I rewatched (part of) Fury Road with some friends online yesterday and something that was really jarring, not having seen the old Mad Max movies, and not just because of the current *gestures*, is Max opening by saying he was a cop before the apocalypse.

Yeah, there's a loose canon with the movies (Max hurts his leg in the first movie, which is why he has a brace in Fury Road). But the chronology is Max starts off as a cop in a dystopic future and a nuclear war happens offscreen between the movies.

In Fury Road when Furiosa gets to the Green Place she says she was kidnapped "7,000 days" ago, so about 20 years, suggesting the apocalypse happened even longer ago than that. That line doesn't fit a mid-30s Hardy, but was likely written to fit a chronology with an older Gibson.
