Trivia

Margaret Sixel, wife of director George Miller, was responsible for editing the film because, according to Miller, "if any man would have done it it would ended up being like any other action movie."
The jacket worn by Tom Hardy in the film is an exact replica of the one that Mel Gibson wears in the second and third film of the saga.
According to Tom Hardy, he had lunch with Mel Gibson to discuss him taking over the iconic role of Max Rockatansky. Gibson told him that he was fine with it, and gave Hardy his blessing.
