    I’ve been watching clips of Furiosa and for me the most amusing thing is all the brand-new knobby tires on all the vehicles. I’m sure they have to have that for safety during filming, but it’s the most glaringly unrealistic aspect of these movies. Even in developed regions today lots of people run their tires into the ground, and in poorer parts of the world they generally keep using tires until they explode. The latter is absolutely how things would be in a Mad Max world, even if they did have facilities for new tire production.

      The new tires are because the cars in both Furiosa and Fury Road are all real cars! Even immortant Joes Gigahorse and the War Rig!

      I like to try and find the roll cages while I watch the movies. And yeah I could see how that could break your immersion but for me, knowing that these are real cars doing largely practical things is really cool.
