Thanks to a heroic soul who compiled the real footage shot on the set of the film, you can see the film, stunts and all, sans any CGI and the results are mindblowingly amazing. Most of the action appears to be exactly the same, which is saying a lot for [a movie that featured endless people basically drag racing in the desert](http://time.com/4163289/best-movies-of-2015-mad-max/ "undefined").
