Mad Max 2 – retitled The Road Warrior in the US – is a standard-bearer for successful sequels and one of the greatest action movies of all time.

This is an authorised five-minute making of Mad Max 2 that focuses on the heroic work of the film's stunt performers – including a look at two dangerous stunts that don't go according to plan.

The hyperbolic voice-over, aimed at international audiences, begins with 'Broken Hill, Australia's last frontier town', referring to the location for the production. After a brief on-location interview with producer Byron Kennedy, we get to see the armada of cars that feature in the film.

But the real interest is in seeing the dramatic stunts being performed and the documentary effectively captures the dangers inherent in action films. In fact, it's hard to imagine a promotional making-of documentary today giving such a candid look at stunts that go awry.

First, we see stunt performer Guy Norris's tumbling leap through the air which was so spectacular it remained in the film. As a qualified medical doctor, director George Miller examined Norris – who broke his leg performing the stunt – before he was ferried by ambulance to hospital.

While Norris could not resume work on Mad Max 2, he has had a long career as a stunt performer and coordinator. As supervising stunt coordinator on Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), he drove a 10-tonne, 16-wheel truck at 100 kilometres per hour directly into a wrecked 16-wheeler, without slowing down!

We also see Mad Max 2 stunt coordinator Max Aspin's car clip the top of a pile of wreckage it was supposed to clear. He too is injured and exits the production. He returned to work a few months later and his later credits as stunt coordinator include Razorback (1984) and Crocodile Dundee (1986).

By far the absolute greatest apocalyptic movie ever made in history.

This movie hasn’t dated. What a masterpiece. I never tire of watching it again and again.

[Scottocaster]

Miller's apocalyptic vision is burned into our minds forever. Love all of these movies.

The genius of Byron Kennedy. Let's never forget his name.

Crazy the take of the stunt that sent the man to the hospital was not only used in the Movie but Trailer as well.

[franktower]

To this day this one of my favourite movies. I don't even know how many times I watched this masterpiece. The stuntmen and women must have been mad lads and lasses.

It's always intriguing watching old footage.. especially from a really good film like mad Max.

"Norris was supposed to land safely, in the most reliable and advanced cushion yet devised -- a huge mound of empty cardboard boxes." What could go wrong?!

[djrichylaurence]

Still a great movie. Watched it just the other night.

This was the best Mad Max ever and the chase was right up there with the 7ups and Bullit.

Only thing I gathered from this video is all the stunts were dangerous when performed....still one of my all time favorite movies at 51 years of age

Great to see behind the scenes footage of a classic film, amazing stunts and even some of the cast relaxing between takes

[bryanb]

Having been to many of the filming locations of this epic movie, it's a real pleasure to see footage from behind the scenes of how it was made and comments from folks there at this time. Thanks for sharing, great stuff!

The Ford falcon xbgt immediately became an icon after this film.

Thanks for uploading this!
Great to see the clips of the cast & crew just milling about 😄
I didn’t know the stunt guys got injured. That’s what makes these movies more watchable than modern stuff - they’re real as real can be!
🙏

Fantastic movie. Great characters, great story, and great score. Even better because it was all done in the days before CGI.
