Have you ever wondered what Chinas answer to Oscar-winning action-adventure Mad Max: Fury Road would look like? You havent? Well fortunately, if youre someone who has started wondering since you read that question, youre in luck, because Hong Kong Cinema have just released a trailer for a film that could be just that... and its going to the first of a series...

In the video, its glaringly obvious that the movie – aptly named Mad Shelia – bares a striking resemblance to George Millers 2015 film, starring Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy, but then again, the studio certainly isnt hiding the fact that thats where it got its inspiration from. Its even got Mad Max rip-off trailer in its title on YouTube.

Now, visuals and themes such as post-apocalyptic, desert wastelands and high-speed car chases arent necessarily exclusive to Mad Max. However, they are two highly recognisable aspects synonymous with the Australian / American-made franchise which debuted in 1979.

Other similarities across the two films include the font used in the titles (right), the bombastic, over-bearing electronic rock soundtrack and costuming. Its quite difficult to tell what the exact plot of Mad Shelia will be – from the short clip – but if the explosions and violence are anything to go on, it will be pretty much mirroring the death race that Mad Max: Fury Road centred on.

The movie is not currently intending to be released in cinemas and will instead be available to watch online via Tencent Video streaming service, which is only usable for residents living in mainland China. Supposedly, it will be uploaded to the platform on Friday 25 November.

Interestingly, Mad Max: Fury Road was never officially released in mainland China. According to publications such as Forbes and ScreenDaily, while it was submitted to the countrys State Administration of Press, Publications, Radio, Film and Television, it was rejected and was never shown there.
