Here's some cool trivia from the first:
This is from the Road Warrior. It was probably what I was thinking of when I made the comment about the costumes.

The "get-out-of-jail-free card" that Goose gives the triker was an on-set joke. Because of the limited budget, the biker gang was an actual biker gang (the Vigilantes), and they had to ride to the set each day in-costume; often with their prop weapons displayed. Since the production company expected them to be pulled over by the local police, each was given a letter explaining the film's peculiar requirements, and asking for law-enforcement's understanding and cooperation.

In a 2015 interview with The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith podcast George Miller said that it was not the intention when the script was written to set it in a post-apocalyptic world. This was done because they didn't have the money for extras and properly maintained buildings. In order to cover for this production value limitation the title card was added to the beginning explaining the story was set after a world war. This also accounts for why there is generally more of an established society in this film then any of the sequels.

The costume department assembled the costumes by raiding - amongst others - junk shops, second hand clothing stores, sporting outlets and S&M shops.
