Director Denis Villeneuve dedicated significant time and effort to the sandworm ride scene in 'Dune Part Two,' involving months of practical shooting before CGI. The process included continuous sand blasting and creating a method for the Fremen to jump onto the worms. Villeneuve knows how the Fremen dismount sandworms but chose not to show it in the film. The action scenes took 44 days to shoot, drawing inspiration from Road Runner cartoons.
