In anticipation of the film’s arrival on home video, Warner Bros. recently released three deleted scenes from Fury Road all in one handy video. The first finds Max and Imperator Furiosa preparing to turn around and go back to Immortan Joe’s base, a quiet moment before a storm of violence and destruction. The second provides a glimpse into the world of the castaways, with a new mother offering up her baby to be a WarBoy and, failing that, herself as someone to provide milk to the army. Lastly, the most revealing scene details what became of the old woman who helped the brides escape and features Immortan’s son revving up the crowd to pursue Imperator. All in all these aren’t revelatory scenes that dramatically change the underlying story or metaphors of Mad Max: Fury Road, but instead just moments that provide extra time with characters audiences have grown to love and a better understanding of the horrible, harsh world in which they live. So in other words, these deleted scenes are slightly above “MEDIOCRE!”
[Fair warning: There is an uncovered breast in one of the scenes, and a naked baby is also used. So the video may be considered NSFW assuming you don’t work in a doomed hellscape dystopia.]
