This 29-minute documentary offers an interesting and illuminating glimpse on how various stunt set pieces were done for "Mad Max: Fury Road." Director/co-writer George Miller properly describes the picture as a "kinetic movie" while Tom Hardy admits that it was a real challenge to act in such a visually driven film. Among the things we learn was that Miller made extensive use of storyboards, the film was shot in eight months in the African desert, the filmmakers used the dust in the desert to their advantage, Charlize Theron came up with the idea to head butt Richard Norton, and the stunts and car chases were done practically. Moreover, we also find out that Miller originally wanted the pole cats to be shot separately and digitally combined with other footage in post-production, a remote control truck was used for the gas tanker explosion, and Miller erroneously assumed that a stunt driver might have been seriously hurt during the execution of the demolishing of the war rig. Essential viewing for fans of the film.
