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

4. There's Some Black Market Organ Stuff Going On

What's everybody want with this Max fella, anyway? We mean, maybe they saw Tom Hardy in Bronson and figured they would like to break themselves off a piece of that - very understandable - but considering this is the post-apocalypse, we doubt they even have Netflix anymore. Even the physical discs. We're also a little shaky on whether this film actually is supposed to be set in between Mad Max and The Road Warrior, since George Miller has given us some conflicting information. Is this a side-quel or a reboot? Because if it's the former, it could be that Max's reputation for being a totally insane murderer of marauders might have spread, and so everybody wants to be the one who kills him. That's some mad street cred right there. Or er desert cred. That certainly seems to be the way Immortan Joe and co are treating him, tying him to the front of their convoy like a warning to all comers. When it comes to those aforementioned mysterious pale dudes, however, we're a little less certain. One of the most hardcore moments from the Fury Road trailer is when said dudes - who are bald, too, which is reminding us a little of the "vampires" form I Am Legend - have got Max restrained, gagged and laid face down on what looks like a crude operating table. Whilst everyone else holds him down one of these slaphead goths begins inking Tom Hardy's back, and sadly not with a picture of his own face. Instead their branding of the Road Warrior seems to be all about his body. Or what's in it, anyway. It looks like the checklist you go through when signing up for an organ donor card, letting the NHS know which of your vital guts can be shipped off to a lucky so-and-so once you cark it. Scrawled across Max's spine are such phrases as "good eyes", "heals fast", "genitals intact," "multiple scars," and the headline "O-NEGATIVE HI-OCTANE UNIVERSAL DONOR". We're willing to be these guys are planning on selling these primo organs to some less-than-legit surgeons, and won't wait until Max is dead to do it. Either that or they're like the ingredients on a ready meal; John Howard is down as playing a character called "The People Eater"...
