Incredible 'Mad Max' Anecdote Confirms George Miller's Genius

Mad Max fans thought the '70s and '80s threequel would be it for George Miller's beloved film series, so imagine the surprise when an Oscar-winning follow-up came 30 years later that was arguably better than any of the previous movies. The wild critical and commercial success of Mad Max: Fury Road led to Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which critics loved, and fans are still itching for more from the acclaimed Australian director. MovieWeb recently spoke with performer Ben Smith-Petersen (currently starring in Shudder's The Dead Thing), who worked as a stunt professional on both of Miller's modern Mad Max films, and we learned more about what the auteur is really like behind-the-scenes.
