This scene is a turning point in young Furiosa’s story according to her interpreter Anya Taylor-Joywhich explains to the media: “George and I had a big talk about why that scene was so long. We see skill build up during the fight, and it’s very important to understand how resourceful Furiosa is, but also her courage. This is the longest series we’ve ever shot. On the day we finished, everyone was treated to a bottle of Stairway To Nowhere wine to mark the occasion!“

“I think I have to sit down and try to figure out what’s happened in the last seven months. But I’m incredibly proud of this film and I’m proud of everyone I’ve been with. I’ve been able to work with it and the amount of money. The amount of love and effort and work that’s gone into it.
It’s the dirtiest, bloodiest movie I’ve ever seen, which is saying something. Anytime I get to be dirty or bloody, rather than just nice and stuffy, I enjoy it. This is where I feel most comfortable. Yep, Furiosa was right up my alley. “
