Id forgot about TZ. I have seen that for not for 25 plus years at least. The talking pig films never appealed nor Happy Feet ;)

Not only that, but at the end we're left with the smart midget (with uneasy look on his face) and Furiosa as the new leader of the Citadel. In other words: Bartertown situation.

Did the music box make it into the final film? I don't remember seeing it?
But I have only seen the film once so far.

Yes. But in this case, the father is killed. How do they feel about that. But on the other hand, the midget has not much of an option. He is not able to fight, let alone defend himself. So, he has to go along with the new ruler.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

Than you missed it. Yes, the music box is played by Toast (Zoë Kravits) if I'm correct. It is also already mentioned in the references in the beginning of this tread.

Ah ha, I saw it in the trailers, no idea why I missed it in the film, what part of the film does it appear?

Music box is there but the actual song is a lot less pronounced than in the trailer.


Another reference is Valkyrie = Warrior Woman. At least her death had similar impact.

In what part, I don't know. If I'm correct the second half.
But the trailers are not that real to the movie. (sorry for my expression, because I'm Dutch)
The scene when the Dag looks at the armada coming towards them between her fingers is not in the movie as far as I can remember.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.

Can't remember where, but I do remember seeing them playing the music box while sitting in the rig.

Big one nobody has mentioned. When they're taking the Gigahorse, one of Immortan's Goons hisses at Furiosa just like Toecutter hissed in MM1.
