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
Visible crew/equipment: When Wez rips the door off the tanker you can see a crouched crew member next to Max. This has been disputed but it is there, watch underneath the steering wheel just after Wez starts shouting "Go! Go! Go!". (01:19:05)
Humungus: I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war.
Trivia: The logo on the tank truck is "7 Sisters Oil", reference to a conspiracy theory, popular before OPEC-conspiracy theories took over, that Standard Oil and six other companies controlled the world oil market and bought up and suppressed 200-MPG carburetor and so on to keep oil prices up.

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.
