, yeah, you got it.
But yeah, no, I just I think what was told in the Furiosa
film was a lot better than what was done in any of the movies,
including the first one for his origin there. So yeah, alright, so
my honorable mention number eleven that was bumped. I had Tina Turner because I
liked her kind of fun. But I had a hard time with the list.
So let's just be honest here. Up up until like seven, I
was scratched for people Bolt Farmer. I'll say umber ten just for the name
of it. Number nine is my cheat. I'm just saying as a collective
of the wives, I know that might be a cheat because there's like four
or five of them. I don't care, it's my list. I just
think they act as like, yeah, I think they just acted one.
If you had to make me pick one, i'd probably pick Riley Coe,
who like falls in love with next because I think that's the most you get
from my character. But I just think they were They're always moving together and
stuff, so if I had to pick one to be her, but I
would just say in general because they all get like the same amount of development
and the same type of screen time. They're all kind of they're literally linked
together at some point. So that's just what I did because I don't know.
I thought i'll put him on there, don't remember his name. Number
eight I put the plane guy I didn't get. Yeah which movie though,
because he's pretty similar character sure too for sure. Yeah, I liked the
pathetic sidekicking. I like that at least the first half of the movie.
Just kept thinking he finally got away from Max and somehow, one way or
another, Max keeps showing him up. They're showing up and makes him do
something. So uh, there you go, Kirkle, and you had the
name I got number seven. What the fuck is the muscle guy again from
Road Warrior two? Uh? Humongous? Yeah, humongous for sure, very
cheesy, over the top, but I love especially the way he's like when
he gets up ever, the I don't have to hurt you like he's saying
like it times feels like he's trying to be like a calm presents, but
his look doesn't portray that at all. His look is something else. So
uh, and then I should have did this too. I'll give him some
respect. But at number six I had Matt, Max's friend there because I
did like him in the cop Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to find out
problem the problems. I had this list on my work computer, and then
I didn't send it to myself, so that's why I'm a little behind the
eight ball here. It was let's see Jim Jim Rains aka Goose. Uh
So, yeah, no, I liked him. I liked that he was
kind of the more aggressive one in the first one, and then obviously he
has a bad fate there. But I like the character. I like how
serious he took his job because that was when there was some corruption going on
and he was just trying to fight for the people. So but the bottom
half was a hard thing to do. Number five I got more than Joe.
Looks great, sounds great, great aura. So you know, we
talked about him for ages. Just a very fun just kind of look the
number four I put nuts. I like the journey he goes on. This
is a pathetic war boy to making the sacrificial play for the wives, helping
out, driving for furios, and just some really good comedic timing on Nicholas
Holt's part. You know, Kurkl fight might be controversial. I got Mad
Max number three here. Yeah, I think it's just like you said,
where Max is a guy for the character or the character of Max as a
guide for the world but other than the first one, which is the first
one, I don't enjoy that much. Like as far as the character perspective,
it's just it's never really a big journey. The journey is always Max
meets somebody reluctant to help and then he chooses to help, you know,
like that's that's the story of Max. And I don't get me wrong,
I don't think that's a bad I think Max is a great kind of tool,
like a great way to get you through these movies as like anthology,
but as an actual character. If you ask me who I want to follow,
I would rather follow my two and one, which at two I got
Dementus and then one I got Furios. Just because I still like the Fury
Road movie better, That's still the one I would go to. But if
the stories and the characters I'm inclined to watch or have a journey from Hempsworth
Is definitely gets a little bumped, just because the performance where a more than
Joe. There's acpects of them that I do like more, but that you
can't perform much between like the guys doing what he can with his upper eyes
right where that first act is all just Chris Hempsworth, like just going one
hundred percent the whole time and then but still being calm when he needs to
be. And then number one, I got furio So just even in number
I don't know if she would have been over Max if we had just got
fury Ro, but with Furiosa that definitely puts her over the top there.
So yeah, and just just a great character. And it's just something that
like Max doesn't have, right, Like I guess Max does have that origin
movie in the first one, but I think we just talked about there so
much of that movie. He is so quiet to himself. You just like
it's funny because Firiosa is quiet and she only has three lines of the movie.
But there's something about the way Furiosa's story has done Furiosa versus the way
Max has done Mad Max. It just feels more complete and you feel like
you learn more about her and you're just more invested. So I don't know,
because Max, yeah, he has an origin, he has family,
his friends, they all go to shit. He gets revenge, but there's
just something about the execution of it. So I would throw the tail for
his list, but he just left right when he knew it was gonna be
his time. Yeah, he's just gone here, you know, So I
don't really know what to talk about. I'm gonna give it. I'm really
tripping up on my top two movies right now for my really okay. My
list of movies was like, yeah, easy. The one not hard for
me was the scene one because there's just lots of great scenes. So I
tried to sprinkle it. But I tried to spread it out amongst movies as
like as much as I could. But there's certain movies that are not on
my list at all. Yeah, Taylor, you're ready to spread it?
Oh yeah, stay hard, Yeah, stay hard. Okay, just chewing
that mic a little more. My god like that face face bug yeah,
face fucker hugger. So my character's here. Number ten, I got the
Rictus Erectus, okay, up there. Number nine, I got the Gyro
Captain. Sweet spot for the Gyro Captain, uh and Bray Preatory and Jack.
I thought he's pretty cool, cool character, okay, yeah, the
one that was supposed to be young. Yeah yeah, above him. Uh
you should be on the review because I feel like us we weren't the biggest
fan of him. So I'm glad you were really so yeah. Number seven,
the coma Do Fourier. I fucking love that guy. He's so he's
just you know, the guy playing the guitar with the fucking fire. Shoot.
He's so cool. I just something I've never seen before, and he's
always just such a joy to see on school and Shred and that's fair.
Yeah, I give you that one. Number six. I couldn't figure out
what his name was, but he's from Puriosa. He was Dementus is kind
of like second in command. Then you learn that he kind of that was
Smeg. Yeah, the guy that rides off with the well spoil. He's
got the black horns on his helmet. Okay, No, s Meg is
the interpreter. Yeah, okay, I don't know who that is. So
yeah, yeah, I couldn't find out his name, but he you find
out that like the guys are kind of like loyal to him and not to
Dementus, and then you learn he breaks off and then he forms his own
kind of group. I just thought he was really really cool and I like
that help kind of breaking off from Dementus's kind of regime that he had going
on. It was just a cool, cool character as well. Yeah,
Slit, that was his name. Slits. After that number five, I
got Lord Mungus, really cool villain. After that number four, I got
the number four. How many do I have? One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven Octo. I put eleven his name Octoboss. Yeah, he's cool.
I love that. I put eleven in here so I don't have to cut
one of these guys. Fuck predatory and Jack is cut. He's kindle mention
number like seven, Yeah, he's got. We just said, oh,
finally of love and he's out. He's out. He's just out. So
my real number uh on to three, four or five. My real number
five is knocks. My real number four is a Morton Joe, number three,
mad Max, number two Dementus, I fucking love Dementis. Number one
is Furio so fucking fantastic. Wow. If you switch Nucks into More and
Joe, we'd have the exact same top five. We're pretty close there because
I pulled, oh top five. Yeah, no, Preatory and Jack,
No, I didn't have And I'm gonna bump to me either. I brough
him in. If he's in, he's in. But no, I bumped
Tina Turner, so it happens, but yeah, no, it's fun that
none of us really have Max at number one, so that kind of tells
you what you need to know. Max. So Bestie, I'll I'll go
first here, even though I'm sure you guys might shout when I'm like,
go, oh good. But so my number five is because I try to
spread out, but I do have two from Fury Roads. So my number
five is just the finale, like the final chase scene where like everything's going
ham and you remember me and more and Joe's barars and his face gets ripped
off and stuff, and so just the final of Nutt sacrifice, Charlie's stab
there. It's a big final seat, but just something in there that would
be the one. Number four get the Row War finale when finally Max decides,
Okay, I'm gonna help you out, and you got the copter guy
helping out and Humongous is getting taken down. So I think that's a good
setup. You got feral child doing just up to no good doing some stuff.
And again we talk about like inyand Jones and just about the the amount
of stunts went into that and stuff where it's like, oh, they almost
died here, but luckily they didn't. It's like, oh cool us,
congratulations, Yeah, exactly that scene number three, I have a saw spot.
I'm not sure if you guys will, but because I know it's lower
on some people's list, But the Thunderno Man Max on those fucking rubber cables
running around fighting ground, the weapons, I wish in Furiosa or Man Max.
I wish that could make a reappearance, even if there's like a Thunderno
movie. I don't know. Like I loved that fight a lot, and
I thought the choreography was great. I love that it went on for a
while. Was just a quick one two punch and done. Really enjoyed that.
Number two, I got the Furiosa rig scene where she meets like Victorian
Jack and you know, the poor little war boys hide and stuff that it's
just like editing music, sound design. It's just a top tier scene.
And then number one, I have kind of the beginning of the Chase and
fear Road, but I specifically am going the storm where it is the lovely
day and you get the chrome and you just got Tom Hardy's stuck in the
back. Yeah, And just like we talked about, like when the lightning
strikes and the screen goes like black and white at times, like there's so
much visual cool stuff going on Fury Road. Literally, I could just say
all I want to sprow because if you were to ask me other than the
Furial is a rig, I probably could make all five scenes just Fury Road.
But no, I think that that scene for me is the one that
stands out the most is the storm because it's and it's just cool a visual
that coming in and everything. So yeah, it's my top five scenes,
my top five scenes here. So Thunderdome it's number five. I thought that
whole battle was oh no, no, no, sorry, I got that
was different, different less, different lists. Okay, save that for later.
Bullet Farmer. Bullet Farmer going through in mad maxim and he's got the
guns and yeah, the light and everything. Fuck, that's that's great.
Uh. After that is the Thunderdome fight because that was really really cool everything
you said, Travis spot On. Next is the I can't remember his name
against sorry Kirkland, the octopus Octo gar octo guy. He's basically leaves the
charge on on the war rig and basically like it starts off with them on
the ground and then it goes up to like there they get air superiority all
of a sudden and they're flying. It's like, that's super cool, and
I was not expecting that it was really really cool. I'd closed the page.
It's got a more iconic look than a name, I think, yeah
for sure. Uh Max basically on the front of Knux's car and Knucks is
just like, yeah, same thing you said there, Travis, that same
scene. That's great. That's my number two. And then my number one
is when Dementius arrives at the Citadel and just war breaks out and like the
hooks come down and they're hooking up the vehicles. Then like spin around and
it's just pure chaos. It's fucking awesome. I just commit suicide. Yeah,
will do that if I ask you. Oh my god, Like it's
the first time Dementis is really an over his head. I love the city.
That was a horrible mention for me. I thought about it so that
that's a good one, all right. Uh. While you guys were going,
I was just looking at my six scenes I had. I know,
I gotta chop one off at the head. I think I'm gonna ask one
of my Fury Road scenes just because I have quite a few of them,
so I'll do. Fuck, I'm not take a Bullet Farmer off. I
think he's gonna be in my top five just because it's it lives on.
No, I'm gonna have to take it, honorable mention. The bullet Farmer
can't see ship. That's so good. Good. I'm glad to be at
Taylor's. I feel a little bit better cutting in here. Okay, number
five, I have the Thunderdome fight scene as well. Yeah, the three
of us had it. It's just so great. I feel like it's just
pretty similar to like the Spider Man scene with but one saw that, Like
there's just something about our hero being trapped in a cage with a crazy person
and just some weapons at hand. So uh, and yeah, you guys
already talked about the fight choreography and just how long it was going is really
great. After that, I have the final chase scene in Mad Max two,
same one you mentioned Travis. After that, I have I guess it's
just like the first chase scene from Fury Road, Like when you have the
what are you giggling about there? S? That's so fucking funny. It's
so good. That's ood My next scene. Yeah, I think it's like
the first chasing in Fury Road when like it starts off with Buddy forget his
name, theater shouw him out, but the guy with the guitar and he
just got fire coming off and it's just like the first Home. Yeah,
the same like the first time you see like the the war Boys, like
on those like Teeter Totter type things that are just like and like, yeah,
it's it's just so much chaos and just so much master craft on like
the making of that is just it's, yeah, tip my hat to them.
It's just so outstanding. So after that, I have the where am
I right now? That was my third now my number two? Okay,
so after that I have the same Fury Road scene you shodowed out Travis with
the just the storm and that's where yeah, Knox Is witnessed me Bloodbag just
visually so beautiful and it's just crazy that like like this extreme what just laughing
witness blood Bag. I'm just saying, he's just so fired off that look
of Max's face and he's just gonna die for nothing. Literally not so great
and uh just how like the chaos of the chase doesn't really cease just because
there's this giant storm, like it just makes it that much more chaotic.
And yeah, really great scene. And my number one scene is actually the
Furios to Convoy fight. Yeah. I really just went hard on the review
detailing that scene as much as I can, and just the effect of like
the audio that it had, which is like the the lack thereof actually of
like a really intense score. I think it actually lifted that scene so much
more for me and really nice and extended. And I mean I mentioned multiple
scenes in here that are quite extended just because they're long chases. But it's
a great reoccurring thing that these mad Max movies have, and I'm glad the
newer ones didn't only not only did they like straight or not straight away from
what those originals ones did, but they just elevated it in such a grandiose
matter. So yeah, yeah, I forgot like a good shout out here
that scene when Dementus is trying to stage the war rig, but he like
he captured the war rig and he has his goons that are like hiding out
and they're trying to sneak into gas Town. And when he just comes up
with the idea like, you know what, let's it. They know it's
not they're not buying it. Let's make it real. Yeah, they start
shooting their own men. That was a really cool scene too, so good.
Yeah, octobosses guy. That's where he was pissed off, right,
and he's like, you'll pay for this Dementis And they never do because Dementi's
plan worked. So it's like, well, I lost some guys, but
you know it worked out. Soda. I'll let you go first because I
think we might know the your your last movie, so Filson on the rest
from Yeah, Thunderdome is my number five. Number four is the original Mad
Max movie. Number three is Mad Max two. Uh. Number two is
the newer mad Max film. Uh. And then No. Number one is
viiosa Okay. Number two is just like that, the newer Mad Max like
Fury Ro Fury Road. I meant to say, yeah, they have subtitles
you can just you know. Number one is furiosa well earned, well deserved.
Wow. I'll go next, Taylor. We have the exact same list
Mad Max original Mad Max two, which I think is like significantly better than
all the other old ones. In my opinion Fury Road. This one was
really hard though, Like you know, I was mentioning Travis, I was
having difficulties skewing these two. I think it's just recent, like because it's
more recent that I've seen, uh Furiosa as opposed to furiy Road. I'm
very curious how I feel on the next Fey Road mentioned because I was just
talking about like certain scenes from it. It's just like, fuck that that
is just such a great movie. Because I'm not picking that many scenes from
Furiosa, right, but it's still just a great movie. I think it's
just the way it's structured, in my opinion, is just a better telling
of a story with the chapters and everything. I just like how that was
done. So I gave it a slight skew there. But both of them
are just really fantastic movies. And yeah, no, very very impressed.
Well funny us, Travis, I have a different list. I got Mad
Max number one at the bottom. I think I said, I appreciate some
stuff, but it's not a not a great watch. Then I got Thunderdome
and then Road Warrior at four and five. Very tough actually, because I
think Road Warrior two is a better movie, but I think I had more
fun revisiting Thunderdome. I think if the back half of Thunderdome was like a
little bit better, I think I could easily bump it over Road War two
because I don't love Road Warrior two as well, so or just Road Warrior,
not road War two. They didn't make that one yet, so yeah,
I would go mad Max Underdome road Warrior. And then did I say
six movies are just five? Right? You mentioned you said Thunderdome and number
two, four and five, so I was a little bit confused that.
Okay, sorry, five and four, five and four, so I'm clarifying.
And then four and three, yeah, four and three because the original
is five. That's good, that's true. Yeah. And then right now
I got Furio Set two and then furiy Road at one. I don't think
it will ever swap for me because I still think there's aspects of Furio so
where I think is masterful filmmaking. But I still every time I watch fear
Road, I still go, oh, this is one of the when I
make the list of like greatest movies ever made because I got favorites. But
like you know, but Dazzle's not going to be on that list. But
like when I talk about like this, you're like Dune Part two. That's
one was like, this is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen.
That's how I still fear feel about Fury Road. I think even some of
the CG and set designs like a little crisper, so that helps that it'll
go to as far as just like age Wise, But they're both fantastic movies.
And I wouldn't say, oh, I couldn't believe if you'd put Feriros
over a fear Road. But for me, that's just like a it's such
just like a piece of work. And I feel like it's like a harder
movie too, because the first or Furios is much more like a like a
usual No, I won't say paint by numbers, but it's structured like a
movie. Right, you meet your character, your ax and everything, where
a Furior Road pulling off this one big chase is very daunting, but yeah,
good stuff, and you know, hopefully things are wrong and we do
get a mad Max Wasteland. I didn't like the idea that I guess because
it's come out that it might not happen. The pitch was it was gonna
be a prequel to Fear Road. Don't like that, I don't. I
just don't know why you just don't move forward with Max and company. But
yeah, who knows, Maybe not happen, but that's it. We've done
the retro. This is probably you know, as we said whatever older retros,
so in a different one. But it's a good time to do because
yeah, maybe we won't get another Mad Max film and we can enjoy it
here. So if you haven't checked them out, we reviewed FURIOSA reviewed every
single one. They're all in the feeds. Check out the review feed they
as would have them all and yeah, this was fun. Went a little
longer than expected, but we had some a couple of trailers, some fun,
some fun Triple X action. So yeah, we'll be back next week
and I promise you it'll not be boring.
