Not Quite Hollywood
7.6/10
As Australian cinema broke through to international audiences in the 1970s through respected art house films like Peter Weir's "Picnic At Hanging Rock," a new underground of low-budget exploitation filmmakers were turning out considerably less highbrow fare. Documentary filmmaker Mark Hartley explores this unbridled era of sex and violence, complete with clips from some of the scene's most outrageous flicks and interviews with the renegade filmmakers themselves.

7.6/10
For 20 years director George Miller fought to unleash the ultimate Mad Max movie- Mad Max: Fury Road. Witness George's journey from the dream of a female warrior to the harsh plains of the Namibian desert to statues of gold in Hollywood, California.
The Madness of Max
7.5/10

With over forty cast-and-crew interviews, hundreds of behind-the-scenes photographs and never-before-seen film footage of the shoot, this is without a doubt the last word on Mad Max (1979).Interviews include: George Miller, Byron Kennedy, Mel Gibson, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Roger Ward, Joanne Samuel, David Eggby, Jon Dowding and many more.

Road War: The Making of 'The Road Warrior'
7.1/10

Maximum Fury: Filming 'Fury Road'
7.1/10
An extensive introduction to the practical effects insanity of Mad Max: Fury Road, the challenges faced by the production team and the cast, George Miller's vision and process, the development of everything from the storyboards to the script to the elaborate chase sequences, and much more. It would have been amazing to have a filmmaker's audio commentary or a more sprawling production documentary, but this will certainly do... at least until Warner announces the inevitable Furious Edition re-release (or whatever execs decide to call it) that we're sure to get in the near future.
The Five Wives: So Shiny, So Chrome
6.5/10
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (The Splendid Angharad), Riley Keough (Capable), Zoë Kravitz (Toast the Knowing), Abbey Lee (The Dag) and Courtney Eaton (Cheedo the Fragile) share stories about their time in Nambia, work shopping their characters, developing a sisterly bond, their personalities and costumes, and their contributions to the ensemble.
Fury on Four Wheels
7.1/10
The post-apocalyptic vehicles and war machines of Fury Road, from concept to design to full throttle, fully realized implementation. Production designer Colin Gibson and key members of the production team discuss bringing character, personality and purpose to each car and truck, and finding unique ways to surprise Miller and the audience with the high speed, high octane scrapyard fleet they managed to build from scratch.
