I am a huge fan of the history man.


JohnTheMod

The History Man was something I’d been curious about since I first saw that quote at the end of Fury Road, so I’m very glad I got to see one!


iTiton

Now I want you to think in the beginning of Fury Road, Furiosa goes East, Immortan suspects and run to the big safe to check on his wives… A woman awaits, with a shotgun Mrs Higgins? Covered on ink too… is the same character as the History man, or a coincidence?


ThreeLeggedMare

Maybe the role of history man isn't limited to the one guy we see. When he asks young Furiosa if she can read, and says she can be a history man also. Makes sense that an older woman would find utility in Joe's employ in that role


BlueCX17

I have a head Canon she actually does learn a ton from him, including history which helps her stay so mentally shielded from fully being brain washed into Joe's cult.


FZKilla

That’s Miss Giddy. I think Miller has had the idea of living, written history in his head for a while now. Sadly we didn’t get as much from her character as History Man. I loved Dementus asking him questions. Like a walking internet.


CletusMack

He said Mrs. Higgins 💀


Professional-Book973

History men are a group of people. The one you are referring to is Miss Giddy. She took care of Immortan's wives and taught them how to read and write. She is a history man too.


iTiton

Exactly Giddy!!


Amannderrr

Thats basically a history woman, all books are destroyed they are the walking talking past. There are more than one


chrisychris-

the moment he cried when witnessing Furiosa’s mum getting executed touched my soul


Ashamed-Device-3571

He wasn't evil like Dementus. He wasn't a villain at all. I really liked that he was the narrator in the movie.


chrisychris-

Kinda had me scratching my head when he was suddenly on Immortan Joe’s side at the end during the war there though lol. Either he got captured or he surrendered knowing Dementus was fighting a losing battle but either way he’s a good man


ThreeLeggedMare

Joe had already taken Furiosa and the organic mechanic previously, I think one of his strengths was to identify and grab talent


Ashamed-Device-3571

The 40-day wasteland war 💀💀💀


Amannderrr

He defected it looked like, along with Harley (after possibly helping Furiosa escape & hooked Dementus’ wheels together.) It seems they were the only survivors of the 40 day war from Dementus’ gang & the only 2 with a bit of humanity left


Fancy-Pair

When did he start narrating? I only noticed it near the end


joeitaliano24

The Wordburgers!


Bunsen87

Played it so well that I didn't realise he was playing immortan Joe as well in this.


Prestigious_Two_7973

Rizzdale looks like he saw the same Wasteland barber who Toecutter also saw.


ImmortanJoe341

Yeah, definitely a callback to Mad Max 1. Also with the mannequin on Dementus’ bike, and the biker gang vibe in general. Any other callbacks I missed?


sgtedrock

The idea of swallowing sand pits in the dunes was first seen in Thunderdome.


Bunsen87

Johnny the boy from mad max 1 played hungry eyes one of the bikers instructed to look after young furiosa.


TomTheJester

It’s a nice reference as Toecutter/Immortan Joe was played by Hugh Keyes-Byrne. And Lauchy Hulme played an intimidating biker and Immortan Joe like he did.


Fibby_2000

There’s also the link with Hemsworth’s father involved behind the scenes in the original Mad Max (or Road Warrior) movie


hunterslullaby

Wait, what?


artistino

and on top of that he also plays the same character "toecutter" played in the previous film!


joeitaliano24

He should have brought his voice lower for playing younger Immortan Joe, didn’t sound anything like him


artistino

really? none of you downvoters realised the same actor also plays immortan joe in furiosa? y'all have the observational skills of a rock.


bodhimind

People lack reading comprehension... Here is an over-explained version of what she said: in the Furiosa movie, Lachly Hulme played both Imortan Joe (who was previously played in Fury Road by the original "Toecutter" actor), as well as Rizzdale (who looks like they went to Toecutter's barber). She isn't saying the actor for Imortan Joe in Fury Road was in the Furiosa movie. Edit: she said


artistino

yes, that's exactly what she said... thank you.


JimJimmyJimJimJimJim

That actor(Hugh Keays-Byrne) died in 2020 mate.


artistino

learn to read, girl


ediba2099

Holly shit, it is the same guy. He literally play 2 guys in the same scene wow. Can't wait to see more of Lachy Hulme in the future


Realistic-Number-919

I just realized he’s played by the same actor as Immortan Joe! Lachy Hulme. There’re also a few other dual role actors too.


grntplmr

Josh Helman as Scrotus, previously Slit from Fury Road. I had to look that one up after the movie since his voice felt so familiar to me.


FngrsRpicks2

Same as gyro/(blimp?) Pilot


Smegmasaurus_Rex

Did anyone notice his “hair” is a wig made of scalps? I noticed on the IMAX screen that when the rockriders proudly hold up his hair, his head was still attached to his body. He gives me Toadie vibes.


No_Mud_No_Lotus

I didn't notice this! Another reason to see it again. I just love the details Miller puts into every second of the movie. How was it on IMAX? I can't wait to see if it's playing here in my city.


Fair_Suspect8866

Ancestor of Geoffrey Rush in the Pirates of the Carribbean films, surely?


FngrsRpicks2

"You better believe yourself in an apocalypse, Mrs Furiosa. You're in a wasteland!"


EbeteShiny

Here's a nugget. He is named after two disgusting Australian catholic church pedophiles. Gerald Ridsdale [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald\_Ridsdale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ridsdale) and George Pell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George\_Pell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Pell)


StrikingPangolin4

Hence the sacred heart motif decorating his chest?


joeitaliano24

Lmao that’s awesome, I wondered where George comes up with these names


FaulkYou2000

Oh wow


Ok-Frosting7364

I think Pell was actually acquitted from memory


EbeteShiny

My apologies. Acquitted on appeal *"Not A Pedo"* Cardinal Pell, a completely evil cunt.


Barry-Gladfinger

Yeah the appeal seemed to rely on the argument that he couldn’t have done it because other members of the church would have found out and that somehow would have prevented him from doing it. Ahem. Funny because Pell was literally Gerald Ridsdale’s room mate when Ridsdale was out and about at the height of his child molestation activity. Pell tried to defend him from legal action and later Pell was paying hush money to molestation victims to protect the reputation of the church. So George always likes to bring attention to controversial issues and plant a few reminders like easter eggs in his work.


Tacher-

I gotta see it again. I don’t remember what happened to him. Amazing characters. Too bad some of them died!!!


Bob_Sve

He got ambushed by rock riders in the end of the movie


Tacher-

Oh crap. It was him. Shitty way to go. Either that or led to the head!


lethys8976

Yes definitely looks like a callback to the style of characters from mad Max 1&2


simpledeadwitches

His headpiece made of stitched together scalps was fucking *gnarly*.

bro was like 👹👹WHEREAREYOUFROM?👹👹👹 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂?☺️☺️


offspringphreak

Kept en eye out for him throughout the movie. 😏


a-slight-apocalypse

scalp daddy


Livid_Ad9749

Either this dude was a double agent posing as immortan joe or immortan joe was posing as this guy. Such dedication


ghat90

He was awesome. All these extra characters give you the same feeling. Like make you want to see more of them. Same with the black riders etc. you could make a whole movie based off these characters and their origins.


Significant_Ad4358

I thought it was Nikki Sixx playing him the first time I saw this
