Corrected entry: During the final chase scene, Max is shot with an arrow which enters through the palm of his hand and comes out the backside a little bit. A short while later during the scene, he slaps the palm of his hand against the car door to push the arrow out. In reality, he would have needed to slap the back of his hand to dislodge the arrow.

Correction: An arrowhead has a barb or flange which would catch and tear more tissue out if removing it the way it entered. It is easier, and generally better to pull the arrow through rather than push it back it out.

What I was pointing out was that the arrow entered through the palm side of his left hand so the barb was protruding just outside the back of his hand (against his forehead). When Max climbs in the car, he slams his left-hand palm against the door which shows the short side of the arrow protruding on the palm side and the shaft of the arrow coming out of the back of the hand...which is opposite of the way he was shot originally.

Corrected entry: During Max's scrap with Furiosa he gets hold of what is a Glock, judging by the pattern of the grooves on the slide. The magazine is ejected and the remaining round in the chamber is fired at the truck as they fight. This would cause the slide of the Glock to lock back after the final round is fired. Moments later, Nux grabs the the magazine and holds it still while Max works the Glock over the top of it as he sits on top of Furiosa. To then chamber the top round, Max would only need to use his thumb to press the small slide release lever on the left side of the Glock. Instead, he reaches behind himself with the Glock in his hand and releases the slide in some fancy, indeterminable, and completely unnecessary way (perhaps by swiping the slide release lever against his boot), before firing some rounds next to Furiosa's head.

Correction: With the magazine out, the slide will not stay back since the magazine follower isn't pressing up on the slide stop. What Max does is correct, he inserts a new magazine into the Glock with the slide closed and no round in the chamber. To fire he has to rack the slide first, which is what he does.

Corrected entry: When Nux is driving through the sandstorm he sees the War Rig driving parallel to his right side in the distance so he turns and makes a b-line straight for it. But in the very next shot, Nux is coming up right behind the War Rig, not from the side.

Correction: The war rig is seen going off to Nux's right so when he catches up to it he would be behind it.

Corrected entry: No need for Furiosa to hand Max the file or for Max to use it to get his mask off, as they had a perfectly good set of bolt cutters they could have used.

Correction: At that point, Max had just met the group and didn't trust them, because you don't wave a gun at people you trust. And, let's be honest, would you let someone you don't know hold a big sharp object to the back of your head? It's better to just give him the file, as he can monitor his progress and reduce the risk of stabbing himself in the head.

Corrected entry: Max suggests that they all go back to the Citadel, taking the route back they traveled the first time. That means they would have had to go through the swamplands again but this is never seen on the return trip. Also Joe and his forces were right behind them this time so it's highly unlikely they would have made it through the swamplands so easily a second time.

Correction: Not every event in a film (in this case, travelling through the Swamplands) has to be shown on screen.

Because they didn't come back the same route. Joe's forces lost them after the swamp in the sand dunes where they drive around until they came up on the Vuvalini before heading further east, When they turn back they were far away from the Bog and able to take a more direct path south of it that led straight to the pass.

Mad Max: Fury Road mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the final chase, we see Max taking the arrow out of his hand and Furiosa pulling the knife out of herself. A few shots later, Furiosa is changing gears and moving the rig to the left of Max's rig. In that shot, the knife is still lodged in her body. (01:39:40)

Question: What was the purpose of Nux's idea concerning overturning one single tree?

Answer: The truck was stuck in the sand and they had to use the tree to winch it out - the tree was used as an anchor. The weight of the truck and soft sand pulled the tree out.
