Characters like Doof Warrior don't appear often. The unofficial mascot of Immortan Joe's army, and a symbol of the bombast in Mad Max: Fury Road, the masked rocker with the flaming guitar became an instant hit on the internet and earned an immediate induction into the movie icon's hall of fame.
The Doof Warrior is Mad Max: Fury Road in miniature. Both are combinations of seemingly disparate parts and random parts, clearly grafted onto each other, but somehow still seamlessly organized to make something perfect and unique. The Doof Warrior is just one of Fury Road's many miracles, but the story of his creation is also the perfect way to understand how the film reached the legendary status it has today. After all, why wouldn't the coolest movie of the century so far also have the coolest character in it?
