20 Things You Somehow Missed In Mad Max: Fury Road
6. There's A Sneaky Star Wars Easter Egg
In the movie's climactic chase sequence, one of the War Rig's engines breaks down, accompanied by an incredibly distinctive and oddly memorable powering-down sound effect.
If you're wondering where you've heard this before, it's the very same effect used in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back when the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive malfunctions.
While countless movies have recycled Star Wars' innovative sound effects over the years, at least in this case it's part of a busy enough sound mix that it doesn't draw excess attention to itself. Better this than the Wilhelm scream, at least.
