- Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
- Actor-Inspired Element:
- It was Roger Ward's idea for his character to wear a scarf in one scene. "If I was going bare top, I was going to wear a tie."
- The ragged look sported by Max in the second film was Mel Gibson's idea. He began cutting up his gloves and jacket to give himself a more nomadic look.
- Adored by the Network: The film popped up almost daily on AMC in the spring/summer of 2005.
- Beam Me Up, Scotty!:
- Max's black coupe. It is a Pursuit Special, but is often mistakenly called the Interceptor, the designation of his yellow patrol car (and also Roop and Charlie's patrol car), by fans, because it sounds cooler. And not just by fans — in Road Warrior, it's described as "the last of the V8 Interceptors" by the mechanic.
- Max is never referred to onscreen as Mad Max. The nearest anyone comes to it is when Johnny screams at Max that he is mad when he is handcuffed by the ankle to a car rigged to explode.
- Fake Australian: Mel Gibson, who plays Max, was born in America (to an American father and Irish mother) and actually only raised in Australia. (He's not even a citizen, instead having Irish and American citizenship). Tom Hardy, who plays him in Fury Road, is English.
- Word of God: George Miller has said that the films should not be considered in strict continuity, but rather a series of loosely-connected folk tales about "Mad Max". The second and fourth ones even make it explicit through the use of narrators.
- You Look Familiar:
- 36 years after playing Big Bad Toecutter, Hugh Keays-Byrne returned to the franchise to the play another Big Bad as Immortan Joe in Fury Road.
- Bruce Spence played the Gyrocaptain in The Road Warrior and another very similar pilot in Beyond Thunderdome.
- Max Phipps played Benno in the original film and returned as a crash victim in the second.
