Revealing mistake: When bikers ride over Max's arm; a small hole in the asphalt under Max's arm can be seen.

Revealing mistake: When Goose puts his crashed bike in the back of the pick up truck you can see foil wrapped around the spokes to simulate the mag wheels. The budget was so tight they could not afford a second set of mag wheels for the stunt bike.

Movie Nut

Revealing mistake: After Max takes up the chase and is on Nightrider's tail, you can see that the driver of the cop car is a stunt driver, as he appears to have a hat on. Also, there appears to be a helmeted figure in the passenger seat where there is supposed to be nobody.

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.

Question: Maybe a dumb question. But what exact kind of Apocalypse happens in the movie that causes all of these problems? Shortage of gas is one of them. But was it nuclear war or what? What would cause the port of Sydney Australia to dry up like it was shown in the 3rd movie? Did the whole sea dry up?

Chosen answer: It was nuclear war. Tectonic plate movement could make ports dry and flood others. None of the movies ever goes into great detail about the apocalypse.
