And it uses these images to construct action scenes edited with a dancer’s sense of rhythm. Fury Road keeps producing one astonishing image after another: sedan frames set atop tank treads, warriors on poles, bikers dropping bombs as they jump over moving cars, a mutant guitarist on a bungee cord providing a martial soundtrack of metal riffs with a flame-spitting guitar while riding atop a vehicle outfitted with a towering wall of amps and an expansive percussion section. Accompanying this din: images of brutal choreography that, in scene after scene, set the standard by which future action films are destined to be judged. It expands into a symphony of combustion, burning nitro, rolling tires, crunching metal, explosions, and the occasional whirring chainsaw. And the noise only occasionally lets up before the closing credits roll. The engines start revving before the first image appears in Mad Max: Fury Road.
