Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
At the end of the movie when the cadets finally give up, David Shawn shoots Colonel Kerby in the upper chest with a M-16 type rifle, but Kerby lives, gets up and runs in the building later. It is assumed that he was wearing a Kevlar vest. This cannot possibly happen because that type of rifle shoots a high velocity .223 caliber bullet that would penetrate any kind of protective vest. Bulletproof vests are only able to stop a lower velocity handgun round. [While a .223 bullet is a high velocity round it is a very small one and military ball ammuntion does not expand on impact. Col. Kerby could have very well taken that round and got up and kept right on coming.]
