Toecutter also appears to have a "conscience", or at least the semblance of one, while dealing with other people. He became angry at Johnny the Boy's lack of finesse while demonstrating his eagerness to attack "the bronze", choosing instead to carry out his revenge in a more subtle and psychological manner by making Johnny put his mouth over the barrel of Toecutter's shotgun. While not as calculating as Bubba Zanetti, it is clear that Toecutter can employ tact while dealing with situations. Toecutter is a mean, cruel, greedy, violent, ruthless, sarcastic and aggressive leader, capable of both savagery and strategy. Toecutter hisses angrily at Max before fleeing on his motorcycle, tailed closely by Max, he veers into the path of an oncoming semi-trailer truck and is run over and killed instantly. He shoots Bubba Zanetti at point blank range with a shotgun (after sustaining a significant gunshot leg injury of his own), though Johnny escapes when he sees Bubba killed. After torturing the auto mechanic for information, and forcing several members of the gang off a bridge at high speed, Max methodically hunts down the gang's leaders. With Sprog having been killed instantly and Jessie near death, Max is rage-filled so that he dons his police leathers, and takes the supercharged black Pursuit Special from the MFP garage to pursue the gang. After the van breaks down on the road, Jessie attempts to flee with her son on foot, but they are run down by the pursuing gang on their motorcycles Max arrives too late to intervene. May, Jessie, and Sprog manage to escape in the van. Jessie is waylaid by the gang after a trip to the beach May holds them off with a shotgun. Max and his family flee to a remote farm owned by an elderly friend named May, but the gang learns of their destination from the garage mechanic and follows them. The two encounter Toecutter's gang, who attempt to molest Jessie. While vacationing, Max stops at a roadside garage to fix a flat tire while his wife and son go for ice cream. With Goose unable to get out of the vehicle, Johnny-under pressure from Toecutter-throws a match into the petrol leaking from the wreck, setting ignition and severely burning the helpless cop.Īfter witnessing the full extent of Goose's injuries, Max (the main protagonist) takes a holiday with his wife Jessie and infant son Sprog. Johnny throws a brake drum at Goose's windscreen, causing him to crash the pickup truck that he borrowed to pull his wrecked bike. Later, Max's partner Goose is ambushed by Toecutter and his protege, Johnny the Boy, who are waiting nearby. Soon, he and his gang chase after a couple fleeing in their car, first by destroying their car and then raping the couple. He is seen looking for a deceased member of his gang called the Nightrider and reacts violently when the train conductor calls the night rider a "poor bastard" he however quickly relaxes and orders his cronies to take him away but not to harm him. I think - especially if you're a fan of Mad Max - you'll like what they had to say.Toecutter first appears when his gang, the Acolytes, run roughshod over a town, vandalizing property, stealing fuel, and terrorizing the population. We had Hugh and director George Miller sit down at the junket here in LA and talk about something near and dear to the Alamo Drafthouse: being quiet at the movies. In Mad Max he was Toecutter, the leader of the gang that killed Max's wife and child now he's the ruler of the Citadel, a military state ruled over by Immortan Joe's sons and the Warboys. There are a lot of subtle callbacks and nods in Mad Max: Fury Road (the bulging eyes gag is back!), but none are as wonderful as George Miller dipping into his original Mad Max cast and bringing back Hugh Keays-Bryne to play villain Immortan Joe.
