How do you make a movie that is one long chase scene? You stick Mad Max into it, and set it in Australia's apocalyptic future, and the idea will sell itself, even if Max Rockatansky ends up being a fairly incidental character. The 2015 movie Mad Max: Fury Road was the fourth Mad Max film, but had all kinds of trouble going from the drawing board to the screen. Director George Miller came up with the idea in 1987, found a reason for the feature-length chase scene in '98, and was set to start filming when 9/11 happened, which further delayed the production. In 2010, rained delayed shooting for an entire year. The workaround cost so much that they ran out of money before all the scenes were shot.
But it wasn't all bad. Elvis Presley's granddaughter met her husband on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road. That's just a taste of the trivia you'll find about the making of Mad Max: Fury Road at Mental Floss.
