    and the "virgins" was totally pointless...should have been called just"Fury road"....
    You mustn't have been paying much attention if they were "virgins" (is one of them Mary carrying Jesus?) and their inclusion in the film was pointless.

    Can see so much nostalgia bias in the negative comments here. I implore you to revisit the earlier movies with untinted glasses, they're hardly better than this one. Everything on the thematic, visual and character level are so much more rudimentary.

    Well there is your problem, going to the cinema 2/3 times a week, watching Hollywood PG-13 crap pretending to be balls to the wall action movies.
    For real Balls to the wall action, check out The Raid: Redemption, once the action starts it don't stop.

    Excuse me don't presume anything, The Raid movies are great action films (both of which I saw the cinema) and Fury Road deserves its place up with them.

    I've been a fan of Heroic bloodshed genre in Hong Kong, South Korean action cinema, the action cinema of the 80's in America. Kung Fu Cinema of the late 60's, 70's and 80's. Up to the modern day. So don't throw the Pg 13 rubbish at me, I know my action cinema.

    Yep outsold the whole top 10 in it's first week on sale. That's pretty impressive also it's the most pirated film of the year so far, if there is a honour in that,

    I wonder if it would have done all this money had they released the PG13 cut, probably not.

    yeah says it all. I see like me you have done the research on the culture definitions of a country of 300+ million people which correlate to both Television programs and DVD sales. Good to know theres more of us out there, but the best thing, we don't have to post up our research and back up our points and what we say, we can just say it and thats that, bang, fact, eat it down you left wing liberal pansies.

    "Get Tom Hardy to star, he's popular at the moment.
    Car chases always go down well, put a few of them in there.
    Get a few good looking girls with very little clothes on, put them in the movie.
    Mix in a bit of violence.
    This will do gang busters with the teenage male virgins."
    This is the exact pitch made to the hollywood executives, and they where not wrong.

    That would be such a good point if we were discussing a Hollywood studio movie.

    But we're not, so it's drivel.

    Wrong!
    RatPac-Dune Entertainment one of the producers are american.
    Village Roadshow Pictures another producer is a leading Australian co-producer and co-financier of major Hollywood motion pictures.
    Its a hollywood movie. End of story.
    They knew their audience, made a movie to impress them and got the result they wanted.

    One out three of the production companies being American makes it a Hollywood movie?

    Nonsense.

    No, because that's not a market.

    It was if anything aimed at people who enjoy old fashioned practical action scenes.

    This is a curious obsession of yours.

    I enjoyed the film enormously & contrary to assumptions have had sex before the existence of this picture & even since then.

    Fixating on the virginal status of boys us frankly creepy.

    I assume you are on a watchlist some where?

    Circling the wagons?
    Those who rant and rave its the best movie ever all seem to come from that demography, would you not agree?
    So is it wrong to point it out the movie was made to appeal directly to them?

    I don't know.

    The only virgin boy I know is still in nappies & is playing on the floor in front of me.

    And he hasn't seen Fury Road.

    Alright, that’s enough. fartingforfun, you’ve made your point. Generalised attacks aimed at people who disagree with you are against the charter of this forum, which I would encourage you to read. Any questions about this, pm me, don’t reply in thread.

    Anyone who wishes to continue this debate with fartingforfun can do so via pm, thanks.
