A former Royal Shakespeare Company actor who settled in Australia co-starred in my Man From Hong Kong, and achieved world wide recognition as the Toecutter in Mad Max, and Immortan Joe in Mad Max-Fury Road.” Director, and friend, Bryan Threnchard-Smith announced the news on his Facebook page: “I am sad to report that our friend Hugh Keays-Byrne passed away in hospital yesterday.
MAD MAX TOECUTTER MOVIE
As such, it makes sense for Furiosa to reveal Mad Max’s worst villain wasn’t seen as a monster at first.( WKRG/ BIKER DAD)– The actor who played evil biker gang leader “Toecutter” in the movie Mad Max has died at 73. In both cases, the end of the world reshapes their lives and leaves them with a lifetime of experience enforcing law and order in a now-lawless world. In both cases, these civilians have positions of authority that they could abuse if they choose to. It is the Mad Max franchise's most revisited central story and Immortan Joe’s origins as a military general are not that different from Max’s work as a police officer. This idea, that seemingly good people can commit awful acts, is the right one for the franchise to explore. In an early script draft, the villain of The Road Warrior was revealed to be Max’s partner Goose from Mad Max, badly burned by an encounter with Toecutter’s gang and driven mad by vengeance.
MAD MAX TOECUTTER SERIES
Mad Max’s original story depicted a seemingly normal man driven to torture and murder by the breakdown of the society around him, and the series has revisited this idea repeatedly in the sequels. However, this is exactly the purpose of the Mad Max franchise, and the fact that moral complexity may upset viewers is no reason to avoid this thorny topic. It would be very risky for Furiosa to suggest that Immortan Joe wasn’t always evil after the events of Fury Road.
Eventually, the return of Fury Road’s Bullet Farmer could signify the monster that Immortan Joe will eventually become. On a larger scale, Immortan Joe’s backstory could see the character grow gradually more morally ambiguous as Dementus escalates his attacks on the Citadel. However, when Toecutter and company kill his wife and child, Max spends the rest of the movie murdering them one by one. When Toecutter’s murderous biker gang repeatedly threatens, harasses, and attacks him, Max takes the high road and diligently avoids resorting to violence. This would reflect the story of 1979’s original Mad Max, wherein Max Rockatansky is introduced as a likable rookie cop. In the process, Furiosa could reveal that this younger version of Immortan Joe was originally the lesser of two evils. If Furiosa reveals Immortan Joe’s backstory, the spinoff could make the character’s motivations more complex than they were in both Fury Road and the tie-in comics. However, it is worth noting that Furiosa could easily change this backstory to offer a more nuanced version of Immortan Joe. In these comics, Immortan Joe was a corrupt military man who used the power vacuum during the downfall of civilization to start a ruthless fascist militia.
While the official Fury Road tie-in comic books offer little to supplement Furiosa's narrative, they do offer a backstory for Immortan Joe.
