A lost arm in this environment would be a death sentence...


...No antibiotics. No doctors. No pain killers. Lack of clean bandages. Reduced effectiveness of the immune system due to accumulated radiation. You'd be ripe for an infection, no doubt. Not sure how you'd heal up in this environment but it certainly would be slowly. You couldn't simply fit yourself with a prosthetic and be A-OK again. I just assumed during Fury Road that Furiosa was born without an arm in this environment, which would make sense. The idea that she painfully lost her arm, healed up with minimal medical care/facilities, designed and built her own prosthetic steampunk arm with just one hand, and seemingly shook it all off rather quickly isn't all that realistic. Agree/disagree?

A guy sitting there in a movie theater and dwelling on how she survived without antibiotics... A lonely business.

Are you sure that this is the only unrealistic part? Because I think the whole thing is utterly unrealistic and realism wasn't an objective.

haha thats what I thought - who fucking cares, she got lucky

It’s a work of fiction

True, one of the worst parts of the movie, along with the No Battle of 40 days.

You’re whining about someone surviving a lost arm but have nothing to say about a tree growing out of a man’s dick hole?

But that was a dream/imagination, I understood.
