10 Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

10. Immortan Joe Still Has One Remaining Son - Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road ends with evil cult leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) being killed and his hold over the citizens of the Citadel finally relinquished, as the locale's water supply is made freely available to anyone who needs it.

It's a triumphant, fist-pumping ending, except for the fact that it's easy to overlook one thing: Joe still has one surviving son in the mix.

Though we see several of Joe's heirs perish throughout the film, in the final scene one of them still remains - the physically disabled Corpus Colossus (Quentin Kenihan).

While Corpus gets virtually no character development in the film itself, the peripheral Fury Road comic book series fleshes him out considerably, revealing him to be a fiercely intelligent strategist.

More to the point, the comic confirms that after the events of the movie, Corpus follows in his father's footsteps and strangulates the Citadel's water supply, fearing that freely giving water away to every thirsty person would make them look weak.

And so, the cycle begins again.
