Thunder on the Wasteland: Tim Wong Triumphs in a Mad Max Masterpiece

In the relentless world of action cinema, few films demand the kind of precision, endurance and vision that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga does. From roaring engines and high-stakes chases to the grit of hand-to-hand combat under blistering sun and deadly terrain, the stunt work forms the heartbeat of the story.

Enter Tim Wong — a name now firmly etched in stunt-film history. As Stunt Coordinator on Furiosa, he collaborated alongside stalwarts such as Guy Norris and Richard Norton to craft sequences that roar off-screen with raw physicality. Their work didn’t just underlie the film — it won the 2024 Seattle Film Critics Society Award for Best Action Choreography.

Wong’s journey spans decades of stunt-craft. According to his roster, he has served as Stunt Coordinator, Stunt Actor, Stunt Rigger and Fight Choreographer from New Zealand, working with systems where movement, timing and split-second decision become survival.

What makes this win more than a trophy:

·       It acknowledges the layered complexity of modern action — vehicles, practical effects, large-scale stunts, and the integration of digital VFX all must work in harmony.

·       It highlights the teamwork behind the scenes; stunt-coordinators don’t work in isolation. Wong shared the credit with Guy Norris and Richard Norton underlining the collaborative theatricality of their craft.

·       It seals Furiosa’s status as a landmark in action filmmaking. The film’s massive 15-minute action sequence, reportedly shot over 78 days with nearly 200 stunt performers, exemplifies the scale Wong and team operated within. 

For our stunt-community, this is inspiration. Tim Wong’s win is not just personal—it reflects how high the bar for ‘stunt coordination’ has risen. It demands athleticism, safety-first mindset, narrative awareness and innovative execution.

As we continue building our own body of work—performers, riggers, coordinators—we have a benchmark now: this win demonstrates that the artistry of stunts is as vital to cinema as direction or cinematography.

Here’s to Tim Wong, Guy Norris and Richard Norton — and to all who make safe-to-see impossible look effortless.
