If you read this site and still need more incentive to see Mad Max: Fury Road, you’re one tough cookie to persuade. It’s easily not only the summer’s best action spectacle thus far, but one of the most exhilarating movies to come to theaters in years. It’s also pure gleeful, goofy fun.
But if that isn’t enough, allow director George Miller and actor Hugh Keays-Byrne — who played two of the series’ villains, Immortan Joe in the new movie and Toecutter in the 1979 original — to give you a glimpse of the movie’s mayhem as they tell of an apocalyptic future caused by cell phones and blasting mouths at the cineplex in the Alamo Drafthouse‘s latest Don’t Talk and Text PSA.
The clip has the actor and the director sitting down to discuss the new future, although our old buddy Toecutter does most of the talking. In true theatrical fashion, he asks simply for us to do a fucking favor and turn off our phones and shut our faces, so as to help avoid the callousness of humans and the eventual downfall of society. But don’t worry, he also wants us all to have a lovely day too.
What’s perhaps most fun about this clip is how we actually get to see an unmasked Keays-Byrne do the delightfully thespian work he does best, without masks or breathing tubes in his way. He’s clearly a performer who loves to relish in the moment, and it looks as though he can have fun even with this brief and cheeky little PSA.
So do yourself a favor and shut your phone off, check out this clip and have a lovely day:
