It's been over a year since Mad Max: Fury Road was released, and we're still enthralled with the sheer insanity of it. George Miller's smashing action remake actually won Oscars for film editing, costumes, makeup and hair, sound mixing and edit, and production design, but there may have been a reason it didn't win for visual effects: most of everything you see on screen is real. Those epic car crashes? Real. Those hazardous flame-throwers? Real. Tom Hardy strapped to the front of a moving vehicle? Real. This video shows you exactly how much the stunt team coordinated — it's extraordinary.
