In some of Max's flashbacks we see a child running from oncoming vehicles, and the begining of them being run down. Also in a deleted scene available in special features a mother tosses her baby aside, but because they did not complete the editing on that scene before it was cut, it is very clearly a doll.
No, but it's worth mentioning that Max' capture at the start of the movie might make viewers uncomfortable as it's portrayed and shot like it's a rape scene. Max is gagged, hands tied in front of him, his back exposed while a group of War Boys keep him in place while one forcefully inks his back.
Many characters are run over by cars big enough to crush them, although this is never explicitly shown on screen. I found Angharrad's incident a bit triggering though
A lot of the extras im the Citadel are/play amputees, and one of the main characters is missing a forearm. No amputation happening during the movie though.
No, but the titular character does have a scene where he is submerged in sand and struggles to breathe, though the latter is due to a bubble in his IV rather than suffocation.
One minor character, the Bullet Farmer, has bullets for teeth, which he removes to use as ammunition. Other characters are hit in the face and mouth, causing them to bleed.
While not shown in detail, the Bullet Farmer's eyes are badly injured and blinded by a gunshot. We see blood trickling from his eyes, and the next time we see him his eyes are bandaged over.
At the beginning, the main character gets captured by the bad guys and tied up to be branded.
Later on, he also is used as a "blood bag" and gets muzzled.
Some very sudden and jumpy flashes into angry ghost hallucination, but no leadup of quiet dread; the jumps are in the middle of already noisy and high stress situations.
Subverted. Scantily clad women bathing and drinking, but the armed man watching them is more interested in the water and there is neither violence nor any slow pans of the women's bodies.
No, the only water shown is the water at the Citadel rushing down like a waterfall and when the Wives wash themselves outside of the War Rig via a waterhose.
The Organic Mechanic runs his operation like a hospital, complete with testing equipment, medicine, and IVs. It takes place in a cave instead of a hospital, but I think it counts
One of the wives has scars on her face and arm that was revealed in behind the scenes information to be from self harm. This does not occur on screen nor is it ever mentioned in the film.
Max' first attempt to escape from the War Boys is mainly shot in tight corridors inside a cave. Later on, there are a few scenes on the War Rig where people have to move in tight and narrow spaces while the Rig drives at high speed.
A person who has already been shot with arrows through the head and chest kills his attackers by leaping onto their vehicle with explosives. Another character flips a vehicle they are driving to ensure the escape of the protagonists.
A scene at the beginning of the movie depicts Max running from his captors. While not traditionally shakey cam, frames were intentionally cut to create a greater sense of urgency in the viewer to demonstrate Max's anxiety and could possibly be anxiety inducing.
Explicit misogyny through actions, more often than words. In this lawless world, women are used as breeding stock and the War Boys consume "Mother's Milk", taken from imprisoned women. Immortan Joe treats his "Wives" as his property.
This film is a rare instance of a story being told of misogynists by non-misogynists. While certain characters (Immortan Joe mainly) sexualize the wives, the film itself - as told through framing, cinematography, themes, etc - does not. And while there are sexual themes, there are no sexual scenes whatsoever.
practically the entire movie is a prolonged car chase, and as such screeching of tires and honking of horns feature extensively. many cars are destroyed or otherwise damaged in a variety of different ways, i.e. combustion.
Nuclear test footage is briefly shown in the introduction, while narration mentions a "thermonuclear skirmish." It is implied that the post-apocalyptic world of the film was at least partially caused by nuclear war.
