Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • The burned hand that falls into view in the hospital is actually Sheila Florance's (May Swaisey).
  • Joanne Samuel (Jessie) was a last-minute replacement for an actress who was injured in a motorcycle accident 4 days before filming began.
  • SPOILER: Mad Max was banned in New Zealand for the scene when Goose is burned alive inside of his vehicle. It mirrored an incident with a real gang not long before the film came out. It was later shown in NZ in 1983 after the huge success of the sequel, but only as long as it had an 18 certificate.
  • The "get-out-of-jail-free card" that Goose gives the triker was an on-set joke. Because of the limited budget, the biker gang was an actual biker gang (the Vigilantes), and they had to ride to the set each day in-costume; often with their prop weapons displayed. Since the production company expected them to be pulled over by the local police, each was given a letter explaining the film's peculiar requirements, and asking for law-enforcement's understanding & cooperation.
