Plot hole: Max drives from the hillside to the crashed car to save the occupants but the guy with the crossbow doing up his boots somehow doesn't hear Max's V8 engine approaching, or hear Max get out and sneak up on him, this area would be quiet and Max must have parked nearby to get the injured man to his car.
Mad Max 2 (1981)
1 plot hole
Directed by: George Miller
Starring: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Max Phipps, Michael Preston
Continuity mistake: When the rear window of the semi is smashed, you can see in the very next shot that the chain of Wez's ball mace is already hanging from the ceiling to Max's right, long before Wez even starts swinging it and leaves it hanging there after he is killed.
Humungus: I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war.
Trivia: You might have to look close, but the Gyro Captain's copter is completely covered with pornographic pictures. It took many viewings for me to notice this. Apparently he's very sexually motivated, as later in the movie he complains that the only thing he really misses from the old world is lingerie, and the only reason he joins the escapees in the end is because he wants to be with the cute blond girl.

Suggested correction: Completely covered is an exaggeration. There is one picture on one of the rear fins. Also, that's an assumption about his motivation to join the escapees. It could just as easily be said that he's found people who accept him, and even make him their leader. That could be very welcome to someone who's been alone for so long.
Question: What type of car is the red Hummungus car with the bat on the hood that Max destroys during the chase?
Answer: The car is either a FORD XA Falcon or Fiarmont Coupe, built in the early 1970s. The X series falcons were only availible in Australia, and you'll find most of the vechiles in these movies (the cars at least) are some hybrid of the Falcon.

Suggested correction: Spoken like a person with no hearing disability. Maybe the guy was deaf.
Or, with the number of very loud vehicles in Lord Humungus' group, the crossbow man probably figured Max's V-8 interceptor engine noise was the sound of a fellow wasteland raider and didn't warrant his attention.
