Max's Surname's Origin?

Quote from reference to "Rokitansky"

"‘Even Max’s surname [Rockatansky], a deconstructionist’s dream, embodies death itself, referring as it does to a particular method of medical deconstruction, the postmortem examination. The name seems to invite analysis of the film, a detective’s search for clues which must explain the dreadful trajectory taken by the hero, a veritable descent into hell’. McAuliffe offered an explanatory footnote, ‘“With Karl von Rokitansky of Vienna (1804-78), the gross (naked eye) autopsy reached its apogee. Rokitansky utilised the microscope very little and was limited by his own humoral theory”. (Encyclopedia Britannica)’." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nucleophilic (talk • contribs) 03:27, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on.. this doesn't seem to say that he surname comes from Rokitansky--it just said that one could deconstruct the last name to fit this historical figure. This isn't an assertion as I read it, it's just historical supposition. Is there a quote that distinctly and absolutely says that this doctor lent his name to Max?

I agree. If you read the reference, it's nothing more than a student's theory in a thesis paper. I've removed it.MartinezMD (talk) 01:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome: In this edition of the Mad Max series, it has been eighteen years?

In Beyond The Thunderdome he is 41 years old

Mad Max 23 years old Mad Max 2 28 years old mad max 3 41 years old

41-28=13

Jessie and Sprog Citations

In the infobox, do Jessie and Sprog being his wife and son really need to be cited? The first film very firmly establishes who they are and their relationships to Max. Just wanted to ask since I noticed Jessie's has an "unreliable source" notice next to it. 69.35.177.180 (talk) 21:47, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the "deceased" part probably needs a citation, since the last time Jessie is referred to in the series (in the first movie), it's stated that she's still alive. 74.111.121.164 (talk) 13:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the opening to Mad Max 2 and the Fury Road comics, crosses sticking out of the ground can been seen with Max walking away from them, there the graves of Jessie and Sprog.[1][2]--108.82.5.206 (talk) 17:04, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox character: children

For one thing, it has of course already been stated and proven with sources that the 2015 game and the films are not connected, that the Fury Road comics are canon since George Miller co-wrote them, and that nowhere in the film or in the comic shows Glory becoming Max's adoptive daughter.
