Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic Science Fiction film and the fourth film in the Mad Max film series; it was released after spending some thirty years in Development Hell, and its (standalone) story takes place sometime after that of the original Mad Max. Series creator George Miller returned to the driver's seat of his creation, serving as producer, director and writer once more. Junkie XL did the soundtrack.Tom Hardy takes over the role of Max Rockatansky, a drifter doing his best to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, running from his personal demons. When he is captured by men who serve the tyrannical warlord Immortan Joe, the dictator keeps him alive as a "blood bag" for his fledgling "War Boys". Sometime after Max's capture, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) — one of Joe's trusted road warriors — betrays her master by freeing his five captive Wives and going on the run with the big tanker truck of Joe's citadel. Max ends up caught in the chase as he and Furiosa work together to escape from Joe, his convoy of War Boys, and other forces that would see them all dead (or worse).The film's production was delayed by higher-than-normal amounts of rainfall around Broken Hill that made the area too green; filming eventually moved to, and was finished in Namibia. Miller and Fury Road co-writer Brendan McCarthy have already written sequels to this film; the first is titled Mad Max: The Wasteland. However, Miller has since refocused on a Spin-Off prequel centered on the earlier years of Furiosa, set to star Anya Taylor-Joy as the character. The film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, is due for release on May 24, 2024.Fury Road has a four-issue prequel miniseries published by Vertigo Comics and written by George Miller, Nico Lathouris and Mark Sexton, with stories spotlighting Joe, Nux, Furiosa, and Max. The graphic novel collection of the miniseries includes a story about the War Rig.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet.

Helpful Hallucination: Max has a recurring hallucination of a young girl. At one point she appears in front of him and he instinctively covers his face, and this winds up saving his life by giving Max an Impaled Palm instead of an impaled head. She also appears at a critical point in the movie and gives Max the idea to take the unguarded Citadel.

One Bullet Left: Max has a scoped SKS rifle with only three rounds, and aims into the night toward the oncoming searchlight of the Bullet Farmer's vehicle (who, as his name indicates, has plenty of ammo). He uses two shots to no effect, so hands the rifle to Furiosa, who braces the rifle on Max's shoulder and fires a shot that shatters the searchlight, blinding the Bullet Farmer.

Bloodless Carnage: Despite the film's bodycount and numerous ways characters are wounded or killed (including one mook getting stabbed in the face and throat with crossbow bolts, another getting stabbed in the eyes with bullets, a cesarean section, a human shield being used to block a chainsaw and an old lady getting a chainsaw wound to her neck), barely any blood is visible until a brief shot near the end, except as blood smears on wounded characters.

 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: The very first trailer uses many of the big action scenes, including the one where Nux overturns the War Rig to block the pass, essentially the final shot of the climax. This actually ends up working, since in this particular case the audience watching the trailer had no reason to assume Nux, the character who appears in it is anything other than a mook having a suitably spectacular death.

Negated Moment of Awesome: Nux, who idolizes Immortan Joe, not only receives a gun and direct orders from him, but the promise that if Nux manages to kill Furiosa then Joe will personally carry him through the gates of Valhalla. This is obviously the high point of Nux's life, which makes him almost immediately falling off the rig and losing the gun humiliating for him, hilarious to the audience.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Immortan Joe is a terrorist leader who has a harem, Brainwashed and Crazy suicidal soldiers who believe they'll be gloriously rewarded in the afterlife, and lives smack dab in the middle of a desert. They were inspired by the Vikings, but other parallels are easy to draw. Other reviewers noted: Their bastardized appropriation of concepts from Norse Mythology also calls to mind modern neo-nazi groups.

 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_173909

Immortan Joe. He's weak of breath, needs help walking, and has attendants caring for scars or boils on his back. He disguises this to his followers by donning muscular-looking armor whenever in public. Even his attendants might not realize the state of his health, considering how Brainwashed and Crazy they are. It doesn't help that neither of his sons are fit to rule in his stead; Rictus is too stupid, Corpus too physically weak.

Artistic License – Geology
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_1a5bba2b
comment
Artistic License – Geology: After discovering that The Green Place has gone sour and turned into the swamp they already passed, rendering her entire journey moot, Furiosa devises a new plan to ride out across the "great salt flats". These salt plains are implied to be the remains of the Pacific Ocean, since it's stated that you can "ride for 100 days" in a single direction. This raises two distinct problems; It's implied that the mass nuclear detonations of the Oil and Water Wars are what caused the oceans to boil away, but as anyone that's ever taken an elementary-level geology class will tell you, boiling water doesn't remove it from the planet; it just makes it evaporate, which will then cause it to rise into the atmosphere, cool down, condense into clouds, and fall as rain or snow. The only geological events that noticeably reduce the amount of water in the oceans are ice ages, since vast quantities of water freeze and get locked up in glaciers or the polar ice caps. Losing an amount of ocean water to render the Pacific, the largest ocean on Earth, into a desolate salt plain, wouldn't work just from nuclear proliferation. On the other hand, if that amount of water did suddenly disappear from the planet (such as by getting atomized from nuclear explosions in the oceans) then Earth's biosphere would be irrevocably and incomprehensibly ruined along with it. Losing that much of the ocean would decimate the phytoplankton population of the planet, which contrary to popular belief is actually responsible for generating most of Earth's oxygen. Additionally, losing that amount of water would damage Earth's climate system by severely reducing Earth's capacity to pull carbon dioxide out of the air, as well as rendering most weather systems completely impotent or non-existent. Suffice to say that if Furiosa's understanding of the state of the oceans is accurate, it won't matter what anyone does or where anyone goes; Earth is dead and humanity is going to die within maybe a century, if we're lucky.

comment
Human Resources: The Central Theme: George Miller had his "Eureka!" Moment as to Fury Road's plot when he visualized, "an extended chase, and the things being chased were going to be not an object but human beings." "(Women) are not things" is the battle cry of Furiosa and the Five Wives; a battle for the future course of human civilization, with the heavy implication that it's stern father-figure patriarchs like Immortan Joe that led to this Crapsack World while Furiosa's Amazon naturalists represent hope and progress — and those who support them ("Battle Fodder" such as Nux) are complicit in their crimes and accomplishments. The Five Wives are Immortan Joe's Sex Slaves, but when his women are no longer useful for the purposes of breeding, they are milked to provide sustenance for the War Boys; an impressive luxury in a world without cattle. When Max is captured, the War Boys use him as a "blood bag", which allows them to perform a blood transfusion on a War Boy if one of them is injured badly enough, or anemic due to medical conditions, like Nux. The War Boys themselves are nothing but Immortan Joe's "Battle Fodder" — not human anymore, but merely mindless weapons in the service of Joe's empire. Nux's service is decried as no different from the armies which caused the apocalypse. And him changing sides is the turning point in the battle. There's also The People Eater, if his name is to be taken literally. (Which, given his obesity and his case of gout, you probably should.)

Cruel and Unusual Death: Several characters (mostly War Boys) meet their ends in very painful-looking ways. One of Joe's Polecats takes an explosive crossbow bolt to the chest, which blasts away so much of his flesh his ribcage is exposed. Joe himself gets his face torn off when Furiosa hooks a harpoon through his mask and lets the cable wrap around the Gigahorse's axle.

Crapsack World: So, so much. The oceans have evaporated, the soil is barren and polluted and people like Nux are developing deadly cancers from the radiation. The Citadel is one of the few stable places to live and it's mentioned it's the only other arable land in the area besides the Green Place (and even the Green Place has become inhospitable within Furiosa's lifetime), with large water reserves that Immortan Joe uses to control his people. In addition to the resource scarcity and hostile environment, opportunistic bandits like the Buzzards and Rock Riders roam the lands outside Joe's domain.

Self-Harm: Splendid Angharad's facial scars have been confirmed to be from self-harm. Also, as a Freeze-Frame Bonus, small scars can be seen on her wrist as she hands Max the water hose. Note that Splendid was Joe's "favorite" and all that it implies. The same kind of scars can be seen for a split second on Furiosa's wrist while she activates the Rig's killswitches, although in another closeup a second later they are no longer visible.

Fire-Forged Friends
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_2493b31d
comment
Fire-Forged Friends: Max and Furiosa. This is invoked with the original team and support vehicles of the War Rig. Note how well they work together during the Buzzard attack. This is a group that has seen many battles together, and mesh well as a unit. When asked what she wants to do about the approaching Buzzard raiders, her response is to "fang it", and no one in the crew so much as questions her decisions, instead they all kick into "battle mode". The main example is when Furiosa and Ace make a coordinated attack against the Buzzard Wrecker. The fluidity of their attack shows the audience that they have made this move before many times, making her "traitoring" of Immortan Joe all the worse in her former crew's eyes. She has been their driver and leader for quite a while, so they are understandably upset when she suddenly wants them all dead. Note the pure hate in Ace's eyes as he tries to choke her after learning of her betrayal.

Try and Follow: Imperator Furiosa takes her War Rig into a sandstorm that's a virtual tornado, to (temporarily) escape the pursuing War Boys. Given their Blood Knight nature not all of the pursuers are deterred, but as Furiosa's Big Badass Rig is heavier it survives while lighter vehicles are blown into the air and destroyed.

Mythology Gag
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The film is utterly packed with them, mostly as Call Backs to the second film. Max begins the film with Barbarian Longhair as he did in Beyond Thunderdome, and has an Important Haircut later in the film. The Interceptor gets wrecked again. Twice. Nux and Slit fighting over who gets to drive harks back to Roop and Charlie arguing over the same thing in the first film. It should also be noted that Roop and Charlie make a cameo in the prequel comic as soldiers in Immortan Joe's first army. Max attempting to fire his shotgun, only to find that the shells are duds. He then uses an empty shotgun as a bluff, just as he did in the second film. Max being strapped to the front of a car as an ornament recalls two settlers having the same happen to them in the second film. Take a closer look at the skull topping the cruciform Max is strapped to. It's wearing a leather pilot's helmet and goggles that are very similar to the Gyro Captain's attire from The Road Warrior. Seriously, look.◊ Furiosa keeps her vehicle rigged so it can't be hijacked. She also keeps a weapon hidden by the controls in case anybody tries to force her to move it. This time, it's Max who spots it. Just like Max in Beyond Thunderdome, Furiosa has a blade hidden in plain sight (Max's flyswatter in Beyond Thunderdome, Furiosa's gear-shift in this film.) Two of Immortan Joe's sons that we see are Rictus Erectus, a dumb giant manchild, and Corpus Colossus, a malformed dwarf. This recalls the pairing of Master Blaster in Beyond Thunderdome. Most of the film is an extended version of The Road Warrior's final chase sequence. Max has to watch a woman and child get run over by the main villain again, only this time, the child hasn't been born yet. What makes it worse is that the villain didn't mean to do it... and it only happens because of something Max inadvertently did. Freeze-Frame Bonus: During one of Max's flashbacks, Toecutter's eyes bulging out can be seen for a fraction of a second. Blink and you'll miss it. The music box Max gives the Feral Child in Mad Max 2 is briefly seen in the hands of one of the fleeing Wives as she tries to stay calm right before the climactic chase. Immortan Joe's weapon of choice is a shiny and chrome revolver that's similar to Lord Humungus's, but without a scope. An attempt is made to sever a limb to escape from chains. One mook who leaps aboard the War Rig during the climactic battle has a triangular "GIVE WAY" road sign for a shield strapped to his arm, like the one Roop accidentally shoots in the opening chase of the first movie. If you look closely, the sign is riddled with holes as if from a shotgun blast. Similar to a scene in the first film, an elderly woman wielding a double-barreled shotgun fails to kill the main villain. The villain is even played by the same actor, Hugh Keays-Byrne. The People Eater, mayor of Gastown, resembles The Collector from the third film, who was an official of Bartertown, another energy-producing settlement. Though no attention is drawn to it, Max is still wearing a leg brace. The absurd number of weapons Max collects in the War Rig to disarm Furiosa recalls Max's Extended Disarming in Bartertown in Beyond Thunderdome. Nux's Heroic Sacrifice is reminiscent of Max's in the climax of Beyond Thunderdome. The facepaint worn by the War Boys and War Pups resembles the paint worn by Scrooloose, one of the feral children from Beyond Thunderdome. Given Scrooloose's surprising display of combat proficiency in Thunderdome's final act, this has led to the popular fan theory that Scroolose was a runaway War Pup. The name "Fury Road" recalls "Anarchie Road" (sic), the setting of the first film's opening scene. Max refers to himself as a Road Warrior in the opening narration. Later, the War Boys tattoo details on his back, including the fact that he is a Road Warrior. One of the details is "No Name", a call back to how Max was introduced as "The Man with no Name" in the Thunderdome. The Big Bad is a Malevolent Masked Man, much like the Big Bad from The Road Warrior, and is played by the same actor as the first film's Big Bad. A pair of boltcutters is used as an Improvised Weapon, though this time to a far greater extent than in The Road Warrior. The People Eater carries a Mauser as his sidearm of choice, much like Bubba Zanetti from Mad Max and Max himself in Beyond Thunderdome.

 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_285f34c7
comment
World of Symbolism: Pick a scene. Any scene. Joe milking his "failed" Wives — he sees them as cattle. The bathing pool in his harem looks like a sperm cell. The "Organic Mechanic" — what present times would call a doctor — is only comprehensible to the post-apocalyptic culture as "someone who can fix people as if they were cars." All the War Boys are covered in white powder — to deter sunburn and keep them cool — which along with their scarred, chapped lips gives them the appearance of skeletal corpses; they consider themselves to be already dead, merely looking for a path to Valhalla. Max and Nux are connected in Chained Heat by a literal bloodline, which limits them both — Max is limited by his constant need to help others despite himself, and Nux is limited by his physical weakness. Max only gets the chain connecting them both cut off him after a subtle act of compassion — firing three warning shots to Furiosa instead of just blowing her head off. Nux has an engine block schematic scarred into his chest — he's one of Joe's War Machines. Max is dubbed a "Blood Bag" and dangled upside-down to replenish anemic War Boys — he's being "milked" for his blood. Nux yanks the steering wheel off his pursuit vehicle and brandishes it — he has no idea where he is going and does not care. The three arms of Joe's empire are basically a military-industrial-corporate right-wing trinity; The People Eater is a greedy, obese oil baron. The Bullet Farmer is a gun-obsessed arms dealer. Immortan Joe himself is a patriarchal politician who rules through religion comprised of equal parts car-culture, gun-worship, re-purposed Viking mythology and other uber-masculine "honor culture" staples. Furiosa's people, the "Vuvalini". The physical world is a toxic wasteland where nothing can grow, and the people are mostly oil, gun, and car-obsessed male warriors and scavengers, with the Arc Words "Who killed the world?". With the movie's overt feminist message, the exchange between Angharad and Nux symbolically blames the apocalypse on masculinity. Angharad calls bullets the anti-seed, "plant one and watch something die." The man who owns the bullet factories is called, fittingly, "The Bullet Farmer." The Vulvalini are good guys because they carry real life-giving seeds on them, not just life-taking bullets. When Angharad gives Max some water, the shot of the running hose is right next to her heavily pregnant belly, symbolizing how both water and mothers give life. Paradoxically, it's held at crotch height and some water dribbles out in a very phallic fashion. On that note, Immortan Joe hoards away the few beautiful, healthy women left in the toxic world, just as he hoards away what little clean water is left, declaring them both his personal property to dispense with as he sees fit. Since both women and water create and sustain new life, Immortan Joe controls who lives and who dies. Angharad uses her own heavily pregnant body to block Joe from shooting him with a very long-barrelled revolver. Joe does not tell her "Get out of the way!" or "Get back in the rig, it's not safe!" but only bellows at her "That's my child! That's my property!" Everyone under Joe has his logo seared into the backs of their necks, from the lowliest "blood bags" (Max) to his highest war generals (Furiosa), and all in between (Wives and War Boys), showing how Joe sees them all as just his own personal property. Furiosa and Joe are both disabled, she with her arm and him with his breathing mechanism. She makes no attempt to hide it and remains badass despite her handicap, while Joe is a Non-Action Big Bad who uses armor and robes to hide his deformity from the world and project a false image of physical superiority. Fittingly, Furiosa kills him by latching her robotic arm to his face mask, and throwing it into the wheels of Joe's own humongous car, simultaneously exposing his own deformity to the world and literally shedding her own. All of the villain's deaths are ironic: The Bullet Farmer, who hoards munitions, is presumably either shot or blown up, the morbidly obese People Eater, who uses human beings as commodities, is used as a literal meat shield, and Joe, who leads a cult of muscle-car worshippers, is killed when Furiosa latches his mask to the wheels of his own humongous car. Max's ultimate heroic act is using his salvaged "blood bag" IV tubing to give Furiosa his blood, saving her life — meaning his greatest act is not killing but healing. Max's Iconic Outfit is dirty and dingy when it first appears because he's just another scavenger. When he is captured, it's taken from him as a battle trophy, along with his Cool Car. He takes it back after escaping, but it's still just a tattered piece of clothing. After he returns from killing the Bullet Farmer it's much cooler-looking, because he is once again the Road Warrior.

Life-or-Limb Decision: There's a Call-Back to the first movie when Max finds himself chained to an unconscious Nux and is fully prepared to shotgun off Nux's wrist. Fortunately for Nux the shells are duds, and Max has to carry him to someone who has boltcutters.

Facial Dialogue: Max throughout most of this film seems to communicate entirely through this method, only speaking a scant few lines or just grunting otherwise. Take his triumphant expression when Slit unlocks him from where he's chained to the front of Nux's vehicle, as he now has a chance to escape.

Inadequate Inheritor

Inadequate Inheritor: Immortan Joe desires a perfect male heir, combining physical strength, cunning and intelligence, but none of his three sons measure up to his standards: Corpus Colossus is a clever administrator, but due to his physical disabilities he could never lead a warrior culture like the War Boys. Rictus Erectus is huge and strong, but he's a child-minded simpleton who could never lead due to his lack of intellect. Scabrous Scrotus is a "psychopathic killer,"◊ and would probably become The Caligula if he was left in charge of the Citadel, jeopardizing Joe's whole legacy in the process, which is the last thing a Well-Intentioned Extremist like him wants. Angharad's child would apparently have been the true heir, being "perfect in every way."

Awesome, but Impractical
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Subverted by the infamous Doof Warrior◊. The guy does look absolutely ridiculous, but it turns out he actually works as a sort of war drummer for the Warboys, playing inspiring music and even allowing Joe to give his boys orders in a world with no radio communication equipment. The refinery on the back of the Gastown rig gives it a very distinctive appearance and allows the People Eater to refuel other vehicles while charging about, but it's revealed during the final battle that carrying around massive quantities of highly flammable substances in a world full of things that explode is decidedly unhelpful when it comes to not catching fire in spectacular fashion. Immortan Joe's large water distribution pipes are an impressive sight to behold, but they are ridiculously wasteful, as they dump out huge quantities of water onto the ground just to allow his people to collect small amounts of it. Justified by being part of the way Joe maintains his hold on his people: by giving the illusion of generously dispensing fresh water to the thirsty crowd below in amounts that turn out to never be enough.note As for the quantity spilled, the comics reveal that Joe is sitting on twenty thousand cubic kilometers of groundwater, enough to fill 8 million olympic pools, so he can actually afford the waste. This Tumblr post claims that Joe is actually using a discharge pipe normally used for testing the aquifer.

Max and Nux are connected in Chained Heat by a literal bloodline, which limits them both — Max is limited by his constant need to help others despite himself, and Nux is limited by his physical weakness. Max only gets the chain connecting them both cut off him after a subtle act of compassion — firing three warning shots to Furiosa instead of just blowing her head off.

Nux is Latin for "nut" (which he is), but also figuratively for "a worthless thing", which he considers himself as at the beginning. Also, according to the comic book tie-in, Nux was so-named because he was "a hard nut to crack".

It Works Better with Bullets: After Max holds up Furiosa and the Wives at gunpoint in exchange for water and bolt cutters, Furiosa manages to turn the tables on him, grab the shotgun he was holding them up with, and pull the trigger... only to find out it was unloaded.

Worldbuilding: George Miller is an expert. Without a single line of exposition, you get a lived-in world (especially in the Citadel). The first things you see there are Immortan Joe giving water to a thirsty populace (but not giving enough and wasting most of it), a hydroponic farm, a human milking room, and a harem room. Those images giving you all the information you need about what sort of place the Citadel is. In addition, everyone has their own motivations, but that info is doled out naturally. For example, the Big Bad Triumvirate don't always see eye-to-eye and they have their own reasons for their actions.

The first time we get a good look at the Citadel and its leaders we see Immortan Joe release some water from the outflow pipes for the crowded masses beneath, but only enough for the downtrodden to fight over. At the end of the film when Furiosa and the remaining Wives liberate the Citadel and present Joe's corpse, the milk mothers release the water once more, this time to let everyone have their fill.

Rule of Cool: How can Furiosa have a fully functional mechanical arm in a world with no means of designing it? Who cares? Also an example of the Rule of Drama; Furiosa gets her arm entangled in Joe's face mask and throws it into his car wheels to kill him, something that would obviously be impossible with a regular arm. A guitarist serving as a drummer "boy" for Joe's forces is reasonable. Having the guitar also be a flamethrower is this trope.

 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_371b253a
comment
Testosterone Poisoning: Deconstructed. Immortan Joe puts a heavy emphasis on hyper-masculinity in the running of his empire and the cult he's built around himself. This is shown to be harmful to everyone, men and women alike. Women are treated essentially like livestock, valued only for their looks and fertility. Barring that, they are kept either out of the Citadel or used as milk farms. The men strong enough are brainwashed into a psychotic Martyrdom Culture obsessed with cars and battle, willing to kill themselves "historically" in service to their Glorious Leader in the hopes that they will be resurrected in the Warrior Heaven of Valhalla. In the end, the only ones who benefit from this mindset are Immortan Joe himself and his fellow warlords.

Sequel Escalation
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_391d6577
comment
Sequel Escalation: To a ridiculous degree. The Interceptor was destroyed shortly before the final chase in The Road Warrior. Here, it gets wrecked in the first five minutes. And, after a rebuild, it gets wrecked again late into the film. In each film, Max has fought progressively bigger antagonists, in the first film it was a small gang of bikers, in the second a large clan of marauders, and in the third Auntie Entity was a warlord controlling the small settlement of Bartertown. Here, Joe is a dictator who controls his own religion with a massive tower and works with at least two other warlords. The famous climax of The Road Warrior is a Stern Chase on a Big Badass Rig while pursued by enemy soldiers. Fury Road takes that chase and stretches it out to the length of the entire movie.

Actor Allusion
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Max gets a metal restraint mask chained onto his face for a good portion of the first act, which resembles Tom Hardy's role as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, and his voice slips into Bane's at points. Nux's steering wheel also bears a doll head wearing what superficially resembles Bane's mask. Additionally, this time, he's the one who beats up a huge musclebound bald, superhumanly strong villain who wears a respirator mask on the lower half of his face and defeats him by disabling his oxygen supply. And the Big Bad is played by the Big Bad from the first movie, and wears a mask like the Big Bad from the second movie (whose gigantic near-nakedness is taken up by the Big Bad's Dragon). In the Vertigo Comics prequel, the Five Wives are shown to have learned music. Capable's instrument is the guitar — just like Riley Keough's famous grandfather Elvis Presley. For bonus points, one of the vehicles in the chase is named Elvis. Rosie Huntington-Whitley previously appeared in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, where her character had a run-in with an evil warlord tyrant who was a Big Badass Rig covered in rusty spikes and chains.

 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_3d2c6d30
comment
Skewed Priorities: Immortan Joe sends his entire army to chase down the war rig and a handful of runaway sex slaves, expending huge amounts of fuel, ammo, and troops in an attempt to get them back. This also leaves his community completely unguarded. Not such a great idea for a dictator who rules with an iron fist. The People Eater calls him out on this.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Regarding Splendid Angharad's leg injury. When they first meet, Max accidentally grazes it when he fires warning shots at her. At first, she seems just fine save for a little bleeding, but over time the bleeding gets worse and the pain bothers her more and more. It comes to a head when all hands are needed to shake off pursuers and she jumps out of the rig to help her rescuers, but her leg injury ensures that she can't get a proper foothold to climb back in, which leads to her falling to her death. Max and Furiosa's initial fight. Furiosa is highly trained and experienced at inflicting violence, about as much as Max, and has several huge advantages: she opens the fight with a sneak attack, gets her hands on several weapons, is fighting a guy who is chained to a hostile prisoner and can't use all his limbs at once (this is balanced out by the fact that she lacks one of her arms), has five other women to help her (though they don't do much, they can still pull on his chains to unbalance him), and Max is already dehydrated, exhausted, and injured going in. On top of this, Max doesn't actually want to hurt her, just do the minimum to neutralize her as a threat and then leave, while she goes for lethal force immediately. So how does the fight turn out? Max wins. Easily. Furiosa only ever has a chance when she has a weapon on her (a club, an empty gun, a chain, a hose, a loaded gun), and when that fails, he pretty much immediately overpowers her. The gap in strength between women and even average-sized men is really, really big. Females have 37-68% of muscle strength of males in general. Also regarding Furiosa's War Rig. Her destination is at least a day's journey, but driving a huge, gas-guzzling rig non-stop across a sweltering hot desert eventually overheats the engine, forcing the group to stop to let the engine cool off before they can continue. Considering their pursuers, this is a problem. Generally speaking, everything involving the nature of a chase through harsh environments; especially illustrated by the War Rig. Drove through a sand-lightning-tornado-storm? Rig needs to have the sand taken out of the intakes. Rig's engine block is on fire? Need to lower the plow to apply dust to extinguish it. Stuck in a quagmire? Place the engine covers under the wheels for traction. Overdo the direct oil injection boosts? The engines fail and need fixing. The rig doesn't run on miracles; it's an engine and it needs to be maintained. Nux's eagerness to prove himself to Immortan Joe by charging blindly into the fray without noticing the situation around him qualifies. The first attempt for glory is foiled by Max, who just wants to get the hell out of Dodge while Nux still believes he's on his side. The second attempt is stopped by the Wives after he tries to kill Furiosa, because he believes Furiosa kidnapped them, not realizing that the Wives followed her of their own free will. The third and most humiliating attempt is when he tries too hard to impress Immortan Joe and ends up looking like an idiot because he doesn't notice that his chain got stuck on the rig and falls off. Really, Nux's character prior his Heel–Face Turn could serve well as a Deconstruction of the Determinator character type. After the Bullet Farmer is blinded, he goes on a raving More Dakka spree, Dual Wielding guns and firing sightlessly... and not hitting a single thing. Sending a gargantuan War Rig after a relatively small force in a post-apocalyptic setting where fuel, working vehicles and munition is a scarcity, proves to be a massive waste of resources, as the People Eater points out. At the climax, the way Furiosa pulls out the gearshift she had been stabbed with demonstrates why in real life you do not remove an impaling object from an injury. She develops a pneumothorax and very nearly exsanguinates before Max gives her a blood transfusion.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Despite being set in Australia, all of the actors use their natural accents, which results in a weird eclectic mix of Australian (The Dag, Cheedo, the Vuvalini, almost all of Joe's forces), English (Max, Angharad, Nux) and American (Furiosa, Toast, Capable) accents.

Secretly Dying: Immortan Joe. He's weak of breath, needs help walking, and has attendants caring for scars or boils on his back. He disguises this to his followers by donning muscular-looking armor whenever in public. Even his attendants might not realize the state of his health, considering how Brainwashed and Crazy they are. It doesn't help that neither of his sons are fit to rule in his stead; Rictus is too stupid, Corpus too physically weak. The Keeper of the Seeds, after being mortally wounded in the co-driver seat of the War Rig. She manages to take out the Mook who stabbed Furiosa before peacefully going out with a smile.

Gory Discretion Shot: With the exception of Immortan Joe's horrific death, most of the messiest deaths in the film are shown only briefly or not in detail. At one point in the final battle, Max blocks a chainsaw with a human shield but we don't get to see much more than the unfortunate mook thrashing around with blood on the blade, and the camera pans away before we can see the mess that was made of his torso. Invoked with the demise of the Bullet Farmer. Max comes back with a bag full of ammunition, a replacement steering wheel and a boot for Nux. He comes back covered in blood after the War Rig crew hear a loud explosion. Furiosa notes that the blood "isn't Max's". Something truly horrible happened to the Bullet Farmer's men, and its name is Max, but the audience never sees what. Doubles as an Offscreen Moment of Awesome.

Zeerust Canon: Most if not all of the vehicles are based on pre-1979 models, in keeping with the original trilogy. Justified in that They Don't Make Them Like They Used To — these models can stand up to the harsh desert conditions better than modern computerized vehicles, so even if later models ever existed, the older ones are the only working cars left. Also justified in that older vehicles would still be available by the fact that they are made of iron and steel, while modern vehicles tend to be made of fiberglass and plastic. Given a choice between these materials, it is easy to pick metal as the substance more likely to stand up to abuse. Most fiberglass/carbon fiber parts would be useless bits of plastic at that point. Same goes for most of the guns that appear, with most, if not all, being Cold War era weaponry at the latest, with some being much older, such as the Webley revolver and Luger Furiosa stashed on the War Rig, or the positively antique guns wielded by the Vuvalini (including a muzzle loading musket). In fact, the most notable exception is the Glock that gets passed between Max and Furiosa for much of the film and even that had been in development during the original film's release.

On a similar note: identity. The film has Max and Furiosa constantly questioning just who they are, and they lock eyes as Book Ends, but also constantly lock eyes during the film, as if trying to find out who the other really is, too. Their constant held gazes could be read as silent dialogue along the lines of "Who are you?" "I don't know myself," which echo back and forth between them.

Acoustic License: The film mostly takes place at high speed with a fleet of massive, unmuffled V8s, not to mention the Doof Wagon's wailing guitar chords and booming taiko drums; yet wind noise only shows up maybe once and the roar of the engines is only audible when the vehicles themselves are the focus. People have no trouble yelling to other vehicles across several meters of air that should by all rights be flooded with cacophony. The film depicts the Doof Warrior as playing through the speakers at max volume at all times. Although some of the speakers and iOta's guitar were fully functional (yes, including the flamethrower) as props, most of the guitar playing we hear in the actual movie wasn't captured "live" and they didn't have the entire bank of speakers on the Doof Wagon ever playing at once on set, probably because that many speakers all playing at once right behind him with no muffling or ear protection would most likely have killed the Doof Warrior in real lifenote It should also be mentioned that the guitar itself sounded absolutely terrible when it was actually being played, hence another reason why it was overdubbed in post. Even in-universe, he's canonically deaf from doing this for years.

Human Notepad: After being captured and taken to the Citadel, Max has all the information relevant to their People Farms forcibly tattooed on his back: he's a Universal Donor, has intact eyes and testicles, no apparent radiation scars, and is a road warrior. The tattoo also notes also that he's aggressive and must be kept muzzled. Nux has his ritualistic scars sculpted in the shape of an engine schematic. Miss Giddy, the old lady who tries to shoot Immortan Joe at the beginning of the movie, has her entire body tattooed with historical notes (as does her successor, as shown in the comics).

Pop the Tires
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_5730ba86
comment
Pop the Tires: A common tactic employed against the War Rig, albeit with quite limited success courtesy of its spiked hubcaps. The Warboys do manage to burst one tire during the final battle, but it helps them little as the tire they shred is an apocalyptic version of a run-flat so the War Rig just keeps rolling. Furiosa manages to do this to Nux's car's front left wheel, hoping it would slow him down or make him crash. Nux responds by telling Slit to move the "bloodbag" to the back as counterweight, so he only has to rely on the right wheel for turning and balance.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The organizational structure of the Citadel — a city-state almost entirely populated by slaves, kept in line by a small elite group of men who are separated from their family at a young age, stripped of their identity, and then indoctrinated into a Martyrdom Culture designed to make them fanatically loyal to the state — resembles that of ancient Sparta.

Letting the Air out of the Band: Joe's forces are stopped in the quagmire when the vanguard vehicles are taken out by Max and Furiosa's booby trap, forcing the following ones to stop and get bogged down. When the Doof Wagon gets caught in the jam, the Doof Warrior keeps playing for a bit before noticing that they aren't moving anymore, gives a few more tentative strums, then stops.

Enemy Mine: Max and Furiosa's entire alliance begins as this due to the distrust the two have until they, and the entire group, become Fire-Forged Friends. Nux's whole character arc begins as this as well. When Nux wakes up during Max and Furiosa's fight, he immediately begins helping Max by tripping Furiosa and grabbing the magazine from her gun. This is after Nux has been taking his blood for the first fifteen minutes of the movie, but he begins working with his "blood bag" without speaking a word or any hesitation.

The Central Theme: George Miller had his "Eureka!" Moment as to Fury Road's plot when he visualized, "an extended chase, and the things being chased were going to be not an object but human beings." "(Women) are not things" is the battle cry of Furiosa and the Five Wives; a battle for the future course of human civilization, with the heavy implication that it's stern father-figure patriarchs like Immortan Joe that led to this Crapsack World while Furiosa's Amazon naturalists represent hope and progress — and those who support them ("Battle Fodder" such as Nux) are complicit in their crimes and accomplishments.

Future Slang
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_60441d9
comment
Future Slang: Nux seems to use "chrome" or "shiny" as a way to say "cool" or "wonderful". There's also "half-life", a person destined to die from radiation sickness, and "full-life", someone who's healthy. There's also "guzzolene", continued from The Road Warrior. "Fuk-ushima" is used as a swear and the term "Kamikrazy" appears a few times in the film, as does "McFeast." This applies to sentence structure and conjugation as well. Several times, the War Boys will state that they will show their enemies how to "do war". Also, "traitor/betrayed" has mutated into "traitored"; for example, Slit stated that Nux and Furiosa "traitored" Immortan Joe. Some of it is simply obscure, old-fashioned or regional Australian slang. "Fang it" means quickly pushing a car's acceleration as far as it will go, equivalent to "step on it". There's also "schlanger", which the Dag uses to mean the male genitalia, and "smeg", which seems to mean something like "creep". It's apparently based on "smegma," which is grime that collects on genitalia. Then there's "dag", which is the hardened bit of excreta that accumulates under a sheep's woolly tail. At the start, before the War Rig sets out to Gas Town, the Prime Imperator calls the War Boys "fucachima kamakrazee" in his Rousing Speech, apparently a mangled version of "Fukushima" and a portmanteau of "kamikaze" and "crazy".

We Have Reserves: All of the wasteland factions that appear are continually willing to keep throwing away lives long after the costs outweigh the potential rewards. Immortan Joe even raises generations of suicide troops for this very reason; he specifically separates out "half-lives" — men who are very obviously close to death such as Nux due to his anemia and throat-constricting neck tumors — and promises them eternity in Valhalla if they die in his battles. The only exception are the Vuvalini, and given their diminished numbers it's very likely they've been living this way too.

Gun Porn: The film features a lot more guns than the post-apocalyptic norm set by The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, where people tended to shoot arrows instead, and bullets were few and far between. Justified, in that one of the towns is The Bullet Farm, where there's smelting and mining to manufacture ammunition.

Bottomless Fuel Tanks: Double Subverted. Seeing all the entries about Surprisingly Realistic Outcome below (especially regarding proper maintenance of a big engine), the loss of the War Rig's 3,000 gallons/11,356 liters of fuelnote Real trucks this size get about 6MPG or 39L/100km on a flat paved highway in the rear pod halfway through the film bodes ill for the protagonists... except the only consequence is a big explosion.

Meaningful Echo: A shot of Max standing next to his vehicle, feeling lost and tormented by voices, is given once at the start and then again when he doesn't join Furiosa and the Vuvalini. When word spreads that Furiosa has gone rogue, Slit gets a steering wheel and Nux, who is supposed to be the driver, has to grab it and have a tug-of-war with Slit as he fights for the right to drive. Later, when Max gives Nux another wheel to replace the War Rig's lost one, it's like the former scene in reverse, and Nux seems honored to be given the wheel by the rig's current driver.

Max's Iconic Outfit is dirty and dingy when it first appears because he's just another scavenger. When he is captured, it's taken from him as a battle trophy, along with his Cool Car. He takes it back after escaping, but it's still just a tattered piece of clothing. After he returns from killing the Bullet Farmer it's much cooler-looking, because he is once again the Road Warrior.

The Triple: Max refuses to budge in the War Rig after the kill switches are activated. Furiosa thinks he's going to make a bargain with Immortan Joe, and points out he'll be pissed for damaging his favorite Wife. Max doesn't react. She then says he's driving a Big Badass Rig, the only hope of escaping. That gets his attention, but he still doesn't budge. Furiosa then offers help getting his mask off. That works.

In the final battle, the War Rig is beset on all sides by War Boys, so Nux climbs on to the hood of the War Rig and starts spitting gas from the hose into the engine intake. Not to be undone, Slit does the same on the hood of the jury-rigged Interceptor, and it devolves into an almost literal spitting contest. And then Max joins in. It's hilarious.

Crisis Point Hospital: The Organic Mechanic's corner of the Citadel can barely qualify as a surgery, much less a hospital: it's squeezed into a hallway, with the patients and donors set up on stone steps, scant inches from being trodden on by passers-by. Needless to say, it's hardly sterile, and not helped by the fact that the Mechanic is pretty demented even by post-apocalyptic standards; also, the War Boys are notoriously contemptuous towards the weak and infirm.

Too Awesome to Use: Although ammo is for once not all that scarce in this franchise thanks to the existence of the Bullet Farm, Max and Furiosa do have to carefully consider the use of their BFG, an enormous sniper rifle, as they only have four bullets for that particular gun. This trope shows up again after Max deals with the Bullet Farmer and collects an arsenal off of the guy. After that, Max and Furiosa are never seen using guns again (barring Max's brief use of a Browning Hi-Power) with only their comrades, the Vuvalini, making use of any firearm — which were the longarms that they had with them since they first met Furiosa and Max.

Establishing Character Moment
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Just about every main character in the film gets one. After his ominous opening monologue, Max is seen scanning the ravaged horizon in a brooding fashion, before stomping on a mutant lizard — and eating it — without even looking at it, showing even people who've never seen a Mad Max movie before that this dude is badass, troubled, and rapidly going insane. Another moment for Max comes in his brawl with Furiosa where, despite being dehydrated, partially exsanguinated, barely conscious, and having just recovered from a car crash, he still manages to beat Furiosa in hand-to-hand combat — and deliberately blows three precious bullets on warning shots instead of just shooting her in the head, the first major indicator — both to the other characters and the audience — that despite what horribly shell-shocked Max is, he's still a good man who doesn't kill people if he can possibly avoid it. Joe is introduced as the War Pups attend to his ruined body, putting on armor that gives the illusion of physical strength, before giving the people of the Citadel enough water to fight over but not enough to survive on, telling us everything we need to know about him with only a few sentences of dialogue. Furiosa is shown through a close-up of Joe's brand on the back of her neck, and all the War Boys saluting as she passes, indicating that she's both highly respected and no less a slave to Joe than anyone else. Notably, it's not until she gets in the War Rig that we see she's both one-armed and female. Nux is shown slumped against a wall asking the other War Boys what's happened, apparently too weak to fight, but when Slit tells him he's too sick to drive, Nux knocks him down with a headbutt, demonstrating that Nux is sickly but much stronger than he looks, both physically and mentally.

Large Ham: Immortan Joe, considering that he's played by the same actor as Toecutter from the first film. The Bullet Farmer definitely qualifies as well, at least after he gets indirectly blinded by Furiosa, after which he goes into a completely nonsensical and self-important rant while firing a couple of guns like crazy, not caring whether he hits and kills any of the Wives or not: Nux also deserves a mention here, enthusiastically shouting almost half his lines over the course of about the first half of the movie. It's pretty clear that Nicholas Hoult was having a blast playing the character. However, he noticeably calms down after his Heel–Face Turn, and is more prone to speaking in a regular, less flamboyant manner from that point onward.

Joe is introduced as the War Pups attend to his ruined body, putting on armor that gives the illusion of physical strength, before giving the people of the Citadel enough water to fight over but not enough to survive on, telling us everything we need to know about him with only a few sentences of dialogue.

Although ammo is for once not all that scarce in this franchise thanks to the existence of the Bullet Farm, Max and Furiosa do have to carefully consider the use of their BFG, an enormous sniper rifle, as they only have four bullets for that particular gun.

Humanoid Abomination: Whatever those... things were that the gang passes on their way through the swamp look the part. They walk on what appear to be stilts, are hidden under ragged cloaks, and (according to the Vuvalini) have some sort of relationship with the crows. As the War Rig passes by, they stop and creepily stare. They're what's left of the Vuvalini that stayed behind, and they are called the Crow Fishers. The stilts are the best way to navigate the toxic swamp they live in, and for food they catch crows with nets, and use the feathers for clothing. Otherwise, they are normal humans.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: We see neither hide nor hair of Miss Giddy or the Organic Mechanic after Angharad's c-section in the quagmire. Last we see, they're on the Gigahorse with Joe, but in the final chase they're both curiously absent. A deleted scene shows that Miss Giddy was tortured for information on the Wives' plans. When she refused, she and Angharad (or Angharad's body) were left in the desert and attacked by crows, presumably until they both were dead. Articles about the above scene also state that the Organic Mechanic was off relieving himself in the desert when the War Rig was spotted and consequently left behind.

Show, Don't Tell: Often listed as one of the film's greatest strengths is its in-depth Worldbuilding with minimal dialogue (including the opening voiceover, Max himself only has 52 lines). For example, the beginning shows a tumor-ridden Immortan Joe having powder applied to his skin, donning muscular-looking armor to hide his affliction, and giving a gathered crowd of other sickly people water — but not enough. It tells you everything you need to know about what kind of place the Citadel is and we haven't even gotten to the sex slaves yet.

Artistic License – Medicine
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_8d6d9535
comment
Artistic License – Medicine: Director George Miller (a former emergency room physician) made sure to avert this trope. Many of the medical conditions and their management depicted in the Mad Max movies are done so with great attention to accuracy. Nux appears to have some form of cancer, most likely lymphoma or leukemia, and is consequently severely anemic. He requires blood transfusions in order to stay active, which is why he has to take Max along as a "blood bag". A quick shot shows that the People Eater is suffering from elephantiasis of his right leg. Furiosa develops a tension pneumothorax,note A punctured lung is leaking air into her chest cavity, pressurizing it and thus making it harder and harder for her lungs to inflate and Max uses a knife to perform a needle decompression, which is the appropriate treatment. She also accurately displays the effects of exsanguination (which one of the Vuvalini even mentions aloud), rapidly turning a deathly shade of grey as the blood drains to her wound. The film also plays this trope straight in a few ways. If Furiosa really were rapidly bleeding to death, Max's blood transfusion would likely be too slow to adequately replenish her blood volume in time. And even if Max's transfusion was successful, the cause of her bleeding and her punctured lung would need to be addressed. Her penetrating chest wound would also need some form of continuous suction to keep her lung from collapsing again. Another Acceptable Break from Reality is the Reckless Gun Usage that should have resulted in several ruptured eardrums, a notable example being when Max fired a handgun at point-blank range three times near Furiosa's head, and when Furiosa fired her sniper rifle while using Max's shoulder to keep the barrel steady. The end of the barrel was right in front of his cheek. Max does suffer brief tinnitus, but in reality it would have been much worse. Also played rather straight in regards to Max's blood being transfused to Nux. It only takes about ten minutes to transfer a single pint, so Max should have been rather weakened by the time, Nux's car was wrecked in the storm, adrenaline notwithstanding. Plus, being on the outside of the car when it flipped probably should have killed him, soft sand landing or not. For that matter, Max loses a lot of blood throughout the entire movie, but is never seen replenishing himself or suffering from blood-loss fatigue. Especially in the end, when after everything he's been put through, he still somehow has enough blood to give some to Furiosa and walk off into the sunset, no worse for wear. By all rights, he should've been delirious and passing out through the whole ordeal. Many of the characters should be worried about getting an infection by the time they reach the end of the film.

Karmic Death
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_90d44f44
comment
Karmic Death: Heavily implied with the Vuvalini, and mixed with Redemption Equals Death. All of them have engaged in banditry, with the Vuvalini Elder stating that all of them have done terrible things to survive (never mind our introduction to them basically being a lure to reel in potential victims). All of them die in the final battle, each giving their lives to make sure Furiosa, the Wives, and Max complete their mission. Big Bad Immortan Joe wears an air scrubber on his back and a breath mask to ensure that the air he breathes is cleaner than anyone else's, and drives a war chariot with more horsepower than anything his War Boys have access to. Thus there's something poetic about his death: Furiosa hooks the hoses of his mask with a harpoon and drops the line into the chariot's wheels, ripping the lower half of his face off.

Rule of Symbolism
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: The way Furiosa kills Joe. She attaches her mechanical arm (the symbol of her disability) to his breathing mask (the symbol of his), and kills him by throwing a grappling hook wrapped around her arm into the wheels of Joe's car. She embraces her disability and uses it to her advantage, while Joe's philosophy teaches that all physical disability is weakness. Both of them are handicapped, but she makes no secret of her disability, while he tries to disguise his own rather disgusting body with ridiculous fake muscular armor and an army of war boys to do his bidding. In the end, she literally casts aside her own disability, showing that she won't let it define her, while Joe's inability to do the same gets his face ripped off. Bonus points for the grappling hook going into the wheels of his own massive gas-guzzling car, an additional symbol of masculine virility used to disguise physical and moral weakness.

Nux's eagerness to prove himself to Immortan Joe by charging blindly into the fray without noticing the situation around him qualifies. The first attempt for glory is foiled by Max, who just wants to get the hell out of Dodge while Nux still believes he's on his side. The second attempt is stopped by the Wives after he tries to kill Furiosa, because he believes Furiosa kidnapped them, not realizing that the Wives followed her of their own free will. The third and most humiliating attempt is when he tries too hard to impress Immortan Joe and ends up looking like an idiot because he doesn't notice that his chain got stuck on the rig and falls off. Really, Nux's character prior his Heel–Face Turn could serve well as a Deconstruction of the Determinator character type.

Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: While Furiosa is doing repairs on the War Rig, Capable finds Nux lamenting that he didn't get to "go to Valhalla". By showing the War Boy some kindness, Capable manages to convince him that he should live on. The film gives the audience a single fifteen-minute stretch — when Max and company meet up with the Vuvalini — to catch its breath before going into the finale. Before the action begins again, we're treated to Immortan Joe doing a sort-of Aboriginal prayer to Splendid with what looks like a native prayer stick.

Men Are the Expendable Gender: Two different characters — the female Furiosa and the male Nux — are on a journey for redemption after having been active participants in Immortan Joe's corrupt system. Take a wild guess which one dies for it. In-universe, the War Boys are taught from a young age that not only are they expendable, but that death in battle is the only way to reach Valhalla. Averted with the Vuvalini, as all of them are female and almost all of them die in the final battle.

Continuity Reboot: Technically, Fury Road isn't one. George Miller declared the Sequel Gap made him discard trying to make Fury Road a "proper" sequel to Beyond Thunderdome, but since he considers the Max films to be, essentially, "Legends of the man called Mad Max", continuity isn't all that important. It can be considered a Thunderdome sequel with Max's age simply (in Miller's words) a "James Bond" situation,note That is, just roll with it, or an alternate follow-up to the original Mad Max (it opens with Max on the Pursuit Special, haunted by his dead family). The tie-in comics imply the former by referencing the events of Road Warrior and Thunderdome as parts of Max's past.

Guardian Entity: Max's hallucinations of Glory the Child is a weird example of this. Most of the time, she's there to torment him of his failures (especially when he's entirely out for himself), but there are a couple of occasions where her appearances benefit Max. Once is when she appeared and motivates Max to come up with a plan to take the Citadel and convinces Furiosa's group to turn back from their suicide journey across the Great Salt. The other time is when her appearance triggers Max's instinctive reaction to cover his face with his hand, saving his life from a bolt fired at his head by a War Boy.

Maternity Crisis: Subverted—Angharad clutches her stomach and gasps in pain while hiding from the Rock Riders, but it turns out the baby was just squirming and kicking painfully. A brief shot of her bare stomach during the ensuing chase shows him kicking so hard that her skin stretches.

Safe Zone Hope Spot: Furiosa is taking the Wives to "the green place", an oasis where she was born and raised before being abducted by Immortan Joe. Her tribe tells her that they had already passed it when they drove through the quagmire. Apparently, since her abduction, the green place soured and dried up, forcing her tribemates to scavenge like everyone else. The tree they use as an anchor to get the War Rig out is an early clue to this. Turns out that the only fertile land left is the Citadel that they just left behind.

comment
Exposed to the Elements: The warboys ride shirtless in a hot desert. The Five Wives wear scanty robes ill-suited to protecting them from the desert sun and sand, let alone fire and flying metal. Justified as they are a harem who've spent their lives in a Gilded Cage and literally escaped with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The Vuvalini's "bait", who is naked on a tower exposed to the sun in the middle of a desert. Though it is part of a Honey Trap, as she is later revealed to wear appropriate clothing for living in the desert and motorcycling.

Live-Action Cartoon: In a rare non-comedic example. Characters survive things they really shouldn't, the Deadly Dust Storm is frankly impossible, everyone has as much gas, water, and bullets as the film requires (despite the scarcity of these resources being a major element of the world, pointed out repeatedly), all in the name of balls-to-the-wall-over-the-top action and deeply, emotionally compelling story. Because of the excessively long production style, George Miller actually considered making it an animated film.

The Hecate Sisters: Represented by the Wives as the nubile young maidens, Furiosa as the protective mother (as well as the more literal "milk mothers" of the Citadel), and the Vuvalini as the wise old crones. An alternative distribution would be the Wives as varying between maiden and mother (the visibly pregnant Angharad in particular tending towards the latter) while the infertile Furiosa fulfills the role of the bitter and warlike crone.

Foreshadowing: Angharad is the only Wife who is injured when Max shoots at the War Rig. In the entire film, she is the only one of the Wives to die. Furiosa's skill with long-range shots is actually displayed well before the moment she shoots out the Bullet Farmer's lights in the quagmire; earlier while taking a small reprieve, she shoots down two War Boys on a motorcycle who had just barely gotten into visual range — with one bullet. Two birds with one stone. Even earlier than that; while the group was speeding out of the canyon facing off against the bikers — take a look at how Furiosa and Max decided to take out their pursuers: Max opted for the handgun — using as many shots as he needed to bring down a target; while Furiosa took the rifle — and she aimed for headshots. This also foreshadows the Vuvalini's penchant for long-range rifles, as they say themselves: one man, one bullet. The quagmire they pass through with dead trees is a hint that The Green Place is no more. Furiosa offers to help remove Max's mask. At the climax, she removes Immortan Joe's to kill him. While he's being comforted by Capable, Nux tells her that he thought he "was being spared for something great". He was. Nux: "If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die historic on the fury road!" Keen viewers might notice that, while the characters and film are focused on the explosive skirmish with the Buzzards, the sky ahead is steadily filling with nasty storm clouds.

Counting Bullets: When Furiosa has Toast inventory their ammunition, she announces that they only have four rounds left for their SKS rifle. While Max is using the rifle to take potshots at the Bullet Farmer, she lets him know how many bullets he has left after each shot. He reconsiders his aimless shooting and lets Furiosa take the last shot, which shatters the Bullet Farmer's spotlight and blinds him.

Feminist Fantasy: An unconventional example in that the film is filled to the brim with explosions and spiked monster trucks and bare-chested War Boys, but nonetheless has a very anti-patriarchy message: women are not things. Additionally, the film is driven by Action Girl Furiosa rather than Max himself (who is more of a Supporting Protagonist and Audience Surrogate), and her struggle to liberate five objectified women from sexual slavery. And then there's the Vuvalini. Ultimately, Fury Road manages to be both a testosterone-driven action extravaganza and a female power fantasy. Considering the women in the movie, and the women who worked to create the movie though, perhaps it's time to at least partially retire the idea that explosions and monster trucks aren't things women would like.

Also regarding Furiosa's War Rig. Her destination is at least a day's journey, but driving a huge, gas-guzzling rig non-stop across a sweltering hot desert eventually overheats the engine, forcing the group to stop to let the engine cool off before they can continue. Considering their pursuers, this is a problem.

Mood Whiplash

Mood Whiplash: Omnipresent. When Max is first fleeing from the War Boys. He gets in his Interceptor, speeds off with the War Boys in hot pursuit, setting the audience up for a badass chase scene... until they almost immediately wreck his car with an explosive spear and drag him out of the wreckage. Angharad helps save Max's life and just barely avoids getting splatted by a massive rock in the process. He gives her a grateful thumbs up, she smiles, then slips on the blood from her leg wound, falls off the War Rig and gets run over by Joe's truck. During a heartfelt conversation about life as a War Boy, Nux mentions his mates "Larry and Barry"... and points to two tumors on his neck with smiley faces drawn on them. After his Heel–Face Turn, Nux is gently resting in the War Rig with the wives, enjoying the peace of being accepted into their group. He spots a bug on Capable's shoulder, gently picks it off without waking her up... and eats it. After the night segment, they come to a lone tower in the middle of nowhere with a naked woman at the top screaming for help. Max points out that it's a trap and the mood is tense... until Furiosa announces who she is and all her clan sisters return to gratefully welcome her back into the fold. Then it shifts again when the Keeper of the Seeds tells Furiosa that the Green Place is gone. In the final battle, the War Rig is beset on all sides by War Boys, so Nux climbs on to the hood of the War Rig and starts spitting gas from the hose into the engine intake. Not to be undone, Slit does the same on the hood of the jury-rigged Interceptor, and it devolves into an almost literal spitting contest. And then Max joins in. It's hilarious.

Happiness in Slavery
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_a58802b7
comment
Happiness in Slavery: While everyone in the Citadel is effectively owned by Immortan Joe, it is acknowledged that some positions are better than others. One of the Wives, Cheedo, seems most regretful about escaping the Citadel, stating that they had the high life there. Background material implies this is because she is the youngest of the Wives and has not yet fully witnessed Joe's bad side. A deleted scene has a woman offering her newborn son to the Citadel guards to make him a Warboy. When the guard refuses on account of the boy being already covered in tumors and unlikely to survive, she offers herself as a milker. The guard accepts her and she leaves the baby with her daughter and abandons them to their fate. The woman can be seen in the released film as the woman standing in the middle of the War Rig lift as the guards push people off the people clinging to it.

Furiosa and Joe are both disabled, she with her arm and him with his breathing mechanism. She makes no attempt to hide it and remains badass despite her handicap, while Joe is a Non-Action Big Bad who uses armor and robes to hide his deformity from the world and project a false image of physical superiority. Fittingly, Furiosa kills him by latching her robotic arm to his face mask, and throwing it into the wheels of Joe's own humongous car, simultaneously exposing his own deformity to the world and literally shedding her own.

When Nux starts driving, Furiosa and Max see each other and — realizing that neither of them are driving the damn truck itself — run after it, bewildered. Immortan Joe when he realizes that the War Rig is heading back to the Citadel, which is now undefended thanks to his Stern Chase. When his remaining soldiers realize Immortan Joe is dead, it absolutely breaks their hold on the people.

Apocalyptic Log
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_ad22fa80
comment
Apocalyptic Log: Max's Opening Monologue is interspersed with news broadcasts and radio messages of increasing severity, chronicling the downfall of civilization as seen in the previous films. In contrast to The Road Warrior (which placed nuclear war at the center of the apocalypse), Fury Road emphasizes the ecological devastation and depletion that led to said nuclear war. This theme is later evidenced when the Keeper of the Seeds explains that Furiosa already passed "The Green Place" they were searching for, as the land was poisoned and withered away into the swamp they just came out of.

Take a Moment to Catch Your Death: After she manages to cut the chain binding the War Rig and Immortan Joe's car and narrowly avoids slamming into a pile of rocks, Angharad shows a smile of relief while Max gives her a thumbs up. Immediately after that, the door she's holding onto falls off and she's hit by Joe's car.

Face–Heel Turn: Played with: Cheedo, at the last moment during the final chase, begs Rictus to take her on board Immortan Joe's vehicle, to her fellow wives' shock. But she then uses her position to help Furiosa get back into action and ultimately kill Joe. This is more effective because Cheedo had already tried to go back to Joe and the other pursuers before.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Nux comments that he wants to drive a War Rig as a reward for recapturing the Wives. He gets to drive Furiosa's War Rig twice post Heel–Face Turn — once to get it out of the swamp, the other to make a Heroic Sacrifice by crashing it and blocking the path in the canyon so as to cut off the convoy's pursuit. In more general terms, "If I die, I'm gonna die historic on the Fury Road." Yep, Nux gets his wish.

Bottomless Magazines: The movie easily outdoes all the previous films combined in terms of gunshots fired. Conserving ammunition is generally not an issue for most characters — except when Furiosa has Toast inventory all their bullets and they find there are only four for the biggest gun, a sniper rifle. This quickly becomes an issue when they are forced to use it shortly after. The prevalence of guns and ammo compared to the previous films is handwaved by Immortan Joe being allied with the Bullet Farmer.

Epic Fail: Nux's third attempt to recapture the Wives is met with a personal blessing from Immortan Joe himself, dramatic music, and an equally dramatic leap... and results in his dangling chain getting caught in a railing of the War rig, tripping him and making him drop Joe's gun in front of a very unamused Joe. Played for drama when Splendid (who is carrying Immortan Joe's child) dies shortly after this after falling from the War Rig while it's driven by Nux's "blood bag" (Nux having brought Max on the pursuit in the first place). There's simply no way that Joe would forgive Nux for that, which helps fuel Nux's Heel–Face Turn because he has no other option.

Improbable Aiming Skills: After Max misses twice (shooting over a distance of a few hundred metres, through fog, at a moving target only visible by its lights), he hands the rifle over to Furiosa, who manages to bullseye the last sniper rifle bullet they have into the searchlight on the Bullet Farmer's car-tank, blinding the leader in the process. When attacked by the biker gang, both Max and Furiosa prove adept at shooting the bikers out of the air when they're jumping over the War Rig to drop bombs. Max even does it one-handed with an ordinary pistol while driving the Rig.

Imperiled in Pregnancy: Angharad is pregnant, spends all of her screentime in horrible danger, and gets horrifically injured when she slips off the War Rig and is run over by Joe's car. Unlike most examples of this trope, both she and her baby actually do end up dying as a result. The Dag also counts as this trope, although it's not played completely straight, as she's not showing and neither the audience nor any other characters know she's pregnant until they're already (temporarily) out of danger. It never really becomes a plot point like Angharad's pregnancy.

Let's You and Him Fight
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_c3bdfbb9
comment
Max and Furiosa's initial fight. Furiosa is highly trained and experienced at inflicting violence, about as much as Max, and has several huge advantages: she opens the fight with a sneak attack, gets her hands on several weapons, is fighting a guy who is chained to a hostile prisoner and can't use all his limbs at once (this is balanced out by the fact that she lacks one of her arms), has five other women to help her (though they don't do much, they can still pull on his chains to unbalance him), and Max is already dehydrated, exhausted, and injured going in. On top of this, Max doesn't actually want to hurt her, just do the minimum to neutralize her as a threat and then leave, while she goes for lethal force immediately. So how does the fight turn out? Max wins. Easily. Furiosa only ever has a chance when she has a weapon on her (a club, an empty gun, a chain, a hose, a loaded gun), and when that fails, he pretty much immediately overpowers her. The gap in strength between women and even average-sized men is really, really big. Females have 37-68% of muscle strength of males in general.

Mêlée à Trois: The battle between the War Rig, the War Boys, and the Buzzards. The War Boys are trying to take out the Buzzards so they can get Furiosa alive, while the Buzzards and Furiosa each fight off the other two. The canyon battle between the War Rig, the Rock Riders, and the pursuing convoy of War Boys, plus the People Eater and the Bullet Farmer. The Rock Riders are not happy that Furiosa has brought the Citadel invaders into their territory and blow up the canyon to block the progress of Joe and his men before attacking Furiosa for breaking their deal. Meanwhile, Furiosa is just trying to escape the other factions. Furiosa and the Wives versus Max and Nux; Nux seems to believe Max is on his side, while Max would just like him out of the way. A quick one in the final battle when Max jumps onto the Doof Wagon, and knocks off a succession of War Boys while a very irritated Doof Warrior is still on board and fighting both of them for control of his guitar.

Shout-Out
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The spike-covered Volkswagen Beetles that attack the War Rig is a shout-out to the Australian horror film The Cars That Ate Paris. The Buzzards themselves, the drivers of said cars, look a lot like Star Wars's sand people. The Dag calls Immortan Joe a "smeg". The Bullet Farmer promises "just one angry shot, for Furiosa!", a possible reference to the Australian war movie The Odd Angry Shot. One from the tie-in comic: When Max goes to rescue Glory, there's a poster for Dredd in the background. In a recursive shout-out, the film has a lot of similarities to the ReBoot episode "Bad Bob", which revolves around a post-apocalyptic racing game inspired by The Road Warrior, including the metal-heavy soundtrack and turning the big rig around and returning to the starting point. Production designer Brendan McCarthy worked on both and was in fact responsible for getting George Miller interested in continuing the Mad Max franchise when he showed him a tape of the episode.

The War Boys themselves are nothing but Immortan Joe's "Battle Fodder" — not human anymore, but merely mindless weapons in the service of Joe's empire. Nux's service is decried as no different from the armies which caused the apocalypse. And him changing sides is the turning point in the battle.

Hollywood Darkness: Exaggerated Trope. In most visual media, the "blue filter = night" trope generally works because we're used to it at this point, but like everything else in this movie, it's played way over the top by tinting everything electric blue (except for conspicuously orange flames, and a spotlight on the Doof Warrior).

No Name Given: Max, from Furiosa's point of view. He brushes off questions about his name and doesn't reveal it until the end when Furiosa is critically injured. Most of the Wives's names, except Angharad and Cheedo, aren't stated in the movie, making them this to the viewer (until the credits, that is).

Escape Route Surprise: Max's first escape attempt from the Citadel is foiled when he runs through the caves and out a door where he suddenly finds himself at the edge of a cliff high above the ground. He jumps out and latches onto a swinging hook, but he keeps swinging back toward the War Boys and they manage to pull him back into the tunnel.

Also justified in that the Citadel, Bullet Farm, and Gas Town are in close proximity to one another — each one is reliant on the resources that the other two stockpile or produce.

Max.note This is a Nod to Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, where Max spent half the film threatening the Gyrocopter Pilot with an (unbeknownst to him or the audience) empty shotgun. And when he finally did find a shell for the gun, it was a dud.

Terminally Dependent Society: The Citadel, Gastown and the Bullet Farm are all dependent on the water in the citadel's underground aquifer. While Immortan Joe keeps control of his army of War Boys through Cult of Personality, he uses the much more mundane method of rationing the supply of water to control the unwashed mutated masses. He also makes a point of keeping the outgoing water just beneath subsistence level, despite sitting on enough water to keep the population well-hydrated for many decades.

Despair Event Horizon: Max, of course, is waaaaay past his.

Furiosa encounters one when she learns that the Green Place long ago turned to a poison bog. Finally, at the very end of the movie, the Citadel's response to seeing Immortan's faceless body is to immediately surrender and declare Furiosa their new leader.

Changed My Mind, Kid: An interesting variation. Furiosa offers Max to come with her group in hopes of finding something across the salt flats, but Max wants to make his own way. . . since pretty much everyone knows this is likely to amount to little more than prolonged suicide, Furiosa lets Max go without complaint (and with a fair share of the supplies). Max then decides to rejoin Furiosa's group after they've set off across the salt plains, and with a plan to seize the Citadel to boot. . . still probably suicide, but if they pull it off there's definite hope.

Animal Motifs: Subtly done with the War Rig to make it feel like an ancient living creature.

We Need a Distraction: Nux disables the hydraulics on the fuel pod, correctly assuming that Wives wouldn't be the ones sent to repair it. While Max is busy reattaching the hose, Nux sneaks under the rig through the hidden passage and gets into the cab. He hadn't exactly thought his plan out past that, though, so the Wives toss him right back out.

Another moment for Max comes in his brawl with Furiosa where, despite being dehydrated, partially exsanguinated, barely conscious, and having just recovered from a car crash, he still manages to beat Furiosa in hand-to-hand combat — and deliberately blows three precious bullets on warning shots instead of just shooting her in the head, the first major indicator — both to the other characters and the audience — that despite what horribly shell-shocked Max is, he's still a good man who doesn't kill people if he can possibly avoid it.

Hate Sink: Immortan Joe is a post-apocalyptic cult leader who hoards water at the expense of his people. He brainwashes the men in his thrall to fight and die for him while keeping the women as sex slaves. When several of these women escape his clutches, Joe leads a war party to hunt them down. He eventually manages to catch his prey but has grown so frustrated with the hunt that he decides to kill them all.

Only a Flesh Wound: Averted with Angharad. Max accidentally grazes her leg with a bullet when threatening her, and while at first it seems like she's fine except for the blood, later the wound on her leg causes major problems for the group and contributes to her slipping from the War Rig which leads to her death.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Immortan Joe sends Furiosa on a routine run to the Bullet Farm and Gas Town in order to pick up (obviously) bullets and gas. When she turns off the road heading east, his son keeping the lookout realizes something is odd and calls Immortan over, who immediately realizes something is seriously wrong and runs to his vault. Yup, his harem has been stolen. This is the only time we see Joe visibly express anger.

Another Acceptable Break from Reality is the Reckless Gun Usage that should have resulted in several ruptured eardrums, a notable example being when Max fired a handgun at point-blank range three times near Furiosa's head, and when Furiosa fired her sniper rifle while using Max's shoulder to keep the barrel steady. The end of the barrel was right in front of his cheek. Max does suffer brief tinnitus, but in reality it would have been much worse.

All of the villain's deaths are ironic: The Bullet Farmer, who hoards munitions, is presumably either shot or blown up, the morbidly obese People Eater, who uses human beings as commodities, is used as a literal meat shield, and Joe, who leads a cult of muscle-car worshippers, is killed when Furiosa latches his mask to the wheels of his own humongous car.

Easily Forgiven: Max, Furiosa, and the Wives seem to forgive Nux rather quickly for, respectively, using him as a bloodbag and strapping him to his car, attempting to choke her with his chain, and trying to recapture them and take them back to their hated "husband". Justified, though, in that they really don't have time to hold grudges, the Wives in particular recognize him to be just as much a victim as they were (especially Capable, who took pity on him and vouches for him when he comes to their help), and he proves himself to be useful and faithful (by the time he attempts to pull the War Rig out of the mud by tying the winch around the tree, they have completely foregone holding him at gunpoint).

No Peripheral Vision: Justified example. In the first battles, Furiosa ruthlessly rams anything off the road that gets near her. During the storm, a piece of debris shatters her side view mirror and gives Nux an opening to overtake her. Later on, she is far less able to use the massive rig itself as a weapon, with the notable exception of squashing the Interceptor against the People Eater's rig.

With Us or Against Us: When Angharad asks Nux "Who killed the world?", she's not just decrying him as her enemy for serving Immortan Joe; she's decrying everything Joe stands for, all who believe as he does, and all who support him. She's arguing that behavior like Joe's — an ideology of glorifying endless war, monopolization of resources by a small elite, the domination and exploitation of the weak by the strong — is what killed the world, and if you participate in continuing that behavior, you bear some moral responsibility.

Justified because he knew that he'd failed Joe one time too many, and too spectacularly, and thus there was no place left for him with the cult.

Practical Effects: The vast majority of the film is done through real props, actual stunts, and working cars. That includes the guitar guy playing their anthem, all the jumps from vehicle to vehicle, flamethrowers, people on bending poles, etc. Most of the CGI is digital composition putting these races into narrow canyons, set extensions, the dust storm scene, and the internal mechanisms of Furiosa's replacement arm. This makes it look and feel very similar to the first three films, which were made before the CGI era.

Evil Is Hammy: All of the villains in the movie are ridiculously over-the-top and loud and all the heroes are much more stoic and naturalistic (Max and Furiosa in particular). The warlords, especially Joe, use this in conjunction with their Conspicuous Consumption to present a larger-than-life image of themselves to further impress their followers and retain their loyalty. The War Boys in turn work themselves into a frenzy to commit acts of valor. This is so omnipresent in War Boy culture it's almost a plot point — notably, Nux loses this trait after his Heel–Face Turn.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Mad Max: Fury Road / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: This is averted with Furiosa (who gets progressively more beat up as the film goes on) and Toast (whose face stays bloody after she gets pistol-whipped), but played extremely straight when Angharad falls off the War Rig — even though she is fatally wounded, her body shows almost no visible damage. Considering she was run over by a monster truck and had an emergency c-section performed on her while still alive, that's probably a good thing. Averted extra-hard when Furiosa gets stabbed, even though the wound isn't actually on her face, she quickly turns a deathly shade of ghost-pale grey-white (so pale she makes The Dag look darker) as the blood drains to her wound and her eyes turn bloodshot, in addition to the blood spilled from her lips.

comment
Personhood vs Property. At the start of the film, Max is so traumatized by his past that he no longer considers himself a person (but an animal "reduced to a single emotion"), and only cares about his stuff (his car, jacket, boots, etc), but by helping Furiosa and the Wives he learns to recognize their humanity and rediscover his own. Furiosa and the Wives also rebel against being Immortan Joe's literal property ("We are not things!"), and overthrow Joe's tyranny and take back the Citadel for the people that he had literally branded as his personal property). Nux also learns to see his "blood bag" and Joe's "stuff—prized breeders" as people (though he was never malicious about it), and become the person that Joe's brainwashing prevented him from growing into, and died as himself rather than Brainwashed and Crazy Cannon Fodder.

Averted extra-hard when Furiosa gets stabbed, even though the wound isn't actually on her face, she quickly turns a deathly shade of ghost-pale grey-white (so pale she makes The Dag look darker) as the blood drains to her wound and her eyes turn bloodshot, in addition to the blood spilled from her lips.
