Obviously mechanical was the strongest of those, but this was one, too. His reason for existing was that he could play the guitar - and there was sort of a theory of what the social hierarchy and everything was: you were either available to do battle, as a war boy or you had a higher status than anyone else or you had a particular skill. Gibson: Pretty much everybody had to have a reason for existing. MTV: George also came up with this incredible back-story for everyone… I imagine the Doof warrior has a backstory, too?
It was a huge thing that went “Doof, doof, doof,” and gave us the beat of the battle. And the Doof machine basically was just that. With that and a little stage and a huge PA system - and then George cast a fantastic singer performer, cabaret artist called iOTA in the role of Coma the Doof warrior. We ended up with an 8-wheel drive, an ex-military rocket launching track to give us enough scale, and then turned the reverberators and built them out of old air conditioning duct steel. And the only way to do that was to build the largest, last Marshall stack at the end of the universe.īungee cord included, the best guitarist in the world in front of it - and then backing with some tiger drummers and basically trying to build the drums more and more. So the plan basically was to try to come up with a vehicle, an idea that could be heard over the roar of a couple of hundred amps. Uncle George, being George Miller, imagined the biggest little drummer boy in the world. And every armada, every battle, every army, has a little drummer boy. Well, the initial genesis I have to say, when I came in - when I was offered the project - there wasn’t a script, but there were all the storyboards. MTV News: There’s a lot of crazy elements in the movie, but every time that guitar guy appears you can’t take your eyes off of him… So where did the initial genesis of that look and of that idea come from? oh, and as an added note, it actually works!:
Alex Zalben of MTV News asked the question of Colin Gibson, the film's production designer. In fact, you're not the only one wondering why this guy's in the film. The drums were an important part of the battlefield communications system, with various drum rolls used to signal different commands from officers to troops. Until well into the 19th century, western armies recruited young boys to act as drummers. The purpose is to play the historic role of the drummer boy:
