Revealing mistake: As Ironbar shoots into the conduit where the kids are, the spots where the spark charges to simulate the bullets hitting are visible.

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening sequence after Max is robbed of his vehicle, he walks up to a pair of boots that has a Bosun's whistle in the strap. As the camera looks at it, the cameraman and equipment can be seen beside Max in the reflection as he reaches down.

Question: I find it interesting that part of the final chase is against a modified truck on a set of rails. I saw no rails in the wide shots of Bartertown, and no exits for the the truck. So, where was the exit, why use a modified truck for power when it was never cranked, and how did the kid know to be prepared for the truck, or any rail traffic, at all?
Chosen answer: The train tracks would have been covered by dirt for not being used for years. The truck was already cranked, as the engine was source for the generating power and lights. The exit was boarded up and the truck ripped through it. The kids were not prepared, but did observe what the adults were doing and could have been given instructions on what to do.

Audio problem: When Master is riding on Max's truck, he says "Everybody, have a good time! Saturday night!" His mouth doesn't match up with the words.

Continuity mistake: When Ironbar is hanging on the outstretched pipe on the right side, the standard with the face alternates between being against the pipe burning, and below the pipe.

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.
