    Max's wife isn't killed. This is made clear later on.
    Its ridiculous to critique a movie with the argument 'it's not real, so it doesn't matter'.
    Amen.

      Uh, yeah, she did die. The doctor said she wasn't going to make it, but said to lie to Max that she'd be fine, but he overheard them. Given the fact she never shows up again in the movie or any of the sequels, pretty safe to say she's dead.

        Yes! When I saw this when I was 11 in 1991 on TV. But then I started to laugh when the bikers started to die! Bubba would made a great meal for the crows!

          Max found it pretty upsetting. He went off and killed a bunch of dudes.

            LOL, yeah, he sure did haha
            The better question is if they didn't, in which case they need to get their head checked.

              What made the deaths of Max's family really upsetting was that if the old lady trying to protect Max's wife and child had a lighter AR-15 with a high caliber magazine clip full of multiple rounds instead of the heavier shotgun good for two shots before reloading to use against Toecutter's gang, the movie would have had a happier ending. But at least Mad Max's tragic scene provides a great argument the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America can use against strict gun control. 🙂

                  Yeah when I first watched this back in the early 90's on TV, my first assumption was the gang would kill Jessie and Sprog there and then on the Farm which they could have done.
                  It was just blind panic in a an extreme situation, I mean do any of us have a back up plan for Biker gang chasing us. Jessie could have used May as a smokescreen to escape, then have May drop Jessie and Sprogg off before reaching the main road so they could hide somewhere, I dunno, yeah that did bug me too BUT then Max would have no reason to go psycho crazy mad, hmm.

                      I actually expected their deaths to be much more gruesome, but at least we didn't actually see them get run over.
                      And of course it'd be upsetting it was Max losing his family! The death of Goose sure shooked him up, but it was this that shattered him.

                        You didn't have to see them run over, they were doing the Hitchcock way of doing it, all you see is bikes going pass and her falling.

                              Most disturbing part to me was the fact that she was still running down the road, still trying to escape despite how utterly futile her efforts were. Something about was really saddening.

                                Yeah, so, duh! How else should such a thing be conveyed!? ???
                                And as another poster noted: You didn't see the baby and mother, Max's wife, killedit's certainly implied and NOT shown that you could've seen it. So that makes your post even more pointless. Well thanks so much for that, so highly intelligent on your behalf, oh yes!

                                    Arguably you 'see' more dead baby in Fury Road than in this movie.

                                      Noif she is so retarded that she runs in the middle of the road and not out on in the field she had it comingand why even take the babyif she left the baby in the car it would have made it and btwwhy even leave the farm.she got them locked up and only one way outif they stayed with that rifle pointed at the door, none of them would have had the balls to open the door and max could have come back to the farm and everyone would have been aliveher and that old hag was so stupid or the scriptwriter more like it that they deserved to be killed

                                          Stupid f<>k breeders are their own worst enemy and make it worse for the rest of the world and not just other humans.
                                          While the scenario in the film was quite well executed, it was also stupid in terms of the actions the characters portrayed.
