** And the big bad is played by the big bad from the first movie, and wears a mask like the big bad from the second movie (whose gigantic nearnakedness is taken up by the big bad's {{Dragon}}).

* HeAlsoDid: It's a bit of a minor MemeticMutation to bring up the fact that George Miller's most recent films before this one were of all things ''Film/HappyFeet'' and ''Film/{{Babe}}''.

** The Vulvalini Keeper of the Seeds is [[Series.{{Farscape}} Utu-Noranti Pralatong]].

* HiddenDepths: In a bit of an on-set role-reversal, Nicholas Hoult [[http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-03-22/nicholas-hoult-on-jennifer-lawrence-ditching-after-parties--and-knitting learned how to knit from a makeup artist]] during the seven-month shoot in Namibia, and the older actresses playing the Vulvalini [[http://www.npr.org/2015/05/15/406731120/the-women-pull-no-punches-in-fiery-feminist-mad-max did their own stunts]].

** Max gets a metal restraint mask chained onto his face for a good portion of the first act, which resembles his role as Bane in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. Nux’s steering wheel also bears a doll head wearing what superficially resembles Bane’s mask.

--> '''Jaffer:''' When this role came along, I thought well, I won't get another chance like this before I die, and that's why I took it. It was absolutely wonderful.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** In the Brazilian Dub, Guilherme Briggs of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' fame dubs Tom Hardy's character. [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Again]].

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Hugh Keays-Byrne plays the violent, murderous Immortan Joe but interviews show that Keays-Byrne is a very humble old fellow who seems really grateful to have such a big role in a movie so long after playing Toe Cutter.
** A scene in a behind-the-scenes clip shows him walking in full costume while stuntmen (also in full costume) stand on the trailer used to transport the screen-used cars. He bellows "You look amazing!", and they respond with the Warboy salute.

* ActorAllusion: BigBad Immortan Joe in ''Fury Road'' is a charismatic cult-leader-like bruiser who wears a scary mask that hides his disfigurement and keeps him alive, and is gruesomely ripped off towards the end. Not unlike one of the [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises best-known roles]] of the film's new Max, Creator/TomHardy.
** And of course, Max himself gets a metal restraint mask chained onto his face for a good portion of the first act. And Nux’s steering wheel bears a doll head wearing what superficially resembles Bane’s mask.
