Fury Road -Crash & Smash
Article said:
When George Miller returned to the world of Mad Max last year, he did so without relying on too much CGI, opting for practical effects. This gave Fury Road a more tangible, grounded experience, which is why so much of the action pummeled critics and fans in ways computer-generated spectacles have failed to do so in recent times.
Still, that doesn’t mean the Oscar-nominated sequel wasn’t without its fair share of CGI. Instead, Miller worked it in when necessary, to his advantage, which is, you know, what you’re supposed to berkeleying do with the technology in the first place. In a sense, it brought back audiences to the glory days of the blockbuster.
Now, the producers have unlocked footage of the film bereft of any CGI enhancements. Oddly enough, it still looks like the same movie most of the time, which does two things: 1. it proves how unbelievable the stunts actually were and 2.) reveals how terrifying an experience it must have been to shoot. Good god.
Watch above and look out for its inclusion in the forthcoming special-edition Blu-Ray box set of all four Mad Max films, which should hit the States in the near future. The set will also include the previously reported black and white version of the film, properly titled Black and Chrome Fury Road. Not so mediocre.
Pretty impressive. Now I'm going to have to go back and watch it again.
The movie was stupid, seriously, but the cars and stunts were awesome. Wife will not watch again

There was a fan edit where they took out all the acting. Even with no voices, it was spectacular.

I'd be far more likely to actually go watch a movie if this happens. I haven't been in a theater for well over 5-years.
Thanks for the clip. Soooo much better than the plot-less movie.
Though my Valve Cover Racer (last year's champion) does say, "May you ride eternal, shiny and chrome" on the side of it.
Witness me.
Plot? Who needs or has enough attention span for plot when your under visual attack from the word go?!?!? That movie is a visual FEAST!!
Funny that I kept reading that it was a piece of feminist propaganda, that it had no plot, this, that and the other..... blah blah blah. Ok. Points taken and immediately discarded. I mean, HAVE YOU SEEN IT???
Fury Road had more plot than The Revenant.
Mad Max actually had a bunch of plot and sophistication to the story. It just never hit you over the head with it. It was so quietly there that it was much more sophisticated than you normally get in an action movie to the point where it was really easy to overlook, especially because Fury Road works so well as a mindless action movie that you don't need to pay attention to the plot to enjoy it. We're used to movie plot being driven by dialogue. Fury Road was more like a good comic book or video game where the plot was driven by visual, physical acting, and symbolism.
