Some things that always bothered me...


1.) Why isn't Max ever referred to by his name? He's referred to as 'The Man With No Name' in Bartertown yet he has a name, I understand if he wants to keep his anonymity there, but why wouldn't he at least tell the kids his name when he says he's not Capt Walker? This never made sense.

2.) When Ironbar shoots the pig killer through the door of the train cab, the arrowhead that went through his leg was massive, there's no way Max could pull it back out the opposite way without it tearing off the pig killer's leg. What should've happened was to pull the arrow in the direction it went into leg, it would be less damaging.

3.) The monkey tracks Max on the Gulag horse all the way into the desert while dragging a water bag with no way to open it and drink some for himself? What? No way that monkey could go that far, the horse freaking died going that far into the desert without water. Then Max carries the monkey under his shirt and collaspes in the desert right on top of him! The monkey would be dead from being crushed by Max! Yet minutes later we see him ok with the kids.

4.) Why is there a great promo picture of Max with short hair holding his double barrell police shotgun over his shoulder when we never see Max get his shotgun back after checking it into Bartertown in the beginning. In fact that was the only time he used it and he had long hair. What the hell, was there some missed scene?

5.) No way Ironbar would be using a hand car train to chase the heroes at the end, that was just lame and thankfully short lived. Also, he would've been killed when he was on the back of the motorvehicle that got ran over by the train, instead he was lying on the cow catcher, that was just dumb.

6.) Max runs into the jalopy pilot at the end and he doesn't do anything to him for stealing his stuff, I mean he could've at least punched him, very disatisfying! In fact the jalopy pilot got away without being punished for stealing in the whole film! And there is no way he could jump out of a jalopy flying at least 40 mph and land perfectly in the seat of Max's vehicle in the beginning, no way. He would've bit the dust and Max would've caught him and kicked his ass.
