Movies to watch before ‘Furiosa’

Long before we could see the digital effects of FuriousGeorge Miller debuted with a milestone in Australian cinema, consecrating Mel Gibson like a real movie star. In history, Gibson brings to life for the first time Max Rockatansky, a police officer in charge of guarding a highway who will have to deal with criminals who are wreaking horror on the asphalt. In the middle of a post-nuclear future, this former police officer ends the life of the leader of a violent groupwhich ends up swearing revenge against him.

‘Mad Max 2. The Road Warrior’ (1981)
For many it is the best of the saga. Miller, who is present as a director in the entire franchise, returned behind the cameras after raising 100 million dollars worldwide, starting from an initial budget of $350,000. Here the script was written by the director himself, Terry Hayes and Brian Hannant.
The sequel focused on gasoline as a rare and coveted good, but in this world tormented by nuclear holocaust there are still a few heroes like Max. The skilled driver begins an all-out fight to help to a colony of survivors which is constantly attacked by a group of violent warriors. Faced with the unequal conflict, Max will try to put land in between defending the fuel tank of the small town. We can say without a doubt that it is one of the best sequels that modern cinema has seen, improving in everything on the original proposal.

‘Mad Max 3’ (1985)
Under the subtitle of Beyond Thunderdome, the third installment of the saga was highly criticized at the time for having lost a certain part of its essence and, ultimately, being a much more commercial product. In this case, the cast included one of the most important figures in music, Tina Turner. The singer played the villain and composed the main theme of the film.
In the last adventure that would have Gibson as the protagonist, Rockatansky arrives in the desolate city of Barbetownwhere, after surviving a cruel fight, he is sent to the desert, helping a group of abandoned children who plan to rebel against the evil queen of the city. Nowadays, that fierce criticism of this installment has been somewhat toned down, but at the time it caught the public by surprise.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015)
Max’s loss of prominence regarding the role of Furiosa It was highly discussed. at the time, but let’s be honest, he gave us one of the best characters that have been created on recent celluloid. In the same way, it incorporated the novelty of having Tom Hardy among their ranks interpreting the version more antiheroic and crazed of the character. Hardy did not get along at all with Theron, although that is something that is not noticeable at all in the film. Winner of six Academy Awards, interest that Theron’s character aroused have led to Furious be the first film in the Mad Max universe that is not starring the male role. It is actually considered the best film of the intellectual property managed by Warner Bros. Discovery.
Where can it be seen? With subscription on Max, Prime Video and Netflix.
