Then came George Miller and <a title=\"IMDb\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0079501\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Mad Max<\/a>, which was set in a world at the onset of an energy crisis. That world was soon devastated by global war in <a title=\"Road Warrior IMDb\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0082694\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior<\/a>.\u00a0Finally, Miller would move us fifteen years past The Road Warrior to a time when all that&#8217;s left are small barter outposts and large metropolitan ruins in <a title=\"Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0089530\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome<\/a>. Now that George Miller is finally bringing us <a title=\"Mad Max: Fury Road\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1392190\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">a new Mad Max<\/a>,\u00a0we thought it would be great to look at his process of crafting the original trilogy\u00a0compared to Fury Road. You&#8217;ll find that he takes a very similar practical approach,<strong> doing as much in-camera as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mad-max-2-the-road-warrior-behind-the-scenes\">Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior &#8211; Behind the Scenes<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MZ3NrpGGfQU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mad-max-fury-road-behind-the-scenes\">Mad Max: Fury Road &#8211; Behind the Scenes<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U9kK-CbqH0k?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mad-max-fury-road-george-miller-featurette\">Mad Max: Fury Road &#8211; George Miller Featurette<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zUtHFnJS3kw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Want more behind-the-scenes action?
