Plot hole: Near the end of the opening chase, the caravan and the pick up truck are completely blocking the road, making it impossible for the Night Rider to pass the way we see him do.
Mad Max (1979)
2 plot holes - chronological order
Directed by: George Miller
Starring: Mel Gibson, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Joanne Samuel, Steve Bisley
Continuity mistake: When Goose is ambushed by the bikers, one of them throws a brake drum through the windshield of his car, making Goose lose control and crash. As the car begins rolling down the hill, you can clearly see a silver-helmeted stunt driver falling across the front seat bench.
Johnny the Boy: Whacked right out of his skull man! He ain't never comin' back.
Trivia: The movie had to be dubbed into American English for its US release because of its very noticeable Australian slang.
Question: Whatever happened to the 2 cops from the beginning that were in the March hare pursuit vehicle? We never see them again after the beginning. Did they die when their car overturned or what?
