Once again, this week’s film quiz brings questions from Quiz Town, including teasers about Mad Max and other movies with cars and motors.
Across five movies, the most outlandish thing about the Mad Max saga’s post-apocalypse is that everyone still has cars and bikes and guzzoline to be getting on with. As George Miller’s long-awaited Fury Road prequel Furiosa roars into cinemas, (read James’ review here) we’ve got motors on our minds too, plus questions on a surprising variety of other sequels and screen addresses.
Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is all just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. You will arrive at your destination in 30 questions…
