opening scene. he's standing there eating a two headed gecko car door wide open crap scattered everywhere, no where near ready to move at a moments notice. "Oh darn someone's coming I better hurry up a pack this crap I have strewn all over and get the hell out because suddenly they're right on top of me" Not something you would expect from a "survivalist".
It's obvious in the opening scene that he cannot hear the cars until it's too late because of the voices in his head.

couldn't hear the cars approaching but could hear the gecko scurrying across the ground? OK It's just me then.

He was looking down when the gecko scurried over.

No audio required.

Got any more brain busters?

think you should rewatch the scene MC he never looks at it. If you're saying he has some kind of gecko spidey sense maybe... But he never looks at it, just stomps it and eats it. and none of it explains the passenger door open and a bunch of shit just scattered around. Maybe the "voices" interrupted him from getting his shit together . I don't know just seemed like a dumb movie to me.

The whole "the water was poison so we moved here to the desert where there is none" Because no one knows how to distill water amirite?

It's SAND!!!

I have the movie on prime so just watched the scene again he is looking away the gecko comes up from behind him. defend a dumb scene if you want. Sorry I didn't know it meant so much to you. I am going with spidey sense that only works on geckos

And then there was the time he had his truck and camels stolen by an old man and his kid.
LoL...

The entire intro scene was a little... off putting- yeah it kind of is silly- Max shouldn't have been snuck up on- the "going nutzo from voices" is a FR addition to the Max character- and it kinda sets a retcon to MM1- shouldn't of he have seen his Wife AND kid die? and actually you do not see EITHER officially die on screen- the kid is referenced in the hospital "the baby didn't stand a chance" or something -and his wife was not DEAD per say when Max decided to go crazytown on Toecutter and his gang and then go wonder off into the wasteland conveniently before all civilization and populated areas are nukes/apocalyptoed...

The intro to FR is more of less a vehicle (lulz) to get him to the citadel and give some fan service interceptor action (although it was lame and got blown up in literally not even a minute) - and to those following the series it sets FR somewhere debatable in the timeline... the interceptor is destroyed at the end of 2 and not used or seen in thunderdome so it "seems" as if FR is somewhere before 2- but deff before 3... in 2 and 3 we do not see any "long lasting" effects from fallout etc. no mutations or generational issues as seen in FR- so it would put it after them all, but it could just be a different area that is more effected by the fallout than others- the only reference to fallout is the water selling guy in barter town.

Edit: because Max's wife was not actually dead-dead in MM1 and we just assume (just like his partner is not dead-dead just super burned and 'not the man he was') I was kind of expecting one of the mothers in the land of many others or whatever to be his wife and furosia to be his daughter as ya know they spent that time on the farm/beach with the old lady and "blasters" brother guy.

Well don't get me started on those Sci-Fi films where you see a spaceship, in space and can hear it!!!

I have the movie on stolen so just watched the scene again he is looking down, and the last time I looked down I could see a few inches behind my foot.

Whether he saw it out of his peripheral vision or had mystical lizard-sense, and whether the vehicles seemed to sneak up on him despite how unrealistic that is, the rest of the fucking movie was awesome, and that opening scene shouldn't ruin the rest of it. It is fine if you don't like the movie, but that scene shouldn't be any part of any actual reason, because it is purposely just a fun/convenient scene to let him do a voice over, struggle to piss, eat a lizard, and then get a cool shot of cars racing past the camera from behind, all leading up to him getting captured. Period.

That is the dumbest fucking reason not to like any movie I have ever heard, especially one as badass as this one. You are a bad person.

"the desert is quiet so I don't like the best movie of the year" get the fuck out of here

Totally dumb reason...

Since he saw the lizard, and he couldn't hear the cars because he was being haunted by voices in his head.

This movie is accurate in every way possible.

I literally cant even.

I'm going to buy two copies of this movie to counter balance your criticism (regarding the lizard thing).
