The Doof Warrior, played by performance artist and musician iOTA, was a blind guitarist who was part of Immortan Joe’s militia, who was in charge of playing a sick riff on his fire-belching guitar while hanging wildly from the back of one of Immortan Joe’s war rigs.
Even after all the critical and commercial success it received, it is difficult to believe a movie like Mad Max: Fury Road actually got made.
One such element was the Doof Warrior, which director George Miller revealed during a recent interview for New York Times, almost got cut by Warner Bros. after the initial test screening.
The film walks an extremely delicate tightrope between over-the-top action blockbuster and post-apocalyptic melodrama.
