At the climax of Fury Road, Hugh Keays-Byrne’s Immortan Joe is killed by Furiosa in a scene inspired by the original Mad Max villain Toecutter's gruesome demise. This ties Hardy’s new version to the original Mad Max, while also foreshadowing Fury Road’s ending. Keays-Byrne’s Toecutter is killed near the close of the original Mad Max and the decision to reference this moment allows Fury Road to show the title character is still haunted by the bloody events of the first movie. The villain’s death is included in Max’s nightmare to underline that, despite his recasting, this is the same Max as always. That’s a very brief insert shot lifted from the original Mad Max, depicting Toecutter’s gory fate. During the frantic cutting of Max’s Fury Road dream sequence, the last shot viewers can see is a glimpse of eyes popping out of a head. This was not the only appearance that Toecutter made in Fury Road, though, as noted by some eagle-eyed fans.
For example, the late Hugh Keays-Byrne returned to the Mad Max series to play Fury Road’s primary villain Immortan Joe, decades after he played the original Mad Max’s antagonist, Toecutter. However, despite this increased pace and Max's new face, 2015’s Fury Road had plenty in common with earlier installments.

When the series returned in 2015, Mad Max was recast as Tom Hardy and the fast-paced action was more violent than ever. Related: Mad Max: How Beyond Thunderdome Foreshadowed Furiosa’s Story The success of The Road Warrior soon led to a third movie, Beyond Thunderdome, before creator George Miller’s Mad Max franchise went on an extended hiatus for thirty years. While the original was a grounded thriller, The Road Warrior was a much more over-the-top dystopian sci-fi action movie. Some teaser photos online already hint at some pretty damn cool vehicle designs, and we really hope that it stays true to the series first two film's gritty roots and gives us some awesome Road Warrior-style action.A low-budget effort, Mad Max was set in the near future to save on production costs and soon earned a sequel that doubled down on its sci-fi elements. Which brings up to the the new film in the works, 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road, which stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. As the title indicates, most of the action takes place inside a large jungle gym style arena called the Thunderdome and featured a character Blaster, whom we're told, has the mind of a child. The third film - and one we can all agree was the weakest link in the series - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was released in 1985, but the film really didn't feature any awesome motorcycles or sweet cars like the past films. A props buyer for The Road Warrior purchased the sidecar, removed the fiberglass body and fitted a metal platform. The sidecar originally belonged to Allan Levinson from Sydney, Australia who had listed it for sale in 1981 because he couldn’t get used to how it rode alongside his Yamaha 650 Special.
