There's an argument that "Duel" paved the way for franchises like "Mad Max" since Steven Spielberg's "Duel" was released almost a decade before the first "Mad Max" movie The vibe is certainly there 

The "duel" centers on a road chase between a salesperson and a hinged truck driver Like "Furiosa," "Duel" offers an infinite number of desert-based chase scenes (the "Furiosa" chase is definitely a bit more dramatic and chaotic)

The 2013 film "Snowpiercer" takes the concept of a post-apocalyptic wasteland from the desert to the tundra If only the animals of the first Ice Age had a cold (or not cold) train In the film Bong Joon Ho (later the Oscar winner of "Parasites"), a survivor of the snowpocalypse lives on a luxury train traveling the world 

Like "Furiosa" and other "Mad Max" movies, the class and social hierarchy of survivors determine how distressing your apocalyptic experience is Chris Evans' character Curtis takes over the engine room by gathering other poor passengers as Furiosa confronts the tyranny of Dementus and others like him

"Furiosa" really plays on the concept of "show, don't tell", which is hammered into the heads of all creative writing 101 students The film is characterized by a long stretch of film and action sequences with light conversations and character interactions So if you enjoyed the artsier, location-centric component of the movie, "quiet location" makes sense for your next movie marathon

Like "Furiosa," John Krasinski's "Quiet Place" centers on a post・apocalyptic hellscape In this case, it is not in the action, but in the horror genre Not only are you telling an unusual story in a "quiet place", but also so much that a twig crunch can kill you As a result, the film is largely silent due to the creepy background music as the Abbott family tries to survive the monsters plaguing their home

"Furiosa" may be a 2024 movie, but if you're craving an iconic 80s action movie after finishing the sequel to "Mad Max," which lost the franchise's 80s vibe between motorcycles and classic action sequences, you might want to call it "The Terminator" The choice over its sequel (which many fans claim to be even better)

Although the movie has a little more sci-fi element than "Furiosa" Especially "Terminator 2" is characterized by a sequence of several similar motorcycles It's pretty clear that the "Mad Max" franchise was the driving force (intended for pun) of the "Terminator" franchise's inspiration "Terminator" diverges the typical status quo of the action genre, going back in time to stop Michael Byrne's character, Kyle Reese, from killing Arnold Schwarzenegger's self-titled cyborg character, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) Let's do it Without pressure
