One of model coordinator Dennis Nicholson's crew members is working on a miniature of a Sydney skyscraper in this production still.

Dust and sand are fanned across the miniature set of a ruined Sydney while a camera does a fly-through to film the closing sequences for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

One very common usage of miniature sets is to take a real-world location and – devastate it!

This production still shows the cast and crew on the set of a crashed aeroplane for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Perhaps emboldened by the success of the previous two Mad Max films, the Kennedy Miller production team had no qualms about creating an obvious Australian location for Mad Max

While Mad Max and Mad Max 2 did not feature any international stars in the cast, directors George Miller and George Ogilvie cast veteran American entertainer Tina Turner

This production still shows Max (Mel Gibson) in conversation with Aunty Entity (Tina Turner) in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. 

Tina Turner, wearing her Aunty Entity costume, sits with crew members of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in this production still. 

This beautifully designed poster for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is in stark contrast to the posters for the first two films in the franchise.

This Warner Bros. clip shows an impressively staged and dramatic fight scene from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Mel Gibson performed his own stunts during this sequence.
