20 Things You Somehow Missed In Mad Max: Fury Road

3. The Secret "Product Placement" For Heckler & Koch Guns

Mad Max Fury Road
Warner Bros.

Who can forget the riotous sequence where Joe's ally the Bullet Farmer (Richard Carter) assaults the War Rig, even continuing to do so after he ends up blinded by Furiosa?

The Bullet Farmer hilariously fires his akimbo machine-guns at the rig while referring to himself as the "scales of justice" and the "conductor of the choir of death," before maniacally screaming, "Sing brother Heckler! Sing brother Koch!"

If you're wondering quite what he's bleating on about, the Bullet Farmer is actually dropping a sneaky piece of product placement, given that Heckler & Koch is a real-life German gun manufacturer.

Granted, a wounded, raving maniac wielding duel-MGs might not be the most flattering endorsement for the brand, but it's still pretty hilarious that Miller got this into the film without any legal ramifications.
