15 WTF Moments From Mad Max: Fury Road

Guitar flamethrower dude = best movie character ever?

Almost thirty years after Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome hit cinemas and a whole three years after it began shooting, Mad Max: Fury Road has finally been unleashed upon audiences, and what a trip it is. The film has been earning mind-bogglingly effusive reviews from critics too, many of whom deem it to be one of the greatest action movies ever made, and easily the best entry into the much-loved franchise. Watching the final product, it's easy to see why there's so much love to go around: George Miller has crafted a jaw-dropping feat of (mostly) practical vehicular mayhem, a testament to what can be done with a crazy idea, $150 million dollars, some awesome actors and surely the best stunt team known to man. Most crucially, he's made a movie that slots in superbly well with the previous movies in the series, even if filmmaking has of course moved on substantially since then. It has the brutal violence, the humanity, and the quirky weirdness which defines the original three movies. In fact, "weird" isn't really a satisfying descriptor: this is quite possibly the most WTF movie ever made for this size price tag. From the sheer insanity of the beautiful action sequences to gut-wrenching deaths, unexpected twists and all the eccentricities in between, here are 15 WTF moments from Mad Max: Fury Road. Naturally spoilers will follow, so if you haven't seen the movie yet, why not!?
