"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

In other news, sky is blue, water still wet, Hollywood makes trilogies out of successful one-off films.  ::)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Three Madd Maxx films? Wonder where they got that idea from.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Does anyone want to spoil where the connection is supposed to be between Fury Road and the original trilogy?

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

They cover the story in some of the semi-canon side comics.  It's a loose connection but it works aside from the recasting with a younger actor.

In the timeline between Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, Max had been rebuilding the Interceptor off the salvaged chassis, using his camel drawn vehicle to salvage the wastes for parts.   His vehicle is filled with materials needed to get the Interceptor working again, heading for its hiding place when Jed the pilot attacks him at the opening of Thunderdome.

Shortly after the events of Thunderdome Max, fleeing from Bartertown runs into Gas Town, and there manages to procure a rare Boss 351 V8 and get the Interceptor running again. 

After he gets the interceptor together it's stolen by the Buzzard gang he gets help from a bad ass survivor woman, and when she is lost Max reluctantly adopts her surviving daughter named Glory.

After that Glory is killed by the Buzzards, and Max renounces getting involed and helping anyone ever again.  He wanders off into the wastes again, adopting the "man with no name" moniker he got from Thunderdome.
"These men do not want a happy ship. They are deeply sick and try to compensate by making me feel miserable. Last week was my birthday. Nobody even said "happy birthday" to me. Someday this tape will be played and then they'll feel sorry."  - Sgt. Pinback

You forgot to add that when he was last seen in the wastelands he had encountered a band of Hoops.
