Mad Max: Fury Road - 8 Things We Learned From The Trailer

5. Hugh Keays-Byrne Looks Bloody Terrifying

Besides a role in Farscape (you'll always be Grunchlk in our minds and in our hearts, Hugh), this Indian-born characters actor is best remembered for his supporting role in the first Mad Max movie. There Keays-Byrne played Toecutter, the leader of a motorcycle gang called The Acolytes who had some beautiful Simon le Bon-style feathered hair, but whom engaged in some thoroughly un-Duran Duran-like activities. It doesn't look like he'll be any better in Mad Max: Fury Road where he plays a character called Immortan Joe who - and we don't think this is going out on a limb - looks like a similarly bad dude. Because he wears a nightmarish skull mask over what looks like a pretty grotesque face in its own right. We've yet to get word on whether there will be a main antagonist in Fury Road, so we won't make any spurious claims that Immortan Joe is definitely the one to be causing Max trouble in this film. He does seem to be in charge of the convoy that makes up the large bulk of the trailer, though, having captured both Tom Hardy and a harem of beautiful women including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Zoë Kravitz. These marauders are a little different from the previous films, however, looking a little more straightforward, grubby punk than the weird S&M leather get-ups the bad guys wore in The Road Warrior. What we're even less sure about is what these pale dudes are about. Where the trailer opens with Max getting run off the road and, for the rest of it, looks like he's still the captive of those same gutter punks that Immortan Joe appears to be leading, there are sections where he's being hounded by a bunch of pale, topless dudes. What's the deal with them? Our guess is that this time Rockatansky finds himself caught between rival gangs, Yojimbo-style, based on the two conflicting groups who both seem to possess him at different times, and that bit where the guys on sticks are nabbing off with Joe's own kidnapped "wives".
