Question about Max Max: Fury Road

[Orrex]

So that bait-woman, the one who sat atop that derelict tower...

Is that how she spends every day? Huddled naked on a pole on the off-chance that someone would brave miles of postapocalyptic hell-scape, see her on the tower and come close enough to be shot by the other women?

Does she get potty breaks? A half-hour lunch?


That's got to be a tough gig, even after the end of the world.

1. well, since you're talking about a pretty much endless flat wasteland...

she probably saw them coming.

2. that's what I was going to say

since it's a desert, they probably saw dust/sand being kicked up from a long ways off.

3. Maybe, but it would be hard to see that tower from more than half a mile away

It didn't appear to be back-lighted against the sky, at least not with sufficient clarity to allow it to be seen from any distance. And even then, why would anyone in that setting go out of their way to visit a decrepit cellphone tower or whatever?


I imagine the conversation was something like this:

"Get naked, Doris. Your turn for pole-duty. I see a dust cloud 20 miles that way."

"Do I have to? Last time, I sat up there for three days, and they passed ten miles to the south."

"Come on, you know the rules. Strip and get climbing."

4. Or she just wanted to work on her all-over tan.

5. Good point. Bikini season is fast approaching, after all.
