** The nightmares to be had only get worse. Presuming the oceans are actually gone and it wasn't just something else that wrecked the world like a tungsten rod bombardment seriously changing the topography of the world then the atmosphere in the Mad Max world is seriously messed up. Normally small amounts of hydrogen do escape the Earths atmosphere on a yearly basis but this is more then made up for by our being bombarded by small meteorites but it appears something has happened on Earth in this world that allowed water vapor to escape in larger quantities rapidly drying the world until a new equilibrium had been reached with whatever additional gas that's around which forced the water vapor out. Otherwise all the Earths water has been trapped in the polar ice caps with temperatures being at extremes across the globe with very few moderate or temperate zones. RuleOfScary is likely in effect here, as nothing that currently exists in weapons technology can have these effects, even the strongest nuke, but since the setting relies on HumansAreBastards, we have to assume ''something'' we did messed up the world even worse than the older movies.

** One particular example; the Bullet Farmer getting blinded by glass shrapnel from Furiosa hitting his searchlight, with a red flare held up by one of his goons revealing his eyes sockets are now just empty bloody sockets, and his insane scream realizing this.

* Many people have praised ''Fury Road'' for how it depicts the horrors of sexual slavery: there is no on-screen rape anywhere in the film, and the dome that the wives lived in look aesthetically pleasing enough to make one wonder why anyone would ''want'' to leave the place if all you had to do was [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland pop out a few kids for an evil overlord]], so how bad was their situation really? Simple: [[TakeOurWordForIt IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT THEY WANTED TO ESCAPE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.]]

** How did he acquire his mother's face in the first place? When he was a child (a ''normal, healthy child'' raised in a happy, loving environment), raiders attacked him and his mother and dragged her off. Several days later, somebody dropped his mother's severed head into his lap. When Joe found him, he was nearly catatonic, still clutching the severed head. Brrrrrr.
