*TooDumbToLive: Max isn't exactly the brightest guy around. When he is framed he makes the situation worse by pointing a gun at the FBI, stealing two cars, and kidnapping children. He also shows a complete lack of basic survival skills. He messes with a bear cub, drinks bug repellent instead of spraying it on, and mistakes a bee hive for a pinecone. It is a wonder he is still alive.
