FAQs

Was Furiosa a breeder? ›

When she sees an opportunity to be traded to crazed ruler Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme), she takes it just to spite Dementus, though she quickly finds out that it's not much of upgrade to be a breeder for Joe. Furiosa quickly ditches the breeder life and takes up as a mechanic on Joe's many armored vehicles.

It was known that Furiosa would explain what happened to Furiosa's left arm. The movie shows that Furiosa severely injures her arm when it gets pinched between her car and Dementus' truck. She is then chained up with her left arm after she is captured by the Mad Max villain and his biker gang.

Eventually, Furiosa ends up in Immortan Joe's Citadel. Expect constant, intense violence, including explosions, dismemberment, torture, references to sexual violence, and lots of warring and death. Cannibals are shown with cuts of bodies, and people are shot with guns and stabbed with arrows.

'Mad Max: The Wasteland' Is Merely Just A Title At This Point. After Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) cemented Dementus' (Chris Hemsworth) fate in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the end credits scenes for the film didn't necessarily indicate that another Mad Max adventure was on the way.

In an interview, Charlize Theron revealed that Furiosa was originally supposed to be another one of Immortan Joe's wives, but was infertile: "[George Miller and I] talked about backstory, about how she ended up with no arm and that she was discarded. She couldn't breed, and that was all that she was good for.

Furiosa's anguished, barely heard plea to Max: "Take them... home...", whispered with the last effort as she lies dying. She's sure she's gonna die (and she would have, were it not for Max being a universal donor) and still she does all she can to ensure the Wives will reach their home.

In Furi Road she said she has counted 7000 days between her abduction and her return, which is roughly 19 years. She was kidnapped around 11-13 based on Ayla Browne's (young Furiosa) age. Therefore that would mean she is between 30 and 32.

Violence & Gore (22) There are bloody shootings, stabbings and beatings. A man has his nipples ripped off. Blood squirts out.

It's the moment that ties the movie together. The moment in Mad Max: Fury Road when Furiosa (Charlize Theron) realizes that the home she was taken from, the home she's been racing toward, is gone. Upon learning this information, she stumbles across the desert and screams.

Then there was the concern about the trailer's “bad CGI.” Hoo-boy, let's talk about the CGI. Furiosa is sick with it. Every bit of landscape looks visually “sweetened,” and therefore none of it looks like real desert outback, which is terrifying terrain that did so much to make early Mad Max films memorable.

Will Mel Gibson play Mad Max again? ›

In preparation for the prequel movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller was asked in an interview with Jake's Takes about bringing Mel Gibson back in a Mad Max movie as an older version of his character. Miller explained he doesn't have a story that features an older character, so there's no room for Gibson's return.

Hardy only appears in the film via recycled footage taken from Fury Road and, after watching the film, fans questioned whether the actor, who uses a Bugs Bunny-style voice in new film The Bikeriders, would return as Max in a mooted future installment.

Some of those who failed to give birth to viable children three times, were then barred from the "luxuries" and "high-life" that Joe provided them in return for their reproductive capabilities.
