Top 20 list of the maddest characters in Mad Max: Part 1 of 2

Published

on

The George Miller post-apocalyptic wasteland is no place for the sane. It truly belongs to the mad. We made a two-part list of our favorite characters in the world of Mad Max, from the insane to the downright mad.

20. Dr. Dealgood (Edwin Hodgeman) – The Michael Buffer meets Ed Sullivan of Bartertown was the mouth of the people. A big mouth. He liked being front and center despite those embarrassing shoulder pads. This sleazy guy seems like someone who enjoys the misery of others, especially if it means putting him front and center in front of a crowd and making an extra dollar here and there. “Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls… dyin’ time is here!”

19. The Toadie (Max Phipps) – The Toadie is Lord Humungus’s right hand man and is entrusted with the pivotal role of announcing Humungus at gatherings and soon to be massacres. His job prior to the apocalypse may have been spent announcing WWF wrestlers as they came into the ring. The Toadie has one objective be brutal, serve his master and come up with some damned good catch phrases.

18. The Feral Kid (Emil Minty) The center and narrator of “The Road Warrior,” this kid spends his time exploring hidden tunnels of the wasteland. Instead of seeing Max as a crazy drifter he sees him as an only hope. The kid is near fearless… well, that is until he is faced with a maniacal marauder with a red mohawk.

17. Nightrider (Vincent Gil) Not only does this guy introduce us to the world of baddies in the first entry of “Mad Max,” he is also the spark that leads Max to his destiny of becoming a warrior of the wasteland. For godsake he is a fuel injected suicide machine, he is a rocka, he is a roll, and an out of controlla, he is the chosen one, he is the NIGHTRIDER!!!

16. The Organic Mechanic (Angus Sampson) The Citadel “doctor” works on patients like they were vehicles needing oil changes or strut replacement. The Organic Mechanic is an important member of Immortan Joe’s gang since he is the only one that can do a proper patch up job on a downed “blood bag,” and could be the man behind Immortan Joe’s continued longevity despite clearly falling apart. mad-max-beyond-thunderdome

15. Ironbar  (Angry Anderson) – Ironbar was a thug that took pleasure in the dirty dealings of Bartertown. He is Aunty Entity’s right hand man. His ruthless demeanor makes him one of the more dangerous people in “Beyond Thunderdome.” Oh yea, and the fact that he has a freaking creepy porcelain mask complete with a black wig attached to his back for company, helps to make him one of the creepier bastards in the wasteland.

14. Rictus Erectus (Nathan Jones) This hulking giant is Immortan Joe’s favorite son. Rictus will do anything in order to keep his dad proud. While all that sounds sweet on the surface, when you figure killing and making war is the only way to keep his dad happy you might discover it isn’t the sweetest thing in the world. I guess its all about perspective. In the wasteland he might get the best son of the year award.

13. Aunty Enitity (Tina Turner) This is the mad valkyrie that makes the laws of Bartertown and is behind clever laws like “two men enter, one man leaves” and “bust a deal, face the wheel.” I can only be certain that she has a entire law book that reads like a Dr. Seuss of the wasteland but we are only privy to a couple in “Beyond Thunderdome.” Aunty will stop at nothing to gain complete control over Bartertown even if that means breaking her own Suessical laws from time to time and murdering a few people here and there.

Road-Warrior-Wez

12. Wez – (Vernon Wells) – One of the fiercest and oddest people of the wasteland. This red mowhawked devil is enlisted in Lord Humungus’s tribe. He roams the empty roads looking for things to scavage and people to murder. In his free time he enjoys climbing onto the grills of big rigs whilst scaring small children to death and seeking revenge on people who hurt his “friend” The Golden Youth.It’s also rumored that he will show up to and destroy high school parties in a cross over John Hughes films.

11. The Bullet Farmer (Richard Carter) Riding around in a car made to look like a tank dubbed “The Peacemaker” is awesome enough. But this crazy war titan from Bullet Farm also dawns bullet lined Samurai inspired gear when marching into war. He doesn’t sweat the small stuff and doesn’t see the importance in Immortan Joe’s plight but he rolls with it anyways. The chance to put a bullet in someone makes it worth every second of his time.

Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for the second part of our list, where we reveal the maddest bastard in all the wasteland!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
