Something has always puzzled me about Mad Max style post apocalyptic dramas:

Why do so many people decide to wear gimp suits?

If there is some global armageddon I would not expect the surviving population to instinctively think that what they need is a rubber gimp mask.

It was Wez's arseless chaps that always made me wonder. Must've had buttocks like leather.

Especially when he escaped from the camp, and slid down that canvas awning!

Or why do all the normal townsfolk in every post apocalyptic film don brown rags and generally dress like medieval peasants? I'm sure there would still be plenty of jeans and bright t-shirts lying around

Or a Manchester United footy top , no matter where in the world you are !

I think in this case that it is a case of artistic license for the sake of telling the story. The film maker wants to show that society has devolved and that it is very obviously post-apocalyptic. If everyone was wearing slightly tatty normal clothes then it wouldn't really convey that.

Or, to put it more succinctly, "because it's a film"

Does nearly everybody being killed by zombies count as post-apocalyptic?

That's a good idea, we'd know which ones to cannibalise first

Careful with your judgment , if they'd just had a season like the last one they may taste a little bitter !

Early days there...they've not had time to stop running, sit down for a bit, and think, "hmmm, what I need now is a mowhawk, a gimp mask, and studded leather trousers".
They just need time.

Isn't this set before MM2, hence why Max is younger?

Mel was 30 when he did Max 3
Tom hardy was 34 when he shot this one.

The age of the actors, though, is not 100% important though. The 34 year old actor could be playing a younger Max, and Mel could have been playing an older Max - although it has been so long since I have seen any of the films that I cannot remember if they make reference to his age at all.

Anyway, was just a thought

I personally cannot wait to see it. That pick up with the huge quad bug catcher looks immense and, as an engineering and petrolhead, is on my to-build list!

I was pretty sure that it's a direct follow on from 4. Can't find anything definate either way though.

[Pesty]

Follow on from 4?

Do you mean three? Anyway it can't be because in he pics he has his v8 and that was destroyed in 2.
