Mad Max Answers - How much time passes between Mad Max and The Road Warrior?

What is the time frame beteen Max Max I and Mad Max II (The Road Warrior)?

In an interview, Mad Max movie director George Miller said approximately five years have passed since the events of Mad Max I and Mad Max II (The Road Warrior).

Max's car, the V8 interceptor, has clearly aged and been battered over this time period. The car has been modified with most of the interior ripped out and two over sized fuel tanks added.

Max has as well as his features are craggy and his hair is starting to gray.
His clothing, made from durable leather, has rips and burst seams suggesting a number of events and time have taken place since the first movie.

Max has no shells for his shotgun; his service revolver is missing and even if he still had it, most likely is empty too. This suggests that over time, Max used most of his ammunition fighting bad guys and obtaining fuel.

Max has been reduced to eating old canned dog food. Clearly, Max has had time to adapt to a world without grocery stores and normal human food. This does not happen overnight.

While no calendars are seen in the Road Warrior, it is safe to say that some years have passed since the events seen in the first Mad Max movie.
