Did they reboot Bond every time a new actor played him?
It's been YEARS since Mad Max was given another movie though and the Bond movies kind of get away with that by having them designate the name 007/James Bond to a different agent.
I dunno though, maybe it's just me but I think just making it an outright reboot makes more sense. If he wanted a sequel then he should have just hired Mel Gibson again and do old man Max and get a dialect coach to reteach him how to use his Australian accent.
Awesome, I'm sick of reboots! Who gives a shit if the series is old. It's super easy to find old movies and catch up anyways.Quote:

I don't believe that at all. There have been many references in the movies throughout the years that they're all supposed to be the same guy, regardless of the actor. For example, there was a Roger Moore movie (For Your Eyes Only) where he's visiting the grave of his dead wife who was killed in the George Lazenby movie (On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Same guy, different actor, IMO.Quote:

I can't help but feel it is a reboot (there's nothing wrong with that). The bad guy wears a mask, there's another dude strapped to a vehicle's grill, he has a pale white dude at the top of his command and Mad Max is again driving a tanker across the desert. I see the trailer and it reminds me very much of The Road Warrior. Google search comes up with several different results, but most seem to point to this story happening between Mad Max and The Road Warrior, not after Thunderdome. There's even a quick shot of Mad Max's Interceptor engine revving up the supercharger, even though he had lost the car in Thunderdome.Quote:
