Line 148:
* [[Wasteland Elder]]
* [[Weapon for Intimidation]]: Max's shotgun for most of the second movie. He uses it to bluff Wez into retreating at the start of the movie and rigs it up to keep the Gyrocaptain captured. It's only when he searches some of the bodies by the autogyro and finds a single shotgun shell that we discover that the gun has been empty all along.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: In ''Mad Max 2'', it was originally going to be revealed near the end of the film that Lord Humungus was in fact Max's old Main Force Patrol partner Jim Goose, who was horribly burned (but not confirmed to be dead) in the first movie. While this didn't make it into the film, some elements of the final product might be leftover hints:
** Humungus' scoped pistol is a very similar weapon to the standard sidearm used by the MFP (albeit a different model)<ref> for the record, MFP's issue weapon is a Smith and Wesson Model 28, the utility version of the Model 27, the first .357 Magnum revolver. Humungus uses a [[Dirty Harry|.44 Magnum Model 29.]] </ref>, and other members of his pack use modified MFP patrol vehicles.
** He appears to have terrible burn scars underneath his mask, as evidenced by the back of his head, though the rest of his body is completely unblemished.
** His speeches about losing the people you care about and "ending the suffering" seem to hint at a more conflicted and tragic personality.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Once Max quits the force around halfway through the first movie, Fifi, Roop and Charlie are never seen again.
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: All MFP officers carry a S&W .357 Model 28 revolver at all times. This could have been very useful to Max when he dropped his shotgun while facing the bike gang.
