    The Doof Warrior rocks open the gates of Valhalla and warns the dead of the arrival of War Boys.

    The Doof Wagon and guitarist were the equivalent of an army's war trumpets.

    i mean the appropriate time is when they say witness him

    you can tell when it happens because it's when a war boy is about to do/is doing something awesome

    there was nothing in this movie that tied to the others besides:

    Max exists, he's Mad
    Australia is now a nuclear wasteland.

    oh; that's pretty cool too

    I don't actually think Doof is Jar Jar.

    He was pretty cool for a couple scenes. But maybe Max didn't need to
    fight him in front of all the amps tho

    He didn't really seem to be fighting the Doof Warrior so much as he was stealing the guitar to use as a weapon for a few moments. I say this only because Doof seemed like he was just trying to get the guitar back. In fact, the instant the guitar fell back into his hands he started playing again.

    I would think not wanting to die would be the biggest morale boost possible

    I dunno exactly, but they had musical war implements throughout history so they must've been for some reason. Morale? Get your blood pumping? Motivate the troops?

    Musical instruments have been used to convey orders.

    However, there is often a ritualistic element to them.

    I think to signal a lot of people over a large amount of land in an era before radios? Something like that, right? Keep cohesion going strong within a military unit.

    I've heard that they gradually fell out of use with the advent of accurate ranged warfare, which required cold rather than hot blood.

    Aside from being an unfunny sack of shit, Jar Jar is responsible for the death of millions

    Jar Jar Binks is the Vidkun Quisling of the Star Wars universe.

    If anything, the movie could have used more Doof.

    I could have sat there watching that dude do his thing all day.

    Favorite Mad Max vehicle design: the tank car the bullet farmer drives.

    Also the spikey beetle-looking cars those weird Russians were rocking

    Alright I'm in the theatre; literally the only person here

    For Mad Max? If so you should totally just yell WITNESS HIM at the screen at the appropriate times.

    you'll know when

    I didn't know when.

    As someone who had never seen a movie in the Mad Max universe, I'm pretty sure that a significant portion of the movie passed right over my head and would have made for an even more entertaining movie if I had known them.

    Like were those three big baddies people I should have known? Or the crow people?

    Regardless it was pretty well explained, and even if I did miss a bunch of stuff, I don't -feel- like I did.

    The right time to say it is when
    Nux whispers "witness me" at the end.

    As an ex-infantryman, yeah music and calls/returns is a big deal for getting pumped up.

    I kind of thought it was a shame that none of the hedgehogs had a martyr function where they blow themselves up and spike everything around them.

    But then I guess the Russians were more bandits than zealots.

    I want several commentary tracks on the movie

    1 of George Miller, Tom Hardy, and Charlize Theron

    1 of George Miller, the stunt coordinators, and his wife who edited it

    and 1 of Edgar Wright and some of his friends just watching the movie going "FUCK YES" whenever something cool happens

    Loved the harpoon cars dropping plows behind them for extra drag. Those poor suspensions.

    There needs to be a commentary track dedicated to going over the stunts.

    I'm also hoping for a lengthy "making of" on the Blu Ray

    Black and white will be nifty but that movie pops so much in color I can't see it being an improvement at all.

    Yeah.

    Far as we could tell, it happened in the eighties or some shit.

    It's just no-one noticed until, like, last week. We just assumed it was Austrailia being Australian.

    Anticipating death would probably make you nervous as fuck. Awesome music gets you pumped up on adrenaline before you even get into battle.

    Music during a battle is also a great way to drown out screams, idle chatter, run for your lives! Etc
