    I don't think they ever mentioned the name in the movie.

    Also, I didn't have any problem with the dialogue in the movie. I could hear everything pretty clearly.

    It actually sounded good which is rare for my theater. When I saw Avengers is kind of sounded like I was underwater and there was no bass.

    Did people know beforehand that the thing was called the Doof Wagon or do they actually mention it in the movie

    Also why is it called the Doof Wagon

    We knew before. There was an early rundown and description of all of the vehicles.

    It's called the Doof Wagon because it makes noise. Y'know, doof doof doof doof. It's the thumping bass of the Warband.

    The part that made me the most tense and actual fired up my anxiety a little bit
    When Max is going to town on that mask. You could tell how bad he wanted that thing off his face and it made me feel claustrophobic a little

    I couldn't tell that the Warboys were chanting "V8 V8 V8 V8" until my third showing (which had more people than the first and second showings).

    Some of the chanting wasn't clear but that's expected. Chanting rarely is clear.

    Oh, not a complaint! Just something I noticed after multiple viewings. This is the only movie that I can remember where 15+ complete strangers left the movie theater and started talking about what they had just seen in the hallway.

    Very tempted to build my own Doof Warrior guitar.

    Speaking of the Doof Wagon, I love how
    the guitar music synched up with the blind guitarist, stopping and starting when he was fumbling due to Max fighting on the vehicle.

    He was actually playing the guitar

    That was a fully functional rig

    One thing I really appreciated in the film was that it didn't have the usual "Feature presentation" thing that typically precedes the film at Regal.

    It was just trailer, trailer, trailer, trailer, OPENING CREDITS

    Honestly, the only way they could make this movie any better is by having a post apocalypse Gypsy Danger show up and punch a cancer ridden Kaiju in its face.

    I really liked Fury Road. The trailer was awful but the reviews convinced me. Gonna recommend it to all my friends! Also I think I have a crush on Nicholas Hoult now since I loved him in Warm Bodies too. Like, he has a thing now for looking really good in ugly make-up.

    Really everyone was great in that movie.

    This has nothing to do with the movie itself

    That's a theater choice

    We had to go to three different movie theaters last night because the first two theaters were at 91% and 95% capacity. I was worried my friend wasn't going to like it as much as me after all the run around and my hyping it, but after the first WITNESS I could tell he was completely on board.

    Every time I go see this movie, the theater was packed to the point of discomfort.

    If and I mean IF I have any complaints about Fury Road they would be

    I didn't like the 3D explosion scene. I don't like when movies put an obviously made for 3D scene in a movie that otherwise doesn't have them.

    That shot is the only shot in the film that isn't anything less than spectacular.

    I felt like they were really trying for a PG-13 rating and it took away from a couple of scenes just a TINY bit. I wish they'd have just embraced the R. I look forward to an unrated blu ray.

    Really? I never felt like it was "trying" to get any particular rating. It was so obviously a creator's unfettered vision that everything that happened happened because he wanted it to. If it ended up not feeling like an R movie I'd say that's more down to the MPAA's rating system being byzantine and stupid than anything against the film itself.

    I don't know. There was a couple places where they cut away that made me think that it was intentionally to be a little less violent.

    I think that's more just George Miller's jam

    He has proudly spoken of how few frames of explicit violence actually exist in Mad Max

    He says it's only like, 50 frames

    Yeah, most R films I've seen have had a lot of cursing or a lot of blood, if not both.

    This was the first time I saw one that was R because of the neverending action and violence.

    The camera didn't linger on the violence because the characters didn't linger on the violence.

    Is that dude dead? Okay then that dude over there is not dead, we have to fix that no time to examine our handiwork.

    I just got back from Fury Road as well! It was fantastic, incredibly well paced and high octane. I didn't find much to take away from it, but I did sit there with a big grin on my face throughout, and left feeling perfectly satisfied. I'm not much of a cinephile but it felt really well shot and... complete, basically.

    Well then how do you explain the wanton carnage all over Babe 2: Pig in the City?

    I just saw Interstellar.

    It is now my belief that Fury Road is what was going on in Australia during the events of Interstellar's first act.

    pacific rim is a movie that hides all of its interesting stuff in the background or has it have already happened/happen off-screen

    well, except for charlie day and ron perlman

    Well not everything you saw was actually what you were hearing. It would have been a ridiculous pain to shoot and edit it so that it all lined up at all times.

    The biggest positive thing about Pacific Rim though is that it is still my only D-Box experience, and the jolt the seat gave when they did the rocket punch was awesome

    That's such a toss up for me

    I like the world of Pac Rim, it's just as soon as they climb into the robots and fight the monsters that it becomes snoozetown

    But meanwhile there are no memorable characters in it, and Furiosa makes a really strong case for Fury Road

    Like, regardless of what I thought about this, I would still totally go see a Furiosa film
