Mad Max Fury Road Isn’t So Ferocious
In the opening scene of Mad Max Fury Road, the titular hero is taken captive and used as a human blood bag because he’s a universal donor. It’s pretty grim, but it captivated our attention. You’ve likely heard the term before regarding blood types. According to Red Cross Blood, there’s Group A, Group B, Group AB, and Group O+ and O-. Both blood types of Group O are universal donors, meaning the three other blood types can use their blood in their bodies. But the scientific facts lay it out for us. Just because you’re a universal donor, doesn’t mean you can start handing out large pints of blood to people. You’d die. Whenever you donate blood, you only give one pint. If the film stuck to these scientific facts, there wouldn’t be a movie, but it’d be impressively more accurate (What Culture).
