Day 27: Fury Road

War Rig pics by Rob Somers

The war rig "Ethel" hauls another load of Car Wars supplements through the wasteland to The Compleat Strategist (ad in Autoduel Quarterly V1, N3, Steve Jackson Games, November 1983)

I thought that was a very nice understated demonstration of how far the world still has to fall in this post-apocalyptic universe - where metal fabrication is increasingly becoming a lost art and the materials themselves are degrading in quality as the easy stuff to find disppears or wears out.

I’ve been rewatching a bunch of scene from Fury Road and Furiosa, grabbed these cool screenshots. Live action fight to the death looking like a smear frame.

Love the mural of Immortan Joe on Furiosa’s new (old) rig. Demonstrates how important it was to him to build up the idea of his own myth. We’ll be seeing a lot of vehicles that appear to be in much better condition than they were in Fury Road, in part due to it being earlier in the timeline; however, this will also be done as a way to show how Joe’s polity faced stagnation after he no longer had any enemies from without who could reasonably challenge him.
