The Best Names in Furiosa Are Also the Grossest


The Fury Road prequel is packed with the nuttiest, most goofy-ass names George Miller could dream up.

His followers fly a gigantic octopus-shaped balloon wherever they’re camped out; he wears this ludicrous helmet and face mask with curled horns à la that one Vincent D’Onofrio look in The Cell; and his friction with Dementus ends up breaking the horde apart. Dementus’s one-eyed general Rizzdale Pell is like if Jack Sparrow were actually a hard-as-a-motherfucker pirate instead of a wine-drunk who bought all of his accessories during one of Anthropologie’s please, we have too much crap, buy something from us at an additional 40 percent off sales. Kudos to Josh Helman, who appeared in Mad Max: Fury Road as Slit and returns in Furiosa as one of Immortan Joe’s other sons, the Butt-Head to Rictus Erectus’s Beavis, the bizarro version of Mikey Day, the guy whose name I smiled at every time I heard it.
