Riotous New Japanese Trailer For Mad Max: Fury Road

Everything is always crazier in the foreign reels!

Pretty much every clip you've scene in every trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road comes from the same action sequence. Not because they're being coy, but because the whole film has been structured as one huge, extended chase scene. It's an ambitious format for the movie, and seems even more so when you learn that the script is quite light on dialogue. Max himself has just a handful of lines in the whole picture. But there's every indication that this epic chase is going to be quite the spectacle. In just the one minute's worth of footage in this new trailer from Japan there's more invention, lunacy and kineticism than you can take in properly in a single viewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YFuB3wuge0 Fury Road was most definitely a labour of love for director George Miller. It's been way over a decade since he first conceived of the film, and almost half that time since he started working on actually building the cars, designing the stunts and casting the film. And because most of what we'll see on screen was practical, with real vehicles having real crashes in a real desert, there was nothing easy about the production. If the previous Mad Max films are anything to go on, we'll have a whale of a time with this one; if we base our expectations just on Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, then we could be looking at a new action movie classic. Mad Max Fury Road is set for release in both the US and UK on May 15th.
