What's left behind the scenes

  • In 1985, Joan Vinge wrote the novelization "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome: Road Warrior II" based on the film's screenplay.
  • The airplane shown at the beginning and end of the film is called the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk. It is a single-engine agricultural biplane designed and manufactured by Transavia Corporation in Australia. The aircraft is entirely made of metal, has a short fuselage with two tails, and a Continental O-520 engine. Its first flight took place on April 22, 1965, and it was certified on February 10, 1966.
  • The film ends with a panorama of Sydney destroyed by nuclear war. This scene was filmed using a miniature model of the city.
  • The punishment that Max receives after the battle in the Thunderdome is called the Gulag, a term that became a household name after Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel "The Gulag Archipelago".
  • Tina Turner had to shave her head so that the wig made for her would fit properly. It is said she did so without a hint of embarrassment.
  • The sandstorm at the end of the film was real, and to film some shots, a plane with a camera flew directly into the storm. The film crew was caught in the desert by the sandstorm and had to wait it out in cars and other similar shelters.
  • Initially, a third film in the 'Mad Max' franchise wasn't planned; it was supposed to be a post-apocalyptic film in the vein of 'Lord of the Flies' about a tribe of children accidentally stumbled upon by an adult. The suggestion to make that adult Max came from director, writer, and producer George Miller.
  • The script required the Entity to drive a car. All the cars used in the film had manual transmissions, which Tina Turner was not comfortable with, so a car with an automatic transmission had to be specially created for her.
  • Tina Turner's chainmail costume weighed over 55 kg.
  • The film featured 600 pigs. Purchasing such a large number of animals would have negatively impacted the market, so the pigs had to be rented.
  • For two months before filming, children were trained to hunt and use primitive weapons.
  • George Miller initially wanted to create a television series about Max, based on the feature films of the franchise, and wanted John Blake, with whom he had previously worked on the 1986 action film “The Mountain Watch,” to play the main character. Unfortunately, Blake suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, ending his acting career, and the television series was never made.
  • Casting director Alison Barrett “scoured” all the kindergartens and schools in Australia in search of children to film. She needed to recruit 60 people aged 2 to 16.
  • Dennis Williams, who had previously worked on George Miller's 1981 action film “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior,” was supposed to participate in the train stunt. Filming went wrong from the start. It was initially postponed due to scheduling issues with the trains, and during the stunt, the stuntman burned his hand and had to be evacuated to the hospital by helicopter.

The suggestion to make that adult Max came from director, screenwriter, and producer George Miller.
  • George Miller once intended to create a television series about Max, based on the films of the franchise, and wanted John Blake, with whom he had previously worked on the 1986 action film "The Mountain Man," to play the main character. Unfortunately, Blake suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, ending his acting career, and the television series was never made.
  • Dennis Williams, who had previously worked on George Miller's 1981 action film "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior," was supposed to participate in the train stunt. Filming went wrong from the start. It was initially postponed due to scheduling conflicts with the trains, and during the execution of the stunt, a stuntman burned his hand and had to be evacuated by helicopter to the hospital.
  • The punishment that befalls Max after the battle in the Thunderdome is called the Gulag, which became a household name after Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s novel "The Gulag Archipelago."
