alot of this book you can find online through fan pages, but it was nice to read it all collected together.

Brilliant overview of one of the greatest film franchises in history. Filled with some great anecdotes from those who made the movies as well as the grueling task to make fury road a reality.

Pieced together from a range of pre-existing texts and sources, Nathan has given us a top "companion book" to this classic franchise from the original indie hit to the latest blockbuster, Furiosa.
Full of anecdotes and interpretations, it's still feels brief, a detailed overview of each film, with a few focused points here and there.
A long overdue book, I snapped it up in a local department store of all places, after delving through ebay (from watching Fury Road) in search of a book on all the films.
Max fans will lap it up. I only wish I could afford a matte black Falcon.

Entertaining overview of the Mad Max films. Basically a summary of a whole bunch of articles, books, and interviews. That said, I didn't read any of these articles, so it was a really good distilled overview. The author is an excellent writer, so this book is quite a bit better than the type of writing you usually find in books like this. Lots of fantastic photos too.

Not a patch on Kyle Buchanan’s detailed epic ‘Blood, Sweat and Chrome’, this is more a quick rumble through highlights (behind the scenes, and on screen) of the five films. Four and a half, really, there’s not enough Furiosa. There’s not enough EVERYTHING, really – especially ‘Mad Mad 2’ (if only Kyle would write 400 words on THAT film!). But considering this franchise is vastly underserved by books like this, I’ll take it. Awesome photos and little snippets, most of which I’d read, some of which I hadn’t. I received this book from Santa, Christmas 2024. What a day. What a lovely day…
