Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Visible crew/equipment: When Max enters Barter town for the first time, right before the shot where he hands over his weapons at the entrance, a microphone from filming can be seen in the upper left corner of the screen, rather obvious to spot although the background is dark.

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.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Mad Max is sent on gulag on a horse, they place a jar of water on a stick tied to the horses head in order for the horse to keep walking "towards" it. When the horse drop dead to the ground you see the jar empty on the ground and no trace of water in or around it. In a few shots later you see the jar again, but this time the ground around it is wet.

Questions

Question: Since this is set years after the "Pocky-clipse" (as called by the kids), while Max and a lot of others have long hair, why do they mostly not show any facial hair? Given there are some knives and razors, but it would seem that shaving wouldn't be high on the list of survival.

Movie Nut

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.
