Max comes to see Goose in the hospital. When Max goes into the room the clock in the corridor reads 4:00. After what seems to be seconds or minutes, without any indication of a lengthy passage of time, Max leaves the room. Yet the clock now reads 4:52. [We have no way to say for certain how long Max stays in the room, since after he pulls back Goose's cover, the movie cuts. So to say that Max only stayed in the room for "seconds or minutes", is an assumption. He may have stayed there a lot longer.] Corrected by Twotall

It appears there is some sort of shield on the front of the truck painted to look like it's real. Perhaps due to the budget they didn't want to damage the truck, but it's still a mistake. [If you have to use slo-mo to see it, and it's not visible in the regular play of the movie, it's not a mistake.] When Max and Goose find Johnny the Boy stoned at the destroyed car, he has a leather jacket and a scarf on. They arrest him. Then in the following scene in the Halls of Justice, he's wearing a gray suit. He didn't have an opportunity (or even the time) to change. [Even in the near future of a world where gas is rare, Justice takes time. There is obviouly a lapse of several days, as Johnny the Boy has managed to cut his hair, and aqquire and brief a public defender.] All the while when Max is lying on the road reaching for his side-by-side, he had a perfectly good revolver holstered under his arm. When loosing the 12 gauge he should have just drawn his side arm, which he never once used in the entire movie. [Given how streetwise Max is, he must know he has a revolver and he must have a good reason for not using it. Perhaps he has no ammunition or it simply may not work and be there for show. After all, many things are in short supply.] Corrected by tw_stuart When Toecutter and gang are at the beach, Toecutter first fires one shot from the shotgun in the air, and shortly Johnny shoots twice at the mannequin, but it is a two barrel shotgun and there has been no time to reload. [Johnny Boy has the double barrel, but another gangster, either Bubba or the Toecutter has a hand pistol in their hands. Thus, over 8 shots could have been fired. It does not show who fired the other two shots, the next cut merely shows Johnny Boy leaning on the shotgun.]You may also like: Mad Max 2 | Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome | Terminator 2: Judgment Day | Full Metal Jacket | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
