“Mad Max: Fury Road” makes it challenging to tell what real-world cars you’re looking at, but there are some classics behind all that dust.
Scott Park is a visual artist who specializes in creating unique illustrations of classic movie and television cars, such as the “88 Miles Per Hour” poster he made last year, which featured 88 vehicles that appeared in the Back to the Future trilogy. For his latest project, Park had the inspired idea of rendering classic […]
Remember back when Mad Max: Fury Road came out? Oh boy, those were the days. It was May of 2015—David Bowie and Alan Rickman were both alive and well, Donald Trump had yet to begin his presidential campaign of terror, and all was right with the world. Most notably, the cinema-going public was treated to […]
It’s likely you’ve heard of the new Mad Max video game that came out yesterday. That is, unless you live under a rock.

The excellent Mario Kart/Mad Max mash-up video from May gave us a pretty good idea of what Mad Max: Fury Road would look like if it was even crazier (i.e., featured bananas and blue shells). Now, another fan film is showing us what the blockbuster action movie would have looked like if they literally used […]
Twitter user @Sativa_high took the concept of biodegradable vehicles to an unusual level on August 12th, when he tweeted photos of cars inspired by the action movie Mad Max:Fury Road, which he made with cucumbers and eggplants.

We didn’t think that anything could top that brilliant mash up of the hit carsploitation flick Mad Max: Fury Road and the classic racing game Mario Kart. And while that video is probably still our favorite, there are some other fan-made trailers that deserve some attention, as well. For example, it turns out that Fury Road […]
Director George Miller’s gas-guzzling masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road is probably the best action film of at least the last decade. Similarly, Mario Kart is probably the best college drinking game of, well, ever.

Here’s a surprise for the unacquainted: the best sequel of 2015 may not be Jurassic Park, Star Wars, or Furious 7. It might be the manic, car-chase-filled spectacle that is Mad Max: Fury Road. Before we can get to the fourth film in the franchise, which hits theaters next week, the fine people at CinemaSins […]
Think back on the trailers for some of your favorite action movies. They probably included an over-the-top attention-grabber, followed by some brief exposition via voiceover, some dialogue trying to become quotable catchphrases, and an arbitrary chase (either by foot or vehicle)–all culminating in a CGI-filled stunt sequence wrecking a car or two. Even the most explosive trailers […]
Remakes and reboots don’t always make for the most palatable films, so it’s easy to react immediately to the news that a cult favorite is being remade and losing its marquee star with a groan (which is almost invariably followed by a long tirade on your Facebook page). Such was widely the reaction to the […]

Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting that Honda is upping its Formula One budget for 2020 in its bid to catch Ferrari and Mercedes, but also to ensure Max Verstappen stays at the team.
