Later, he joked that he would buy the remake rights to Eastwood's films and do them again with Jackman. I've never known how true the story was, but you reminded me of it just now.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387576523369148744.post-33961137566902046212010-07-07T15:50:07.983+01:002010-07-07T15:50:07.983+01:00Tom Hardy on Max:

You know what it looks like? That’s what I’m going to look like. But like a puma. Very hungry and very dangerous. It’s imperative.<br /><br />BUT LIKE A PUMA!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387576523369148744.post-85047632646856737122010-07-07T15:11:55.242+01:002010-07-07T15:11:55.242+01:00I also liked the fact that the breakdown of civili...I also liked the fact that the breakdown of civilisation wasn't war or the fact that politicians were screwing with everyone - it was because society broke down because people simply stopped caring. It was *our* fault it all went wrong.<br /><br />Mad Max 2 took that further and said 'you think this is bad, see what happens when the oil runs out!' That's a great film, maybe even better then the first.<br /><br />Then they made Beyond Thunderdome and, well... yeah. They fell back on the 'there was a nuclear war' post-apoc standard. Thanks for that.Farsight Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992068691142951379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387576523369148744.post-57849373046683751082010-07-07T14:45:26.279+01:002010-07-07T14:45:26.279+01:00One of the joys of Mad Max was the lonely shoddyne...One of the joys of Mad Max was the lonely shoddyness of it. Everywhere was open and desolate and the sets were a bit shoddy. In parts, it felt a bit like Vanishing Point (1970 Challenger 440 RT, white) and was all the more cool for it. Also, I liked that bikers were senseless evil. No reasoned backstory, they were just BAD. B.A.D. bad.Rob Langhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377928640392467606noreply@blogger.com
