Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga[]
During the fourth chapter of the film, Praetorian Jack changes up the procedure for the War Rig's run by having Praetorian Furiosa drive the "V8 Pursuit" as he takes a War Boy with him in the rig.
The rig makes its run to the Bullet Farm where they are ambushed by Dementus and members of his Biker Horde. During the ensuing battle, everyone on the War Rig is killed, except Praetorian Jack. Jack manages to drive the rig down into the basin until the war rig is shoved over the edge of the road where it is destroyed.
Furiosa manages to rescue Jack, however, as the rig goes over the edge. Afterwards, they escaped into the Wasteland in the Valiant, pursued by Dementus in his "Six-Foot." He catches-up to them. Furiosa attempted to shoot Dementus with the "boom stick" Jack gave her when her left arm -- the arm with the star chart she tattooed, a map to the Green Place -- is crushed between vehicles. Then Dementus rams into the Valiant causing it to wreck, thereby capturing Furiosa and Jack.
Behind the Scenes[]
The vehicle also served double-duty as Furiosa actress Anya Taylor-Joy's stunt-training vehicle for Furiosa.[3]
