Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie when Max is clearing a path for the plane he leans out of the right side of the vehicle preparing to jump clear of the impending crash. When it does show him jumping, he is jumping from the left side of the vehicle.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: George Miller, George Ogilvie
Starring: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Tina Turner, Adam Cockburn
Max, Master, and several of the Gatherers (the lost children from the desert) crash out of Bartertown when Pigkiller commandeers the semi used to power Bartertown and drives it away down a disused set of railroad tracks. Aunty Entity and her minions follow in hot pursuit. Several kilometers down the track, Jedediah Junior has blocked the rails, preventing further escape in the semi; Max then finds Junior's father (Jedediah the Pilot) and strongarms him into flying them out in his triplane. Max sacrifices himself by using a truck to smash Aunty's vehicles out of the way, allowing Jedediah's plane to take off. Aunty's men find Max alive, and Aunty lets him live. Meanwhile, Jedediah, his son, Pigkiller, Master, and the Gatherers fly to a ruined Sydney, where they establish a new settlement. They leave the city's lights on at night for Max, who continues to roam the wastelands alone.

Chosen answer: Actually grooming would be somewhat important, if only for general comfort. Unruly facial hair can be quite uncomfortable and gets dirty easily. It is entirely plausible that men would regularly shave if they had a means to even in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
