I miss car crashes - realistic crashes like in Mad Max 1, not explosions or rollover on a hidden ramp. I guess cars are too expensive these days to crash them for a movie.

I thought Max Max Fury Road was cool. Though they spent crazy money on vehicles for that so maybe it agrees with your point.

I mean Max 1 is ok https://youtu.be/Utj2o2eWdC0?t=93

But fury was kind of epic https://youtu.be/hEJnMQG9ev8?t=118

both seem to have some ramps and explosions.

What’s funny to me is how many hidden ramps are featured in that Mad Max 1 trailer :)
Majority if not all shots in fury road are heavily cgi enhanced if not fully cgi.
Dunno - this thing says mostly real https://fraserengineco.com/fraser-fast-facts/mad-max-fury-ro...

Here's some making of where you can see the real shot and the cgi https://youtu.be/hsFc76R7W6E?t=656

Even some of the explosions I thought would be fake was them actually blowing stuff up https://youtu.be/hsFc76R7W6E?t=1278

I'm not sure if the making of shots aren't more impressive than the end verisons.
