so painful


Jesus effing christ. I'm watching this for the first time and I know what's going to happen--namely that Max's family's going to get murdered--so I've been waiting for it, hoping that it's quick...I've only got 20 mn left on this movie and they're still alive, though being chased and running. It's so painful, I can't think of another movie that dares drag it on that long. Now I'm sad.

Update: ok, it was quick, thank god. But seriously, wtf.
Aaaaand now I'm ready for my 20 (well-deserved) minutes of revenge.

All indications point to Jessica surviving. I think she's written off at the start of 2.

She was missing an arm in the bed I think also the doctor said she had multiple organ failure, she was probably dead by the time max got the v8 interceptor.

Just so you know, George Miller was a doctor before he started making movies, so I would think he knows what he's talking about.

reply

Maybe it's kind of like an inside joke?

reply

(the doctor describing the extent of her plethora of injuries, as if Jessie had slipped off a 10 story building)

people hit by motorcycles are often killed by it, now what's it like when you're run over by 3 or 4 bikers?

Add the fact that Jesse's built like a sparrow, 300kg's of bike/rider smashing into her at speed is going to mess her up but good.

...then whoa, differences...

reply

Getting hit by a car and a bike are different things though surely. A car is big and blunt whereas a bike is more likely to get right in there and crack bones etc.

Multiple organ failure doesn't mean all organs does it? If she had her bird-like rib cage caved in by something hard and unyielding on the front of the bike she's going to be in real trouble with a few of the more important ones. I can't see a problem with it.

...then whoa, differences...

reply

Maybe they also clubbed her with something, maybe ALL the bikes ran her over, one after the other, we'll never know since they cut away.

I was witness to an accident where a roadside assistant to a Police Officer was struck by a car, and was flipped over the hood and upended in the air like a rag doll. I could hear his body smack the pavement. And his injuries were nothing like Jessie's. Exaggerate much, Director Miller?


I would like to remind you of the death of Formula One driver Tom Pryce and 19-year old marshal Frederik Jansen van Vuuren in the 1977 South African GP. On a straight, driver Renzo Zorzi was forced to stop his car as it had developed a fuel leak and began to burn.

The situation caused two marshals from the pit wall on the opposite side of track to intervene. The first marshal to cross the track was a 25-year-old panel beater named William (Bill). The second was 19-year-old Frederik Jansen van Vuuren, who was carrying a 40-pound (18 kg) fire extinguisher. As the two men started to run across the track, four cars driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck, Pryce, Jacques Laffite and Gunnar Nilsson were exiting the final corner and coming onto the main straight.

Pryce was directly behind Stuck's car along the main straight, Stuck saw Van Vuuren and moved to the right to avoid both marshals, missing Bill by what Tremayne calls "millimetres". From his position Pryce could not see Van Vuuren and was unable to react as quickly as Stuck had done. He struck the teenage marshal at approximately 270 km/h (170 mph).

Van Vuuren was thrown into the air and landed in front of Zorzi and Bill. He died on impact, and his body was badly mutilated by Pryce's car. The fire extinguisher he had been carrying smashed into Pryce's head, before striking the Shadow's roll hoop. The force of the impact was such that the extinguisher was thrown up and over the adjacent grandstand. It came to ground in the car park to the rear of the stand, where it hit a parked car and jammed its door shut.

The impact with the fire extinguisher wrenched Pryce's helmet upward sharply. Death was almost certainly instantaneous. Pryce's Shadow DN8, now with its driver dead at the wheel, continued at speed down the main straight towards the first corner, called Crowthorne. The car left the track to the right, scraping the metal barriers, hitting an entrance for emergency vehicles, and veering back onto the track. It then hit Jacques Laffite's Ligier, sending both Pryce and Laffite head-on into the barriers. Van Vuuren's injuries were so extensive that, initially, his body was identified only after the race director had summoned all of the race marshals and he was not among them.

WARNING, THIS VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. IT SHOWS A PERSON BEING HIT BY A CAR AND TORN IN HALF. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO A HUMAN BODY BEING HIT BY A CAR IN THAT SPEED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Oh great. We have a guy on the IMDB boards who saw an accident once, so now he's going to take his experience and project it to the movie. Hey dude, maybe someone will read your post and grant you a medical doctor license.

Ha Ha Ha! Only on IMDB!

injuries were nothing like Jessie's. Exaggerate much, Director Miller?

lol Give me a break!
Do you have any idea how RANDOM! an accident can be.

"The auto accident scene was made as realistic as possible, thanks to director's George Miller's experience as a medical doctor"

I know this isn't the scene your talking about, but, this trivia quote highlights the fact as an emergency room doctor, Miller knew his sh!t.
Seriously, its just silly to think all accidents are the same...and really unintelligent, that comment didnt do your IQ any favours.

Regards

reply

And all that because a guy TOUCHED her riding a bike. SUUUUUURE... not lame at all.

All from being whacked by a motorcycle.
A motorcycle!? ???

Look: I'm quite sure that your inability to count is hardly George Miller's fault at all whatsoever in the least. So, ya know, shut the *beep* up, crash test-dummy hehehehehe

reply

That's the idea

reply

Quite possibly the most unintelligent vacuous post i have ever read in my life! You really should not have dropped out of school, had you completed at least a year of education your life would not be such a waste

reply

Problem with some movies now is that things start happening straight away, no sense of a build.

reply

That's a thing that sucks. Many people (including me) heard about the murder before they saw the movie. This makes the death less impactful. Even the trailer is an advertisement for the third act.

I am an *beep* but my friends compensate for that.

reply

Max's wife isn't killed. This is indicated later on.

reply

But it is also indicated that she will not survive.
The doctor says: ''She is salvageable'', as in: ''There are healthy parts of her that we can use.''

reply

To the OP, Crazynocrazy...

I know it's too late, but apparently you knew the entire story and wanted to see that one part of the movie. (Not even the best scene, in my opinion).

Why put yourself through the pain, as you call it?

Fast forward to what you want to see. Personally, I think it's less gratifying, because you don't get to understand how depraved the biker gang is. Anyway, to each their own, but there was a simple solution to your issue.

reply

I didn't mean that it was bad, I love that movie. I meant that it was surprisingly heart wrenching.

reply

I know! I actually really felt for Max, even though we're supposed to, and felt quite depressed after watching it. The revenge end scenes were brilliant and satisfying but the overly melodramatic music just dug the knife in and made you feel worse. Realistic helpless scenario just like the attack scene in the first Deathwish, scary! Made me paranoid!

Yes it was. He loved his wife, Goose, and baby.

I think it's massively overrated, it takes far to long for his family to get murdered... Mad Max 2 is brilliant though. P.s Death Proof is a million more times painful, dragging on for 3 hours.
