Mad Max: Fury Road opens on every movie screen in the Milky Way on May 15. After all, having a film crew wait around for a broken car to be fixed is very expensive. And, of course, there were duplicates of all these vehicles. So the on-camera cars had to be built to be reliable and rugged rather than fast. When you’re filming in Namibia, it’s not like there’s a nearby O'Reilly overstuffed with spare auto parts. What computerized graphic trickery was used in the film was reportedly to clean up shots and digitally erase safety and camera riggings. That noted, keep in mind that practically all the stunts seen in Fury Road were done “practically,” which means physically, in the real world, using actual cars and living stunt people. Information on the mechanical substance of these is sketchy because, unfortunately, we weren’t on the set. But this is nowhere near a comprehensive catalog of the 150-or-so lunatic machines conceived by production designer Colin Gibson and built by the production company. Here are 10 of the vehicles featured in the film. Joining him is Charlize Theron as “Imperator Furiosa,” supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as “Splendid,” Lenny Kravitz’s daughter Zoë Kravitz as “Toast,” and Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough as “Capable.” If you were looking for a cat name, there you go. Instead the part of Mad Max Rockatansky has moved to Tom Hardy, the British actor who played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Mad Max made Mel Gibson a star, but he’s not in Fury Road. And while previous Max movies were filmed in the Australian outback, this one was shot in Namibia. Miller needed about 25 years of development, including 12 agonizing years after announcing that a script had been written, to get this movie made. George Miller is relaunching Mad Max with the long-rumored, then long-delayed, and now imminent Mad Max: Fury Road. Thirty years later, it’s time to get back to some Australian postapocalyptic insanity. From 1979’s original Mad Max through 1981’s The Road Warrior and then slamming into Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985, the future was brutal, toxic, barren, and filled with rabid vehicular beasts built from scraps that civilization had left behind.

No film series has captured the anarchic dystopian science-fiction vibe as giddily as George Miller’s Mad Max movies.
