I didn't think of this until I saw Mad Max: Fury Road a second time, but the pale white War Boys serving Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) bear a strong resemblance to Rod Zuanic's character, Scrooloose, from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. While it has been rumored the film takes place between the events of Mad Max (1979) and The Road Warrior (1981), writer/director Goerge Miller said in a recent interview regarding the chronology of the franchise, "All the films have no strict chronology. It's like an episode in Mad Max's life. Never ever wrote any of the scripts with a chronological order." Of course, this isn't entirely true as Max clearly has lost his wife and son in The Road Warrior and it only stands to assume Beyond Thunderdome takes place after the first two films, and now I'm beginning to think Fury Road has to, at the very least, take place prior to Thunderdome.
