Max's interceptor itself....
When we first see it, it is essentially as it is in MM2. The bottom of the nosecone has been removed. However, when the war boys rebuild it, they add back the missing portion as it was in MM1.

I saw another reference today.
When the fuel pod was ditched and exploded against the canyon wall, the bikers stopped and looked at it when they knew the fuel was lost. It is the same when the Humungus gang stopped and looked when they discover the tanker didn't contain fuel.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

I don't know if this is already been mentioned, nor if this is even a reference but i seemed to recall Max said "crash through" when telling the gangs the plan about going back to Citadel. The same as when Pappagallo was telling the people that "we'll crash through" the Humongous gangs. Similar situation, same words.

edit : scratch that, Max didn't say crash through.

Apologise in advance incase i missed it else where, but remember when Pig killer is driving the train/truck and he gives a "HA HA" when he Max sidles up to the door?

Nux gives a "HA HA" after he gets them out of the mud, when Max sidles up to the door 8-)

Whew! I just finally saw the movie, so much to take in...

Here's a reference I haven't read here, unless I missed it.

The bikers had a little makeshift camp up on the hill as they were observing the approaching shitstorm. Kind of like Max's camp on the hill where he was observing the attack on the compound.

Pardon me if this was posted before, but at one early moment, Furiosa step out of the truck door and with her Lieutenant they both fire at the same time at a spiked car blowing it up -- while the truck keep speeding, just like Max did with the two barelled shotgun in RW. That was absolutely badass.

Oh yeah I noticed that too, there was definitely a white out when he hit him.

I had been thinking of the biker camp as well, but was going to say it reminded me more of the marauders camp in MM2 with everyone skulking around when max comes back with the Mack truck.
