First, this sounds like a really lovely prank gone really, really wrong (and with good reason). The surgical mask axe is a good reason I can't blame the police for wasting his rear end, but given the fact he was using pepper spray instead of an actual gun makes me half wonder if he thought it'd be hilarious to dress up like a wasteland psycho and blind people.

... in fact if the "surgical mask" isn't apart of a post-apocalyptic costume, I'm going to be kind of surprised.

ED: Also this is the only reason I could see to target Fury Road. If you're going for "rampage psycho count" you don't usually pick a movie that's been in theaters for about two months.

ED: Cancel the prank gone wrong theory, fucker actually managed to hit a couple people with an axe. Still think he was a movie obsessed psycho.

It's drastically better than people expected. What looked like CGI overload poo poo in the trailer was pretty much all real vehicles, the color correction is super vibrant and that's why it looked that way.

Worth checking out if you can find a theater where a psycho isn't going to stab you with an axe.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug 5 (Reuters) - A gunman wearing a surgical mask and wielding an ax opened fire on Wednesday at a Nashville-area theater showing of the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" and was shot dead by police after injuring three people when he doused the theater with pepper spray, authorities said.

Was he even a gunman? Was he triple-wielding?

He had an airsoft gun and an axe and fled the theater as soon as 1 cop showed up, only to be gunned down immediately by fast responding police. This totally looks like prank gone wrong.

he probably thought the mask would protect him from the pepper spray

I guess you could say... poo poo just got real.

But seriously though this retroactively makes all viewings of Mad Max more lame because I didn't get to participate in the ARG by being at the one lucky theater to receive an actual axe-attack by hosed up wasteland mutant. The one :perfect:

time in history to yell WITNESS ME and nobody makes the cut. My local theater had a poster, one single poster, and somebody else got the poster.

The only way you could improve a screening of Fury Road would be to crash a monster truck through the wall.
