![]() ![]() Basically, my story was that Coma was found with his mother's head, after she had been killed, and he was clinging to it and Immortan Joe came and found him and Coma took her face off and made the mask out of her face, to honor her when he went to war." iOTA went all-in when gearing up to bring to life the Coma-Doof Warrior and even prior to landing the role. He told Audiences Everywhere in 2015, "I knew that George had said that Coma was found by Immortan Joe in a Cave and taken under his wing and he learned to be a musician. When iOTA stepped into the role he apparently took the backstory even further adding some particularly grisly details of his own. They took him and he eventually ended up as the equivalent of the drummer, the fife player or the bagpiper in Immortan Joe's army." In wanting to craft as authentic a "bagpiper" as possible Miller casted a real guitarist in the role: New Zealand Australian shredder iOTA. ![]() I think they killed his mother because she wasn't of any use. He took what was most precious to him a musical instrument, probably a guitar." Miller went on to add to add to the Doof-Warriors lore, explaining: "as they were careening through the wasteland someone heard this music echoing out of that mine shaft, went down there and luckily they saw him as an asset. And that was to go deep down into a mineshaft where they were able to survive. The only way they could survive was to go into a place where there was a competitive advantage to being blind. when things started going a bit crazy he and his mother were left in a mining town. Not only all the characters but every object how it all found its way into this world and how it survived." Miller told Deadline. "The approach to the film was you have to be able to explain everything. George Miller laid out a widely intricate backstory for the Coma-Doof Warrior. In real-life, the Australian states and territories (since 2000) exempt the conversion of left hand drive automobiles to right hand drive if the vehicle is thirty years old (fifteen years old, if registered in Western Australia), but the rear turn signals must have orange/amber lenses. The appearance of left-hand drive vehicles is a first in the Mad Max movies. Several vehicles, including The War Rig, Immortan Joe's double-decker 1959 Cadillac DeVille Gigahorse, The People Eater's Mercedes-Benz Limousine, and The Bullet Farmer's Valiant Charger Peacemaker, as well as The Doof Warrior's Doof Wagon and many of the vehicles driven by the War Boys, are left-hand drive. Writer/director George Miller said that he got the idea for this from Australian filmmaker David Bradbury's 1981 Vietnam War documentary "Front Line", in which Cambodian soldiers preparing for battle suspend small jade figurines of Buddha from their mouths with little straps. Another clue to the spray's narcotic properties is the fact that "chrome" and "chroming" are Australian slang terms for inhalant abuse. However, in a May 2015 interview with CraveOnline, actor Hugh Keays-Byrne, who plays Immortan Joe, said that this practice, which the War Boys think is purely ritualistic, actually involves the inhalation of ".a very euphoric drug" that keeps the War Boys high and suicidally devoted to Immortan Joe. Both the War Boys and Immortan Joe often speak about this as though it is a religious ritual, saying that it will allow them to enter "the gates of Valhalla, shiny and chrome". ![]() To prepare themselves to go into battle, ready to sacrifice their lives for Immortan Joe, the War Boys spray their lips and teeth with a silver substance, very much like common spray paint. ![]()
